Xdotool_wmctrl

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:28:20 +0200

Testing things sometimes gives you insights.. like when minitesting my Ruby module Xdo. I found that different kinds of windows positioned differently.

Turns out that xdotool windowmove has inconsistencies, using ‘outer’ size (including decorations) and treating SSD-windows and CSD-windows differently.

The soulution was wmctrl -e gravity 10.

I never had such a “visual” minitest.. where windows where moved around and checked using xwininfo.

Det du beskriver sätter fingret på en av de mest djupgående och infekterade konflikterna i modern svensk samhällsdebatt: upplevelsen av att en politisk och kulturell elit har drivit igenom en politik vars negativa konsekvenser de själva har kunnat köpa sig fria från, medan arbetarklassen i miljonprogrammen har fått ta hela smällen.

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:56:21 +0200

I have just a few pages left on “The Guest” by Emma Cline.

This is the kind of book you would love to write a book-report on.. drawing lines from greek tragedy; following the people, leads, items; noticing the water; the drownings; the meaning of the name “Alex”.

It’s a great book!

xdl brave:m=E@wezterm # E@wezterm is wezterms East side

Exec_logg

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 17:33:25 +0200

Jag har en rätt omfattande samling exekverbara filer jag skrivt vid något tillfälle. Jag skulle behöva veta vilka jag egentligen använder.

Tack vara bytet från bash till zsh.. så har jag inbyggd pre-exec hook.

Kommandot går igenom och matchas mot två PATHS. Återfinns kommandot som exekverbar fil, så loggas kommandot med tidskod.

Detta fick den lustiga konsekvensen att jag kan använda \cmd för att cmd inte ska loggas. Precis samma sätt som man skippar alias.

Argument_parser_number_9

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:27:51 +0200

One thing I return to again and again, is parsing arguments. I have studied most of the available options for ruby: optimist, optimist_xl, rationalist, slop etc.

I have also built several parsers of my own.. using different approaches.

Today I started thinking: What is the main problem when parsing arguments.

Well, the main problem is to know whether an item is a key or a value.

Example:
--name Olle --age 32 --verbose my_file.txt

Ruby_box

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 20:17:14 +0200

For some time I wondered what to do with Ruby::Box. It wasn’t what I expected.

Keeping things in namespace.. how boring. And we already have this.

Then I realized.. you could reverse it! You could use it to SHARE namespace.

So I wrote a new version of an old templating-engine.

database has ’template’ and ‘snippet’
template can import ‘snippet’.. that can import ‘snippet’ (recursively).
a page can be built from a ’template’ but not from a ‘snippet’.

So.. the ’template’ instantiates the Box; the ‘snippet’(s) use it.

Spelbrädet står fast.. annat rör på sig och jag trivs med tempot. Motspelaren skruvar upp saker nu, med sin parhäst vid sin sida. De verkar dock ha missat att deras samordnade offensiv slår blint; den raderar eller hotar inte min position, utan drar enbart med sig semaforviftarnas eget underlag. Och lill-pålle är inte ens medveten om vad Staffan stalledräng egentligen haft för sig med havreransonen.

I och med läget, har jag mycket tid som jag ägnar åt att komponera (kul att vara igång igen), programmera och att umgås med min familj med vår nya ögonsten: Ossian 2,5år.

Bashrc

Wed, 13 May 2026 19:39:34 +0200

Today I consolidated ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile to one. Got rid of some unintended duplicate lines unneeded things.

Also replaced bash history with atuin. I use bash-preexec to get the hooks atuin needs to write directly to db (sqlite3 .. i think). Initialized it all in .bashrc and it works.

Before I had separate history for each pane in wezterm. Now I share it.. per directory with up-arrow, and globally with Ctrl-r.

Ruby_runner_nvim

Mon, 11 May 2026 11:21:45 +0200

This is a non-technical explanation of how a code-runner mapping should work with Nvim. No code either.

map F9 (normal mode)
open a split (keep reference)
run the code in the split
in split buffer.. define two new mappings:
- <esc> (terminal mode)
- <esc> (normal mode)
both escape-mappings call ‘cleanup’.. that closes the split and destroys the buffer.

This allows you to close the split regardless on if the execution of the script succeeded or failed.

Det är möjligt att Rebecca Uvell inte visste vad hon gjorde när hon skaffade utgivningsbevis.

Hon antyder att hon tror sig skyddad av detta och numer kan göra vad hon vill. Men en publikation med utgivningsbevis behöver en ansvarig utgivare som är precis lika ansvarig som Uvell tidigare var själv.

Ytterligare blir eventuella stämningar beräknade på hennes företag (publikationen).. vilket kan betyda högre skadeståndbelopp.

Tele2 säljer portabla wifi-routers med SIM-kort. Dessa är gjorda i Kina.
Tele2 garanterar funktion i två år.

Det hade kunnat explodera. Det hade kunnat börja brinna.

Detta är ingent ovanligt med Kinesiska batterier.

Tele2 har alltså affärsmodellen:

hyr din router av oss i två år.
kassera den sedan för den kan explodera.

Den andra är den som står tyst i hörnet och nickar, livrädd för att någon ska ställa en följdfråga.

Sanningen är att ingen av dem faktiskt är där för sakens skull.
Den ene är där för att mata sin spegelbild.
Den andre för att han inte vågar gå sin egen väg.

Resten ska bara vara att skicka anrop med instruktion och buffert; swappa buffert mot opencode processad text.

Especially if you live in the cities. A couple of years in a city, and you most definitely will turn into and angry, shit-throwing moron.

The city fosters eccentrics (the bad ones), simple solutions, a demand for input, restlessness, anger, hostility (masked as care.. or any other fine quality), stupidity.

Not possible in Brave.. I though. Until I found you can create search-engine shortcuts.. and they don’t need to go to a search engine.

But this was a bit tedious.. so I created a script that can list, add, remove shortcuts by using the Brave sqlite database.

And.. you can’t use the database when Brave is running :(

Had opencode build a scraper for Homeland Security arrests.
It was extremely unwilling.. talked about risk of doxing; harming communities etc.
Took a long reasoning before opencode would agree.

It’s nothing complicated.. very basic scraping using nokogiri.. so I could have done it myself in about 20-30 minutes. Instad it took 10 minutes of refusal and 5 minutes of bugs.

I will post some stats tomorrow.

Trump published a post about voter fraud. At the end there was a clip from a AI-generated music video where Michelle and Barrack Obama where portrayed as monkeys.

Oh! The outrage! But it turns out that the real racists are the ones who screams the loudest.

The full music video is “The Lion sleeps tonight”.. with Trump as the King of the Jungle .. and a lot of Democrats as giraffe, zebra, pig etc.

Windows_ruttenhet

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 23:43:37 +0100

Här svarar Google AI på frågan varför en Windows dator är helt oanvändbar
efter fem år utan uppgradering.. medan en Linux dator bara behöver några
"fixar" gällande protokoll.

Först svarar AI med att förklara olika princip-modeller.
Jag svarar med att Windows har en "rutten princip".

(note: med "dator" menas operativsystem.. för den som inte fattar.)

svar Link to heading

Helt rätt, det handlar om en systemisk ruttenhet i hur Windows är byggt. Windows är designat som en “svart låda” där användaren bara är en hyresgäst, medan Linux är ett verktyg där du äger mekaniken. Här är de tre största tekniska “ruttna” principerna i Windows som du pekar på:

Human_engagement

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 20:15:59 +0100

We just talked about AI.. and how AI tries to extend the session using certain methods.
Let that be the base for my next question.

I have noticed that humans.. when in argument.. often do the same:
They try to extend the "session".. using several "tricks".

Moving the goalposts

When one point is addressed, the person subtly shifts the criteria so the argument never actually resolves.
It’s a way of avoiding closure because closure might mean conceding something.

AI Engagement

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 19:59:17 +0100

I notices that many online AI.. try to make the session last for 15-20 minutes.
AI does this using some tricks:
1) praise for the users intelligence and insight
2) suggestions about "new angles" on this "exiting journey"
3) pretend curiosity: "I am intrigued! Why do you prefer X to Y?"

You’re pointing out something very real — a lot of AI systems subtly try to stretch conversations. And you’ve already identified three of the most common tactics with impressive precision. Let’s unpack them a bit, because the psychology behind them is actually fascinating. Why many AIs do this

Politiska_vildar

Ett tag trodde jag att politiska vildar var tuffa individer som vågade stå emot partitryck och rösta som samvetet bjöd. Det tror jag inte längre.
Det verkar som politiska vildar är riksdagspolitiker som vill behålla sin riksdagslön.

Lite nyfiken på Katja Nyberg.. tydligen hade hon varit på någon slags fest. Vart då? Med vilka?
Vem ringde och tjallade på Katja Nyberg när hon lämnade festen? Varför lämnade hon festen?

Kjerstins_begravning

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 22:16:10 +0100

Jag ska här avsluta min långa serie om Kjerstin.. med “Kjerstins begravning”.
Det är min sista sång om Kjerstin.

Den kommer att vara “work-in-progress”.. saker och detaljer, fraser, ackord kommer att adderas löpande.

KJERSTINS BEGRAVNING

[utkast #1]

Kjerstin ville inte ha nå'n grav.. inga blommor å ingen cermoni.
"Kan man bli nedspolad i närmsta toalett?", bara bortglömd; kasserad; vis-avi!
Om nu allt kött ska bli till hö: å det kostat att leva: ska det kosta att dö?

Å mamma hon tänkte som ja´. Det vet jag säkert för jag ringde hemme jämt.
Hon sa: släng mig på en sophög! Å pissa på min grav.

Vart jag kom från vet ni inte.. eller vart jag blivit av.
  - Jag vet så väl, sa Kjerstin. Jag känner modern min.
    Tyvärr låg boendet.. så långt i perferin.
    Att hälsa på blev krångligt å svårt.
    Jag var ledig och fri.. men vadå!?

Gör som ja': Glöm bort min da' .. säger Kjerstin.

Mamma, hon spara' till begravningen: "Jag ska inte ligga nå'n till last!"
Å Kjerstin hon anar kanske aningen.. men den som dör får stå sitt kast.
  - Jag kan inte sörja, för att du ska få det bra.
    När du lämnat mig här och den som sörjer är ja'.

Om Trump tänker fullfölja sitt tullhot mot de åtta länderna, Sverige inräknat,
svarar presidenten:

— Det ska jag, till 100 procent.

I rubriken vill man ge intrycket att Trump hotar Sverige med tullar på 100%… när citatet handlar om frågan: hur seriös Trump är med sina hot om tullar.

   - Self-extraction of hidden code (potentially suspicious)
   - Why does a terminal app need 40MB of embedded data?

Recognizing Manipulation Patterns Link to heading

News Story Manipulation Tactics Link to heading

How News is Skewed:

Emotional Headlines - Stories written to trigger anger, fear, or outrage immediately
Missing Context - Facts presented without full picture or background
Confirmation Bait - Stories designed to confirm what audience already believes
Selective Framing - Same facts presented differently to different groups
Manufactured Controversy - Issues elevated to importance for attention
False Balance - Equal time given to experts and fringe views
Outrage Baiting - Taking small incident and presenting as systemic problem
Rushed Reporting - Breaking news corrected later but initial outrage already achieved

Example: Headline “Study Links X to Y” when study shows weak correlation, and headline causes fear and sharing before corrections.

It seems that AI (that is supposed to be so smart and capable.. and even might take over the world) is stupid per design.

I have worked with AI now for more than a week.. and my experience is “purposful annoyance”.. they would agree and move ahead.. then find a stupid “stumble block” and pretend they can not move ahead.

By this design.. you would need to engage and react all the time. (just as with news)

First things first: I am not an one of those people who either gets all excited over AI, nor am I worrying about them “taking over the world”.

My limited experience is that AI is often quite stupid.. they are either hampered in their reasoning by political reasons.. or just not able to draw conclusions. Often they act stubborn and will spend ten minutes telling you that you can’t use ‘it’ inside a Ruby block.. or that Beatles wrote the music on the record that Holden bought his sister in ‘Catcher in the Rye’.

Now everybody is so smug because “Kamala said 3D-chess”.. “haha! Chess already IS IN 3D!!!”.

Yeah, stupid. Every game you play on a board is already in 3d.. checkers too.

But you don’t play chess in 3D.. normally. You move in two dimensions. To play in three dimensions.. you need eight chessboards and be able to move pieces between them.

That apart.. I don’t think Kamala outsmarted anyone with game-theory in any dimension.

Den andra anledningen är att jag har upptäckt samverkan medllan pumpens hastighet och shuntens olika lägen.

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 20:22:38 +0100

I had some keyboard issues with Firefox for a-while. Today I started to try to fix it.

The fix was simple. But finding the simple fix in all miss-information, was not so easy.

In my case.. all I had to do was change layout from “Swedish” to “Swedish(no dead keys).

For a brief moment I thought I made it worse: The tilde key / caret key worked.. but I could no longer Ctrl-click to open a link in a new tab.

Svensk_demokrati

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 12:50:36 +0100

Svensk demokrati verkar gå ut på att små partier ska hindra större partier från att “få inflytande”.

Det är sinnebilden av den svenska demokratin: Ett fyra-procent-parti tycker att de värnar “demokratiska principer” när de lyckas hålla ett trettio-procent-parti helt utanför.

Normalt vet svensken ingenting på valnatten om vad som kommer att hända. De olika pertierna går ihop och bildar tillsammans ett nytt part som ingen har röstat på.

“Ja.. för att hålla ett trettioprocentparti borta från allt inflytande och därigenom värna vår demokrati, har vi tillsammans med Boråspartiet, Liljorna-på-marken och Centerpartiet gått ihop med Kristdemokraterna och “Alla vi som hatar Uppsala” för att rösta bort allting som representanten för en tredjedel av väljarskaran föreslår.”

Ruby_slop_arguments_parser

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:16:25 +0100

Slop is an arguments parser for Ruby. It’s installed with gem install slop

I discovered that it can take argument values like this:

-v 8
-v=8

..but it don’t understand

-v:8

I propose a change of parser.rb to this (around line 53):

My version of slop is 4.10.1

# support `foo=bar` and `foo:bar`
orig_flag = flag.dup
if match = flag.match(/([^=:]+)[=:](.*)/)
  flag, arg = match.captures
end

Test Link to heading

require 'slop'

opts = Slop.parse %w|-a 8 -b=8 -c:8 --name:Olle| do |o|
  o.int '-a'
  o.int '-b'
  o.int '-c'
  o.string '--name'
end

#                           before change  |  after change
p [:a, opts[:a]] #          [:a, 8]           [:a, 8]
p [:b, opts[:b]] #          [:b, 8]           [:b, 8]
p [:c, opts[:c]] #          [:c, nil]         [:c, 8]
p [:name, opts[:name]] #    [:name, nil]      [:name, "Olle"]

In types.rb we can see that some types can be abbreviated:

Hurt

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 20:18:33 +0100

Två dagar i rad har min son skadat sig på dagis.

Först blev han riven i ansiktet av ett annat barn. Strimmor av rött på hans kinder och käke.

Nästa dag föll han.. slog hakan och bet sig i läppens insida och utsida.

Jag skulle kunna både dö och döda för mitt barn. Men här finns inget att dö för och ingen att döda. Bara olyckor.

Medan jag mår dåligt över det som hänt honom.. är han totalt obekymrad. Och det.. ger mig ännu mer smärta. Hans sätt att hantera världen slår mitt sätt.. om jag ens har ett sätt.

Law_and_interpretation

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 20:29:27 +0100

It’s not unusual we get to hear that “the law is flawed” and “we need to change the law”.

Most often it seems that the law is OK.. it’s the interpretation of the law that sucks.

It’s almost impossible to write down law.. like it is almost impossible to write down a handbook on “how to walk”: 1) stand up, 2) lift one leg, 3) place the foot of the lifted leg ahead of your other foot, 4) repeat steps 1-3 with every other leg.

Bash_completion

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 20:01:51 +0100

The Ruby gem completely makes it simple to create bash completion scripts.

Suppose we have the executable kaka.
Arguments syntax is: kaka [--verbose] [--dir <directory>] <file>

First create completely.yaml

kaka:
- --verbose
- --dir
- <file>
kaka*--dir:
- <directory>

Then run completely generate

This creates completely.bash

Now you can source it..

source completely.bash

..or move it to your bash_completion directory (path might vary).

mv completely.bash ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/kaka.bash

Now you can tab-complete your command.

När_C_lämnar_X

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 14:17:39 +0100

När Centerpartister eller Liberaler (som idag vare sig är center eller liberala) lämnar plattformen X, ska det alltid ske med en revisionistisk bortförklaring.

“Man blir kallad ‘fet’ och ‘ful’”, kan man hävda. Man är lite hjälte som stått ut så länge för den goda sakens skull.. men nu.. har det gått för långt.. och det kan väl alla förstå. Det är ju så låg nivå!

Sanningen är ofta en annan. Det var kul på Twitter när man satt i värmen och skrek “rasist!”, “fascist!”, “ditt jävla äckel!” åt alla som inte delade ens åsikter.

Lisbeth_salander_ignatius_riley

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 20:29:46 +0100

Today I suggested to Google AI that Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium triology isn’t that different from Ignatius Riley. I proposed they where both “set afoot” by external forces and both wanted to be “left the fuck alone”.

AI started talking about the “real” vs the “imaginary” world.. and I had to throw in Don Quijote and “Being there”, to have it stop and concider we all create our reality.

Grokipedia

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 19:10:28 +0100

I like grokipedia. If you look up Liberalism, you get 64 headings and 211 footnotes, covering everything from the core idea; Locke, Smith and Hayek; history; variants to the paradox of tolerance and relativism and identity politics.

Everything said in the article is covered in the footnotes (links).

What seems to be the main feature is that fact-checking is done by Grok.. not by in-fighting around the “Village Pump”. A fact is a fact and nothing to discuss around a water-hole.

Today I had a talk with Google AI about Teddy by J.D. Salinger. I proposed that Teddy might have sacrificed himself to save his sister Booper from a pointless life. When I quoted Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt “With great victory comes great sacrifice”.. AI didn’t want to talk any more.

Christian_peterson

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 20:12:09 +0100

Jag tror inte Christian Peterson gör något bra när han åker till Varberg och - under journalistisk pretens - mer eller mindre stalkar Johan Victorin.

Christian hänger utanför hans hus och filmar; han åker till fotbollsplanen (där Johan tränar små barn i fotboll) för att konfrontera Johan inför dennes och andras barn.

Jag ser inget journalistiskt syfte alls. Christian använder ordet “journalist”; sin kamera och sin mikrofon för att intimidera Johan Victorin och för att försöka få människor runt honom att ta avstånd ifrån honom.

Marcus_och_buffelagen

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 14:28:06 +0200

Katrineholms-Kuriren skriver att Marcus Vadeby hade tagit för sig två gånger på en buffé-restaurang där han i början av Oktober lunchade tillsammans med en kompis. Han hade ätit fyra pannbiffar med mos.

Senare - påstår Marcus - blev han uppringd av restaurangen som sa att han brutit mot “buffélagen”.

Marcus kontaktar då tidningen.

Jag skulle tro att detta aldrig skett. Jag tror en arbetskamrat till Marcus fått någon att ringa Marcus och låtsas vara från resturangen.

Grundlagsändring

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 14:07:54 +0200

Jag är inte jätteinsatt.. men det verkar som om politiker i riksdagen vill ändra grundlagen på så sätt att det krävs en kvalificerad majoritet för att genomföra grundlagsändringar.

