ok but 'Autobiography of son of Peter Tomkins, WW2 spy and psychic guru' is a pretty good lede so I'm borrowing this one too

thanks to @clacke's mentioning of Huey, Dewey, and Louie in reference to my post about Rock, Paper, Scissors; I started thinking about the alignment of the nephews to the TMNTs. What other color coded mutant animal gangs are there?

The Eighth Annual HPR New Years Eve Show
> on New Years Eve 2019-12-31 10:00 UTC (5:00 AM EST), we will have a recording going on the HPR Mumble server for anyone to come on and say “Happy New Years” and talk about whatever they want.
If my mental calculations are correct, and they probably aren't, that means the stream has now been running for about 7 hours, with 19 hours to go!
> We will leave the recording going until 2020-01-01 12:00 UTC (7:00 AM EST) or until the conversation stops.

self acceptance not in a woo fluffy kind of way but in a "it's ok to do things half assed, just for fun, or at your own pace and fuck everyone who says otherwise" kind of way has made my life so much easier.
I am still working on it, but when I realized I was shaming myself for not having as much energy as my peers and just said, fuck it im a low energy person, I'mma live in the slow lane and like it, my life got so much easier just cuz I was not anxious about shit I can't change. I still try to eat and sleep appropriately so I can have ~some functioning but besides that, screw it. better to get things done half assedly than to never do them and panic about it
(Brene Brown and Pete Walker helped a lot with this)

Yes technically I didn't produce the wealth I got from robbing this bank but I took a risk for it and therefore should be allowed to keep it

Posting here because this place because for some reason it works, while libranet and soykaf are either blocked or merely lagged out of existence.
It's the longest night not for some reason of astronomy, but simply because we're waiting for our next connection in a place with really disappointing wifi.

@djsundog @balor Apparently there is also http://bjson.org/ . They list half of the formats I mentioned and also others, so I guess they must have figured they had really good reasons for creating Yet Another Binary JSON.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etch_(protocol%29 (includes a serialization format) looks like a non-starter. Retired in 2016.

Gobs are interesting, partly because they sort of use an idea I had the other week (I hear Avro uses that idea too): Use a schema-dependent format, but one that starts by shipping the schema written in a bootstrap schema.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDXF https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3072 calls itself self-describing, and I guess it is, but not even as much as RIFF or IFF is -- there is a container datatype and you have IDs for chunks, but the IDs are not arbitrary-length strings or even FourCCs, they're just a 16-bit blob.
I guess it could be made human-readably self-describing, and serialize JSON, if you define a chunk for naming chunk IDs.
