I've reached the point where progress is clearly impossible. A bad decision a few weeks ago has reached it's inevitable conclusion. I've made a terrible mistake. About 1,000 lines of code -- and tons …

I'm struggling with brain cramps trying to understand something my past self wrote. Current me needs to go outside and do something that doesn't involve software or complexity. Sadly, current me is trying to make one small change and it feels like the software has passed out of the realm …

Ugh.

A painful stretch of hours looking for a problem. Working on this: https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cel-python/wiki/Evaluation-Design. I need to address a performance problem and upgrade things generally to get them ready for 3.13 and 3.14.

Really since about 2014. Not that long. But. Maybe long enough?

The velocity of change is relatively slow.

However.

(And this is a big however.) SourceForge seems kind of …

This: https://opensource.com/business/16/9/alternatives-powerpoint Missing from the list? The S5-based slide-show tools that are part of docutils. The only issue with S5 is that you need to carefully review each and every page to be sure you material fits. There's no autosizing of the fonts, or …

Wound up here: "A Place to Hang Your Hat" and the #LABHR hash tag.

H/T to this post: "Building a Hat Rack."

This is a huge idea. I follow some folks from the Code For America group. The +Mark Headd Twitter feed (@mheadd) is particularly helpful for understanding this …

ComputerWorld, November 22, 2010, has this: "Open Source Grows Up". The news of the weird is "It's clear that open-source software has moved beyond the zealotry phase." I wasn't aware this phase existed. I hope to see the project plan with "zealotry" in it.

The real news is "More than …
