@prologic They would know how to do that, but the issue was anything else, like switching workspaces or opening a terminal window or any window at all. 😅

Updating my #Processing + #Python tools table:

https://github.com/villares/Resources-for-teaching-programming/blob/main/README.md#processing--python-tools-table

After some years, things changed and my opinions changed a bit too:

- #py5 is going *super strong* and the "new snake_case names" are not an issue for me anymore. I used to worry a lot about all the Processing Python mode examples and teaching materials out there, and some of my own, with "CamelCase Processing names" I'm not worried at all about it anymore!

- For the record, Processing Python mode is just a legacy thing, no one should start anything new with it.

- The great "pure Python" (no Java required) Processing implementation project #p5py seems stalled, latest release in Dec. 2023 :((( Advancing it was always going to be an uphill battle...

- The unrelated #Brython based site p5py.com seems to be gone, so I removed it from the table.

- I added a link to my own #pyp5js hack *py5pjs/py5mode* because this is the version of *pyp5js* I'm using most nowadays.*

We did an experiment at work today: Do I even need to lock my laptop when I’m gone or is nobody able to use it anyway?

It went as expected. 🤣

@kat yeah it's pretty terrible these days. Most recent trouble I had was something as simple as installing and setting up the Tailscale client. On literally all my other devices (Linux and Android) that was a cinch, but on Windows.... ohh boy, I had to mess around with reg edits and all sorts of crap and eventually bludgeoned it into working, but it was a bloody pain.

A #musiquinta é para músicas ou bandas com nome de cidade, estado ou país.

Laibach é "the Austrian German name of the Slovenian capital Ljubljana" e também p nome da banda escolhida. Tem várias músicas com nomes de países (especialmente graças ao álbum Volk) mas escolho uma música que fala sobre um continente: Eurovision.

Laibach ao vivo em Portugal na tour de apresentação do álbum Spectre, onde aparece a música Eurovision.

Re. 1c97c : We have now [1913 and onwards] a situation in which U.S. citizens have been hoodwinked into accepting paper money which is owned by foreign corporations. More recently, U.S. citizens are allowing themselves to be hoodwinked into accepting bitcoin which is owned by foreign corporations. In both instances, it's the foreign ownership which is the problem. I'll want to review my notes on this, - but that's what I remember just now.

Ah, so apparently they don’t like writing manpages anymore and instead use XML:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/apt.8.xml

And then they use XSLT on top and what not:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/manpage-style.xsl.cmake.in

It’s not even explicitly *blue*:

You can explicitly use colors in manpages. I saw this in the apt manpage of Ubuntu recently, which, for some reason, uses blue text in one place:

https://movq.de/v/de5ab72016/s.png

Makes little sense to me. I’m glad that most manpages don’t do this. I wouldn’t want unicorn vomit all over the place.

Using colors can be done using the low level commands \m and \M:

.TH foo_program 3
\m[blue]I'm blue\m[], da ba dee.
\m[red]\M[yellow]I'm red on yellow.\m[]\M[]
This is quite horrible.

June 21st, 1789 - The Constitution for the United States of America is ratified, with New Hampshire becoming the ninth state to ratify. Article I, Sections 9 and 10 of the Constitution contain provisions which clearly prohibit the federal government and the states from granting titles: "No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign State. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex postfacto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility." However, no penalty for violating the Article is specified.
