@[email protected] I would tell the choir to join in on singing the truth of this, but they're all too tired
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Thing is, I can't help suspecting that each time these people are so pleased with themselves for having come up with their very own, very unique, cunning plan.
Y'all are missing out on a major investment opportunity. @[email protected] is already moving to secure her cut of the vegan human rights (and gluten) free alternative brain industry.
I mean, that's got to be worth paying at least for to six times the cost of non-certified brain alternative provision, right? At least based off how much I get charged for gluten free food...
@[email protected] No I strongly suspect that would rapidly cause me permanent damage. But for a small, small, fee of 1 billion dollars I will produce something I like to call a "vegan human rights free brain alternative" that will turn anything you desire into LinkedIn posts with only minor side effects to people who mostly aren't me (such as the collapse of copyright law, psychosis, etc, etc)

@[email protected] I finally got around to doing something about this, and wanted to say thanks for the discussion and pointing me to activitybot; it lead to a much simpler solution than I'd originally thought of, even if it ended up going in a different direction to activitybot (I'm federating rss by running an ap client rather than an ap server)
@blog In case you're browsing over to the blog because you're curious what the comments look like... they look like this.
bonfire.mavnn.eu/pub/objects...
So this is very much a work in progress (see me having to quote the post to add the hashtags...), but meet fediverss - a simple F# program that puts your static blog rss in the fediverse. #activitypub #fsharp #blog
@[email protected] ah yes, a close relative of the famous glance behind you at the 4 metre high projection of your slides at a conference while talking and spot the spelling mistake moment.
@[email protected] I... both do, and very much do not, want to know where they get the rest of their discourse.

@[email protected] The bank had around 2,000 branches and we were due to ship multiple copies to all of them, to give a sense of scale. Full colour printing in 1999 wasn't cheap, either.

@[email protected] I worked in desktop publishing for a while in a large bank in the UK, producing things like product leftlets and terms and conditions sheets (exciting, I know).
The bank and a printing company jointly paid one contract night security guard a significant amount of money as a thank you after he happened to spot at the beginning of his shift that one of the pages of a 70+ page full colour brouchure was upside down, an error missed by the people at both the bank and the print house. All because he got bored enough to flick through the test print left lying around before the overnight run started.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Case in point: I use strong IDs in my TypeScript and Haskell projects, but I don't in my F# project that uses Marten. And it isn't because of Marten's support for them or not; it's the amount of hassle it causes in other places and the annoying nagging feeling of taking a run time overhead for code that is less pleasant to work with.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I'm not a fan in general for a lot of other reasons, but the fact that TypeScript types only exist at compile time (and you can tell the compiler to ignore them) does make things like strongly typed IDs easier to deal with. Generated code can just throw the types away, while user facing code gets type safety (for the value of safety TS allows at the best of times) on ID types without run time impact. Haskell allows alias types that have similar properties.
It's not really the kind of thing the dotnet type system is set up to deal with gracefully though.

@[email protected] @[email protected] hmm. I don't seem to have an advanced option. Am I looking in the right place?
@[email protected] @[email protected] Don't forget the stirring counter clockwise and reflected light of the new moon. It adds a faint aroma of catnip and cinnamon to the brew, and an inexplicable sense of satisfaction when sitting in small boxes for days after drinking.
@blog tagging for some visibility for #creativewriting, #homeed, and #interactivefiction.
I'm going to have a moment of personal satisfaction. Adding a comment system running on my own infrastructure has revealed that my blog post introducing TypeScript developers to the Effect library (blog.mavnn.eu/2024/09/16/int...) has at least one person who just has it open basically all of the time.
Which means people are still finding it helpful enough to reference frequently 18 months after I wrote it, which gives me the warm fuzzies.
Okay, this post is aimed at people I've either worked with or known for a while. I have a friend of a friend looking for a #wordpress expert to help with a project that is mostly completed but has had to be dropped by the original developer. Spec looks good and detailed, requirements seem sane. I need to know you well enough to be able to genuinely recommend you, and you need to know WordPress well enough to deal with several largish plugins that include some bespoke tweaks.
Anyone interested?

Hmm. That said, I also seem to have lost the ability to update posts via the UI on #bonfire 1.0.2. I didn't spot exactly when the option disappeared from the menu.
