Had somebody ask me to keep politics off the platform for a post I made today.

They're blocked.

If you ask people not to post political stuff, it means "don't post political stuff I don't agree with." And that's BS.

It was attitudes like this that made me mostly stop using social media for 4-5 years. I'd post something or retweet something, and get a barrage of folks sea-lioning or brigading me. For daring to have beliefs that were not theirs.

Ironically, they also got angry about "cancel culture".

At this point, I'm done with debates, and nobody is entitled to a debate. If you don't like my views (yes, I'm a socially progressive person, though hardly extremist; probably petit bourgeoisie best describes me), you don't have to follow me or engage.

I'm tired of having to mask in public. I'm not going to do it anymore.

Great read on how regressives stoke campus protests as a tactic to amplify their own policies and fuel rage against "liberalism" amongst their base, and how academic leadership falls for it again and again.

Lessons in city and school planning.

Our high schools don't use the school bus system, and rely on city buses. However, they've also reduced service. Most kids who ride have a large walk to a stop, and either have to get there absurdly early, or risk not enough space on the buses that get there on time.

And our city is now doing road construction on each of the major roads to the school, AND the one backup route coming from the south.

Talk about setting kids up for failure...

@ramsey I had watched ep 13 a few weeks ago and it ended on a huge cliff hanger, and, being ep 13, I got excited because I thought that meant another season!

Then my son told me Friday that the finale had aired.

I watched the last two episodes yesterday, and damn... All I'll say is, from mid-season 2 to the finale was some of the best SW storytelling I think we've had.

4th of May... That's the right day to watch "The Wrath of Khan", isn't it?

@heiglandreas Absolutely! My favorite part of that movie is when the sentient trees fight the wookiees for control of the Daleks. So moving!

What do you use for offsite backups for applications and databases?

mwop,
@mwop@phpc.social avatar

@sarah I have a recurring job that (a) runs pgdump, and then (b) uses logrotate to rotate backups and expire old archives. This runs on a mounted s3fuse volume, which gives me backup to, in my case, DO spaces.

mwop,
@mwop@phpc.social avatar

@willpower232 Yes, within a container, via elementary/s3-volume (https://github.com/elementar/docker-s3-volume).

I ended up brainstorming a "boring tech" talk with @auroraeosrose while at last week that I'm hoping to flesh out and pitch.

Web developer: my dynamically typed language is now faster than that other dynamically typed language. Sometimes. By a small amount.

Also web developer: SELECT query in loop.

@sean The performance is always limited by the number of I/O operations. It’s almost never the runtime. I’ll die on that hill.

Upgraded the personal laptop to 24.04 over the weekend. As usual, refreshingly dull and boring upgrade, which I like.

Only issues so far are: a few extensions I rely on (but can work around) are not yet updated to Gnome 46, and there are a couple repos (including hashicorp) not yet updated.

I find as I age that stable, boring tech is my favorite tech.

If Kristi Noem killed her 14 month puppy because it was “untrainable,” imagine what she wants to do to LGBTQ folks, atheists, and hippies.

@theusasingers Those of us who live in SD don't have to imagine, unfortunately. 🫤

We've kept the worst at bay (you know it's bad when even the R-led legislature often works against her worst tendencies), but still see our rights chipped away every single year.

Use Value Objects rather than massive $options arrays when exposing an interface for configuring requests made by your SDK, because you want to make your SDK code as self-documenting as possible. - @SecondeJ

mwop,
@mwop@phpc.social avatar

@afilina @ian @SecondeJ Apples and oranges; he was talking SDK, not application. And every framework uses arrays for app config, to allow merging values into vendor and extension defaults. Some just call those arrays "YAML".

(I'd like to change our libraries to define options value objects, and then have our factories create those from config arrays, as that gives the option to eliminate the arrays. But config merging provides much needed flexibility and overriding power for users.)

mwop,
@mwop@phpc.social avatar

@Crell @mwop @afilina @ian @SecondeJ Yes, that sort of approach is what I was trying to describe. You get the flexibility of merging and key/value, but end up with typed value objects.

My point was that the OP was around configuring SDKs, which are narrowly scoped, vs an entire application, which is an aggregate, and which may need merging of config between extensions and user-supplied values. Ideally, that all becomes value objects at some point.
