a question. If a site has both a signed out home page, and a signed in one (for example a feed or dashboard), what should you see if you're signed in and try to view the home page?

fabian,
@fabian@floss.social avatar

@joelanman @benjamineskola what Ben says. You can also have both accessible (/home and /dashboard) and only redirect from / instead of replacing it. Depends.

🐍 aprxc — A tool to approximate the number of distinct values in a file/iterable using the Chakraborty/Vinodchandran/Meel’s (‘coin flip’) .

:codeberg: https://codeberg.org/fa81/ApproxyCount

Vs. sort | uniq -c | wc -l: needs slightly more memory, but 5x faster.

Vs. awk '!a[$0]++' | wc -l: just as fast, using much less memory (20x-150x for large inputs).

At the cost of ~1% inaccuracy (configurable).

Useful? You decide! :)

@veit Interesting. commit.cleanup = scissors is new to me. What's your exact use case for this? Is it so you're able to mention "" issue IDs in the beginning of a line?

I’ve had mixed feelings about manager readme. On one hand I do a verbal version in my first meeting with new collaborators to let them know I communicate directly but mean well.

OTOH, the power dynamic as a manager can read as a list of flaws your team has to put up with.

@deshipu @dabeaz What deshipu says.

My tolerance/respect has decreased over the years towards people who intentionally ignore proper grammar and spelling. (Doesn't apply if you're actually dyslexic or similar, of course.)

If your desire as a sender is to be edgy, too cool to care, or just lazy, but it makes me, the recipient, invest more time and brain cycles into interpreting your communications, I'm pretty quick with an unfollow nowadays.

fabian,
@fabian@floss.social avatar

@dabeaz Fair enough. My thought was only remotely related, admittedly.

You know, a handy thing for those of us (cough) that can fall into using social media as an out-vent for irritation would be an ability to have a "notes" banner to remind ourselves of an intent not to do that. Like, here...

@mattwilcox I have a custom style sheet that modifies the text in the Post button in a similar way.

(Had an AI/LLM-generated 💩 website encounter the other day. Nothing new, probably, but still rare for me, and it’s been a bit funny:

I was looking for work stuff, webauth, tokens, something. The site already had a pretty SEO/baity domain, but the content, a FAQ-like, looked reasonable, at least quickly to parse for me when looking for my answer. Anyway, at one point, I don’t know which ambiguous term triggered it, the text suddenly started talking about washing machines and car motors?! 🤨)

How much unpartitioned space do you currently have on your PC’s SSD/HDD? (partitioned/formatted but completely empty also counts)

    @jwildeboer yeah, "scheduled" might be a stretch. It was announced a couple of minutes ago on Mastodon and on Matrix, I think.

    Hey web developers, this may seem like a dumb question, but when I was a young warthog you would link to a directory (just a simple "a href"), and if that directory had an index.html page it would assume that's what you wanted. Now I'm just getting one of those "Index of" pages (with that index.html page visible!) is it because it's running locally instead of a proper web server? Has this just overall changed and I didn't know?

    fabian,
    @fabian@floss.social avatar

    @RomanOnARiver Yeah, that's totally up to the webserver. There is no concept in HTTP (afaik) of "serving a directory". HTTP is text-in, text-out. If you "browse" your filesystem locally with your browser, then it will likely list the directory. If you use a webserver it depends on its configuration. Yes, serving index.html when accessing a /my/directory/ "path" might be a default, but doesn't have to be.

    @mattwilcox@mstdn.social avatar

    It is my opinion that “spoilers” and “startrek discovery” are oxymorons. Because that show has not just “minimal” but outfight no respect for even the most basic logic or consistency. You can’t spoil it because it’s absolutely incoherent. It’s a work about feelings that ignores any in-world logic; and as such has no stakes. Nothing matters because any magic bullshit will be pulled out of a bag to satisfy an emotional arc when the writers have no skill in any other aspect of writing.

    fabian,
    @fabian@floss.social avatar

    @mattwilcox I think this the same issue I have with a lot of superhero blockbusters? If everything is possible, nothing really matters.

    And if you add nostalgia/fan-service to the mix, it gets even worse. 🤷 (Haven't watched Discovery at all, so this is a general comment.)
