gotta say, I'm not at all excited for the next decade of my career to be characterized by fire fighting new prompt injections in places people didn't even think there was a prompt happening

FYI: you do not, ever, gotta hand it to 'em, if they're fascists. If the worst person you know made a great point, they're still the worst person you know and you need to stop letting them shape the way you think.

A long time ago, the worst project manager I ever worked with tried to get involved in a technical decision around database choice.

See, he had a set of demands that he told us were absolute requirements and in his eye this data store solved those problems neatly.

Except.

We talked to the people who worked on said database and we were not just a little outside of the parameters where they made such guarantees, we were way outside of what they were built for.

This was a recurring theme.

@hrefna was the database web scale? it sounds like it might have been web scale

The two hardest problems in computer science are packaging and deployment, actually.

Correction, the two hardest problems in computer science are packaging, deployment, and documentation.

Hey @MDN, with Stack Overflow’s ongoing community implosion, now would be an excellent time to launch MDN Answers so people have a better place to help each other learn.

@julian @liaizon It seems like they would be pretty easy to distinguish heuristically. A Question that bundles in multiple Answers is a poll. A Question that doesn't, or that links to an Answer, is a Q&A.

Although my preference would be for a, @/context entry that clarifies the semantics

Well, I can populate timelines now. There's a lot of plumbing work left, of course. But I've been wanting to get this done for months. Feels good

Also a lot of perf focus, given how critical this functionality is to the user experience. I only have fake test data atm, but it feels pretty snappy with the few thousand rows I'm generating for tests.

NOT excited about putting together a real perf testing solution.

Did you know the interior of the average oven door can hold up to as much as 2 ounces of fully cooked dal?

It’s true. The trick, as I’ve discovered, is to make sure the dal is evenly distributed throughout the interior of the oven door and between as many layers of oven door window glass as possible.

JFC, why can't the bluesky team use ANY established protocol for ANYTHING?

jenniferplusplus,
@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io avatar

tbh, I can sympathize with someone who looked around at the landscape of protocols to do asymmetric social publishing type things and decided that the only option is to start over.

But chat? Chat!? Use xmpp! Use matrix! Use signal! Use IRC! IDGAF, but do not reinvent this wheel.

what the fuck

@hrefna I really can't see how it's anything other than hostile and protectionist for bsky to ignore every other option for DMs and invent something unique to them.

It casts all their talk about federation in a very distinctive light.

Jack Dorsey quitting the bsky board in a huff is probably the thing that would most entice me to use it. So I logged in for 2 minutes, and now I'm back to just having no interest in the whole thing

If you feel activated because someone doesn't like your favorite toy language that is on you to figure out. Don't take it out on other people

Not everyone is going to like everything, you don't need to seek out opinions of people who don't like the same things you do in order to yell at them about how their choices are bad and yours are good

You really, really don't

My identity is not tied to the language I use for hobbies or work and, even if it were, there's no need to seek out disagreement

@hrefna is this about the same parachuting language defender from the other day, or did something new happen?

I would like for more people to understand and recognize that Google is in total, scorched earth, imperial class warfare mode. That is the sole motivator for the company as a whole.

@hazelnoot That's a big oof.

But then, is windows 10 less infested with copilot? Cuz that might make it worthwhile for me to try to get back on 10

Practical solutions to the "don't share this on mastodon" problem:

  1. Include an image in the post, so mastodon doesn't fetch a link preview (you can do this yourself)
  2. Serve static assets from static files, not your app server (sys admins can do this)
  3. Mastodon adds some staggered delay to the open graph fetch (likely simple, but a dev needs to do it)
  4. The origin embeds the link preview and peers just use that (the difficult but correct solution, but gargron needs to agree to it)

@stefan yeah. There would be a lot of benefit to have more sophisticated trust assessments than just block or allow. This is one of them.

@thisismissem @stefan How would this service get funded? The fediverse is already financially unsustainable, adding in an unfunded centralized service seems like a recipe for disaster.

I feel like anger is a great motivator, but a terrible sustainer — like anger gets things started, but doesn't necessarily last or have a positive feedback loop, it just dissipates & fades.

And being continuously angry doesn't seem healthy to me.

@thisismissem I wish this was pertinent to fewer of the things happening lately

Reminder not to eat the rich.

The rich are apex predators, and they accumulate high concentrations of environmental toxins.

Instead, you should compost the rich
