tomorrow we'll pass 1/2 million what the what
I'm curious to know if the fediverse, or any social network, has a clear idea of its number of active human participants. Number of accounts is maybe useful to some degree as a gauge of interest (i.e, interested enough to make a bot, or check it out once) but 'like it enough to stay & play' seems like a much better thing to know about if it's possible. Maybe it isn't, that feels likely. Presumably there's many abandoned accounts, but I daresay many people also just like to be quiet & spectate.
Realization: I don't want to follow "people", I want to follow "topics".
I follow "people" because they say interesting things on topics that interest.
But they also go on and on about things I don't care about and would happily skip.
I'm also missing out on a bunch of good posts because I haven't found and followed these people yet.
It should be possible to create topics, allow users to follow and post to topic.
Like Reddit, but decentralized and federated.
The instance which you can write a numerical formula has been made.

remember, the results of the science march are inconclusive -- we need to conduct many more marches to study their effects, and for a proper double blind, everyone needs to be in black bloc

Released a blog post about switching between #C #cpp, #javascript, and #rust! Check it out! :D
So while listening to #C++ Cppcast on my way to work, I heard Jason Turner mentioned static initialization and how it can affect initial load times.
Turns out he did a C++ Weekly video on this topic:
Kept running out of memory (I've got 1GB) on a cloud instance I'm running on digital ocean, setting up a swapfile fixed that though! :D
```
sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
```
