Got continuous delivery working with #rust and #Github, they use HMAC SHA1 hashes to verify the push event, cool jazz 🎷!
Construction or Traffic, you can have 1, the other, or both. 🙃
Currently using #mattermosthq as a Slack alternative with my research team, it's powered by #react, #go, and #postgres, nice and simple! 😁

Finally starting to notice this striking inverse correlation between
- whether something is confusing
- whether you've read a book about it
This "google things as you need them" habit, I think, It's actually pretty bad
Somehow I taught myself this helplessness. Struggle over years. Feel like I'll never get it.
Have you read a book about it?
Well, no
🚗 I've added a feature to https://alain.xyz that auto-deploys changes to the site whenever a commit to the master branch occurs. This is through Github Hooks and a #rust daemon powered by Nickel. Got to love continuous delivery. :3
Why AI is /not/ the answer to the problem of overwhelming complexity in science.
could #mastodon hit a million users by mid May? I think it is possible....
AGPL was a bold pick for the Mastodon license. It means that anyone running the software is obligated to share any changes they make with people who use it - even if all those changes are on the server side, and the users are just people who visit the site. This is much more restrictive than regular GPL, which doesn't count it as "distribution" people only access via the web.
Corporate entities are going to stay the hell away from any AGPL code. I guess that's the point.
Being self-employed with your hobby as your job is a good way to never take any time off.
Which is a good way to burn out.
I always struggle with finding a balance.
If you're using `process.on` in #node/#javascript to close database connections, make sure to add a `process.exit()` at the end, otherwise the process well, won't end. 😶
"Outside of some brand specific background-images, gradients, and colors etc., the overwhelming majority of css you would need for your site has already been written. Yet we continue as a community to constantly reinvent the wheel. Which is starting to feel like building a camera from scratch every time you want to take a photo."

From March 2016 but saw it re-linked today by Colm Tuite.
I think I'll go and read a book. Which is a cryptoword for me taking a nap.
Are there any easy/free/cheap web statistics tracking options that I can use for my personal website that either don't require JS, or that at least respect users' privacy to a large degree? Feels like a tough tradeoff, but I'd like to at least know how people are getting to my site, and which pages they're visiting. #javascript #privacy #web #webdev
Never bothered to beat Gwyn in #DarkSouls 1, broke my heart to see the game end. That same feeling arises with the final DLC boss for Dark Souls 3.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, AS A SPEAR OF THE CHURCH I AIN'T LETTING YOU FINISH THE GAME EITHER! 💔

The Complacent Class by Tyler Cowen is a #book about the lack of mobility and entrepreneurship that has been steadily increasing in the United States.
