The state of maturin/pyo3 is absolutely brilliant. The fact that writing Rust bindings for Python is so easy now really makes me much more optimistic about the utility of Python going forward. The experimental MiniJinja Python bindings are tiny and use zero unsafe code. github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja…

Aún no había compartido por aquí la playlist con la ruta de #lavaderos que organicé en @casatiajulia hace unos años. Vino mi amiga Bea, que es antropóloga (especialista en lavaderos, como espacios de socialización femenina) y las señoras del pueblo vinieron al salir de misa. Intenté negociar con el cura la hora de la misa para que no me contraprogramara pero no hubo forma. Al final lo anunciamos con un cartel improvisado en la puerta de la iglesia #mujeres #rural #soria

The Midlands Graduate School (MGS) provides an intensive course of lectures on the Mathematical Foundations of Computing.

cs.bham.ac.uk/~mhe/events/MGS2…

Registration is *not* open yet, but you may wish to know in advance to plan for it.

MGS has run annually since 1999, and is hosted by the Universites of Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham, and Sheffield in rotation. This time it will take place in Birmingham, 2-6 April.

intro! I'm Garrett, a PhD student at Montana State. I'm interested in homotopy type theory and proof assistants (particularly on the "assistant" side, e.g. streamlining their use, implications on written proofs and math communication). besides math, I've played viola for most of my life (and also play piano and percussion, and would *like* to start writing music and poetry), and enjoy watching movies, cooking/baking, playing board games and video games (especially Splatoon!), and hugging friends
in reply to Garrett Figueroa

Yep, that's the one. I like that it starts at the beginning with the type-theory and Martin-Löf stuff. It's a good refresher for me and I always learn a few new things. Get tripped on silly stuff, like I was confused about how the context had only type judgements and nothing about how to construct the types themselves until I learned somewhere else that the rules to construct a type don't go in the context. But slowly I am learning more.

🆕 blog! “The IAB loves tracking users. But it hates users tracking them.”

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) is a standards development group for the advertising industry. Their members love tracking users. They want to know where you are, who you're with, what you're buying, and what you think. All so they can convince you to spend sligh…

Before and after I made the door system at the #makerspace ✨different✨.

The RFID reader ended up dying on us, and replacement readers weren't getting along with the ancient custom-built door system. Thankfully, we had an extra #Arduino Uno laying around to bypass the legacy control circuitry (we lost the original source ages ago).

It just needs to last until the lease expires in 5 months, then it can catch fire. For the time being though, this Arduino is load-bearing infrastructure

With the first version of the #TheBadSpace about to come online and some significant under-the-hood changes (FINALLY) getting completed for Fipamo, it's an exciting time for me. I'm looking forward to buckling down on my projects again and getting them out into the world.

That said, resources to continue working are an ongoing challenge, so I'm looking for part-time work to balance it. Ideally, I'm looking for product manager roles, but I'm open to some development and/or design gigs. I'm available for full-time product management roles if they are remote.

This year I want to spend a lot of my time working on and improving my projects, so I'm specifically looking for part-time work that fits my schedule.

I do a ton of stuff, so check this out to get a feel for my skills and experience.

Let's go, fedi. Let's knock this out so I can stay on pace to build cool stuff.

PSA: take some time in 2023 to back up your/your family's CD-Rs (and other recordable media) full of memories you threw into storage 10+ years ago; there's a decent chance they've started to rot!

the tenuously thin layer of dyes/adhesives holding the data *will* break down over time, rapidly so if their environment is uncontrolled, the surface was previously nicked/contaminated, or they were cheap ones to begin with

SUPL-Server nutzen Android-Systeme, um die GPS-Positionsbestimmung zu beschleunigen. Stellt sich heraus, dass die Domain "supl.vodafone.com" nur ein CNAME für "supl.google.com" ist. 🤦

Man meint also, man würde einen etwas datenschutzfreundlicheren SUPL-Server nutzen, aber am anderen Ende hockt dann wieder Google. 😑

Just saw Servo is getting full time developers again in 2023! servo.org/blog/2023/01/16/serv…

Servo is the "write a browser in Rust" project Mozilla started in 2012 (and which created the whole Rust language as part of the work) - they stopped working on it a few years ago

The new development looks like it's backed by Igalia - "a private, worker-owned, employee-run cooperative model consultancy focused on open source software" based in Spain: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igalia

I guess one of the drawbacks of getting back into "Lets run Linux as a primary desktop" is realizing that yeah, the linux community is STILL full of egos that don't like being told what they should and should not do, no matter what the impact on the users.

Case in point gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…

Short version: Gnome maintainers allow their own screenshot tool to run without restriction, but block all others.

Great fun.

Thanks, the link is interesting (if a bit confusing). What i was missing was the 'share' button was not asking for an internet-like share, but was asking permission to send the screenshot to another app.

I can probably work with this (though the page implies once you share it once, you shouldn't have to do it again, at least with a current version of Gnome - am i misisng something?)

TWTR turning off APIs for power user apps breaks the NIGHT CLUB RULE:

Every night club in the world does the same thing: lets some beautiful young things skip the queue and get in the door to make it seem like THE PLACE. They don’t spend a lot, they aren’t walking ATMs. THEY ARE PRODUCING THE VALUE THOUGH.

TWTR is looking at ads as the value, but it's the CONTENT that's the value. Produced by power users.

TWTR is now going to be the equivalent of a disco filled with just gross old dudes.

I have updated my blog post which comments on the way Aira has made it so difficult to find out what blind people will actually pay for their new plans. The post reflects that Aira has now responded, offered an apology, and made the offset plans publicly available. The new information, and links to Aira resources, are at the top of the post. mosen.org/airapricing I appreciate Aira's CEO responding on a long weekend in the US.

Hey there @Tusky may I offer a thought?

When I haven't been reading in a little while and there's a small backlog of posts (resulting in the "LOAD MORE" arm here) I really wish that tapping it would load the backlogged posts *above* where I am in the timeline. (So that I keep my place in the timeline)

Right now, if I tap LOAD MORE it would take that George Takei toot and shove it way down beneath all of the additional items that appear.

Is there another way this might work?

One of the people who did the most to help make Twitter popular -- because his application made it better -- calls it quits after Musk and minions pulled the plug last week on him and many others. He sees great possibilities in the protocol underlying Mastodon, and I can't wait to see what he and people like him do to restore a truly decentralized web: mastodon.social/@chockenberry/…


You want to know how I really feel?

"What bothers me about Twitterrific’s final day is that it was not dignified. There was no advance notice for its creators, customers just got a weird error, and no one is explaining what’s going on. We had no chance to thank customers who have been with us for over a decade. Instead, it’s just another scene in their ongoing shit show.

"But I guess that’s what you should expect from a shitty person."