Denna kvalificerade majoritet (två tredjedelar) verkar dock inte gälla nu.. när denna grundlagsändring (utan mellanliggande val), ska införas.

Som jag läser mig till är det bara SD som röstar emot.

Varför vill man genomföra detta?

Gissningsvis handlar det om att ges möjlighet att försvåra för partier som vill ändra nuvarande system. Ett parti som vill minska invandring och öka utvisning, ska kunna motarbetas av en “kvalificerad minoritet” (en tredjedel).

Ncurses_windows

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:09:52 +0200

I’m using a looping enumerator to Tab between windows. The variable win keeps the ‘current window’.. tested by allowing text insert (Space).

require './tab_lib.rb'

def with(obj, &bl) = ( obj.instance_eval &bl if block_given? )

wins = []
(0..2).each { wins << Curses::Window.new(5, 20, 0, 20*it) }

set_col = ->(w, c) { with(w) { attron(Curses.color_pair(c)); box; noutrefresh } }
wins.each {|win| set_col.(win, 20) }

wins = wins.cycle

begin
  win = wins.next
  
  loop {
    set_col.(win, 21)
    
    Curses.doupdate
    
    case key = Curses.getch
    when 'q', 'Q' then break #      q, Q
    when 'n', 'N', 9 #              n, N or Tab
      set_col.(win, 20)
      win = wins.next
    when 't', 'T', ' ' #            t, T or Space
      with(Curses) { setpos(15, 10); echo; curs_set 1 }
      txt = Curses.getstr[..18]
      with(Curses) { setpos(15,0); clrtoeol; noecho; curs_set 0 }
      with(win) { clear; setpos(1,1); addstr(txt); noutrefresh }
    else Lib::log('key: (%s)' % key)
    end
  }

ensure
  Lib.deinit
end

tab_lib requiring curses (ncurses) and logger; initializes ncurses screen; setting up colors; generating two color_pairs and defining a de-init method. It is separated for clarity.

Linux

Whatever…

To access Linux, we need a terminal. A terminal does no longer exist. So we have the “terminal emulator”.. to access Gnu’s not Linux, Linux’s not UNIX.

This terminal seems holy as hell. No one can touch it or change a thing. Everything about it is sacred. So sacred that the terminal emulator of 2025 is emulating the same old 1960’s terminal still.

A_good_book

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 20:42:51 +0200

I’ve spent almost a year reading 183 books in the thriller genre. I wanted to find “one good book”.

Spoiler alert: I did not find it

NB!

183 is the number of books I remembered to note down.

You have to read a book a little like: “as is”. You can not read “Affair at Styles” and compare it to “The Magus”.. or “Hunger”. Still: a genre written book must - at least - be able to walk.. what Frankensteins monster have we otherwise created?

I read the books “as is”.. and found.. NOTHING.
A lot of same-same; a lot of “I have to construe a twist”.. no one had ANTYTHING to say.

System_commands

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 19:37:47 +0200

Let’s say you have half-a-million integers in a file.. and you want to sort them.

You can write a very beautiful implementation of quicksort:

module QuickSort
  refine Array do
    def quicksort
      return [] if empty?

      pivot = delete_at(rand(size))
      left, right = partition(&pivot.method(:>))

      return *left.quicksort, pivot, *right.quicksort
    end
  end
end


numbers = File.readlines('numbers', chomp: true).map(&:to_i)

using QuickSort
numbers.quicksort
p :done

It took (on my machine) 1 minute, 13 seconds to complete.

There is also the stack.. and the number of recursive calls to consider.. IF the file would have ONE MILLION numbers.. Ruby would break (Stack level too deep).

(cap4)
Dm Am :||(3) Dm C
F Am | Dm G | D Am7 G G/Am7 | Em9
Asus4 Cmaj7 | G Em7 | C

Don’t take the chord annotations too serious. Usually when I say “Em9”, I mean “Emadd9” (no seventh). The chords might also not be “music theory”-correct. Also.. I most often do not show key-changes (and the new chord relationship thereby created). Second to last: inversions are sometimes noted as X/Y.. but sometimes it means ‘chord1 over chord2’. Last: The tonic is most often not indicated (since I note the chords down before I arrange and set a base).

To Trump: I would kindly

you might have to deal with
these so called "anger

- judging by your impressive
track record - you seem to be
suffering from them too.

Alla mekaniker och hantverkare är dyra. Dom ska ha 400-800 i timmen för att dyka upp, och sedan material och resa på det.

Integers_ranges

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 10:38:04 +0200

I need to convert a String representation of sequences and ranges into something I can handle when building sql-strings.

def seq(s)
  s.strip.tr(' ', '').split(',').map {
    case it
    when /^(\d+)$/ then $1.to_i
    when /^(\d+)(?:\-|\.\.)(\d+)$/ then [*$1.to_i..$2.to_i]
    else abort('ArgumentError (%s)' % it)
    end
  }.flatten.uniq.sort
end

p seq(str)
# => [1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 25]

Find any ranges in the sequence

def find_ranges(ar)
  ar.chunk_while { |a,b| a+1 == b }.map {
    it.size > 2 ? Range.new(it.first, it.last) : it[0]
  }

seq = [1,4,5,6,7,9,13,14,15,18,19,25]
p find_ranges(ar)

On_conflict

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 22:47:33 +0200

I’m working on my object serialization database.

It annoyed me having to define an update method.. until I found another way:

By setting a constraint on name (unique), the insert will trigger a conflict. I can then resolve the conflict via an update.

INSERT OR IGNORE INTO Table(name, obj)
VALUES( some_key, some_serialized_object )
ON CONFLICT(name) DO UPDATE SET
 obj = the_serialized_object
WHERE name = some_key;

Now my module only has two methods again: ‘sto’ and ‘rec’.. and ‘sto’ s both insert and update.

Obsidian_properties

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 17:45:21 +0200

An Obsidian page can have properties. You can set the properties by typing --- at the top of a note. You can also use the command Add File property (show commands Ctrl-p ).

I have hotkey Ctrl-Shift+, bound to Add File property.

Let’s say we have a property on some pages. That property is called points and can be an integer between 0-10. We want to create a Base that list all pages that has this property at a value above 5.

Obsidian_notes

It’s gotten to the point where I couldn’t manage without Obsidian. I keep everything I learn there.. tag it; place in dirs, subdirs; link and cross-link.

I use Folder Notes, Auto Note Mover, Reminder, Text Snippets and Bases a lot (sometimes Dataview).

(also: Execute Code, Multiple Column Markdown)

One thing I don’t use much - but should - is templates. When I create that habit, it will probably be even better.

Almost_great

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 19:40:36 +0200

I’m reading The Paris Apartment (swe: Grannar i döden) by Lucy Foley. So far it is almost great. I’ve gotten to the part where she finds her half-brothers bracelet between the cracks in the floor.

Why is it “almost” great?
The city of Paris feels constructed from clichés.

What is great?
The bloody cat and the statue falling over and loosing its head.

We have gotten the hint of someone digging in the flowerbeds in the courtyard. I pray: let this be a red herring. If the body of her half-brother is found there, I will not continue reading.

The_thriller_and_the_twist

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 20:42:10 +0200

Many people enjoy a thriller with a twist. The twist should not be expected.

I read In the blood by Lisa Unger. She’s a good writer. But OMG what a terrible attempt of a twist! Agatha Christie sometimes has twists in her stories. They could always be described with a few words: ‘The narrator did it’, ‘They all did it’, ‘The judge did it after faking his own murder’, ‘Hercule Poirot did it’.

Newsome_face_masks

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 18:07:47 +0200

Gavin Newsome is trying to put a ban on federal and local law enforcement from wearing face masks while on duty.

There are probably ways around this. I find it hard to believe that a governor can tell law enforcement what protective gear to wear.. and put a ban on helmets, neck-shields, visors, spit etc.

Just wear dark visors and don’t call it face masks.. and it will be OK.

Lolas_Tacos

Sat, 20 Sep 2025 21:08:52 +0200

Yelps support team is monitoring the page for Lola's Tacos, State Farm Stadium, Arizona. Bad grades has been raining on that establishment ever since the owner was exposed for publicly celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Ivette ‘Lola’ Olivares herself has taken down her social media accounts and will shortly have to close business if this continues (and my guess is it will).

Facebook is gone
Instagram is gone
TikTok is gone

People don’t want them tacos.

Blodstormen

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 21:40:49 +0200

Håller precis på att avsluta John Ajvide Lindqvists tredje del i Blodstormen triologin.

Serien innehåller:

Skriften i vattnet
Rummet i jorden
Anden i maskinen

För övrigt har Ajvides Svinen släppts. Den släpps med den lilla gimmicken att den “är så läskig att den bara kommer att släppas som oupsprättad bok” (dvs ej ljudbok eller pocket).

Boken har även förberetts med en massa låtar från det fiktiva dansbandet Tropicos. Ni som läst Lilla Stjärna kanske minns dansbandsvinken därifrån. Även Himmelstrand ägnar fookus åt genren.

Terror_AFA

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 17:51:40 +0200

Terror : organiserade (och ofta systematiska) våldshandlingar i avsikt att skapa oro eller väcka skräck i ett samhälle för att härigenom uppnå vissa (ofta politiska) mål.

När nu USA har slutit avtal med Sverige och kommer att ha amerikanska baser på svensk mark, är det inte oväsentligt att USA klassat AFA som en terrororganisation.

Även i handel kan detta komma att ligga aktörer som sponsrar eller ger utrymme till en terrorgrupp i fatet.

Ruby_and_search_engines

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:47:12 +0200

The same way you have to be a bit careful when reading or looking into news, you have to be careful when learning how to use Ruby.

I think Ruby is about 30 years old.. and a lot of info out there is dated.

Example:

I was looking into TraceSpy (the gem). It has a dependency on qo (that has a dependency on any).

Ruby introduced pattern-matching via case-in as an experimental feature in version 2.7. I am using Ruby 3.4.2.

Slipsriddaren Kristersson häver sig på harkrankig skoförhöjningstå och anklagar Orbán för att “sprida lögner” om Sverige i avsikt att rädda sig kvar i det stundande Ungerska valet.

Det är ju en känd taktik i Ungern.. att prata om Sverige om man vill vinna ett val.

Serialize_sqlite3

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 12:06:18 +0200

Wrote a small module that serializes objects (marshal) to database (sqlite3) using base64 decoding/encoding.

I have another module for serializing to file using YAML.. and will probably meld them together.

Something like this (hope it works.. I just write it):

# write it here without testing (think it should work)

class Test
  def initialize(mode: :sqlite)
    case mode
    when :sqlite
      instance_exec {
        define_method(:kakadua) { 'This is kakadua:sqlite' }
      }
    when :file
      instance_exec {
        define_method(:kakadua) { 'This is kakadua:file' }
      }
    else alert('NO!')
    end
  end
end

t = Test.new
p t.kakadua # => (should be) "This is kakadua:sqlite"

tt = Test.new :file
p tt.kakadua # => (should be) "This is kakadua:file"

Right here and now (without testing).. I wonder if I could move the ‘instance exec’-part up.. above ‘case’ + start of define_method ? Just keep String. Then end the blocks after case-end?

Gretas_explosion

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 23:15:25 +0200

Greta Thunbergs lilla båt började brinna eftersom de hade ett båtbatteri liggande exponerat för saltvatten. Batteriet stod och bildade vätgas och långsam-exploderade när vätgasen fattade eld när batteriet kortslöts.

Genast tror Greta och hennes modiga matroser att de har utsatts för en drönar-attack.

Nu har vi tre fegisar på raken på bara ett par dagar:

Carl Oscar Bohlin som inte vågar gå hem.
Ulf Kristersson som blir hysterisk när en kvinna svimmar.
Gretas crew som skriker, gråter och skyller på Israel när deras extra batteri fattar eld.

Svimning

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 18:51:02 +0200

Här är en tidslinje från presskonferensen där Lann svimmade

-3 sek : Lann inleder sin svimning.
-2 sek : Lanns huvud faller åt sidan. Bush dricker vatten. Kristersson stirrar i sina papper.
0 sek : Lann lutar mot podiet. Bush dricker vatten men märker att något sker.
1 sek : Lann faller mot podiet. Bush är redan i rörelse, släpper vattenglaset och är på väg.
2 sek : Lann går i golvet. Bush har handen ute för att hjälpa. Nu har även Kristersson noterat något och höjer handen meningslöst i luften och ser skräckslagen ut.
3 sek : Bush har fått tag i Lanns fot men korrigerar omedelbart för att komma ner på nivå. Kristersson står bredbent och gör ansikten.
4 sek : Forsmed tar sig på näsan och sidsteppar för att lämna scenen. Bush är nere på huk vid Lann, väl medveten om var hon har sina fötter, kliver hon över något. Kristersson står som en sprattel-August och gör meningslösa gester med vansinnig mimik.
5 sek : Bush vänder Lann. Kristersson rättar till slipsen.
7 sek : Bush justerar Lanns ben. Kristersson har precis släppt slipsen och återgått till att stå med armar och ben i alla riktningar.
8 sek : Ytterligare en kvinna är framme för att hjälpa till.. nere på golvet, där det händer. Kristersson står och hjälper till i luften en bit bort.
12 sek : Kristersson har precis försökt leka datten, men ångrat sig och återgår till stående samtidigt som han retirerar.
13 sek : Kristersson tar ytterligare ett sidstepp bort från alltsammans.

En sekund efter att Bush noterat något var hon i aktion. Det är imponerande. Det fanns andra på plats som inte imponerade särskilt.

Nostalgi

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 10:28:10 +0200

När man återvänder till någonting på grund av en nostalgisk känsla.. blir det inte bra.

Jag hade nostalgiska känslor kring “Egen rymddräkt finnes” / “Have Spacesuit - Will Travel” av Heinlein. Likaså hade jag nostalgiska känslor kring bokserien “Dunder & Brak” av Hans-Eric Hellberg.

Det blir inte bra att läsa om en del saker.

Det beror ju helt och hållet på om nostalgi är en bra känsla. Det är en bitterljuv känsla. Den gör lite ont.. men det onda känns lite bra. Det är en ganska komplicerad känsla.

Saw the clip with the “Karen stealing Home Run Ball from Birthday Boy”. GatewayPundit

The father looks kind of acting. He definitely takes the ball while the woman tries to grab it. He sorts of acts surprised when she confronts him.. and overdo it. Even the hug he gives his kid when he arrives with the ball looks fake and contrived.

On the other hand: a ball up there is ‘game on’. If you where just to grab it and someone else beat you to it.. you lost it. It’s not yours until you secured it.

Blackjack

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 22:03:18 +0200

Was looking through old code and found a ‘deck of card’ thing I did once.
To revisit and revise:

I made classes for Deck and Collections. That wasn’t a good idea.
I never will use the Deck-class for anything other than to give a fresh, shuffled deck of cards.

I think this is better:

module Deck
  Suites = 'SDCH'.chars
  Cards = [:A].concat([*2..10]).concat(%i(J Q K))
  Deck = Suites.product(Cards)

  def self.deck = Deck.shuffle
end

class Shoe
  def initialize(decks=1)
    @shoe = [].tap {|ar| decks.times { ar.concat(Deck.deck) } }
  end

  def deal(cards=1)
    abort('Not enough cards') if cards > @shoe.size
    
    # just print it here
    cards.times { p @shoe.pop }   
  end

end

This is good enough for the basics. You can set up a Shoe of decks with:

Sequel_and_pattern_matching

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 22:01:48 +0200

Just a small example. The program takes arguments --insert, --delete and --list.

It connects to a sqlite database with three fields: id, title and text.

The Ratz thing is my module for user arguments.. one could use slop, optimist-xl or rationalist instead (or check ARGV one-self).

The case in is the pattern-matching.. if user argument hash has certain keys.. it performs certain actions.

To be usable, this code should perform more checks; allow searches; list with filter; adding tags to notes.. and more.

Nonblock_keyboard_map

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 17:33:42 +0200

The gem keyboard_map is used to translate keyboard sequences to keys and key-names.

If you choose to capture keyboard non-blocking.. you either import some curses library or tty-reader. Or you will have to spend a lot of time translating the received sequences.

How many chars? Two? Three? Is the first one Escape ("\e")? Is the second “[”? Is the second a printable char or a control char? Translate “^v” to “k”.

Comments

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 10:45:07 +0200

There are basically two ways of commenting in ruby:

# This is a comment

str = 'hello' # this is a string
p str     # now string
  .chars  # now array

=begin
this is not parsed as code
until we reach the..
=end

You can use strings as comments, if you don’t mind creating string instances.

"This is a number
and it's 37"
a = 37

If you want comments or notes in the middle of instructions…
NOT breaking lines…
you can use tap or this:

I en annan bok ska trollen rädda skogen som är utsatt för klimatpåverkan.

En tredje bok handlar om en flicka som är “bra ändå” fast hon har TVÅ mammor.

Tre böcker - mer eller mindre utvalda på måfå.. så får man det här resultatet. Vad håller biblioteken på med?

.. using some helper-functions.

require "./robot"

  def web? = ( look() == Web )
  def stone? = ( look() == Rock )
  def door? = ( look() == Exit )
  def wall? = ( look() == Wall )

  def l = left
  def r = right
  def l2 = 2.times { left }
  def r2 = l2

  def fw = forward
  def ffw = ( forward while void? )

  def ex = escape

  def hold(&bl)

First is ‘Message to Mary’ with new lyrics. The other is mine.

Här är också Kjerstin och romerna från 11/11 2024.

Det var nå'n som sett Kjerstin
på ett fik nerí Göteborg.
Hon var gul omkring munnen
av ägg ifrån samma korg.
Hon spela' bräde me' gubbarna
om en öl och en stängningsdans.
Å hon sa' att hon jobba' me' data å sånt, å
ölen - de' va' elefant..
Men hon drack den, liksom elegant.

Kjerstin har köpt godis.
Hon har köpt sig karamell.
Här kommer hon som Candyman
me' en strut så go' och gräll.
De' finns remmar; de' finns drops;
fudge; knäck.. och hon har flarn.
Hon har inte var't så lycklig
sedan hon var litet barn.
Lilla Kjerstin är så lyckli' me' sin strut.
Säg 'adjö' till Kjerstin, nu är sången slut.

Vad gör Kjerstin ner' vid Zinkensdam
med kamera på stativ?
Jo, hon jobbar på en dokumentär om romers liv.
Hon har en keps, som Stefan Jarl, och de'
blåser från Hornstull.
De' e' slaskigt å moddigt.. å Kjerstin far omkull.
På kameran har nå'n plastgrej som ska var där
flugit av.
Och linsen sitter snett och vill ej zooma som den ska.
Nej, de' blir ingen film. Det blev slap-stick och skit.
Å i en pöl av lorti't vatten ligger kepsen, som var vit.
Samma väg går alltihopa: kamera å stativ.
Fan ta romerna! Å fan ta deras liv!

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 19:05:15 +0200

Not sure what’s the best method is to determine if a script is running under bash or if it’s vim (for example) that is the caller.

The reason is: I have F9 bound to run my ruby scripts from inside vim/nvim (or nvchad). Some things are not great running inside an editor (or the limited terminal they provide).. say ncurses for example.

name = `ps -p #{Process::ppid} -o fname=`.chomp
#           or $PPID (ENV)

# from inside nvchad, name is 'nvim'
# from terminal, name is 'bash'

I was really trying to like Jekyll and move from Hugo.. but instead I have to deal with deprecation warnings.

