I'm pretty confident that this is starling-proof. We'll see about the squirrels 🫣

Found while cleaning the greenhouse. They seem to be well and healthy, ofc we leave them as they are.

This is (even more) aggro than I'd be about React (and, surprisingly, religion), but this line is the pure, uncut truth:

"React is useful for making complex interfaces like Facebook’s or for making otherwise simple interfaces, and their underlying codebases, complex like Facebook’s."

Christ on a cracker, @heydon; leave something for the rest of us!

Not much concrete stuff yet, but I've published the first post in my series about Using The Platform: dev.to/zkat/i-was-isekaid-into…

Over time, I'll fill this out with both what I've done so far, and with any interesting tidbits I'm figuring out along the way. I think it'll be a good exercise for me to document this stuff as its getting built from the ground up. The app is still really early, but I've still learned SO MUCH. I hope you do, too.

Let's hold hands and take down the JavaScript Industrial Complex with the Power of Friendship!

Today I learned, you can have a java(card) implanted into you if you wished to do that for some reason: dangerousthings.com/product/fl…

Finally, a GPG/SSH Smartcard that I cannot lose (well, if I do, I have bigger issues)

In light of the Internet Archive losing its appeal to hachette, I just wanted to point out some websites you should avoid:

* annas-archive.li/
* downmagaz.net/
* ebook-hunter.org/
* forcoder.net/
* freemagazines.top/
* liber3.eth.limo/

If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:

* libgen.is/
* oceanofpdf.com/
* pdfroom.com/
* pdfstop.com/
* pdfdrive.to/
* pdfmagazines.club/
* sci-hub.se/
* singlelogin.re/
* ... or any of the other sites listed at rentry.co/megathread-books

Backwards compatibility is alway tricky. The API methods are one thing, but behaviour is another. Just because an older curl never did a thing does not mean it will never start to.

In this case, the graceful connection shutdown involves operations outside of any application transfers. And some event-based applications are, understandably, surprised by that.

New fiction from me: What happened when we abolished borders.

"In the twilight of the 21st century, humanity was staring into the abyss of declining birthrates.

For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, our numbers as a species were declining every year. Capitalist economies premised on the assumption of infinite growth couldn't cope. Stock markets stagnated, inflation surged out of control. Governments had belatedly tried to address the problem, but every means of encouraging people to have kids—longer parental leave, tax breaks, cash payments, religious scolding—had failed.

Rural villages were emptying out, becoming ghost towns. Grass and weeds pushed up through cracked pavement in silent streets. Abandoned cars decayed on the roadside. Vacant houses were overgrown with vines, dry leaves and birds' nests. Trees sprouted like the vanguard of an invading army as forests spread and reclaimed the urban areas humanity had ceded."

I just registered for a hotel with this pop-up for the title of the person / people staying. It's nice that they tried. They have some combinations, like Dr and Mr, which are often omitted, but they have some weird omissions. Lesbian couples are welcome as long as exactly one has a PhD, but they can't express the option where either both or neither has one. Maybe they know something about correlations between educational levels and sexuality that I don't?

More seriously, there is absolutely nothing in the provision of accommodation that requires you to know the gender of people staying (or whether they have any kind of doctorate), so the easiest way of getting this right is not to ask.

It still mildly annoys me that every hotel I've stayed at for ages has required me to select a title, I've entered Dr, and they then address me as Mr when I check in: why bother collecting data if you're not going to use it?

Take 10 minutes out of your day and read this article by @irene:

Devastating review of the degrowth literature (561 studies):

- 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...'
- [those that do] 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases'
- 'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'
