Hexagonal growth in a black olive tree.

This was literally the complaint of the weavers against industrial looms. They spent decades honing their craft, and their boss comes in with a device that mass produces inferior copies of their patterns, and fires them. Is anyone today going to argue against mass production of cloth?

reading the The Pragmatic Programmer mostly for the artisan vibes atm

so how do *you* explain relationship anarchy to people and does your explanation also involve cats?

Software is arguably the world's most understaffed industry — everyone you ever meet is stretched thin, every company is 'lean' (running on a box of scraps held together with glue by 3-5 people over 20 years). there need to be at least 3x more SWEs employed everywhere

if you're using it, gleam-atproto releases atproto_core 0.2.1 atproto_client 0.4.1 atproto_browser 0.3.1 atproto_lexicon 0.3.1 updates relevant dependencies and some strictness fixes around oauth, full details at the linked changelog page mostly

I'm getting like kinda nervous about all the cyber shit

with all the cyber sec stuff going on I decided to patch up gleam-atproto a bit, in the process discovering the release tooling that was made for it is not so great I don't think anyone seriously uses this library but if you are and/or interested in what's up hmu

php is probably the Great Filter, huh

PHP is burning. Node is burning. GitLab is burning. The certificate authorities have apparently been generating their private keys with an enchanted D6.

let's just do all the cves at once, so we can patch all our stuff in one go

finally picked up new meds, wanted to store them in a place I'd not lose them, found my old meds. which I had lost.

computer vision experiment continues, turns out the most common theme across my app.bsky.feed.like are @fleetingbits.bsky.social cats

The internet can’t be that hard to keep secure, right? It’s just a few computers networked together right?

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

>I wake up >international security infrastructure has further collapsed

did anyone make this joke already? (fwiw I also grew up on PHP and I have a soft spot for it)

I don't want to hear any whining about fixing certs from the information security types today. you chose to join the techno-priest caste, now shut up and perform the rites of exorcism

Galaxy brain: what happens when we lose public-key cryptography because of quantum computing or the next generation of LLMs Reality: hey man my private key is '13' lol

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

did you know pinterest developer policy doesn't allow you to use their api for archival purposes? did you also know I'm a petty b*tch with an atproto brain

I see you’ve met my parents

The whole "only browsers are okay and everything else is hosed" is a pretty friggin bad state of affairs, tbh. We ought to do better as an industry.

Typescript has been rewritten in Rust blog.cloudflare.com/typescript-r...

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

We've accelerated software production while leaving the institutions that govern software production largely unchanged. And then people look at the resulting congestion and conclude that AI coding isn't delivering the promised productivity gains.

empathising with the humble IKEA shelf because I too get a little more banged up every time I get taken apart and reassembled across state lines

“conscious” vs “unconscious” “being” vs “non-being” “intelligent” vs “unintelligent” these are dualistic anthropocentric framings that i reject outright

turns out if you run sftp server on a ✨ modified ✨ 3ds you obviously can task an llm with pkhex based archival of 20 year old Pokemon saves. Trading / archiving / banking on atproto lives rent free in my head at this point

Understandable, goodbye.

No it totally tracks. Atproto basically is an object publishing network

“babe what’s posthog? what’s datadog? What’s firecrawl? what’s what’s gnomefuckr? what’s cuckdb? what’s slutcon?” do you have any idea how humiliating being a software engineer is

swe/architect/tech lead, 13 years of commercial experience, mainly backend; data regulations & compliance, ex-Opera and some other fun names, rust/py preferred but will work in anything as long as i get a cool job title, pls let me fondle inference and/or harnesses

padawan at the weekly all hands:

Today in the future weird: major Dutch supermarket being out of whole categories of products due to day 3 (??) of cyberattack

🙋‍♂️ so, what are the git forges you are using - or want to be using? asking for … reasons. (would appreciate sharing for reach)

a bit late to the party but absentmindedly watching project hail mary while doing house while doing housework after reading the book the past week or so and it making me feel things

ICYMI: lack of medication cascading failure into locking myself out of access to phone, all online banking and most SSO for a week is really poor timing with trying to buy a house, would not recommend. On a more positive front, phone back, medication almost back, house buying attempt progressing