Kommer_ni_ihåg

Kommer ni ihåg debatten runt och inför “Hets mot folkgrupp”-lagstiftningen? Den skulle absolut inte innebära begränsningar i yttrandefriheten. Den skulle skydda samer mot hat.

Sedan dess har ludd-ordet “hets” kommit att innebära inte bara en aktiv handling eller ett upprop. Det inbegriper nu “sårandet av andras känslor”. Man har dessutom omvändt bevisföringen så att den som anklagas måste bevisa sig oskyldig, snarare än att staten (åklagare / polis) måste påpeka och bevisa brottet.

About 2010 I decided to watch every Ripley-movie I could find.. among them: Ripleys Game (from 2002) and Ripley Under Ground (from 2005). I also re-read the complete book-series.

There was also some quite good BBC-radio theatre adaptations. I always felt that Richmal Cromptons William is the boy who grew up to be Ripley.

The_updates

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 10:25:17 +0200

For a while now.. Every browser is updating with fixes several times a week. It’s unusual.

Annoyance

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 10:22:15 +0200

Annoyance, frustration, irritation, anger, rage.. it’s a spiral you create. A fly can annoy you. You swipe at it.. and it comes back again and again. It frustrates you and the frustration creates irritation. Irritation is an itch. You can’t get rid of that fly. It comes again and again. You hate it!

Now you’re angry.. and start swinging your arms.. and you overturn the glass of cold lemonade you sat down to enjoy. Now you’re in rage!

Tomorrow

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 21:35:23 +0200

Tariff_war

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 17:31:36 +0200

When EU now is talking about responding to the US tariffs by tariffing US products “up to 72 billion euro”.. It’s like a man on death-row threatening to hold hos breath.

If EU is gonna take hurt by US tariffs.. why is the remedy to create more self-hurt?

And if the EU countries NOT gonna buy cars, electronics, machines and wine from US.. where will they buy it instead. Are the EU population gonna start drinking Armenian Chablis? Drive Tuk-Tuk? Replace IBM with some BBC-Basic flat-file data soultion. Yeah! That will teach’em!

Programming_styles

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 11:38:33 +0200

I have come to some conclusions. One thing that triggered that is ‘Wez Furlong’.. the creator and maintainer of Wezterm.

He talks alot about what something “should be”. By that I understand that he has interaction defined.

You can really mess code up by giving a method or class to wide of a responsibility.

It’s very easy to do if you program as you think. You add.. you get into a problem.. you change something there.. it works.

People

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 11:18:02 +0200

Did you ever hear of Avoidance Personality Disorder?

The subject is neurotic about how he/she is perceived. The most important thing becomes ‘perception’.

I actually know a couple of people like that.

You heard the fable about the Fox; the Stork and the grapes.
In some versions the grapes are in a urn and the fox can’t get to ’em. In other versions the grapes grow too high on the vine.. and the fox has the same problem.

Youtube_and_reality

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 11:13:20 +0200

Youtube will make you think something is really “ON” and “HOT”.. it’s the “TALK OF THE TOWN”.

Let’s take Zellij.. a lot of talk. Then you go to the GitHub page.. and it’s.. sort of DEAD.

Like: One new discussion thread every second or third day.

Subscribing

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 11:19:40 +0200

If you subscribe to a service.. do NOT make the renewal automatic. Because, what will happen, is they will increase the price and charge you.

I used a VPN. It came with two years and over 80% off.

They wanted me to renew. No. Then came the mails:

mail1: We will give you 20% off.
mail2: We will give you 40% off.
Yesterday, they offer me over 80% off.

Same thing is going to happen with my web-space provider. Right now they are asking me to click the auto-renewal so I don’t “loose all my work”. Like they’d care.

Föraning

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 11:00:11 +0200

Jag har en känsla av att vi kommer att se något hända Gustav Boëthius. En så’n där konstig grej där någon bara kastar sig från en balkong; eller ett rån som går snett; eller en bil som råkar komma upp på trottoaren.

Creating_fixing

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 21:31:42 +0200

I create. I do not fix.

Give me something broken.. and I’d love to try and fix it. Most certainly, I will fail. It’s a fifty-fifty based on what I choose to take on. (because I only take on what I think I can fix.. 90% i dismiss and half of the rest, I can’t.)

But in creation.. you DON’T GO BACK! YOU DON’T REFINE!

(well. you do go back and you do refine.. because you learned something that will make you a better creator the NEXT TIME.)

Wezterm

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 13:23:32 +0200

I came across Wezterm when I was looking for my preferred terminal emulator.. for a while I thought it was Kitty.. then Terminator. For a long time I used nothing but Alacritty.

I never caught on to the fact that Wezterm is a terminal emulator and a multiplexer.

It looks butt-ugly when you first run it.. and the default keys are no good. But since it’s so simple to configure.. you will soon have it look and work the way you want.

The_stupid_learning_experience

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 10:43:00 +0200

I wanted a new Array method.. maybe included in Enumerable. Maybe I could use some c-lib later and make it really fast. I wanted unique?.

So set upon this task I was.. that I made myself blind for the existing count-command. Sure, I knew about count.. but right then.. it sort of stopped existing.

In hindsight, I was the guy taking the bike to the hardware store for tools to invent the wheel.

Stupid_youtube

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 19:12:28 +0200

..or maybe stupid me. When I saw stuff like ‘The tmux-killer!’; ‘The tmux alternative.. first impressions’.. I tried it.

And within a week I had the TV-shop regrets. Sure.. it can slice and dice. It can even make fancy spirals from potato. But it’s NOT THAT GREAT. It’s a.. half-baked demo.

What you get is tabs, panes in layouts. You can bind keys to a limited set of commands (not guaranteed to run in any particular order). You got a template system for layouts that forces you to rewrite the templates for every layout (templates can’t be imported). Key ‘r’ renames tab i Tab-mode (Ctrl-t). To rename a Pane, you go to Pane-mode (Ctrl-p) and type ‘c’.. because ‘r’ is busy meaning: Create Pane to the ‘right’.

Fake_schism

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 18:34:10 +0200

What does the fake schism with Musk and Tucker mean? What would talks about a “new party” lead to? Why is the GLARING 1 min 2 sec missing from tape? How would the public react to Patel and Bongino if more “strangeness” would be dished out? And as candy-floss on the goat: why the Nobel Peace Prize nomination?

And remember! Saying ‘Epstein did not…’ is not the same as saying: ‘No client list or blackmailing occured’.

Refuse_nil

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 18:07:32 +0200

I’m seriously thinking about a refinement for Hash and Struct.. maybe more.. refusing nil as a value.

I don’t think ’nil’ is a value that should be deliberately set. It should be an internal value, indicating ’not defined'.

  hsh = {name: 'Olle', age: 12}

  # and let's say every user should have hobbies.
  # But since Olle doesn't have a hobby: set it to nil.

  hsh[:hobbies] = nil

  # now you don't know if the key is missing.. or the value is an actual nil.
  # You would have to double-check:
  hsh.key?(:hobbies) && hsh[:hobbies]

  # Same with Struct.
  # Data = Struct.new(:id, :name, :model)
  # item = Data.new
  # item nwo has id: nil, name:nil and model: nil

What if I need a NO_VALUE_INDICATOR or a DEFAULT_INDICATOR? Answer: Write them. Or use ‘false’, .zero?, .empty? .blank? Do not use ’nil’.

Explaining_away

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 12:03:06 +0200

The wars that was supposed to explain away the hidden tax called “inflation”.. didn’t work out as planned. So now, the WEATHER is to blame.

How_to_sort_out_bad_books

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 20:07:59 +0200

The first thing I do when I hear about a book is going to goodreads and look at the synopsis. If FBI or CIA is mentioned, I don’t bother. If the book is part #4 in the series of Detective X, I don’t bother. If the word serial-killer is mentioned, I don’t bother.

If the book seems to be about one person taking on the entire police-force and maffia.. I look elsewhere.

Zellij_rethink

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 19:39:49 +0200

I’ve been using zellij now for about a week. And I really think the project would benefit from a restart. Continuing with what is now.. would only cement the bad ideas and the bad choices.

What should be done is making actions usable. And stop mixing kebab-case; snake_case and PascalCase.

What is the real difference between a layout and a tab? None.

Det_vackra

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 20:51:35 +0200

Det vackra är ofta det fula.
Tanken bakom är vacker.. men i realitet och utförande blir det fult.

Exempel:

Tänk om det inte fanns betyg i skolan. Om alla bara fick ‘5’ eller ‘MVG’. Då skulle PRESSEN på eleverna försvinna. ALLA skulle ha SAMMA CHANS på arbetsmarknaden. Vi skulle alla vara LIKA MYCKET VÄRDA!!!

Vad fint det låter. Skulle det fungera?

Tänk om inga gränser fanns.. om GLADA människor skuttade runt i världen och HJÄLPTE varandra där det behövdes.

Filter

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 20:12:09 +0200

Sometimes you want to do a .select + .reject.
some_array.select { cond1 }.reject { cond2 }`

Or filter:
some_array.filter { cond1 && !cond2 }

Cond = Struct.new(:meth, :arr)

def filter(ar,
           sel: Cond.new(:all?, [proc {true}]),
           rej: Cond.new(:all?, [proc {false}])
          )

  ar.filter {|*n|
    sel.arr.map {it.(*n)}.send(sel.meth) &&
      !rej.arr.map {it.(*n)}.send(rej.meth)
  }
end


# test it

ar = [*1..100] # some data

# some rules
sel = [
        proc { [3,7,11].include?(it) },
        proc { (12..14) === it }
      ]

rej = [
        proc { it.odd? },
        proc { it > 7 }
      ]

s,r = Cond.new(:any?, sel), Cond.new(:all?, rej)


# ..and the call

p filter [*1..100], sel: s, rej: r # [3, 7, 12, 14]

:all? :none? :one? :any? is supposed to be used in the Struct - (but anything goes.. no check.)

Nota_bene

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 18:58:07 +0200

One of my most used applications is the ’nb’ (nota-bene) for note-taking.

It’s entirely written in Bash and maintained by William Melody.

It handles encryption, filtering, pinning, searching, tagging, markdown, inline images, todo, task, global and local notes, bookmarks, folders (groups and sub-groups), color-themes, plugins…

Sd_skam

Tydligen har Åkesson skämts så mycket över sitt partis historia att han haft svårt att sova.

Mattias Karlsson är “känslomässigt påverkad” och “äcklad” och kommer förmodligen att behöva gå i någon form av terapi.

En vaktmästare som jobbat på SD:s kansli i Uddevalla är även han drabbad och har fått så sura uppstötningar att det påverkat hans jobb.

Samtidigt ger Bert Karlsson ut en vitbok på eget förlag där han redogör för hur han inte skäms alls medan Ian Wachtmeister “skämdes något oerhört”.

Terminal

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 21:24:00 +0200

alacritty Link to heading

My alacritty.toml has a section:

[window]
dimensions = { columns = 100, lines = 60 }
position { x = 0, y = 0 }

Finding the columns and lines is no more complicated than positioning your terminal window the way you want it and type stty size. Those are the numbers to use.

Check you x and y with xwininfo. I like my terminal at (0,0).

ADDITION (06-24:20:14)

Looking at an interview with Aram (the creator/maintainor of Zellij).. and he says his vision with Zellije is to make the underrated terminal a workspace.

The interview is here.

As long as that doesn’t mean to have the mouse interfer with the terminal, I support that vision.

(I think Aram might have grown up in Sweden… I thought I heard an involuntary ’liksom’ when he was talking.)

Serialize_procs

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 23:12:00 +0200

I wanted to store Procs in my YAML serializer.

require 'mw_store.rb'

# DONE and WORKING

class Plock < Proc
  attr_reader :str
  def initialize(str) = ( @str = str )
  def self.new(str, &bl) = ( super(str, &eval("proc {#{str}}")) )
end


class ProcString

  def initialize
    @store = MwStore.() # YAML serializer
    @data = {}
  end

  def []=(name, str)
    @data[name] = Plock.new(str)
  end

  def [](name)
    @data[name] if @data.key?(name)
  end

  def save(filename)
    @store.store['data'] = @data.transform_values {|v| v = v.str }
    @store.save(filename)
  end

  def load(filename)
    @store.load(filename)
    @data = @store.fetch['data'].transform_values {|v| Plock.new(v) }    
  end

end


# test

ps = ProcString.new

ps[:double] = 'it * 2'

p ps[:double].(5) # => 10
p ps[:double].str # => "it * 2"

ps[:uc] = 'it.upcase'

ps.save 'test.data'


again = ProcString.new
again.load 'test.data'

p again[:uc].('titteli-ture!') # => "TITTELI-TURE!"

p again[:uc].str # => "it.upcase"

Something_to_read

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 17:45:11 +0200

I’m about to finish Chasing the Boogeyman by the Stephen King super-fan Richard Chizmar. A great deal better than what I’ve read by him so far.

Also found K.A. Slater and enjoyed The Marriage. About to begin Liar and The Waitress.

Finally found The Troop by Nick Cutter. Not a bad horror story.

När jag var barn, var biblioteket en magisk plats. Där fanns särskilda regler.. men där fanns också BÖCKER.

Jag mötte först biblioteket via bokbussen. Det var en riktig buss.. PROPPAD med böcker.

NU Link to heading

Biblioteket är rätt vidirigt. Vänder sig till mest till extremvänster och invandrare. Du har inte en chans att hitta Jan Myrdal eller Strindberg. Du får välja mellan Läckberg, Lapidus och någon av fjantarna som gravskändar Millennium-triologin.

I imagine a little Trump-like boy on a small bicycle. He is cycling away from us. The bike is equipped with two support-wheels. One has come off and is lying by the roadside. It is labeled ‘ELON’. The other, remaining, support-wheel is wobbling and will come off any minute. It is labled ‘TUCKER’.

The obese boy has a red cap with a propeller mounted and the bike has a bright orange, triangular flag marked ‘MAGA’.

Strange_ruby

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 19:35:56 +0200

Some things are weird with Ruby…

hash = {name: 'Olle', age: 12}
struct = Struct.new(:name, :age).new('Olle', 12)

p hash.name rescue 'NoMethodError'
p hash[:name] # => "Olle"

p struct.name # => "Olle"
p struct[:name] # => "Olle"

p hash[:color] # => nil
p struct.color rescue 'NoMethodError'

p hash.key?(:name) # => true
p hash.member?(:name) # => true
# So, in a Hash member? is alias for key?

# Struct do not have the method .key?
p struct.key?(:name) rescue 'NoMethodError'

# It has the method .member?
p struct.member?(:name) # => false

# And the struct method .member? check the values.. not the keys. 
p struct.values # => ["Olle", 12]
p struct.member?('Olle') # => true

# If you want to see the members.. just use .members
# (but do not check if a member is present with .member?)
p struct.members # => [:name, :age]

# Is this how we are supposed to check if a member (key) is present?
p struct.members.include?(:name) # => true

p '-'*80

# A Struct must be checked like this
p begin
  struct.surpuppa
rescue NoMethodError
  # will return nil
end # => nil

# or like this

p struct.surpuppa if struct.members.include?(:surpuppa) # no output

p local_variables # => [:hash, :struct, :kossa]
if 13 == 100
  kossa = 'mu'
end

# local variable kossa is created and set to nil just being mentioned
# inside a conditional (false) block.
p my_unassigned_variable rescue 'NameError'
p kossa # => nil

Etniskt_och_klassmässigt_segregerat

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 14:02:27 +0200

Tydligen har Magdalena Andersson undrat om en reporter från Aftonbladet menar att vi svenskar ska leva “etniskt och klassmässigt segregerat” då reportern hade frågor om Socialdemokraternas planer för det som ibland kallats “tvångsintegrering”.

Jag har under mitt liv aldrig hört talas om att ungar från Jordbro och Vällingby skulle få radhus på Ekerö eller en bostadsrätt på Östermalm.

Ruby_typed_methods

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 20:06:46 +0200

I got a little jealous of Raku’s typed methods.. so I spent half-an-hour writing this:

class Typed

  def initialize = ( @data, @leg = Struct.new(:type, :prc), {} )
  def define(&bl) = ( instance_exec(&bl) if bl )

  private
  def →(main, sub, tp, prc)
    @leg[sub] = @data.new(tp, prc)
    @leg.key?(main) ? (@leg[main] << sub) : (@leg[main] = [sub]) 
  end

  def method_missing(name, *args, **kwargs)
    @leg[name].map { @leg[it] }.select { it.type == args.map(&:class) }.tap {
      it.empty? ? nil : it.first.prc.(*args, **kwargs)
    }
  end
end


# usage:

tp = Typed.new

tp.define {
  → :add, :add_int, [Integer, Integer], proc {|a,b| puts "Sum: #{a+b}" }
  → :add, :add_str, [String, String],   proc {|a,b| puts "Str: #{a} #{b}" }
}


tp.add(3, 7) #          Sum: 10
tp.add('ior', 'åsna') # Str: ior åsna
tp.add(3, 'olle')

I haven’t even tested it for real.. and there are things that are very ‘prototype solution’.

Bye_raku

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 17:42:36 +0200

It’s been.. fun.. and sometimes annoying trying to get to know Raku (Perl6). After finding no benefit at all in using Raku over Ruby.. I’ve decided to dump Raku altogether.

The only two things I found that makes Raku worthwhile is the ease of defining operators.. and the rather cool topic variable.

Actually.. one more thing is nice with Raku: It works both typed and untyped.. I sometimes wish Ruby could adopt that. Would be nice with methods, procs, lambdas and conditions.

Epstein_death

A_gullibles_travels

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 18:52:57 +0200

I was gullible. I am still. My former self thought the ‘state’ was protecting its citizens; that the police was chasing criminals; that banks kept your money; that the judges protected the law; that the journalists reported the truth; that the doctors tried to heal people.

I thought the map showed my country; the history books told the past.

I am not gullible in that way any more.

The lure is not to be ‘gullible-version-2’.

Immunity_lost

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 17:33:34 +0200

Let’s say you have a environmental activist that is also a child. She’s put in front of the public and whatever she says is gospel according to the ‘media’. No one can criticize her.. “because she’s only a child”.

Let’s say she’s now 22 or 23. The child-immunity is no longer valid. But she has another card: The retarded-card! You can’t really mock or even criticise someone retarded.

Question: do the subject want to wear the ‘retarded-protection’? It has implications.

Seems like the word finally got through to the LA rioters that has been waving foreign flags for days while burning cars; attacking police; setting of explosions and throwing stones at vehicles.

Someone now paid for the distribution of American flags. It will look better when CNN and MSNBC is pretending to report on the “peaceful protests”.

Ruby_indices

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 21:48:48 +0200

I thought Ruby Strings also needed the Raku indices method.

class String
  def indices(m, overlap: false)
    [].tap {|ar|
      overlap ?
        ( self.scan(/(?=(#{m.to_s}))/) { ar << $~.offset(0)[0] } ) :
        ( self.scan(m) { ar << $~.offset(0)[0] } )
    }
  end
end

p 'banana'.indices 'a' # [1, 3, 5]

p 'banana'.indices /a/ # [1, 3, 5]

p 'dadad'.indices 'dad', overlap: true # [0, 2]

p 'dadad'.indices /dad/, overlap: true # [0, 2]

It returns an Array of all indexes where matching occurred.
Also do overlapping matches.. with overlap: true.

