Hi everone, over the next few days, I will move to another instance. The new account will be at @claudius !

I will make one or two announcements beforehand and then I'll use the automatic move feature in mastodon. But feel free to already follow me on the new account manually.

claudius, to random German

Hallo zusammen, in den nächsten Tagen werde ich auf eine andere Instanz umziehen. Der neue account wird @claudius sein. Ich mache hier noch 1-2 Ankündigungen und dann den "automatischen" Umzug. Aber wer schon vorher drüben folgen möchte, kann das natürlich auch jetzt schon von Hand machen.

Nennt mir einen wenig bekannten Fakt, der euch total vom Hocker gehauen hat, als ihr von ihm erfahren habt. 👇

claudius,

@mimrma dass es in Deutschland Atombomben gibt.
Bis ca. 2007 in Ramstein und -anscheinend- im Moment nur noch in Büchel.

Our Flag Means Death is incredible. Can't wait for the 2nd season. It's as close as I want to get to a Monkey Island TV show.

claudius,

@grumpygamer I would not be surprised if suddenly 5000 people started watching a show they never even heard of before 🥳 #OurFlagMeansDeath

I’m running a experiment. Please boost for reach.

When I say VS Code, what is the first word that comes to mind?

Please reply, but don’t peek at other people’s responses until you’ve done yours.

Die onboarding experience bei bluesky ist sehr verwirrend, man sucht erstmal vergeblich nach alternativen Apps, dann gibt es nur einen Server mit einer total merkwürdig zusammengewürfelten Community, dann werden einem lauter Leute zum Folgen vorgeschlagen, die man nicht kennt, und die lokale und föderierte Timeline habe ich überhaupt nicht gefunden. Sorry, so kann das leider nichts werden :(

Oha, Fairphone 5 ist vorgestellt worden: https://shop.fairphone.com/de/fairphone-5

Giving Fairphone shit because while trying to build a long-term viable, sustainable and socially and economically fairer device they also think about the people in the real fucking world who are supposed to use them and offer them the software most of them rely on (like Google Apps) is more toxic purism than I can stand.

People who are willing to suffer in their life by using something different, something slightly incompatible to what the rest of the world uses already do install roms and run whatever on their machines.

Getting real actual people to buy a phone that's not built to be thrown away in a year of two, that highlights the values of sustainability is a huge win.

And making the medicine ("your phone might not be as fancy as your peers' phones") taste sweeter ("for 8 years you have access to all the applications you need for your life to function within a digital society") is just a smart move.

claudius,

@cwillmes @tante Someone who does not want clean water badly enough to understand public infrastructure and can run their own filtration system should not drink water then.

Someone who can't afford and does not know how to cook a healthy meal does not get to eat.

Someone who is not excellent at math deserves to be screwed over by a bank.

Is that what you're saying? Because that's pretty much what you were saying just now. Just in "computer" instead of water/health/finances.

claudius,

@cwillmes @tante my point is: lots of shit is complicated. We nerds just often point to computers and say "everyone must be this tall to ride".

And that clearly sucks.

We need better legislation. We need better alternatives. We need to grab corporations by the balls. We don't need to put more strain on the individuals who have a ton of other things to worry about.

claudius,

@cwillmes @tante In that Case I misunderstood you and I would like to apologize.

.@SmartmanApps my wife found an Amazing video that looked into the juxtaposition/multiplication discussion, including looking at what calculator manufacturers do and why.

claudius,

@SmartmanApps a thing she does very differently is, she tries to find and cite primary sources. A thing I strongly recommended to you since we started our former debate. A "cause I said so" or "I know this, trust me" reasoning simply is not very convincing.

Also the change CASIO did for the north american market was very interesting because it hints at something we also superficially discussed - regionally different interpretations (even if that just means "regionally taught wrongly").

claudius,

@SmartmanApps filename of a PDF hardly counts as referencing a source. Maybe I did not look at it because I was distracted by the Drake Meme. I don't know.

RUBBISH SUPER POWERS

In a moment of silliness a few of us were coming up with #RubbishSuperPowers

I recall settling on the ability to levitate up to 1mm.

Another had the ability to travel in time up to a second either way.

The other argued that being able to fart on demand was a super power. He was not lying about the ability. We weren't convinced it was super though.

Anyone else got any super powers?

claudius,

@leighms
1mm floating would be amazing, you would be a human maglev train. Go anywhere with very little effort!

Been doing some research into implementing migrations for Domain’s JSDB database (basically, JavaScript data structure migration) and it’s amazing to me how many of the solutions out there use semver to version databases with no good reason.

If your database requires a migration, it is a major version. Where does minor and patch even come into it? Why complicate it beyond version 1, 2, 3… etc.?

I do wish folks would stop and think for a moment before adopting things without understanding them.

claudius,

@aral rails timestamps the migration (iso8601) and has one table that keeps track of applied migrations. This is a good idea in a scenario where Multiple Devs might add migrations on separate branches where a single version number would fall short.

claudius,

@aral yeah solving 95% is probably the way to go. You can always get more complicated later without too much hassle.

Was thinking about today and that reminded me of the excellent guest role Padma Lakshmi had on Enterprise which made me want to ask y'all: Who's been your favorite guest star/role across the franchise?

claudius,

@rboyce @nocontexttrek
Shout-out to @GreatestTrek who just reviewed that episode, including a fun little story involving @JeriLRyan

claudius,

@Minski
That actor also was on X-Files at the time, and he seriously haunted me for a while :-D
@nocontexttrek

claudius,

@Jesus_M_Ventura
great one. Do you know the backstory? If not, it's hilarious. Apparently he (literally) rolled up to the paramount lot, and wasn't recognised at first.

Ok then, my turn to do an ask me anything thread. Reply to this with any question you want and I'll answer it, provided it's nothing ridiculous like "How do you wipe your arse when you're blind".
