@bsky.app any idea what all this is doing in my FYP?

I currently have no strong feelings about Andy Burnham. I don’t know a ton about him. But I do think his potential grasp for PM should be contested, if only so that there is a choice. Wouldn’t it be funny if Corbyn and Millibamd threw their names in the hat too tho

When she is dozing off and gathered enough energy to utter one or two more words before she’s asleep ❤️🥰

Wild split in the Brum elections. 6 remaining to be called. Labour didn’t do themselves any favours this year with all the bin strikes.

The kid is reading herself Fox in Socks at bedtime. Top choice.

Think I’ve finally got the fix for a redis instance maxxing and just flushing all its entries. Web host pings / every minute or so to keep processes alive (and health checks) and each time, new session, new cache entry. Let’s see what the charts are like tomorrow.

I swear bsky seems to follow new people for me. Am I subscribed to something that does it for me? Was it one of those starter packs? How would I know. 196 following today for the record.

Kids asleep. Santa dropped off the stocking. Time for the Christmas Eve Baked Camembert, my new tradition

Just had to email my kids school cos their newsletters (maybe via their pupil management tool) is being sent via sendgrid (maybe via their SIM system) and no one did the domain validation so all the emails head right to spam. 😢

TIL about browser System colours while debugging some blue UI elements on iPad blog.jim-nielsen.com/2021/css-sys...

Are there any good free tools for user product usage monitoring? Use clicks, Interactions etc.

Cmd T go to file Cmd R go to symbol Cmd shift P command palette Everything else is probably wrong

@ihnatko.bsky.social just caught an episode of MythBusters featuring a comment from an “ihnatko” about punching out of a paper bag and thought “could it be the famous Andy himself?”

Watching LLMs try to reason with and lint Stimulus controllers is funny. Lots of “sorry let’s try another way” before it ultimately fails.

I love Docker I hate Docker

Thank goodness for @marcoroth.dev’s Herb linter finding SO many broken bits of html. Just goes to show how much work the browser does to fix your janky code

“We ruined the country for 14 solid years and now look at it” Not even an original idea in their heads.

Virtue signalling works both ways. Depends on your perspectives.

Reached the point where I need to make a way to send a copy of every email in our systems for testing. I’m up to 41 in the list so far. And that’s skipping a bunch too.

Got a weird case with Prosopite suggesting I add an includes to a query, and when I do and run it, the query doesn't make 1bn db calls, but prosopite tells me to remove the query and when I do, it makes 1bn db calls.

This alone is worth the Apple Music subscription fee music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

OK now Bsky added bookmarks how do I find all the stuff I wish I’d bookmarked.

Are there any good oauth solutions for custom providers for @nuxt.com ? Found one that seemingly has no use and doesn’t seem like it does oauth properly. And another that only supports a given list of providers, not custom. Probably need to GPT my own.

Dear @bsky.app and other app makers, make sure your login works nicely with password managers and iOS’s 2FA code auto discovery plz

Doing a bit of cleanup on some old Vue components built a while ago with fetch, nice to strip out 40+ lines of code and drop in one useFetch to clean it all up. Sorting out bugs I’ve been meaning too for weeks

Nice to get some database maintenance stuff in place. Cut the size by~80% (not that I did any of this). All these cleanup tasks buried in documentation that cause db’s to swell in size.