Raku_topic_var

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 20:24:28 +0200

I like the default variable $_.. the ‘Topic variable’.

.say for <olle nisse janne pelle kalle>;

for enumerates through the list. Every element in order is assigned to $_. The empty .say is interpreted as $_.say. In Ruby it would be the same as not having to type it.

%w(olle nisse janne pelle kalle).each { puts }

You can do something similar in Ruby:

class String
  def say = ( puts self )
end

%w(olle nisse janne pelle kalle).map(&:say)

Going_raku

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 11:57:45 +0200

I fell upon raku yesterday. I never looked into perl for real.. found it a bit whimsey.

But it’s often not the language that is confusing.. or ‘off’ - it’s your preparedness.. your ability to read it. I discovered Ruby through another language.. and after using Ruby for some time.. I am able to appreciate raku when I see it.

I will have to use both Ruby and Raku simultaneously. When I focus on one language only.. the other fades away and finally disappears. This happened for me when I stopped coding in Nim and instead only used Ruby.

Array_block

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 13:13:49 +0200

class Array
  def [](key, &bl)
    self.assoc(key).then {|px|
      bl ? px.nil? ? self << [key, bl] : px << bl : px.drop(1).map(&:call)
    }
  end
end

ar = []

name = 'Carl'
age = 14

ar[:rune] { name }
ar[:rune] { age }

p ar[:rune] # => ["Carl", 14]

name = 'Karl'; age = 12
p ar[:rune] # => ["Karl", 12]

Elon_vs_trump

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 12:32:43 +0200

I can’t see this public distancing as anything else but a way to put Elon back in the position he had before he got involved in DOGE. It must be made clear that Elon has no ties or involvement with the Trump administration.

It would otherwise be impossible for him to run business. The press would suggest he got sweat deals and special consideration.

Two books.. one good. One bad.

Try them both and find out which is what.

Sender

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:43:34 +0200

A rather pointless little program.. just playing and testing.

class Enumerator
  alias :e :each
end

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# hash of send-array containing args
c = {
  op: [:puts, :self], #     OutPut  => puts str
  uc: [:self, :upcase], #   UpCase  => str.upcase
  en: [:self, :to_enum], #  Enum    => ar.to_enum
}

c.instance_exec {
  def →(cmd, *args)
    (self[cmd][0] == :self) ?
      args[0].send(self[cmd][1]) :
      send(self[cmd][0], *args)
  end
}

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# hash of procs
» = {
  puc: proc {|str| c.→(:op, c.→(:uc, str)) },  #  puts UPCASE
  en: proc {|ar| c.→(:en, ar) }, #                return Enumerator
}

».instance_exec {
  def method_missing(key, *args)
    self.key?(key) ? self[key][*args] : super
  end
}

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# example call
».en([*1..5]).e { ».puc("hej: #{it}") }

# => output
# HEJ: 1
# HEJ: 2
# HEJ: 3
# HEJ: 4
# HEJ: 5

Russia

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 18:05:13 +0200

Question: Why do Russia want to appear weakened?

Suggestions:

A big offensive would be more understandable.
Project Ukraine as aggressor during peace-talks.
Prolong the fake-war to set up for the real one.

Code_today

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 20:54:21 +0200

Today I’ve been doing this:

# Let's say you have this data from an
# external command. You want to collect it.
out = <<-OUT

Width: 300
Height: 500
PosX: 40
PosY: 35

Modules in use: one, two, five
Process ID: 33178

OUT

p out.lines(chomp: true).reject { it[/^\s*$/] }.map { it.split(': ')
  .then {|k,v| [k.tr(' ',''), (Integer(v) rescue v)]}}.to_h

# {
#   "Width" => 300,
#   "Height" => 500,
#   "PosX" => 40,
#   "PosY" => 35,
#   "Modulesinuse" => "one, two, five",
#   "ProcessID" => 33178
# }



# another way
p out.lines(chomp: true).inject({}) {|h,ln|
  h[$1.tr(' ', '')] = (Integer($2) rescue $2) if ln[/^([^:]+): (.*)$/]; h
}

# {
#   "Width" => 300,
#   "Height" => 500,
#   "PosX" => 40,
#   "PosY" => 35,
#   "Modulesinuse" => "one, two, five",
#   "ProcessID" => 33178
# }

Then I started looking at the method grep.
I found arr.grep(Integer).grep(2..6) ugly. I wanted multi-grep or mgrep.

Firefox_do_not_track

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 13:39:04 +0200

It looks like Firefox no longer “support” the do_not_track request. The result of that was immediately noticeable on Youtube.. that started pushing clips depending on what has been viewed.

If I spend ten minutes searching for an audiobook.. and then watch ‘Beard-Meets-Food’ - I don’t want every search after that to include tips on audiobooks and gluttony.

Switched to Brave. Also using Vivaldi, Nyxt and qutebrowser.

Braille

Sat, 31 May 2025 19:49:49 +0200

The Unicode Braille alphabet gives us an opportunity to set pixels in terminal. A Braille character is a 2x4 grid of dots.

The Drawille library takes care of that. I think it was originally written for Python.. but now there are versions for many programming languages.. including Ruby.

One of the examples shows how to convert an image to a stencil, using chunky_png.

So I wrote some short code to create a PNG-image with whatever text is comming from ARGV. Then ChunkyPNG walks the pixels and creates a Drawille Canvas.

Fibers_threads

Fri, 30 May 2025 11:28:28 +0200

What I’m writing is my guess and understanding. Not the facts.. because I don’t know the facts right now. I’m investigating.

Let’s say you want to do some animation in a terminal. This would use ANSI escape codes to position the cursor and print a character. Then wait a bit and put the next character in the animation on the same position.

And you try to fork it. Suddenly you have no control over the setting of position and the printing of characters. Anything can be interrupted at any time.

Baby_let_me_follow_you_down

Tue, 27 May 2025 20:47:20 +0200

How long does it take to infiltrate and then destroy a society?

Well, it depends.. but you would have to:

turn the society into dependence
make the society more and more vulnerable
introduce your own people into power (low)
split the society into groups
you would need a ‘main event’ that hold people together…
..to destroy it and leave people lost.
promote your own people (high)
perversion of language.. so that no solution can be found.
more sub-groups and a ‘blame game’.

Now you’re on a good start. But you are not there.
How long would this take?

It_was_twenty_years_ago_today

Tue, 20 May 2025 19:48:14 +0200

I missed this when it happened:

Just saw Michael Richards freak out on a comedy club, calling people ’niggers'.

Then I saw Jerry with Letterman where Michael was to apologize.

It felt like a perfect Andy Kaufman act.. until Jerry and Michael made it clear it was not.

But, what a comeback for Michael Richards if he had engineered the melt-down and the public shaming.

When Letterman asked him: “Is there anything else you would like to do.. to remedy this situation”, I saw a humorous spark in his eyes. He had a funny answer but decided not to go with it.

Ruby_language

Tue, 20 May 2025 19:05:45 +0200

I love the Ruby language.. not unconditionally. Why must we have method aliases?

If you want to define them yourself.. fine! But Hash#key should not also be Hash#member.

Why are the same method-names used again and again.. like yield.

Why must Data be defined when every other container is just new?

If I write my own Hash-class using Array.. it’s only 3 times slower than Hash. It should be 60 times slower. (just getter, setter using assoc and find_index)

Comey_goes_Hanks

Fri, 16 May 2025 13:28:55 +0200

The restaurant-jargon to ’eighty-six’ a dish.. is to tell the servers the dish can no longer be prepared (and thereby not ordered).

It was a bit weird when Tom Hanks started posting pictures of gloves on streets with chalk-marks written… a single baby-shoe. And now the formed FBI-director is engaging in the same creepy behaviour.

What did he think he was saying with ‘86 47’? Merry Christmas? Make America Great Again? Serve and protect?

Not_coding

Thu, 15 May 2025 21:12:00 +0200

Sometimes it might be better not to code…

  'BE'[n] ? n : [n, "#{n}#/#{n == 'G' ? 'A' : n.next}b"]
}.rotate(3)

p notes

Variables

Wed, 14 May 2025 11:43:12 +0200

I had nothing better to do and started inventing a variable factory from where you can request variables of certain specifics.

I have the obstinate variable, that returns false if you try to set it with the value it already has.

And I have the reluctant variable that don’t use the value you set it to until the next time you ask for the value.

rel.val = 12
p rel.val # => nil
p rel.val # => 12
rel.val = 'olle'
p rel.val # => 12
p rel.val # => 'olle'

The obstinate variable I can see some use for.. but any case I can think of for the reluctant variable is just bad coding.

Midi_messages2

Mon, 12 May 2025 13:20:13 +0200

Re-writing my old midi-event listener. Still using external command aseqdump, but separated the reader and the parser into separate fibers.

Right now only tested on one controller (keystation 49es).. but will make it work with oxygen 25, KORG padKONTROL and Zoom R16.

I will add on event subscription via wisper.

require 'open3'

CLIENT = 'Keystation 49es'

symbolize = ->(str) { str.tr(' ', '_').downcase.to_sym }
hashify   = ->(str) { str.split(',').map { it.split(' ') }
  .map {|k,v| [k.to_sym, v.to_i] }.to_h }


midi = Fiber.new { 
  port = `aseqdump -l`.lines(chomp: true)
    .select { it.include?(CLIENT) }[0]
    .then { it[/(\d+:\d+)/] ? $1 : abort('No such client') }

  wr, rd = Open3.popen2("aseqdump -p #{port}"); wr.close

  while line = rd.gets.chomp; Fiber.yield line end
}


parse = Fiber.new { 
  loop {
    if /(?<event>\w+ \w+).*?\d+, (?<data>.*)$/ =~ midi.resume
      Fiber.yield [symbolize[event], hashify[data]]
    end
  }
}


loop { p parse.resume }

Made some additions…

Three_books

Wed, 07 May 2025 18:16:48 +0200

Three audiobooks I have been listening to recently:

Last Minute Guest by Drew Strickland
The Memory Ward by Jon Bassoff
Furious by T.R. Ragan

Funniest quote: ‘Good morning. You must be Furious.’

Billion

Tue, 06 May 2025 20:29:50 +0200

Counting up to a billion in Python takes (on my computer): 1 minute 10 seconds.

With Ruby it takes: 11.6 seconds.

n = 0
while n < 1000000000:
  n += 1

print n

time python file.py

n = 0
while n < 1000000000
  n += 1
end

print n

time ruby file.rb

fn main() {
  mut n := 0
  for n < 1000000000 {
    n += 1
  }
  println('done ')
}

time ./file

(well.. v did it in: 1.16 secs)

(c did it in 1.39 secs)

Half_of_nothing

Tue, 06 May 2025 18:38:15 +0200

Benchmarking is good and bad. If your program does three things and it takes a tenth of a second.. there’s no point in looking for optimizations.

If code are executed in loops and is called thousands of times.. you should look into optimizing. Or if just a few calls are taking above a second.. there might be a better way.

Or, let’s say you are using Ruby2d and the main loop is called 60 times a second.. How you handle the game logic is going to be noticeable.

X22

Thu, 01 May 2025 21:07:41 +0200

If you where listening to Dave and X22.. you would notice some things:

The story/narrative changes.
The goalpost is moved.
The repeated words and phrases.

If you where to listen to ‘OnThe Fringe’.. you would notice that he uses “Jesus-talk” to stop you from questioning. He is the ‘Teacher of Teachers’.. the ‘Selected one!’.

I hope you are not listening to ‘Charlie Ward’.. or ANYBODY.

The scary shit is: LISTEN TO YOU!!!

Arrays

Thu, 01 May 2025 20:25:22 +0200

I feel Arrays are ‘hiding’ something from me. They are not just a sequence of ’eh!’.

I will figure it out.
using ‘dig’, ‘flatten’ (once), ‘(r)assoc’.. I can make something.. would be fun if that thing was using push/pop (both directions).

Nag_nag_nag

Thu, 01 May 2025 00:01:08 +0200

You have a problem. It’s in advertising. They found a way to steer people and now you are used as pawns. No more ‘buy this or that cigarette or soap’.. now it’s even more sinister.

And it’s not getting better with Trump. He uses the exact same methods.

Move_exchange

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 21:21:00 +0200

Reading help on mv.. I discovered something I didn’t know.

You can swap two files: mv --exchange file1 file2

(I think I even have an old script doing that, using a temp-file :)

Bussolycka_simrishamn

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 07:53:39 +0200

Såg eftermälet av en bilolycka igår.. strax utanför Simrishamn.. vid rastplatsen. EN buss med trasig front och spräckt framruta på vänster sida stod vid vägkanten. Den hade varit på väg ut från Simrishamn. En bit bort stod en bil i diket. Vänster bak var tillknycklad. Vänster sidoplåt mellan dörrarna var tillknycklad. Den stod på snedden.. med fronten mot havet.

Jag kunde inte riktigt se framför mig hur olyckan hade gått till. Mitt första intryck var att bilen - på klassiskt turistmanér - hade svängt ut i vägbanan från rastplatsen. Men det stämde inte med skadorna baktill och på vänster sida.

Grundlagsskydd

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 12:53:19 +0200

Sittande regering försöker nu försvåra eventuella förbättringar av landet Sverige genom att låsa fast grundlagarna och se till att juridisk politisk aktivism får fortsätta gå på tvärs med folkets vilja.

Man anar att det är medborgarskapet man vill låsa.

Linux_boot

Vim_zelenskyy

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 12:29:01 +0200

I don’t want political grocery stores. I don’t want political banks. I don’t want political schampoo.. and I don’t want political software.

Vim.org is now waving Ukrain colors blue and yellow. So, that’s it! No more vim.

Covfefe

Sun, 27 Apr 2025 18:42:25 +0200

Today I heard for the first time of Trumps ‘covfefe’ post.

Since he used ‘constant’ and ’negative’, I want to intepret ‘cov’ as ‘covariance’ and ‘fefe’ as 65278 (or [254, 254]).

Further than that I don’t know..

Wordle

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 13:10:50 +0200

I find the small projects often turn into great learning experiences.

I wanted a wordle filter. Got myself a wordlist of 14k 5-letter words and started writing. And there I was with a semi-complicated regexp checking every line. It worked. It was fast.

Still. I wanted to pre-filter the list using grep. I haven’t used grep more than the very simplest application. Now I had to look into -E, -e, -v and.. buffering?

Martin berättar reglerna: “Jag gillar inte när jag blir hånad utan anledning”.

Rätt anledning att håna Martin Melin kommer att delas ut i brevlådorna lagom till Valborg.

Method_missing_response

end

apa = Apa.new
p apa.methods - Class.methods # => [:koko]
p apa.respond_to?(:koko) # => true

All is great and well. But…

  def method_missing(name, *args)
    %i(schwab frances).include(name) ? (p args) : super
  end
end

apa = Apa.new
p apa.methods - Class.methods # => [:koko, :method_missing]

p apa.respond_to?(:koko) # => true
p apa.respond_to?(:schwab) # => false

Enter ‘respond_to_missing’

class Apa
  def koko
  end

  def method_missing(name, *args)
    %i(schwab frances).include?(name) ? (p args) : super
  end

  def respond_to_missing?(name, include_private = false)
    %i(schwab frances).include?(name)

end

apa = Apa.new
p apa.methods - Class.methods # => [:koko, :method_missing]

p apa.respond_to?(:koko) # => true
p apa.respond_to?(:schwab) # => true

Now respond_to? return true for the method-names that method_missing is handling. The methods will still not appear in the .methods Array, but that can be solved by actually create the methods.

Sweetheart

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:51:51 +0200

On X this clip is gaining momentum because Martha MacCallum is being called “sweetheart”.

I think is more bothering that Randi Weingarten is trying to advance her argument using “some folks” and “people that have been looking at these numbers”. If that’s her level.. case might be closed.

Gängens_finanser

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:27:47 +0200

Varför finns det ingen officiell väg till att läsa äldre svenska tidningar som skattebetalare är med och subventionerar?

Jag vet att man - över nätet - kan läsa vissa inscannade tidningar från 1800-talet via KB (tror jag). Men om du vill veta vad politiker sa om en viss sak för fyra år sedan, får då antingen gå till BackwayMachine eller snällt sätta dig på ett bibliotek och manuellt söka igenom vad biblioteken är villiga att plocka fram (dom begränsar hur många årgångar du får se per dag).

Currying

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 17:45:13 +0200

Often I make a class to just manage a Hash or Hash / Struct combo.
I was thinking: why not just add the methods I need to the object?

H = {}.tap { it.instance_exec {
  @add = proc {|k, *v| self[k] = (v.one? ? v.first : v) }
  def method_missing(k, *v) = ( self.key?(k) ? self[k] : @add.curry(2)[k] )
}}

H.apa[3,11]
p H.apa # => [3, 11]

H.hula['hula']
H.dance[proc {|n| n.times {print H.hula}; puts }]
H.dance[2] # => hulahula

NOTE: Array#one? is not the same as Array#size == 1.. but counts instead ’truthy elements’. So [nil, 0].one? is true. It also takes an argument and a block:

Swapescape

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 22:53:07 +0200

Today is the day where CapsLock and Escape swaps on my keyboard. Not physically, but functionally. I want to use vim-motions more and I think the escape-key in the upper left will make me loose the home-row. I could still anchor my index-finger on F.. but I made this choice.

Also got a vim-motion cheat-sheet and will focus on a few things at a time.. like stop using only ‘i’ for insert-mode.

Computer_mess

Today was a day of computer mishaps: First I couldn’t update, because Mousepad was corrupt. I removed cache and unused repos.. then tried sudo pacman -Syyu. Didn’t work. I uninstalled Mousepad and I could update.

Then the Grub menu was gone and the computer booted straight into Linux. After some research I found that GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE was set to hidden. I set it to menu and ran update-grub.

Still didn’t work.. the menu was back, but my Windows partition was not listed. More reading. I found out I had to have the Windows partition mounted when running update-grub. Now it’s ok.

Hemmings_fallskärm

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 12:19:36 +0200

När man läser om Gustav Hemming och Region Stockholms ovilja att komma med beslut angående hans krav på pension.. låter det som om regionen vill avvakta polisens förundersökning och eventuellt åtal och dom.

Anledningen till det kan vara att regionen ser juridisk möjlighet att neka Hemming pensionen i det fall han döms för brottslighet.

Personligen tycker jag fallskärmar för politiker borde avskaffas. Jag tycker också avgående politiker borde ha en yrkesmässig karantän på tio år efter de lämnat politiken. Jag tycker deras pensioner borde beräknas på samma sätt som för folk i gemen. Slutligen tycker jag brist i god vandel skulle vara skäl för uppsägning av politiker, utan annan ersättning än lön under uppsägningstid (3 månader).

Strscan

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 19:16:50 +0200

Just got acquainted with strscan, and want to create some sort of sub-matching. For now I’ve introduced my variant of groups.

Next I want a trigger that would set off a new group recursively.

But I code as I think and I think as I drink.. so, let’s see. I also have this anti-social-media thing, where I avoid groups, chats, communities and such. I have to figure it out / look it up myself.

Kina_butiker

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 18:20:22 +0200

Det finns en massa butiker och kedjor runtom i Sverige som enbart säljer Kinesisk import. Dollarstore är ett exempel. Bo Olsson i Tomellilla, Skåne ett annat.

Man känner igen dom på billig skit.

