@Alpine_JS Is there a problem with the AlpineJS site? I'm getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS when trying to access the docs. /cc @calebporzio

@thefilmcastpod Just heard @jeffcannata on the podcast expressing bewilderment about how beating other teams at football means you advance up the league table. How do sports leagues in the US work that this is a surprise/novelty to you?

@discogs Thanks. I've read those guidelines already. They only cover countries on individual releases, not master releases. I also checked the master release database guidelines but they don't mention the country at all.

[deepilla @deepilla]

@Discogs I have a database question. How is the country of a master release determined?

@qikipedia I believe this is also why Americans pronounce the word "solder" as "sodder".

@IAmCuroc Did you post more of these throwback pics recently? Could've sworn I saw one of you at The Borderline. Wanted to send the link to a mate of mine that I used to go Flava Of The Month with. Can't find it though. Did you take it down?

@bonedo Hallo. Haben Sie ein Video zu Ihrem Test des Mastersounds Radius 4V Mixer?

@brettgoldstein @lollyadefope @hiyalauren Didn't hear you mention this on the pod re Hastings ordering Corbett's death. Ted's last DM was "I need you to bring all this to a close." Corbett seemed confused. Lisa did not...

@PLAYdifferently Hi. The manual for MODEL1 says, "there is an internal option to allow AUX 2 to be switched Pre or Post fader along with AUX 1." Does this have to be requested when you order or can it be done by the user at home?

@__dfreeman @rustlang I haven't used Rust, but this sounds like the way Go handles code snippets in docs. See https://t.co/RMjI28EYW3.

@matryer It's not a big deal. I was just curious about why you wanted to drop method expressions from the language. My point is just that the ability to pass methods around without a receiver could potentially be useful.

[deepilla @deepilla]

@matryer Hi. I just watched your "Things in Go I Never Use" talk. What's your objection to method expressions? You don't explain why you'd like to see them removed from the language.

[deepilla @deepilla]

@matryer Hmm... Not sure about that. I don't think there's another way to pass a method around without a receiver. I've never actually used it in the wild though. Could be one of those things that sounds cool but has little practical use.

[deepilla @deepilla]

@TheMerovius @matryer I also used them in a parser. For a while... In the end I decided that the methods in question didn't really belong in the parser and rewrote them as standalone functions. But it was enough to convince me that method expressions could be useful in some cases.

[deepilla @deepilla]

@matryer Aren't those two different things? g.Hi is a method value -- it's tied to the receiver g. Greeter.Hi is a method expression -- it takes a receiver as the first argument. I've only ever used the former but I think the latter could also be useful. Why not have both?

[deepilla @deepilla]

@matryer Well I wouldn't recommend using them like that. But they do allow you to pass methods (e.g. Greeter.Hi) around like function pointers. Seems like the sort of thing that might come in handy...

@Pinboard I'm getting an "Invalid manifest" error when trying to install the official Pinboard Chrome extension. Is it still being maintained or is there a third-party extension that you would recommend instead?

@allthingsgit Hi. It looks like the security certificate on your website has expired. I'm not able to access the site (in Chrome) or the RSS feed.

@HM_Passport Ok, I will give that a try. Thanks...

[deepilla @deepilla]

@HM_Passport Hi. I'm renewing a passport from overseas. Will I get a tracking number when my new passport and supporting documents are sent out?
