The instrumental rock band tide/edit describes their work simply as “happy music,” but this track is one of the few in their discography that contradicts that, and the title points to why.

“Now that microservices are no longer in vogue… there’s no shortage of articles on how bad it is to adopt SoA when a PostgreSQL-backed monolith would probably do the job.” — @rednafi

Thanks to this article too for introducing me to the term Résumé-Driven Development. 😌

“The writer and singer abjures social media; instead, she sends an email newsletter, though that term does it a disservice. When a message arrives, it feels like (and this requires real precision and control) you have just received a long rambly email from a (very smart, hugely successful) friend.

“Lorde’s messages do not belong to the internet of Twitter or Instagram; they don’t belong to the internet of Substack, either. You can’t link to them! So they aren’t even part of the World Wide Web — not really. They constitute their own special thing.

“They are sovereign!”

You know what ‘gaslighting’ is. But have you heard about ‘lightgassing’?

Just another snap from yesterday.

A relative is running in the barangay elections so I extended my ride today to show up for support on this last day of campaigns (or maybe I just wanted to rack up more kilometers on the saddle). Took this photo of my bike next to a poster, because RGB. (I, uh, ran "encryption" on the poster for privacy.)

A full day of riding across the metro and I encountered what must be a million parades and motorcades. It's like fiesta all over the today.

Just learned that there's an upcoming Gomburza film with known actors and acclaimed filmmakers attached.

The fediverse has arrived at WordPress.com ❤️

https://wordpress.com/blog/2023/10/11/activitypub/

thanks @mattwiebe and and and all other contributors!!!

This is amazing!!!

@djramones@techhub.social avatar

@pfefferle @mattwiebe I didn't know this was coming to non-Business sites, so this is amazing. I activated it immediately on my blog.

After testing though, I realized that one of the "fine-grained controls" not available to non-Business sites is the ability to restrict the AP content to just excerpts. This is quite a dealbreaker for me as I'd rather not have my articles being syndicated in full. Am I missing something or is this really not available for configuration? I'll reluctantly disable AP for my site in the meantime.

Perhaps for other bloggers it's not as much of a big deal, so this is still great news. Thanks for working on this. 🍻

@pfefferle @mattwiebe oh that's just awesome!! I was ready to accept that Automattic would just paywall that setting 😅

Michelle Zauner’s voice, which she describes as a “squawk”, sounds perfect for this sweet, sweet song about “a small-town boy in Indiana, saying goodbye to his high school sweetheart who’s off to go on a foreign exchange program.”

@DocCarms gusto ko yung naglagay pa talaga sila ng “Bagong Pilipinas” logo. 😉

Interesting din yung note about credit reports. Last time I checked, credit reports cost P200 per request here.

Excited for men's basketball.

It's never good to expect, and of course I'm biased, but I can't avoid feeling that this is another season that is the Maroons' to lose. They lost Tamayo and Lucero, sure, but they replaced them with super-promising recruits, and they still have the MVP Diouf, a returning Cansino, the ascendant Alarcon, the reliable Cagulangan, and many others.

Meanwhile, their modern-day rivals from Ateneo no longer have Kouame, weren't as impressive in the recruiting game, and didn't look particularly dominant in the preseason.

@pixiecata I like watching live, kasi ang saya at exciting pakinggan ng drums, may sense of spectacle? Parang fiesta. 😅 but I rarely get to do so because it's inconvenient, and it's hard to get tickets for the big games.

Very unsettling news about the murder of a statistician who reportedly was a whistleblower at the national statistics authority:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9i5wvg7tbE

Statisticians are like journalists too, and in some ways they're more influential, because official statistics provide the basis for so much policymaking.

@pixiecata may I ask where you got the Hashira figures? 😅 also, are those pens Demon Slayer merch too? Cool stuff!

djramones,
@djramones@techhub.social avatar

@pixiecata oh okay haha. The Demon Slayer pens match the figures so well, it's odd. I even thought the purple one has Shinobu's face on it (the swordswoman on the lower-right/right), but maybe that's just a reflection, it's not clear.

Anyway, yeah, I heard that about Nendoroids. I only have Funkos but these ones look great, I'm not sure what brand it is, they're not chibi-style.

@pixiecata ooh so they do match haha, thanks.

On this day 10 years ago, released ‘Pure Heroine’ and changed forever.

“Lorde’s debut was a defining cultural moment of the 2010s. Its crisp, simple production and nonchalant lyricism was an eye roll to the maximalist pop that clogged the radio airwaves at the time. With her rose-tinted portrayal of working-class suburban life, she validated a generation of penniless teenagers living in cities and towns unworthy of postcard status, amid an era of anthems that boasted about being rich and sexy and constantly at the club.”

Shirley's Tama Na Ang Drama, re-released in a 2023 Deluxe Edition! 🤯🥹

I may not be remembering it exactly, but there was a time during the 2022 presidential debates when Ka Leody was talking about the 48-hour work week. Someone tried to correct him to say 40 hours, but he nonchalantly explained it's 6 days times 8 hours, so it's 48 hours. Of course, he was speaking from the POV of the blue-collar worker.

That was a breathtaking moment for me because it was a slap to my (our?) privileged mindset that's always assumed the workweek to consist of five days, tops.

djramones,
@djramones@techhub.social avatar

Isn’t it telling that I read a lot of complaints online about the 40-hour workweek, but not the 48-hour workweek?

djramones,
@djramones@techhub.social avatar

That said, what I really wanted to share about (😅) was this idea I've had of a four and a half day workweek.

It's just an idea. But I'm thinking about how it would be nice if we could always take the Friday afternoon off to do whatever we want, meet up with friends at the mall and have coffee at the park or something. This is assuming work on-site; we're already away from home, so we might as well enjoy our time out.

I know some won't like this because it smells like compromising with capitalists, but there are people who genuinely enjoy doing productive work, not because of internalized capitalism but because they enjoy using their talents. (Isn't that akin to the idea of human flourishing that Marx talked about?) At the same time, there's this hypothesis that we can only do intellectual labor effectively for only a few hours a day at most. So a 4.5-day workweek means no one will have to pretend to work by Friday PM anymore, no resorting to filling it up with mindless busywork. 🥳

I saw ‘Past Lives’ yesterday. I’ll always have a soft spot for romance films like this: beautiful, subtle, delicate, smart and sensitive. It’s devastating.