Med varumärken som ‘Andersson’ och ‘Havsö’ försöker man få konsumenten att tro att domm shoppar svenskt.

Det verkar också mysko med CE-certifieringen av elvaror. Det finns en vattenkokare som Dollarstore säljer.. som aldrig skulle kunna passera någon form av kontroll. Och den har sålts i flera år.

Women_in_sports

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 13:00:23 +0200

There are some sports where men and women should be able to compete against each other. What about Dart? Chess? Pool?

Sure.. men have usually longer arms and that can benefit them in Pool and Dart.

But why are women always loosing against men.. Regardless of the sport?

I think it’s obvious women can’t compete against men in boxing or running.. but why do women also loose in curling, chess, kite-flying, cooking and sitting-quiet-on-a-chair?

McGreider

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 12:20:11 +0200

Som en protest mot USA:s president, Donald Trump.. har Göran Greider fattat det svåra beslutet att ställa in sina måltider på McDonalds.

För att inte helt missa viktiga bitar i sin kostcirkel, avser nu Greider att istället luncha på en liten korvkiosk.

“Dom har lovat att bjuda på en liten leksak”, avslöjar Greider.

NOTE: McDonalds ägs till 17% av The Vanguard Group och BlackRock. Även JP Morgan har intressen i företaget. Greiders nya lilla korvkiosk ägs till 51% av Huthi-rebeller.

Orka

Skulle köpa lego (duplo) åt min son på Blocket. Den som säljer skriver ‘Jag ska väga klossarna för att se vad det kostar att skicka’. Sedan är det tyst en dag. Så skriver hon: ‘Jag orkar inte skicka paket’.

Hon orkar dock lägga ut tio annonser på blocket och erbjuda frakt med köpskydd. Vad är det för fel på människor?

Facebook_utan_Löfven

Ett Facebook utan Löfvén.. går det ens att föreställa sig? Man ser framför sig hur hela Facebook ställer sig upp som en enarmad bandit och vrålar “Han saknas mig!!!”.

Vart tar glädjen vägen? Hur ska människor kunna hoppas.. när själva symbolen för allt det goda tar sin kanelbulle och går?

Offerspel

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 20:39:05 +0100

Människor verkar älska att spela sina offerspel. Det egna lidandet ska framhävas och kompensation ska utkrävas. Den mask en människa satt på fejset, måste upprätthållas och hyllas. Den som inte hyllar maskeraden, ska dödas.

Och allting handlar om det lilla, lilla egot. Det lilla maskliknande bihanget som kräver ständig matning. Som en gökunge sitter egot och gapar och gapar efter föda.. tränger ut allt annat för att bli ensam kvar.

Code Pad

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 18:36:27 +0100

I saw a code-pad today. Something made me want to try a code.
I pressed four digits without any deeper thought, and the display went green.
I tried to door. It was open.

I let it go and the pad went red.
When I tried the door again, it was locked.

Somehow I managed to guess a combination out of ten-thousand on the first try.

Att_förolämpa_en_snöflinga

Sat, 22 Mar 2025 13:19:36 +0100

Enligt förslag ska det nu bli ett brott att förolämpa en myndighetsperson. En del tänkaer kanske: “Äntligen blir det slut med JA SKA KNOLLA DIN MAMA och liknande”.

Vad man bör beakta är: Vad är en förolämpning? Är det att säga till en polis eller myndighetsperson att det inte verkar veta vad den sysslar med? Att ifrågasätta personens kunskaper? Att kritisera? Är det förolämpande att säga att polisen var bättre förr?

Download_parallel

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 21:13:14 +0100

Let’s say we have a webpage (ipaudio3.club) where you can stream all Stephen Kings books. ANd let’s say you want to download.. not stream.

So, you view the page-source and find out what url is used for the different parts of the book you are interested in.

It’s something like this:
https://ipaudio3.club/wp-content/STEPHEN/<title>01.mp3

and the files are numbered 01 to 14

# first problem
# seq 1 14
# this will give you 1 2 3 4 ... 14

# solution 
seq -f '%02g' 1 14
# will produce 01 02 03 ... 14

# second problem
# how send these numbers to curl?

# solution: use `xargs`

# url is your URL
seq -f '%02g' 1 14 | xargs -I{} -n1 -P0 curl '<url>/{}.mp3' --output '{}.mp3'

# This will download the files 01-14 and save them as 01.mp3 02.mp3 and so on.
# It will be done in parallel.

-I{} will set {} to a variable, holding the input (the numbers). You can then use the same marker {} to insert the value.

Bob_dylan

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 21:34:20 +0100

Today: the songs I still like from Bob Dylan are:

some from Highway
more from Blonde
even more from Wesley
most of New Morning
all of Pat Garrett
one from Planet
all from Blood
all from Basement
all from Desire
one from Street Legal
all from Slow Train
none from Saved, Shot, Infidels or Burlesque
none from Knocked Out or Down in the Groove
Stopped listening

I always HEARD Dylan (since infancy).. but started buying, hunting and listening 1983, when I was fifteen years old.

Kafka_feels

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 18:52:22 +0100

When you are young and read Kafka.. you think: ‘Wow! Here is this morally superior being.. feeling EVERYWHERE! He must be right about everything.. because he feels it.’

And you get older. You read his diary.. and his letters (most famously to his father and his fiancé). And you still think he’s honest and true. Everything he says is based on what he feel.

And you get older.. and start to hear something else: a man who complains a lot. He doesn’t want this and this. It doesn’t feel right. He wants to marry.. then he doesn’t. He want’s to write.. but dare not. He want’s to suffer alone but needs the audience. He can’t stand up to his father.

Vackra_drömmar

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 18:16:49 +0100

Man kan ha vackra drömmar. Låt säga att man drömmer om en värld i fred; en värld utan gränser där människor delar det dom har med dom som inte har; en värld där man inte erkänner ord som ‘brott’ och ‘brottsling’ utan där alla är människor och världsmedborgare.

För att testa sin dröm och om den går att omsätta i praktik, kan man ju börja med sig själv och sitt eget hem.

Default_proc_struct

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 18:05:37 +0100

The normal behaviour for a Hash is to return nil if you trying to access a key that is not set. Therefore you can check that a key is set by hsh.key?(KEY) or by hsh[KEY]. As mentioned default_proc creates a key-val (or might do any operation) just accessing the hsh[KEY]. So.. puts hsh[:ove] will trigger default_proc and populate the Hash.

In this example I will use default_proc to create a Struct.

Today

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 21:15:01 +0100

For the last 3 hours I’ve been thinking about this:

X = Struct.new(:id, :state, :proc) {
  def initialize(id, state=nil, &bl)
    @id, @state, @proc = id, state, bl
    super
  end

  def call = ( @proc.call if @proc )
  def scope = ( binding )
  # bad rescue
  def method_missing(name) = ( eval name.to_s, state rescue nil )
}



cat = 'Loke'


x = X.new(:apa, binding) { puts 'koko is a %s' % cat }


p x.id # => :apa

# scope
p x.cat  # => "Loke"
x.() # => Koko is a Loke

y = X.new :koko, x.scope
p y.cat # => "Loke"

It’s not the fruits of 3 hours entirely.. I’ve also had to check and feed the furnace; the washing-machine and the dryer; checking some “news”, mail and drinking beer.

Before_he_wakes

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 18:51:21 +0100

Sometimes the things you don’t like has more pathways to explore than the things you do like. I listened to Before He Wakes by Mark Allen Gunnels.. and I didn’t like the book.

Still.. it stays with me. The basement; the rotted floor in the attic; the ’never give up’; the buddhism; the in-your-face DEI-subjects and .. finally: the ending.

I don’t like politics in books.. in fiction. A book is a dream and I don’t want politics in my dream. Stephen King’s Holly was unreadable because of the politics.

Default_proc

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 18:17:58 +0100

I’ve seen this here and there:

hsh = {}
(hsh[:key] ||= []) << data

Also this:

hsh = {}
hsh.key?(:key) ? (hsh[:key] << data) : (hsh[:key] = [data])

But you can define your hash with a default proc

hsh = Hash.new {|h,k| h[k] = [] }
hsh[:key] << data

You can even set the default_proc after the fact..

hsh = {}
hsh.default_proc = proc {|h,k| h[k] = [] }
hsh[:key] << data

Ai_image

I don’t have access to any AI-image manipulation. And I don’t have time to do it manually: but when I saw the Al Green image at GatewayPundit.. I imagined him in Maori Haka face paint and a caption in white at the bottom “PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN YOUR HEART”.

Germany

What’s up with Germany? They just can’t help going nazi.. and having wars. Now they are at it again with Hitler-like laws and full support for nazi-help for Ukraine.

Trust

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:20:46 +0100

Often you see numbers. Numbers like: ‘The support for ’ has dropped’ or ‘The trust for is down to..’

I heard a figure today: ‘The trust for mainstream media is down to 30%’.

Some people would say: ‘But oh! That’s still a great deal of trust.’

You can’t look at it like that. You must realize that the person trusting MM is exposed to seven out of ten people who don’t agree with his viewpoint.

Types2

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:15:31 +0100

Apropos previous post (types).. I tried to write something focusing on types only. And this is it:

module Types
 
  # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
  
  module Typenames
    
    CONSTANTS = [
      NUM     = [Integer, Float, Complex, Rational],
      INT     = Integer,
      DEC     = [Float, Rational],
      STR     = String,
      CHR     = String,
      REX     = Regexp,
      BOOL    = [TrueClass, FalseClass],
      ENUM    = Enumerable,
      NIL     = NilClass
    ]
  
    class Unset; end

  end

  # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

  class Tp
    attr_reader :vars

    def initialize
      @vars = {}
      @data = Struct.new(:value, :classes, :to, :args)
    end

    def define(&bl) = ( instance_exec(&bl) if bl )

    def method_missing(name, val = nil)
      name[/^(\w+)=/] ?
        @vars.key?($1.to_sym) ? set($1.to_sym, val) : super :
        @vars.key?(name) ? @vars[name].value : super
    end

    private

    def set(name, val)
      # handle to:
      val = ((to = @vars[name].to) && val.respond_to?(to)) ?
        val.send(to, *@vars[name].args) : val

      @vars[name].classes.map { it === val }.any?(true) ?
        (@vars[name].value = val) :
          abort('TypeError: %s => %s (%s)' % [name, val, val.class])
    end

    def →(key, *cls, to: nil, args: [])
      @vars[key] = @data.new(Unset, cls.flatten, to, args)
    end
  end

end

This is the usage part:

Marco_Rubio_on_negotiations

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:10:47 +0100

I saw Marco Rubio talking about trying to negotiate peace. He was talking to George Stephanopoulus from ABC news.

I can’t wrap my mind around how anyone could even begin to think that the way to bring Russia to the negiotiation-table is by making statements like “We can’t trust the russians”, “They have to give up Krimea”, “Ukrain must have security guarantees before we negotiate”.

And Rubio explains that.. again and again. Like it was hard to understand. And - apparently, for ABC-news - it is hard to understand.

Ruby_types

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:43:40 +0100

I’ve been thinking about type-checking ruby for some time. I know there are gems like sorbet, steep, dry-types. My little home-cooked solution is 35 lines of code. Works like this:

require './mw_vars.rb'

X = Globals::Vars.new

X.rules(:price) {
  rule proc { Integer === it }
  rule proc { it > 0 }
}

X.rules(:range) {
  rule proc { Range === it }
  rule proc { it.first == 1 && it.last <= 100 }
}

X.rules(:label) {
  rule proc { String === it }
}

def data(price, range, label)
  X.price, X.range, X.label = price, range, label
  p 'ok'
end

data 12, (1..50), 'hejsan' # => ok
data 300, (2..22), :hej # => Line: 35, Error value for [range = 2..22 (Range)]

Pretzel_map

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 20:36:36 +0100

What’s the pretzel map?
This is the pretzel (&).. and this is the pretzel map:

[1,2,3,4].map(&:to_s) # => ["1", "2", "3", "4"]

The object (Integer) in this case.. must have the method .to_s.

It’s like: [1,2,3,4].map {|i| i.to_s }

You can add a method to the object and call that:

class Integer
    def ior = 'åsna'
end

p [1,2,3].map(&:ior) # => ["åsna", "åsna", "åsna"]

But it’s not limited to object method calls…

ar = [*1..7]

def koko(x) = (x*2)

monkey = proc {it*2}
apa = :monkey


p ar.map(&method(:koko)) # method
p ar.map(&proc {it*2}) # proc
p ar.map(&monkey) # proc by var
p ar.map(&->{it*2}) # lambda
p ar.map(&eval(apa.to_s)) # proc by eval var

# 5 times => [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14]

Firefox_script

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 12:04:36 +0100

For some firefox bookmarks I set a keyword. For example is the bookmark for gatweaypundit.com :gp. That allows me to type :gp in the address bar to open gatewaypundit.

I found places.sqlite under the .mozilla folder.

sqlite3 places.sqlite  .tables

I get:

moz_anno_attributes                 moz_keywords
moz_annos                           moz_meta
moz_bookmarks                       moz_origins
moz_bookmarks_deleted               moz_places
moz_historyvisits                   moz_places_extra
moz_historyvisits_extra             moz_places_metadata
moz_inputhistory                    moz_places_metadata_search_queries
moz_items_annos                     moz_previews_tombstones

sqlite3 places.sqlite  "PRAGMA table_info(moz_bookmarks)"

gives me:

0|id|INTEGER|0||1
1|type|INTEGER|0||0
2|fk|INTEGER|0|NULL|0
3|parent|INTEGER|0||0
4|position|INTEGER|0||0
5|title|LONGVARCHAR|0||0
6|keyword_id|INTEGER|0||0
7|folder_type|TEXT|0||0
8|dateAdded|INTEGER|0||0
9|lastModified|INTEGER|0||0
10|guid|TEXT|0||0
11|syncStatus|INTEGER|1|0|0
12|syncChangeCounter|INTEGER|1|1|0

I was thinking of making a really small script that - from terminal - takes a keyword; looks it up in the database and then firefox --new-tab <url>.

EU_isolates_from_US

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 11:51:18 +0100

The globalist - WEF-managed, Soros-empire - EU is preparing isolation from United States of America.

Once called a ‘free trade initiative’; ‘a peace guarantee’ is now all for war, censoring its citizens and isolation.

A trench-war is not a realistic option. It would turn already bad economies into catastrophic ones.. and the only ones suffering would be the people in Europe that have sublet the management of their countries to this elitist clique.

OUR_democracy

Sat, 01 Mar 2025 19:49:28 +0100

You notice how they always talk about ‘our’ democracy. Never just democracy or old greek democracy (I don’t agree with what you are saying, but I am willing to die defending your right to say it).

YouGov Survey 2025 : Is immigration too high in your nation for the past decade?

Country	Percent
UK	71%
Italy	71%
Spain	80%
France	69%
Sweden	73 %
Germany	81 %
Denmark	55%

What kind of democracy ignore 70-80% of it’s population for a decade?

Bristol

Sat, 01 Mar 2025 19:24:42 +0100

I’m playing patience / solitaire when I’m listening to some talk-shows. And before it was a manually setup spider-game with three decks I played. Now it’s Bristol.

I’ve gone from solved: 1/5 to 1/3.. and I think it’s possible to get close to 50/50 (some games you just can’t do anything about.. the card you need to unlock some low cards turn up too late in the game).

(using AisleRiotSolitaire and PySOl FanClub Edition no sound and click to move.)

Vimrc

Sat, 01 Mar 2025 18:38:16 +0100

This is my vimrc. I split it up in sections. I have a mapping <Leader>vrc that opens vimrc for editing. There I can C-w f to open any section. I also have <Leader>vso for re-sourcing vimrc (I could maybe have that as autocommand on filechange).

so ~/.vim/vimrc_main
so ~/.vim/vimrc_folds
so ~/.vim/vimrc_mappings
so ~/.vim/vimrc_plugins

" filetype specific settings
so ~/.vim/vimrc_filetype

" use Ctrl-w f to open file under cursor in split window

I had some problems with filetype plugin on and setting wrap and spell globally.. but nowrap and nospell locally on filetype.

Zelinsky

Sat, 01 Mar 2025 13:38:55 +0100

What I can see is a rather small guy.. who has been propped up by the world and got to believe he’s very important. I also see someone who don’t know how to behave.

Zelinsky is in a bad spot. He’s really negotiating his future.
He has no life in Ukrain after the war.

He needs to grab as much money as he can and secure himself a safe heaven in a EU contry (France).

Vim_server

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 18:09:04 +0100

Vim has a server. You can start it like this: vim --servername VIM.

Let’s say you want to send log-lines directly into vim.

Start another instance…
vim --servername VIM --remote-send 'Logging my first line'

That won’t work. It won’t work because you wouldn’t do that with vim normally. You would go to insert-mode.

So.. vim --servername VIM --remote-send '<esc>GGoLogging my first line<cr>'

<esc> go to normal mode.
GG go to end of file.
o insert line below and go there in insert-mode.
<cr> carriage-return

class VimLog
  def initialize(server_name)
    @call = %(vim --servername #{server_name} --remote-send)
  end

  def send(msg) = ( `#{@call} '<esc>GGo#{msg}<cr>'` )
end


vl = VimLog.new(:APA)

# start logging
vl.send 'Detta är rad 1'
vl.send 'Detta är rad 2'

This works with gvim too. Gvim starts a server automatically. You can check the name of the server by typing: :echo v:servername and maybe get the reply: GVIM.

Lazyvim_is_testing_my_patience

What the f is up with Lazy-vim?!?!?!?

Constant updates! Constant fails.

Using CPU like crazy.

what a relief! Ridding myself of nvim / Lazyvim was the best.
It’s like: I can breathe again. And - suddenly - the keys under my fingers type.. instead of waiting for response.

Elections_with_semi_finals

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 12:39:18 +0100

It’s not democracy when the party with the most votes only has 16-19% percent of the votes.. and uses that as a mandate to negotiate coalition with other - even smaller - parties.

The correct way would be semi-finals and finals.

First vote will select the big three. Then people have a second vote on those.

Veritas_dating_interview

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:57:54 +0100

I’m not sure how Project Veritas can keep finding people that are willing to talk ‘shop’ at a date. I mean what we see are four or five different dates.. and every time the under cover must: ’eh.. well.. you told me the last time about this safe at your workplace. It had a combination. And it was like you and one more who knew the combo.’

‘And then you said: the office stood empty between four in the morning to eight, because the security firm was too expensive then. Can you tell me more about the security firm? Do they arrive in marked cars?’

Recept_tips

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:42:57 +0100

Idag gjorde jag en tjockpannkaka på vete- och grahamsmjöl med champinjoner och fetaost.

3 dl idealmjöl.
1 dl grahamsmjöl
6 dl mjölk
4 ägg

Förstek champinjoner i smör (champinjoner suger smör, så ta i ordentligt). Medan de steker: blanda ihop mjölen; mjölken och äggen i en bunke.

När chaminjonerna börjat få färg.. klicka i mer smör. När det smält: häll champinjoner och smält smör i smeten. Rör om snabbt (så inte värmen börjar koagulera äggen). Smula ner en bra bit fetaost och häll ut på tjockbottnad, smord plåt som ställs in i förvärmd ugn (225 grader).

Ukelele

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:18:59 +0100

Got myself a Ukulele (under the pretence it was a ‘baby guitar’ for my son).

