Hey folks! I want to talk a bit about my financial situation, and how that relates to my work on Fornjot. Thread incoming! (1/x)

I wonder if the word that describes our day and age best maybe is “entitled”

And I don’t just mean that a specific group are feeling entitled to a specific thing or such – it rather seems like everyone feel entitled to so many things – and these entitlements clashes often eg when A feels entitled to peace and quiet and B feels entitled to party hard with music on max volume – and then derails into an argument of “You’re stupid”, “No, you’re stupid” and every ounce of common sense is gone…

I’m wondering when the shift from prosumer focused freemium SaaS offerings to Enterprise focused “contact us to sign up” SaaS offerings happened.

I miss the democratization of services that came with the former and am flabbergasted about the pricing of many of the latter.

Note to self: Don’t read comments online and don’t engage in those conversations. It costs too much.

Upcoming #JavaScript iterator methods:

// Without iterator methods:
const arr = Array.from(myMap.keys())
.filter(k => isPublic(k));

// With iterator methods:
const arr = myMap.keys()
.filter(k => isPublic(k))
.toArray();

(I prefer not to do .filter(isPublic) because isPublic() may gain more parameters in the future.)

Open source: A community where we strive to put the blame on someone else

Users blame maintainers
Maintainers blame users

And contributors get mistaken for maintainers by users and for users by maintainers – so they receive blame from everyone and are maybe also blaming everyone?

Dipped a toe into a standards discussion and I remain convinced that it's not a world for me.

I wish we lived in a world where standards work was done by a wide, diverse, and open community rather than exactly the sort of technologist who loves to bikeshed.

It's such important work, and uniquely creates opportunities for amazing large-scale cooperation to happen. Too often, though, it's a place for insecure people to build little fiefdoms. 😢

Me bombarding the @ecosystems API with the new refresh command in my list-dependents-cli 🙈 https://github.com/voxpelli/list-dependents-cli/releases/tag/v1.4.0

@ecosystems Maybe I should get myself some kind of API-key and enable my tool to be given an API-key? Because I'm for sure doing more than 5k requests per hour right now

Animation of me updating ≈3000 dependencies

I highly recommend the gh-poi tool for anyone that is working in a PR-oriented workflow towards GitHub: https://github.com/seachicken/gh-poi

With a single command you can remove all local branches that have been merged and deleted from the repository.

Its like a prune on stereoids

I get the appeal of email newsletters. I really do.

But nothing gives me as much anxiety as sending out an email and then constantly obsessing about whether I made a typo or messed up a link, because I simply can't just edit it like I can with a post on my blog. 😭

I really wish Mastodon would adopt an aggregation approach rather than a repost approach when gathering data from across the web.

#Jaiku did this very well, as can be seen in eg. this screenshot from an old @TechCrunch article: https://techcrunch.com/2008/08/28/jaiku-uncaps-invites-migrates-to-google-infrastructure/

Jaiku also had (or at least planned to have) the option of picking and choosing which aggregated data one wants to follow.

Published a new version of my "buffered-async-iterable" module: https://github.com/voxpelli/buffered-async-iterable/releases/tag/v1.0.0

It can now return the result in order (at cost of performance of course) and it also got a new method: mergeIterables(), which interweaves values from multiple async iterables in parallel

Support like this is needed for @nodejs / @openjsf as well.

I keep wondering if the merging of the Nodejs Foundation and the jQuery Foundation into OpenJS Foundation created an organization too anonymous for people to support it like this, but that can change

What is your definition of a #VideoGames CONSOLE? What makes it a console, which traits does it need to have and which ones it should not have in order to be classified as a console?

Hopefully the @threads API will be accessible (as far as cost) for companies.
