Last night a car hit and killed @natenom , a German bicycle activist who was a passionate advocate for road safety. tellerreport.com/life/2024-01-…

The German (speaking) cycling community has been mourning #Natenom since we received the dreadful news this morning. This site shows the locations of some of us who logged into the app "Critical Map" tonight in honour and memory of Natenom.🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

trurl: command line tool for URL parsing and manipulation

One software thing I built at Facebook was called Host — basically a PHP library to manipulate website hostnames without error-prone regular expressions, bad assumptions and “hunting for dots”. It saved a lot of potential problems and a moderate amount of CPU (0.1%+?) and I can see the same thinking here.

If you’re manipulating URLs, you should try this:

#Catima 2.27.0 is out!

Honestly a fairly small release, mostly small UI tweaks and a minor bugfix. But that's fine, it's great when software updates are boring without major changes so there is nothing new to learn :)

Available on #GitHub right now, on #IzzyOnDroid within 24 hours and on other stores when they update (see the FAQ on catima.app for details).

Hope y'all enjoy it :)

The data links past releases as well for reference; generating dynamic data is complicated because it's up to the release team to determine the dates at the start of the cycle. A fix to identify the current date and highlight the next release in the list is appreciated, but don't overengineer what's a simple list of dates, please.

Engineering is a discipline of design through investigation and constraint, with the goal to develop useful products that serve users and help society.

The opposite of engineering is bullshit; substituting fairy tales for inquiry and evidence.

If the tone of my blog tends towards despair, it's because the professionalisation of frontend appears not to have made more engineers, no matter how generously the word gets slathered on CVs:

Such transparent manipulation to get managers to quit without severance.

1. Allow workers to work remotely
2. Shutter local offices
3. Mandate #returnToOffice
4. Attrition!

Remember that this is not the first time IBM pulled this trick. They did the same thing in 2017, when they were being hailed as an innovative company for reducing cost by not having physical offices. They forced people to RTO and caused a bunch of people to quit without severance.

“IBM to managers: Move close to an office or quit”

Hey #furries there's a bill in Oklahoma that was introduced & would punish children for dressing as a furry at school & have them taken away by Animal Control.

Rep. Humphrey has introduced a heap of shitty bills.😭

#OceanCleanup now blocks (close to) all river plastic inflow in Kingston, Jamaica, using various types of Interceptors.

There are those who talk green and those who actually do something about it.

And they are about to start around Mumbai, India, maybe one of the largest problem source in the world. Exciting.

To those who need this app: Menus For All was apparently able to secure new contracts with their vendors after all. So the app will not be going away. I don’t use this but as there was a lot of talk around this I thought I’d let my blind followers know as this app seems to be strangely popular and there seemed to be much upset when they announced the service was going away. apps.apple.com/us/app/menus4al…

So, I’m getting back on track after an unexpected housing emergency that I had to scramble to fix, which has wrecked my already slim budget.

I’ve had to step away for the last couple of days to stabilize my situation, which fortunately has gotten better, but it’s left my funds a little tapped as I spend some resources I hadn’t planned to.

I’d appreciate a hand that gives me some breathing room for the next couple of weeks as I work out a long-term solution so I can be stable for a good stretch to continue working on #TheBadSpace and then #Fipamo.

Thanks in advance, y’all. Sometimes, life just kicks you in the face when you don't expect it, but we press forward.