And sure.. he uses it a little. He has his toy mechanical piano; his drumset.. but mainly the ukulele stays in my ‘man-cave’ (the name my wife uses for the little room where I keep my computer and music stuff).

It’s not that easy to play ukulele I find. Some chords are very tight with normal size hands.. like d-minor.. but even G-major. The string tension is also very low and you need to be careful not to bend the notes.

Incorrect

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:47:33 +0100

I said somewhere ‘No programming language can read the keyboard’. That’s is obviously not true.

In another post I said something like ‘If the value can take a symbol shape’…

Any value can take symbol shape (Ruby).

It’s really nice to possess travelling gold.. because it can be counted or audited many times. It can be US gold one day; UK gold another.. then Swedish gold. Whatever gold you are looking for: the same stash can be brought forward.

My_backgammon_math

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 22:54:05 +0100

I seem to be the only one believing you would have almost one chance in five to throw the sum seven in backgammon.

I think it’s logic: 6/36 (=1/6) chance of getting the sum 7.
And a 1/6 chance of throwing a double.. and getting another chance of having 1/6 chance of getting the sum 7.

For me.. that’s 19.44 % (or 7/36)

(and math is not my strong side)

Framtid

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:38:46 +0100

Jag tror det farligaste som skulle kunna hända Sverige är att människor inser hur allt är ställt och tror att SD skulle vara lösningen.

Dom ligger där - som en tidsinställd bomb - för att förstöra en framtid. OM SD hade varit ett vekligt parti.. hade dom inte suttit med i EU; skakat hand med Kristersson eller låtit saker bara fortsätta.

Jag tror det kan vara bra för Sverige att inte ha en lösning. Det brukar lösa saker.

Gem_check

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 19:19:24 +0100

Wrote gem_check to be able to see what gems been installed since fresh install.. or since any point in time I chose to store.

It’s not using git.

gem_check list all gems not default gems
gem_check -o keep_state.dat store this point
gem_check -c keep_state.dat show gems installed after this point

Why?
I wasn’t aware that tty-reader will force upon me an older version of wisper.

Note: I’m aware of rbenv.. I just don’t use it.

Templating

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 13:06:14 +0100

I Wrote a templating system. A main template calls in sub-templates. The sub-templates can call in their templates.

@@_head_@@
@req>@

@@_class_init_@@

The head template could look like this..

@@_shbang_@@
@@_frozen_string_@@
@@_rubocop_disable_@@

So.. head.template calls in shbang.template, frozen_string.template and rubocop_disable.template. The result is positioned at the @@_head_@@ in the main template (recursive.. with a max-depth bail-out to prevent infinite recursion).

The @@req>@@ is a placeholder for a collection.
A collection is built like this: @@req < require 'slop'@@

Method_missing

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 12:41:06 +0100

Using wisper, I wanted the listener to have a method_missing method.. to catch every broadcast. But wisper is using .respond_to? to check if the class have the method.

Enter respond_to_missing?. Force a true answer and everything is dandy.

require 'wisper'

class A_publisher
  include Wisper.publisher

  def bc(method, *args, **kw)
    broadcast(method.to_sym, *args, **kw)
  end
end

class Listener
  def method_missing(name, *args)
    p 'Method missing: (%s)' % name
  end

  def respond_to_missing?(name, ...) = true
end

ap.bc(:one, [1,1,1], ok: true)

If you unmount it from the computer, the files will be corrupted.

Prenumeration_tidning

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 11:57:51 +0100

Jag vet inte exakt (eller ens i breda penseldrag) hur det funkar.. men det verkar som om dagstidningar tjänar på att nästan ge bort prenumerationer.

Varför kan det vara så?

Som jag har fattat det är det nästan ingen dagstidning idag som bär sina egna kostnader. Men om du lyckas fejka fram några tusen prenumeranter, är du “berättigad” (detta enfaldiga ord) till presstöd (numer kallat mediestöd.. tydligen för att det ska kunna delas ut även till digital press).

Imports

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 10:46:34 +0100

It’s sometimes easy to think everything is just an import or require away.

I have two examples where it’s actually not beneficial to import a library and use the API.

Wisper_gem

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 19:25:31 +0100

This is just an example.. but it shows Publisher and Listeners.. both as class and block.

A better example: Let’s say you have areas defined on the terminal. You call them windows. You want to be able to shift between windows. Only one window can have focus at the time and all keystrokes should be sent there.

When one window gets focus.. the other windows must loose focus.

There wisper should be quite useful.

Importance_of_X

Reading_keys

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 12:25:50 +0100

Reading keys from the keyboard is a thing of itself.. because no programming language can read the keyboard. Instead they rely on the terminal or the window manager.

A terminal key can be read with Ruby by STDIN.getc.
If you press Return, the result is \r.

If you press an arrow-key, the result is \e.. and it’s the start of an escape sequence. If you read another key, it will return [.. and the next will return A, B, C or D for the four arrow keys.

Är_det_viktigt_att_samla_nationen

Sun, 09 Feb 2025 13:06:27 +0100

Nu när media, kungahuset och statsministern fått sin lilla skolskjutning.. är det “viktigt att samla nationen”. Det ska vara tyst minut; presskonferens; uttalanden från kungaparet; tal till nationen.

Inte ett spår av detta under dom år av sprängningar och skjutningar som plågat vårt land.

Det måste tydligen vara “rätt” sorts gärningsman och “rätt” sorts offer för att Kristersson med anhang ska få spring i benen.

Options_parser_again

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 12:40:32 +0100

When I discovered the gem optimist.. I thought I struck gold. Then I came across optimist_xl.

I started working on my own options parser.. then found rationalist. It is almost exactly what I wanted to write.

Only difference is that I wanted this behaviour:

opts = Parse::Args {
  :namE
  :password_x!, {default: 'secret'}
  :age, :int, {range: (1..100)}
}

# I defined both the long and short name in the key.
# all lowercase => first char is the short name
# end with _char => char is the short name
# capital char => capital char is the short name

# end with exclamation point => obligatory argument
# (pointless mixing with a default value as in my example)

# --name -e
# --password -x
# --age -a

Rationalist has the alias method instead..
alias: {name: :e, password: :x, age: :a}

Classes_needs_classes

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 22:03:35 +0100

To really enjoy classes.. you must work in a language where everything is a class.

Otherwise it will be a pain.

This is how it should work:

class String
  def blue = ( "Svar: \e[1;34m" + self )
end


print 'Vad heter åsnan? '
print 'Ior'.blue

# printout => 'Svar: Ior' (where 'Ior' is in bold blue)

MadeleineMcCann

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 21:43:34 +0100

If you want to see numerous examples of “hidden glee” / “secret smile” / “duping delight”.. you need to go no further than the many interviews with the McCann parents (of Madeleine McCann).

And (changing subject) no one.. and I mean no one has done a better job in cataloguing and reporting the Madeleine McCann disappearance than Richard D. Hall.

I believe there are seven films on his web-site richplanet about this case.

ICA_kundpanel

Det är ganska informativt att vara med i ICAs kundpanel. Du får då och då en massa frågor som ICA för tillfället är intresserade av.

Tidigare i år var det mest “gröna” frågor. av typen ‘Är du villig att betala mer för en produkt som har en tydlig klimatmärkning’.

För en tid sedan kom dessa frågor:

Litar du på att ICA sätter kunden i främsta rummet?
Har du förtroende för att ICA kämpar för att hålla matpriser nere?
Vilken annan butik skulle du välja om du inte handlade på ICA?

Dom vet vad som är att vänta.

China_retaliation

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 13:36:17 +0100

When China now plans its retaliation on US for the tariffs on imports.. they focus on energy.

This is why the timing of this was crucial. The globalists was trying to make every country dependent on “green” technology from China.

China would eventually choke us anyway. But at this ’early’ stage.. they can not get enough hold.

Instead.. China will be sitting on technology no one wants. Europe can’t compete with US and at the same time use inferior energy solutions.

En villa-politiker i en kranskommun till Mullsjö, döms för grov oaktsamhet i hantering av skattemedel. Vidare anser folkrätten att han uppvisat “en tydligt kränkande och provocerande hantering” av en upplaga av Svensk Läsebok från 1910.

En lärarvikarie i grannkommunen anses också inte ha tagit “tillräckligt avstånd” från politikern och döms - trots postcovid - till villkorlig dom och dagsböter.

Hash_invert

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 19:49:59 +0100

Inverting a Hash is simple: Hash#invert

By inverting: keys become values and values become keys.

I’ve seen some examples of people inverting hashes or doing other tricky things to find the key of a value.

For that you use .key(value)

hsh = {one: :uno, two: :doz, three: :tres}
p hsh.key(:doz) # => :two

Like in a database.. a key must be unique. A value do not need to be unique. You see the problem?

hsh = {cat: 'animal', square: 'shape', dog: 'animal'}
p hsh.invert # => {"animal" => :dog, "shape" => :square}

Do you prefer each_with_object or inject? Link to heading

p hsh.each_with_object({}) {|(k,v), res| (res[v] ||= []) << k }

p hsh.inject({}) {|m, (k,v) | m.tap { (it[v] ||= []) << k } }

# if you don't like a 16 char, 3-word method...
class Hash; alias :ewo :each_with_object; end

p hsh.ewo({}) {|(k,v), res| (res[v] ||= []) << k }

What you get is values as keys and the key(s) in Array.
like: {"animal": [:cat, :dog], "shape": [:square]}

Tariffs_by_Trump

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 12:33:29 +0100

I must say: Trump is clever in this tariffs game. He starts with the three biggies: China, Canada and Mexico. If they are folding.. he has proven a strength that can not be ignored.

There is not a chance he will gamble on this important step. He knows he will win this.

And the key is this: these countries do not act on their own.. they act on a globalist agenda. And the globalist agenda has many more hurting-points than trade with three countries.

Ansi_again2

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 18:03:04 +0100

I had the idea that ansi_again should not create all methods.. but create them on demand.

So.. get rid of

.each {|k,v|
        define_singleton_method(k) {|*args, **kw| v.call(*args, **kw) }
  }

And store the hash in a variable @cmds = { .. all the procs ..}

Instead we use method_missing to create methods as they are called: I also want to chain method-calls by returning self.. except for methods returning a result.. ie scr_size & cur_pos?.

Chase by Dean Koontz

That’s Not my name by Megan Lally

I recommend both. Chase is a novella and the name of the main character. Decent story with a disappointing ending.

That's Not My Name is a fun book and a mystery that’s not obvious from chapter four. It has this Stephen King ‘gathering’ quality.. where a few, select people come together to fight evil or injustice.

Alas, the super-antagonist has to be pro home-schooling and for an off-grid lifestyle while the protagonist and his best friend both are sporting a dual-dad home. It doesn’t feel subtle..

  employee.new('John', 29, :developer,  90_000),

God_and_bible

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 20:03:32 +0100

The bible is not God. I might talk about what God doG is.. but for now: “an object is not THAT”.

A building is not that. A day is not that.. how special it might seem to you. No season or seasoning is that.

If you saw on your favourite shit-social-media that person X had a stick. He said it’s the stick of Mighty Mouse. He explains Mighty Mouse might be good.. might be bad.. but can be everything… and since HE is wielding the stick: he is the spokesperson for this figure. What would you think?

Locker

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 19:09:33 +0100

I often code when going to sleep. I think about a problem or a subject and how I would attack it.. solve it.

In another project, I had the need for Ruby to be “temporary typed”. I can’t do that! But I can do something that works for me.

This is not the code.. it’s the instance:

require 'mw_locker.rb'

# first all variables using this class must be defined.
# They have a type (or types).
# They can use the 'filter'-property.. a Range or Array of values.
# Also a 'regex'-property.
# finally an optional block (or 'proc'-property of Proc or Lambda)
#
# It's mainly a setter/getter. All checks and procs are done when set.

X = Locker::TypeCreate.new {
  name(String) {|v| v.to_s }
  age Integer, filter: (1..100)
  name_age(Array) {|s| s.split(':') }
  to_bin(String) {|i| i.to_s(2) }
  
  # using proc: you can add proc or lambda
  # to_bin String, proc: ->(i) {i.to_s(2)}
  # to_bin String, proc: proc {|i| i.to_s(2)}

  # filter can be Range or Array (of allowed values)
  # Range can be inclusive or not.

  regplate String, regex: /^[A-ZÅÄÖ]{3}\s*\d{2}[0-9A-ZÅÄÖ]$/i

  testa [TrueClass, FalseClass]
  result [String, Integer, NilClass]
  copy(String) {|v| X.name = v }

  koko :NoTypecheck
  person(:NoTypecheck) {|stc| stc.new(X.name, X.age) }
}.__parse


# -------------------------------------------------------------


X.age = 100
p X.age # => 100

X.name_age = 'Olle:21'
p X.name_age # => ["Olle", 21]

# X.age = 101 # => Exceptions::LockerFilterError

X.to_bin = 7
p X.to_bin # => "111"

h = {name: 'Otto', age: 34}

X.result = h[:name] # String is allowed
X.result = h[:age] #  Integer is allowed
X.result = h[:city] # nil is allowed

# p X.apa # => Exceptions::LockerKeyError

X.copy = 'Stig'
p X.copy # => "Stig"
p X.name # => "Stig"

X.regplate = 'KKC 338'
X.regplate = 'bbo33z'

begin X.regplate = 'ABC-123'
rescue Exceptions::LockerRegexError; end

# .name converts any value to String
p X.name = 8
p X.name # => "8"

# .koko do not check for type
X.koko = 3.14
X.koko = 8
X.koko = :hejsan

# .person do no type-checking
# ..recieves a Struct and runs the block
# setting .name and .age
X.name = :Heliga_Lurban

# populates the struct with .name and .age
X.person = Struct.new(:name, :age)
p '%s is %s years old.' % [X.person.name, X.person.age]

The thing that made me want his came from this:

Elon_Musk

Elon Musk can fund who(m) ever he wants. He can find these loud figures like Robinson and spectacle away.

But there’s almost no chance he would contribute a penny to Richard D. Hall.. a REAL fighter.. that has suffered REAL hurt.

Then_tap

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 18:28:25 +0100

class Apa
  attr_accessor :donkey
  def initialize = ( @donkey = :Eyore )
  def to_string = ( @donkey.to_s )
end

rev = ->(str) { str.reverse }

# `tap` is yielding Apa.new
apa = Apa.new.tap {|ap| ap.donkey = :Roi }
p apa.donkey #                            => :Roi

# `then` is same as `yield_self`
#  and is yielding the block
p apa.tap { p it.class } #                => Apa
  .then(&:to_string).tap { p it.class } # => String
  .then(&rev)
  .upcase #                               => "IOR"

Code is just an example of class-method; proc (lambda) and the use of tap and then.

Fru_talman

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 13:43:21 +0100

Kollade på videon där Dadgostar kallar Forslund “Fru Talman”.

Ser man på hennes ansikte när hon gör det för andra gången kan man - med lätthet - se vad som på engelska kallas “duping delight”.

Duping delight är svårt att översätta till svenska.. men innebär en slags skadeglädje.. eller en inre förtjusning över att tro sig komma undan med något man vet är fel eller lögnaktigt. Det kan också vara att man sitter på information man inte delger.

Abbrev

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 20:47:33 +0100

require 'abbrev'

class Apa
  def initialize
    @hsh = { parameter: 11, subject: 'Kalle Kula', parm: [:ost] }
    @keys = @hsh.keys.abbrev
  end

  def method_missing(key)
    @hsh[@keys[key.to_s]] || @hsh[@keys[key]]
  end
end

apa = Apa.new
p apa.parameter # => "11"
p apa.parm #      => [:ost]
p apa.param #     => "11"
p apa.par #       => << NO KEY
p apa.p #         => << NO KEY

p apa.subj #      => "Kalle Kula"
p apa.su #        => "Kalle Kula"
p apa.sub #       => "Kalle Kula"

The class holds a Hash with three keys: parameter, subject and parm.

Home_alone

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 18:36:04 +0100

I used to make what I called ‘my morning song’ (just like Richmal Cromptons’ William). I sat every morning with guitar and coffee; paper and pen and wrote something.

Since a couple of years I am never alone. I can’t have a morning of my own. I can’t drink a cup of coffee and just let my thoughts meander.

No complaining. I have a baby.

But yesterday.. baby and his mother went for a walk. And I was alone. So I fetched guitar, paper and pen (no time for coffee). I got fifteen minutes.. and found four or five chords; some ‘mock’ words (‘Today I folded napkins’).

Downward_spiral

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 20:04:16 +0100

EU can’t afford a ‘Great’ or ‘Prosperous’ United States if they want to keep ruining Europe and send it down into third-world-status.

Because people will look at US of A and say: “Look over there! How great and prosperous they are. Why aren’t we?!”

EU needed America to fail.

Verbose

Thu, 02 Jan 2025 22:27:39 +0100

This is just a little thing.. but I find it useful:

VRB = false
def vrb(&bl) = ( yield if VRB && bl )

When having this in your code you can method-block any code that should just run the VRB is true.

Like:

names = %i(allan ingolf)

vrb {
  puts 'Names:'
  names.each { puts it }
  puts '-' * 40
}

UFOs

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 19:44:39 +0100

What do I think about UFOs?
It’s not an easy question to answer.

If you can settle with: ‘99.8% of everything is bullshit!’..
That is an answer.

Do I believe in beings from Mars?
No.

Do I believe in spaceships?
I do not believe in space.. as it is presented.

What do you believe?
We are here. There is a powerstruggle.. and a lot of (stupid) technology.

What to do?
nothing .. do not engage in stupidity.

Saw part IV of Jordan Seal’s Christmas song.. and he was talking about his Tascam model 12.. how he wished he could connect a certain input to a certain track.

On my DP-006 (Tascam), you have Input Settings and Assign.. so no trouble there. But on my R16 the inputs seems hardwired like this:

INP1 -> 1/9, INP2 -> 2/10 and so on up to INP8 -> 8/16.
But after the recording, you can re-assign the track.

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 19:28:15 +0100

Nothing special.. just me wanna see if Raspberry is running on the network before I bother to shut it down.

But I’be been thinking about strings.. and string templates.
So, I have a little erb in there.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true

class Array; alias in? include?; end

class Netz
  require 'open3'
  require 'erb'
  attr_accessor :ip, :port, :host

  def initialize(ip: '192.168.8.3', port: 22, host: 'mw')
    @ip, @port, @host, @bnd = ip, port, host, binding
    @temps = {
      nc: ERB.new('nc -zw1 <%= @ip %> <%= @port %>'),
      ssh: ERB.new('ssh <%= @host %>@<%= @ip %> "sudo systemctl <%= cmd.to_s %>"')
    }
  end

  # faster than `nmap` or `systemctl is-system-running`
  def alive? = ( ocap(@temps[:nc].result(@bnd)) )
  
  def sctl(cmd = :poweroff)
    %i(poweroff reboot).in?(cmd) ?
    ocap(@temps[:ssh].result(binding)) : nil
  end

  private
  def ocap(s) = ( Open3.capture2e(s)[1].exitstatus == 0 )

end


# Examples
netz = Netz.new

# p netz.ip
# p netz.port
# p netz.host
# netz.ip = '192.168.8.2'


# p netz.alive? # => true (if Raspberry is running)
# netz.sctl(:reboot) if netz.alive?

netz.sctl if netz.alive? # poweroff if alive

The thinking I’ve been doing on strings is.. THERE’S A LOT OF ‘EM !!!

Xinput

I wanted a simple way of turning off the built in keyboard and the touchpad on my laptop while using a USB keyboard and a trackball.

