#Emacs is great. Adapting #orgmode is great as well. It delivers a ton of useful features for my everyday work which I could not do without or with any software alternative.
However, with a sufficient complex setup, upgrading software causes things to break. This time: 
28.x ➡️ 30.1
Currently, tag completion of org headings is broken, linking to contacts is broken (helm-org-contacts), some larger Org buffers can't be saved (without switching to text-mode first), my magit-status window doesn't work and I'm not sure what other stuff is hidden below that doesn't work. 😩
I guess you can't have such an excellent custom environment without that pain. 😢
for the amateurs, how would that help in these kinds of cases?
@mousebot @publicvoit type checking isn’t really for end users, it is for the developers of packages. So if an update occurs, if for example, some API in Emacs shifts from version 29 to version 30, the type checker will be able to tell developers of packages like Org Mode or Magit which APIs broke, things that maybe are missed by the unit tests that don’t have 100% coverage.
The type checker could have other goals as well, for example, rolling back a package installation if it can be shown that the upgrade could cause some things to break. It depends on the goals of the type checker, what problems we are trying to prevent, and how we can go about proving through types when the thing we are trying to prevent happens.

A new day. A new chance to succeed.
Some days, I got nothin'.
Or at least feel like I do.
In truth it's never true even if I tell myself it is.
One positive thing. Every morning. Day after day.
Relentless.
Just one small thread to hang a day on.
I write it down and send it out to the world.
And in the doing, I find something positive. Sometimes hope. Sometimes peace, in 500 characters or less.
Even on days I got nothin', I have that.
I hope you have something, too, #today
A Rare Sighting of the Pelican Eel...
The pelican eel's most notable feature is its large mouth, which is much larger than its body. The mouth is loosely hinged, and can be opened wide enough to swallow a fish much larger than the eel itself. The lower jaw is hinged at the base of the head, with no body mass behind it, making the head look disproportionately large. Its jaw is so large that it is estimated to be about a quarter of the total length of the eel itself.

So which hobby project should I do?
These are three things I'm weighing equally. So I'll hear the wisdom of the crowd.
Either way you'll all be hearing about it 😅

So, practically. If Canada were to join the EU, what steps would be required? We'd obviously need to apply, like other countries. Certainly greater presence in Brussels.
Would we need to adopt the Euro? I'd think so, but not sure if that is a good idea.
We'd have to upgrade a lot of our standards
It is called Enlargement. Seems appropriate for the era we are in.

Enlargement happens when new countries join the European Union. This has taken place several times in the EU’s history, each time transforming both the EU and the countries that join.European Union

My jointer restoration project, still sitting at the old place. Paused for now, but not forgotten. Was in the middle of this when we finally found the right homestead.
Need to make space for it here first. Preferably with a foundation, so I don't have to move it again.
And then find about six strong elephants to help me load it onto a trailer.
Problems for another time.

I've been filing bugs to improve Mozilla's crash reporting infrastructure so it's easier to see at a glance if a particular crash affects only a specific CPU but also if only some microcode versions are affected.
I said it before but I'll say it again. I would have never thought that CPU bugs would have become an everyday occurrence, but here we are.