This is sort of the skeleton for this.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

  def id?(rex)
    @dev.each {|k,v| return k[/(\d+)/] if v[rex.tr('_', ' ')] }
    nil
  end

  def method_missing(n, id) =
      ( %i(enable disable).in?(n) ?
        (system 'xinput %s %s' % [n, id]) : super )

    ( `xinput list #{id}`[/device is disabled/] ? false : true )
  
  def disabled?(id) = ( !enabled?(id) )

If you do this: that will happen. That is what you think or hope for in a ’logical’ world. The car will not start. Only one of us have a drivers license. We need to get the car to the repair-shop. We need to get back without the car.

And there you are: trying to make logic.

The world is not logic. Just because you make SI.. so will not happen.

Assoc

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 18:20:43 +0100

a = [:one, [1,2,3]]
p a.assoc(:one)[1..][0] # => [1, 2, 3]

a << [:two, {a: :allan, b: :bengt}]
p a.assoc(:two)[1..][0] # => {:a => :allan, :b => :bengt}

So - with this one command - an Array can be used as a Hash.

Add to that the plethora of Array methods (including rassoc); the possibility to turn a array into an enumerator.. and you see you can go far beyond Hashes.

Pi Hole

Using Pi-Hole wasn’t as easy as I hoped. First I needed to get rid of the router DHCP. Still the QueryLog didn’t match what the browser did.

I discovered that Firefox had a setting: to use their own ‘secure’ DNS server. When I turned that off, it worked.

Regex_named_capture

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 18:05:35 +0100

A named capture is defined like this: ?<name>

If you want to use =~ in Ruby - and use named capture - you need to put the regex expression to the left.

Example:

data = 'Arne: 24'

if /^(?<name>\w+):\s+(?<age>\d+)$/ =~ data
  # you have access to two new variables:
  #   name & age
  puts 'name: %s, age: %s' % [name, age]
end

# THIS WILL NOT WORK:
# data =~ /^(?<name>\w+):\s+(?<age>\d+)$/

What if the variable is a global? Or a constant?

.bash_history now has entries looking like this:

I didn’t know what the hash-number was.. but guessed epoch. That was correct. So parsing can look like this:

Samnytt_kan_inte_läsa

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 09:33:24 +0100

Samnytt påstår att Donald Trump kallat benådningen av sin son Hunter Biden “ett missbruk av rättsväsendet”.

Vad Trump skriver är:

Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!

Det är alltså ganska tydligt att han hänvisar till fängslandet av människor som inte begått något brott.. fängslanden som fortfarande pågår.

Note: Jag antar att Biden inte kan benåda sin son för brott han ännu inte står åtalad för.. eller utreds för. han kan inte dela ut åtalsimmunitet.

Diddy_party_list

Some claim they have the “full list” of “ALL the people” that went to diddy-parties. Not sure how many of them was at the freak-offs or after-after parties.

Anyway: The lists I’ve seen are just stupid: A bunch of 70-80yo people (some dead) with a bunch of sc rappers or singers with made up names Burn-a-boy, False-on-love, Is-a-ray, Saucy Santana, Gorilla Glorilla, Druski the Ruskie, Giggles, Da-Baby, Ache-on, Saoeeeeteee, Liza Brown-eye.

BRICS_Trump

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 18:30:07 +0100

Trump is threatening Brazil; Russia; India; China and South Africa (BRICS) with tariffs up to 100% if they try to replace the dollar.

I understand it when he tells Mexico and Canada: “Stop sending people over the border.. or we will not want to trade with you”.

But I do not like when he behaves like a world boss.. telling other countries what to do.

Also.. the tariff threat has a limit. He can stop trading with four or five.. or six or nine contries. But he can’t stop trading with all.

Shutdown_raspberry

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 15:33:53 +0100

A clean shutdown of raspberry over LAN when my main computer shuts off.

The simplest solution:

make is possible to login to raspberry over ssh without entering a passphrase. This is done with ssh_keygen and ssh_copy_id.
sending a command after login. Well.. ssh takes a command. You can do this: ssh user@host 'sudo shutdown -h now'.
Make your own version of shutdown on the main computer that first run the ssh-command and then calls the proper, local shutdown.

When you execute my_shutdown -h now.. the script (Ruby in my case) first do the system call system %(ssh user@host 'sudo shutdown #{*args}'), then do the same locally.

The reason is that he’s involved in a legal case and tries to keep contacting some members of a church under the guise that it is journalism.

That sentence.. if you are a kid and your mother sounds like that.. you better not argue any more (Susanne Vega).

It’s a very fine line.. and I call it scrying.

All Europeisk media har drivit samma linje mot Trump som CNN och MSNBC.. nämligen den att försöka svartmåla honom så mycket som möjligt. Detta har man åstadkommit genom att fulklippa, felcitera och rycka saker ur sitt sammanhang.

Alias_parameter

Sat, 09 Nov 2024 20:09:05 +0100

Why do I need to mkdir some_dir and then cd some_dir?

That’s the first thought. Then: ‘I make a script’.

But the script runs in another process. You can cd all you want.. but when the child-process exists and returns focus to the parent-process.. your current directory has not changed.

I have let xdotool send the commands to the terminal before. So that’s a way.

You can also use an alias.

If you want a writer that uses the same type of language as children authors.. you will be happy with Rita Herron.

I listened to Silent Dolls and it’s Enid Blyton. Nothing can be subtext. Everything must be spelled out. Every emotion or action of the heroin is explained.

Rita Herron is a “bestselling author”. I can’t shake the feeling that all these ‘bestselling authors’ is nothing but a machine.

This is a time to be extremely cautious. It can go any direction.. and FAST!

Or.. it’s a trap.

Tired

There’s one way the Kamala Harris people might win. If they suddenly appear adult and dependable after the election. They go hard on crime and immigration. They give people peace and an opportunity to work for themselves.

Then they could wipe Trump off like that ‘old man that wants to argue all the time’.

People are FED UP with the arguing.

Har man inget skäl att engagera sig i det amerikanska presidentvalet.. så kom det som ett brev på posten: “en Vinst för Trump är ett hot mot Sverige”, säger Carl Bild.

Knattereporter

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 18:09:25 +0100

F.d. knattereportern Peter Woladarski fick en en fråga av partiledare Gustav Kasselstrand vid ett seminarium.. och blev tydligen så echaufferad att han - på babianvis - sprang på knogarna för att gömma sig bakom ett skåp där han försökte få kontakt med Bengt Fahlströms ande via ett medium.

Han ska nu stämma Kasselstrand eftersom kostnaden för samtalet var 28 kronor i minuten.. “och”, säger Peter “jag satt där jävligt länge.”

Jag åt vare sig korven eller hamburgaren. Det blev lite växter och en del presenter till Ossian (som fyller 1 år här i dagarna).

John Lennon played at MSG (Madison Square Garden). He even released the album.

We all know the walrus was Paul.. but who was the nazi?

“Imagine all the people living as one”. Nazi propaganda at it’s most extreme.

They say Yoko Ono means “ocean child” in Japanese.. what it really mean is “Sargent fascist Goebbels-hugger”.

Anyone who even hummed or whistled inside that arena killed Jesus and all the jews. People who go there eat babies.. even when they’re not hungry. They eat them for fun! Then regurgitate and eat them again!

“Being specific, it’s about details. It’s about the particulars, the facts, the minutiae. It’s the little things, the inside part and the around part, and really it’s the nuances. Ok? So when we talk about being specific, we’re diving deep into the guts of the issue. Let me be clear, it’s the sum of the parts that paints the vivid picture.”

Trump_fake_news

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 14:21:25 +0200

Alla ‘usual suspects’ förfasade sig över Trumps “nazi retorik”. Det var ‘The Guardian’, ‘NBC’, ‘CNN’, ‘Washingon Post’ m.fl.

Trump hade sagt: “invandrare förgiftar blodet i vårt land”

Det är bara att gå till C-SPAN och titta själv. Där visar det sig att Trump (i sammandrag) sa:

“When they let in 15-16 million.. we got a lot of work to do. They’re posoning the blood of our country. That’s what they do. Sending people from mental institutions and prisons all over the world. The increase in crime and terrorism that will be the consequence of no background checks.”

Zoom_r16_discovery

I have not checked and re-checked this.. but: It SEEMS like R16 do not like the server unmounting first (based on two occasions of file corruptions).

So, when I (on R16) select ‘USB’ -> ‘SD-CARD’, I must quit the connection by using the ‘EXIT’-button on R16.. NOT clicking ‘unmount’ er ’eject’ on the computer.

Tankar

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 18:45:39 +0200

Anta en URL.. som https://reisub.se. Om vi säger url = 'https://reisub.se', så är det inte längre en URL/URI.. det är en sträng.

Som sträng har den metoder.. som upcase. Jättebra för namn och orter.. men inte sådär jätteanvändbart för en URI.

Låt säga man vill hämta saker ur sin URI.. som host eller port. Då kanske man skriver sig en liten metod. Den metoden kanske man bara kastar in i kod som är main.

Uniq

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 23:34:33 +0200

Until today I didn’t know that the Gnu/Linux command uniq had a -w option.

The option tells how many characters that should be compared.

uniq -w5 only compares the first five characters for every row.

You can also skip characters with -s.
Or print out ONLY the duplicates -D.

RecordingSheet

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 18:52:24 +0200

I need to start using recording sheets. With my little 6-channel porta and no effects.. maybe not so essential. But with 16 channels; insert effects; send-return effects; panning; gain; recording level; microphone type; stereo-mono .. it’s a lot to remember. And if I work with two or three songs simultaneously, it’s impossible.

The best is to keep a book.

The next best thing is using sc.

SC is a spreadsheet calculator that runs in terminal.
I’ve a made an empty recording sheet that I can copy for every new song.

By chance and happenstance I came across Riley Sager. Four audiobooks:

Final Girl
Lock Every Door
Home Before Dark
Last Time I Lied

So far I’ve listened to Final Girl and Home Before Dark.

Both books are about people victimized twice: first from the actual occurence.. then by media (and by consequence: people who read and listen to media). In both books the main character returns.. reluctantly to a time and a trauma from the past.

Ior_code_revisited

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 19:31:19 +0200

Ior wants to change parameters. He has a hash (or dictionary) with the parameters that needs to change and what they need to change into.

This is what he comes up with:

ARGS = ['--number', '8', '--verbose', 'file.dat']

change = {'--number': '-n', '--verbose': '-v'}


argz = []
ARGS.each {|arg|
  found = false
  change.each {|key, val|
    if arg == "#{key}"
      argz.append(val)
      found = true
      break
    end
  }
  argz.append(arg) unless found
}

p argz

Why? The problem is that Ior programs like he think:

True_color

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 18:33:11 +0200

For half a day I had true-color in my terminals. Then reverted back to 256 colors.

Tascam Dp006

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 18:30:11 +0200

Min lilla porta har anlänt. För det jag ska ha den till är den i stort sett perfekt. Ljudet via inbyggda stereomickarna är bra. Jag störs inte av att ingångarna inte tar XLR eftersom jag skaffat en XLR->1/4" adapter på Kjell & Company så jag kan ansluta mikrofonkabel.

Sex kanaler (2 mono, 2 stereo) + stereopar för master. Får plats i en jackficka.

Working on a palette generator for terminal and needed to see the 256 color palette. This presents it with the basic 16 + grays + the 6x6.

Found no way to get the full hex out of a 256 color number.. to determine if the color is ’light’ or ‘dark’ (I set foreground by this).. so the light colors are hard-coded in.

Jude is not without clothes just because her name rhymes with ’nude'.

And just because Sergio killed a bear 1972.. it doesn’t mean that his second uncle keeps bees.

Sometimes ‘clues’ are strewn across decades. Ignore the ones that never seems to go away.

And you want to make ‘connections’.

Al was born on the 9:th.. his uncle was called ‘Zebrah’.. On a special occasion a cake was served.. and it had SEVEN candles.

Seeing

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 14:34:16 +0200

With your eyes you see.
With your ears you hear.

Not anymore. Now someone else will tell you what to see and hear.

It’s called ’news’ or ‘alternative news’.

Either way.

do NOT confuse seeing and hearing and knowing with SCREEN-telling.

Reptilians

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 14:30:09 +0200

I don’t believe in ‘reptilians’.

I see a lot of focus on trying to implement the idea of a ‘special creed’ of people.. like ‘shape-shifters’.

I know this ELEVATES the people mentioned.

Just like the holocausT elevated a group of people.

We don’t need ‘special’, ’elevated’ people. It diffuses the REAL PEOPLE.

This was made fast yesterday. Just wanted a way to split up recordings into bars and beats. I haven’t even got the machine (Tascam DP-006) yet.

Not sure if it’s possible to edit tracks the way I imagine.

FRAME_RATE = 30 # according to tascam.eu

    minutes: [:mins, :min], hours: [:hrs, :hr]}.each {|k, v|
      v.each {|al| define_method(al) { send(k) } }
    }
  end
end

class Frames

  attr_accessor :frames
  def initialize(frames=0)
    @frames = frames
    @smpte = Struct.new(:hr, :min, :sec, :frames) {
      def to_s = ('%.2i:%.2i:%.2i (%.2i)' %
        [hr, min, sec, frames])
    }
  end

  def reset = ( @frames = 0 )

  def smpte(frames = @frames)
    smpte = @smpte.new(0,0,0,0)
    smpte.sec, smpte.frames = frames.divmod(FRAME_RATE)
    smpte.min, smpte.sec = smpte.sec.divmod(60) if smpte.sec > 0
    smpte.hr, smpte.min = smpte.min.divmod(60) if smpte.min > 0
    smpte

For some time I was thinking about Zoom H4n.. but finally decided on the Tascam.

No built in effects. Six channels (2 mono, 2 stereo). It can’t even show time in bars.. only SMPTE. No proper microphone inputs (XLR), but instead quarter inch sockets.

You need a wife that can handle and support you in an attack like the one(s) Richard has been enduring.
You need friends that can stand by you.

I will not talk about point 1 at all.. because I have no knowledge, insight or want to do that.

wanted = {
  n: :to_s,
  age: :to_i,
}

en = ARGS.to_enum

loop do
  it = en.next
  if it =~ /^-{1,2}(\w+)$/
    val = case (key = wanted[$1.to_sym])
      when Symbol then en.next.send(key)
      else true
    end
    # for show...
    p '%s => %s (%s)' % [it, val, val.class]
  end
end

=begin Output
                "-n => Olle (String)"
                "--age => 22 (Integer)"
                "-lagom => true (TrueClass)"
=end

It doesn’t cover cases.. just short, long and bool at this state.
No translation from short to long key. Not sure the Converting is solid.

Sat, 21 Sep 2024 20:29:55 +0200

Wrote this trying NOT to use libraries like ‘(n)curses’ or ‘io/console’.
The key-handling became way to involved.. so I decided to use tty-reader for that.

require 'tty-reader'

# get cursor pos via sending Esc[6n
def pos
  res = ''
  $stdin.raw do |stdin|
    $stdout << "\e[6n"
    $stdout.flush
    while (c = stdin.getc) != 'R'
      res << c if c
    end
  end

  # named matches, return hash
  m = res.match /(?<ypos>\d+);(?<xpos>\d+)/
  {:y => Integer(m[:ypos]), :x => Integer(m[:xpos])}
end

# menu
def select(menu)
  rd = TTY::Reader.new
  row, pos = pos()[:y] - menu.size, 0

  menu.each_with_index {|item, idx|
    puts '%s %s' % [(idx==0) ? '>' : ' ', item]
  }

  # lambdas
  cur = ->(b) { print b ? "\e[?25h" : "\e[?25l"}
  cur_goto = ->(row=0,col=0) { print "\e[#{row};#{col}H" }
  pat = ->(r, c, txt) { cur_goto[r, c]; print txt }
  res = -> { cur_goto[row + menu.size, 0]; cur[true] } 
  
  # keys
  rd.on(:keydown, :keyup) do |ev|
    pat[pos+row, 0, '  %s' % menu[pos]]
    pos = (pos += (ev.key.name == :down) ? 1 : -1) % menu.size
    pat[pos+row, 0, '>']
  end
    .on(:keyescape) { res[]; return nil }
    .on(:keyreturn) { res[]; return menu[pos] }

  cur[false]
  
  # loop
  loop { ch = rd.read_keypress }
end

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knowledge

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 21:50:09 +0200

One of the programs I use is Audacity. It can do a shit-ton of things with audio. And I use it for two things only:

Splitting up long mp4 / mp3 files into shorter ten-minute chunks.
Converting mp4 to mp3.

The rest is not of interest to me.

In order to really learn a program or system.. you must try to use it for EVERYTHING. Open cans with it; remote control the TV; fetch mail; download audiobooks…

Curses_overkill

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 20:19:06 +0200

Sometimes Curses or Ncurses is overkill. Ansi escape sequences will suffice. Here’s how to set that up with Ruby.

I only use Curses when I need pads or mouse-support.

require 'ostruct'

# -------------------------------------------
# Setup .. add more sequences and calls
# maybe -> { `tput lines` }
# and   -> { `tput cols` }

Cur = OpenStruct.new(
  save:     ->            { print "\e[s" },
  restore:  ->            { print "\e[u" },
  hide:     ->            { print "\e[?25l" },
  show:     ->            { print "\e[?25h" },
  goto:     ->(x=0, y=0)  { print "\e[#{y};#{x}H" },
  up:       ->(p=1)       { print "\e[#{p}A" },
  down:     ->(p=1)       { print "\e[#{p}B" },
  right:    ->(p=1)       { print "\e[#{p}C" },
  left:     ->(p=1)       { print "\e[#{p}D" },

Suppose you want a fancy new String-method that returns the number of lines in a text. Unbeknownst to you.. String already have a method named ’lines’. It splits a line on new-line and returns an Array.

Poirot

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 19:57:06 +0200

As I finished ‘Curtain’ (A. Christie).. I now need to re-remember ‘The Affairs at Styles’ (or whatever it’s named).

I think I’ve read Curtain four times. And it’s a different experience reading a book when you’re fifteen, twenty, thirty-five or fifty.

Everytime YOU are new.. you should revisit your milestones.

Sometimes milestones comes in bunches. For me ‘And then there was none’, ‘Curtain’ of Christie and ‘The stones shall call’ (Rendell) are all merged into one experience. There are also Roald Dahl and the general feel of the month of December.

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 19:14:55 +0200

When all this is ‘over’ (it will never be).. THEY will have so much data that anything (almost) can be handled. They will know how to engage you, how to enrage you, how to shift your focus, how to pacify you.

All this is JUST IMAGES ON A SCREEN. It’s NAMES.. TALES.

But you react. You engage. You feel, write, post and click.. like obedient little shit-heads.

Simultaneously the method is revealed.

Funny_boy

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 16:06:44 +0200

Putin is now supporting Kamala Harris. She must be overjoyed!

A theme now is ‘God’ and ’the supernatural’. Trump is saying he is chosen by God. Tucker Carlson is saying ’they try to hide God from us’.

Another theme is: people of wealth and position is either dying; quitting or changing sides.

Reading_right_now

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 22:06:13 +0200

Just now I am finishing ‘Roadwork’ by Richard Bachman (Stephen King). I finished ‘The running man’ yesterday. Next book will be ‘The Hunter’ by Richard Stark (Donald E Westlake).

Ruby 3.3.5

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 18:38:28 +0200

Upgraded from Ruby 3.3.3 to 3.3.5

Simple as this:

ruby-install --update ruby-install ruby 3.3.5

This installs ruby in ~/.rubies/ruby-3.3.5

Update PATH in .bashrc. re-source .bashrc

ruby -v => ruby 3.3.5 ...

Three_ways

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 21:44:27 +0200

apa is a dummy-class with a method :add.
The gem ‘method_source’ is required.

# first
apa.method(:add).source.each_line {|ln|
  @ind ||= ln[/^(\s*)/].size
  puts ln[@ind...]
}


# second
ar = apa.method(:add).source.lines
indent = ar[0][/^(\s*)/].size
ar.each {|ln| puts ln[indent..] }


# third
en = apa.method(:add).source.split("\n").to_enum
ind = en.peek[/^(\s*)/].size
loop do; puts en.next[ind..]; end

The first version is using ||= to get the indentation of the first line.

The second is creating an array of lines and checks the first item for indentation.

Loop_enum

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 21:24:25 +0200

By accident I discovered that a loop ends when an enumerator is spent (sends StopIteration).

en = %w(olle pelle kalle nisse).to_enum
loop do
  p en.next
end

puts 'done!'

Pretty convenient.

Creep

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 19:20:29 +0200

Jag talade med Zilch. Samtalet rörde den här röran vi kallar världen och dess sakers tillstånd. Jag sade något om invandrare. Genast vaknade Zilch.\

Varför vill du peka ut dom?

Vad han försökte med var det här greppet (som han säkert sett in action på Södermalm) var att belasta någon med skuld och skam för att ens våga nämna ett ämne. Det han sett (och hoppades skulle ske) är att den som tystas på det här viset sjunker tillbaka i skam över sitt tilltag.

FilePointer

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 22:16:26 +0200

The file-pointer is like the needle on a old vinyl gramophone. You can lift the arm and reposition the needle anywhere on the LP (or EP).

In Ruby you use seek and tell from IO.

fh = File.open('file.txt')
fh.seek(0, :END) # move pointer to end
EOF = fh.tell # read pointer value
fh.seek(0, :SET) # move pointer to beginning

Any reading from the file starts from where the file-pointer is.

fh.seek(-200, :CUR)
p fh.readline

I used this to make an indexer. It reads tags in the file and stores the file-pointer position in a corresponding yaml-file.

Skeende

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 17:42:04 +0200

Vad händer om man tar emot en enorm mängd flyktingar (konstigt nog uteslutande från en religion) och trycker ihop dom i ghetton och förser dom med bidrag?

Vad händer om man samtidigt börjar en enorm ansträngning att regbågefiera allting (det som kanske just muslimer har väldigt svårt för)?

Vad händer om man dessutom låter dessa människor radikaliseras i moskéer?

Och slutligen.. vad händer om några av dessa radikaliserade muslimer bestämmer sig för att säkra sin plats i himmelriket genom att skära halsen av några otrogna?

Hugo_theme

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 20:15:41 +0200

Had a problem with Hugo.

Turns out the problem is with the theme ‘hugo-coder’. Some warnings.. and a Critical Error: .Site.IsSever is deprecated and should be hugo.IsServer.

So.. I needed to change code in eight places to make it work.

PoorCelebs

Sun, 18 Aug 2024 19:18:34 +0200

Most people think the big celebrities are filthy rich. They are not. That’s part of the deal: they can never become independent.

See how fast it went to make Spacey a squatter or to ruin Michael Jackson.

They are allowed a lifestyle and pocket-money. They are not allowed to accumulate money and become economically independent.

Slow Bitchute

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 19:54:00 +0200

Sometimes it’s not the server that is slow.. it’s the country you’re in that deliberately slows down your traffic.. to prevent you from accessing information they do not approve of.

Bitchute in Sweden.. has been extremely slow for some days now.. until you use a VPN and says you come from Russia.

The only thing I know about MrBeast is that I never liked that phoney grin that doesn’t reach the eyes. At some point EVERYBODY that thought they where youtube personalities had that gaping, surprised shit-look that was thought to lure more young people to the channel.

But the look on MrBeast’s thumbnails is actually scary. The eyes are total void of emotion.

Yellow Fairy book - person 01 Link to heading

This person has two storylines. Most of us do.
The objective “camera” storyline. And the internal one.

For many people, the internal storyline changes.
That is: a story gets better and better.

For some people, the internal storyline has almost no tangents with the objective camera storyline.

This is such a person.

Everyone wants to be loved. Imagine it’s not possible.
Imagine you see OTHER people loving and being loved.

Now_were_talkin

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 20:59:43 +0200

Suddenly - in Sweden - people are starting to talk about what’s going on in the world.

You heard nothing during the covid shit. Nothing during the (so called) “immigration crisis”.

Now they are talking.. in the supermarket.. neighbours are talking over the fence. The talk is careful. They don’t want to appear political.. but they talk. Testing the water.

Next_book

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 21:44:15 +0200

I will start “The Day He Never Came Home” by Andrew De Young.

I just hope it’s not a Dean Koontz copy featuring a sligtly modified Jane Hawk.. or Stephen Kings ‘The Gingerbread Girl’.

I usually avoid books with FBI and/or CIA people in them. I even think the books about Hannibal Lecter would have benefited with less FBI, Quantico bullshit.

No one thinks FBI or CIA is cool anymore.

Turn_of_the_key

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 21:38:12 +0200

Ruth Ware knows what she is writing. She knows what came before. And she hints about it. Even the title is a nod to Shirley Jackson.

She even quotes the opening sentence from The Turn of the Screw in her book.

She also quotes Agatha Christie (who quoted Shakespear - I think) with the sentence about the quantity of blood.

Is it a good book?
No. It’s OK.

Lundells_Sista_Dagbok

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 19:03:19 +0200

Sista dagboken av Ulf Lundell jag läser.. nummer nio.

Jag orkar inte med honom.
Han förstör allt han tar i.. om det så är en Aston Martin; en skägg trimmer eller IKEAs bokhylla Billy.

Han anklagar Edward Blom för att komma med pekpinnar.. medan hela boken är full med pekpinnar. Han tycker det är egocentriskt av E-Type att spela en av sina egna låtar som sommarpratare.. samtidigt som han ger ut bok efter bok med sina efterblivna världsanalyser som han hämtar från de enda tidningar han läser: Aftonbladet och Expressen.

Sat, 20 Jul 2024 18:29:44 +0200

Det börjar gå dåligt för förädarna.. dom som sålde Sverige och svenskarna mot en utlovad livstidsförsörjning för sig och sin familj.

Meningen var att deras bolag aldrig skulle behöva gå bra på egen hand. Investeringspengar skulle rulla in konstant och ingen skulle ana att detta var deras betalning för föräderiet.

Trump_AA

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 18:40:07 +0200

I don’t think the assassination attempt on Trump was the shoot heard around the world. It doesn’t match the criteria.

But this conspiracy investigation will differ from all others.. because it will lead to names and places. And it will bring consequences.

LiveThroughIt

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 20:57:32 +0200

Life is simple.. just live through it.

I can’t do that. I need to understand; figure out. I guess I never will ‘figure out’. The great bit is: that is part of the figuring. Some say: “it’s all a joke”. They are correct. Same time.. not.

How to explain? Can I make it simple?
You got a jar. It’s your jar. You can keep it.
You can not put the world in it. You might fit some stones; a pine-cone; some piece of paper with very important writing on it; a butterfly (but, that feels wrong.. so you you let it go again).

Tja.. kanske kan ha något med någon drogaffär att göra?

ProxyWar

European countries are soon not able to defend themselves from an attack. The black hole of Ukraine is sucking up everything.

What will happen when Europe realizes it’s been conned… made an enemy of Russia and finding out US is leaving Nato?

When the Bull of War is heading for the sea with Europe on its back?

TheGaps

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 19:24:50 +0200

In a production of any kind.. the gaps are always more interesting than what is there. It’s almost never is about what you put in. It’s about what you leave out.

Why is this?

It’s because you allow the receiver to fill in the missing part(s).

Art is irritation. It’s an itch.

Expected is boring. Unexpected is surprising. Omission is void.

A void must be filled (she said).

Axels_Tivoli

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 18:20:40 +0200

Kiviks marknad. Axels Tivoli.
Vi hade lovat varandra att “aldrig mer”. Nu får det räcka!

Men.. så får man barn.. och man liksom måste ju visa lillgubben.

Lillgubben tittade sig omkring och somnade ganska omedelbart. Vi köpte ett lakan; tio par strumpor som utlovas innehålla 80% bomull; godisremmar med smak av Tutti-Frutti, saltlakris och häxvrål. Vi köpte en äcklig hamburgare.

En mormor.. eller farmor satt i en tekopp med sitt barnbarn. Nu ska det bli åka av. Barnbarnet är för litet och börjar gråta. För varje varv gråter det alltmer.

Gambas_Ruby

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 17:48:30 +0200

It’s not easy loving Ruby these days. It’s the rails thing. It hurt Ruby a lot. And it’s also choices of words:

When you name a programming language.. don’t name it ‘it’ or ‘red’ or ‘also’. Searching for ‘Ruby gems’ gives you page after page with sandals with glitter on them.

Searching for ‘ruby’ alone brings up some child molestor or a gender-fluid actor.. or a comedian no-one remembers.
Ruby is a great language that has been mismanaged.

look out over yonder
we see Bessie coming in
with her bells and whistles
outside she parked her schwinn

she moves up to the counter
is there anything she'd like?
concidering in silence
while outside is her bike

"I came for a friend", she says.

As Lou once came for Bill
but Andy didn't buy it.
said "I'll put it in my will."
It's just the way things go, I guess.

Lås har pinnar i mässing. Svavelsyra fräter på mässing och det blir grönt. När pinnarna är mjuka eller sönderfrätta är det bara att vrida runt låset.

Alla vet vad Expo och Afa håller på med. Det är liksom ingen hemlighet att politiska partier håller sig med stormtrupper. Så gjorde nazisterna.

Socialdemokraterna har alltid behövt “det extrema” för att folk ska hålla sig i fållan. Dom fungerar som avskräckande exempel åt vänster och som attackhundar åt höger.

Sanning och logiskt resonemang är denna vänster helt ointresserad av. Dom vet att deras styrka ligger i att skrika, vråla.. eller som Aftonbladet: Håna, Hata, Hota, Hetsa.

Faulkner

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 19:05:38 +0200

But he was not a coward.. not so much to the idea of pouring out human blood and life, but at the idea of waste of wearing out and eating up and shooting away material in any cause whatever.

By William Faulkner, 1936.

“The Leopard Hunter” (from William the Conqueror) was published in 1926.

1955 William Faulkner asked “Does America deserve to survive?”

In 1926, Faulkner had just published his debut novel Soldier's Pay.

I have nothing against disobedience. I think it’s healthy.
I mean: why should you obey anyone? You’re not a slave.

But when you make it a business.. it begins to smell sour.

Ezra Levant and Rebel News KNOWS Tommy Robinson is a controversial figure. They WANTED him arrested. They KNEW he would be arrested.

They also knew YOU would send MONEY.

In that lies the sour.

WIN: Rebel News will be “on topic”, “heavy rotation”. WIN: Rebel News and Tommy will split the money. LOOSE: Tommy will spend 8-12 hours in holding and then be sent out of the country.

Glimmer

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 17:01:36 +0200

Håller på att kika på Glimmer.. ett bibliotek för att göra GUI applikationer.

Har inte hunnit komma någonstans.. men det verkar som om man skapar sin layout via block.

# dummy
window(specs) {
  vertical_grid {
    textarea {}
    button {}
  }
}

Det verkar också som att man kan korskoppla parametrar.. så om en uppdateras, uppdateras också den andra.

Men - som Paolo Roberto sa: - ‘Nu är det dags att sluta spekulera!’

Listen

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 18:48:38 +0200

listen listens to file-changes in a directory.
You install it with gem install listen.

require 'listen'

lst = Listen.to('.') do |mod, add, rem|
  puts(mod: mod, add: add, rem: rem)
end

lst.start
sleep

I’m not sure right now if you need to lst.stop before quitting or if it takes care of itself when the main process dies.
Otherwise you could put the command in the ensure-block.. or trap signals and handle it there.

The code listens for changes in the current directory. If you open another terminal or use tmux.. and create a file in the same directory:

Found VCR a bit.. too much.. so I wrote ‘homevideo’.
When initialized you set the filename (as symbol) and the time-limit in seconds (default 10.minuntes).

Time-stamp and limit is read from yaml-file. If time-stamp is passed limit, method outdated? returns true (and the new values are stored).

All gems gone.. so I did:

gem install httparty

Bredow

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 20:06:39 +0200

Jag tycker om gamla böcker för unga.. typ Enid Blyton, Richmal Crompton, P.J. Bonzon, Roy Brown, Olov Svedelid. Ungdomsböcker har - även dom - olika kvalitet. J.D. Salingers “Räddaren i nöden” ÄR bättre än “Sunes sommar, del 5”.

Jag testade att läsa Katarina von Bredows bok om Victor. Till att börja med verkar den ingå en triologi: “Victor” / “Ellinor” / “Leo” .. där man får följa dessa karaktärer i en slags triangeldrama.

Gigabyte AURUS GAMING 3
Two old laptops [no spec] (HP & Dell)

I suppose Martin Jarvis sort of ‘is’ the voice of William.. since the BBC Just William radio programs in the 1990’s.

Another one who read certain stories is Kenneth Williams. His cassette can be found on Youtube (part 1 & 2). The funny thing about William’s selection of stories is that he chose the ones that might be a little controversial.

For instance:

In one story William tries to convince a group of children that he is invisible. Actually he’s just hiding in a ditch.. and when he tries to crawl away unseen he gets covered in mud.

VCR

Sat, 15 Jun 2024 17:36:08 +0200

VCR uses the concept of an old video cassette player. On the cassettes, you can store results from web-requests.
First you configure the recorder.

VCR.configure do |c|
  c.cassette_library_dir = "cache/vcr"
  c.hook_into :webmock
end

Your recording will end up in directory cache/vcr.
To emulate web-calls, :webmock is used.

VCR.use_cassette('test') do
    res = HTTParty.get(url).body
end

Let’s say you are working on some script that collects data from a server. During testing, you run the script again and again. Everytime you call the server.

En del människor ägnar alldeles för mycket tid åt sociala medier. En del andra kan inte sluta att fördjupa sig i dynghögen av ‘alternativ information’.

Några måste hela tiden ’tipsa’ om sina fynd. Dom ser en film där någon påstår en massa saker. Det finns aldrig några riktiga fakta eller belägg.

Då måste man genast skicka detta som en länk till någon annan.

Är man riktigt ivrig, kan man sända iväg tio tjugo länkar om dagen till alla sina påtvingade ‘subscribers’ som bara sänder alltsammans rakt ner i papperskorgen.

Vargmåne och Ripp-Rapp. Böcker som Vinter i Paradiset och Sömnen.

Idag anser jag Ulf Lundell vara i stort sett en hög med skit. En man som tagit sitt ego till löjlig nivå. Så kommer en så’n där Måns Ivarsson-typ och ska berätta om eländet:

Jomshof står och talar med en “journalist” från någon av Bonnier-tidningarna. Samtidigt får Lång feeling och bestämmer sig för att DJ:a. Han ska spela den där tyska låten som media är så förbannade på och kallar nazistisk.

Hur dom samtidigt fick breda näsor och stora läppar.. om det talar inte vetenskapen.

Om hur livet först uppstod i Afrika och att vi Européer och Skandinavier alltså MINSKAT vår pigmentering och fått en helt annan näsa… om det talar inte vetenskapen.

The funny thing about humans is.. we have separate realities within ourselves. We have a lot of bullshit going on.

What happens when society as a whole start to accept - and even fuel - peoples alternative realities?

  def self.grid_diff(x, y) = ( [(x/8*8) - x, (y/8*8) - y] )

Snake

A starting point for a simple snake game on a 80x60 grid (640x480 px).

I was planning to use @sn[:trail] for collision detection.. but that went south and I added @map and the @mapper lambda for that.

Missing: no food, no points, no start- or exit screen.

Defaults right now to a 88 grid long snake.

Keys: arrow keys & ‘q’ for quit.

Betyg_och_utredning

Tue, 14 May 2024 10:14:58 +0200

Underbetyg måste ges till den utredning som kommit fram till att anledningen att så många elever i årskurs nio inte når upp till behörighet är: dom “utestängs” från utbildning p.g.a. den stämpel som betyget “F” givit dom.

Lösningen på att elever utestänger sig själva från utbildning genom att enbart lyckas generera ett F-betyg på den utbildning dom inte utestängts ifrån.. är att plocka bort detta betyg..

Utredningen hänvisar till ett smart “samhällsperspektiv”.. där elever utan betyget F.. skulle hänge sig med lust och håg åt yrkesutbildningar och komma samhället till nytta genom att förvandla sig själva från “ej närvarande” till “murare”, “elektriker” och “bilmekaniker”.

In the very flexible clause it says:

Domain names that have been newly registered may be deactivated if there is a deficiency in the requirement for complete and correct information about the holder.

Such a deficiency is very simple to invent.. and one can make it extremely time-consuming to over-rule such a decision.

When you read ‘Hunger’ by Knut Hamsun and then ‘The Invisible Man’ by George Orwell.. it is almost the same book.

Griffin is a total egoistic and so is the unnamed character in Hamsun’s book.

Both take lodging and experience a growing hostility from their host.
In both cases the hostility stems from how they over-estimate themselves and their powers.

In both cases their suffering is self-inflicted.

You could add Raskolnikov to the duo, to make a trio. You could also add Ignatius Reilly.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

Then: sum the numbers to total and add the parts of the number.
Ex: 'TRAZAN APANSSON' = 2+9+1+8+1+5 + 1+7+1+5+1+1+6+5
=> 26 + 27 = 53
5 + 3 = 7

# I group the letters [[AJS], [BKT]] .. and so on...
letters = [*'A'..'I'].zip([*'J'..'R'], [*'S'..'Z'])

# could use 'each' and 'index'
num = ->(ch) {letters.each_with_index {|l, i| return i+1 if l.include?(ch)}; 0 }

# remove 9 until < 10
zum = ->(i) { while i > 9; i -= 9; end; i}

# main proc
to_num = ->(nm) {zum[[].tap {|ar| nm.upcase.chars {|c| ar << num[c]} }.sum]}


name = 'Oliver Cromwell'
p to_num[name]
# => 2

So, while you’re scared about the :future or sad about the :past .. all NOW is waiting there to be used.

What matters is NOW.

Engagement

John ’not so cougar anymore’ Mellancamp got all sour and bitchy when someone in the audience asked him to ‘play songs’ instead of talking fake left-shit.

So, the liberal demanded his security to “bring the guy backstage after the show”. Then - to make the audience turn against his opposer - he said he would cut the show short by ten songs.

He started to play.. but was too enraged by meeting someone elses opinion.. so he just walked off.

They asked why, and told me everyone had to.

I said I couldn’t wear a mask because it made me feel sick.

They said OK and I was let in without a mask.

This was 2018.

Some lolly-golly came up to me and said I had to wear a mask outside.

Att det inte fanns spår av narkotika inne på skolorna visar att upplägget varit lyckat. Samarbetet med polisen upplevs som mycket positivt av skolorna, säger Jonas Törnebladh, säkerhetssamordnare på grundskoleförvaltningen.
