As the end of October sneaks up like a cobra,
this Saturday brings Q&A, Jen might even stay sober.
Either way, Jenny K, Shay and muggins here will be there,
Helping peeps with the Reaps, til I'm too hungry to care.
Usual start time, 8PM UK, 3PM Eastern, or the equivalent time wherever you lay your hat.
TeamTalk details, a calendar invite and a way to send us something to play are all over at reaperteacher.com.

I want something like callgrind but that will let me make a plot of function call depth vs. stack space consumed.
Librsvg consumes a lot of stack. I've been reducing it gradually, but finding the functions that could be putting temporary stuff in the heap is very manual work.
“our lead shares our philosophy that technology should serve the user, not the reverse
this is why they focus on blockchains, a technology basically always used at the expense of its users”
i do think the degree to which bluesky is stressing that they do not use blockchains really underscores how toxic even a faint whiff of blockchain has become to any normal platform
This is why I have been trying to warn about #BlueSky.
BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:
bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
The board member is a bitcoin researcher involved with NFT analytics.
BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".

Pracovat na těchhle španělských kultovkách je radost.

Těšte se na hybridní hantecíček, zpotvořenou němčinu, slovní hříčky vázané na obraz (dík, komikse ❤️) a originální citoslovce od mého manžela, protože já nikdy nevím, co to dělá za zvuk, když někdo třeba maluje barvou zeď. @stepan ví, že "šmrdli šmrdli". 🤷♀️
A long two days of coding, but I've finally got a good method of sending #Grafana and #Cloudflare alerts to #XMPP set up: github.com/deuill/webhook-gate…
A number of similar projects exist, but none that could set up multiple pipelines/gateways. Hopefully this is useful to someone; blog-post covering the setup here, including deployment on the Google Cloud Run free tier, is coming soon!

I suspect this relates to a specific kind of list control, but in certain apps, as I flick left or right through items, VoiceOver just goes silent on certain items. Sometimes, if you flick left to the previous item and then right to get back to the item that wasn’t speaking before, you hear the item, at other times you don’t, and the only way to hear the currently focussed item is to perform a three-finger single tap.
I am seeing this after trying several voices, and making a few other changes that I thought might work around the problem. So far, I haven’t found a fix.
I am seeing this in a list of articles in the Lire RSS Reader, it’s happening a little here in Mona, and it is also reproduceable if I go into VoiceOver settings and flick through the items in the What’s New in VoiceOver screen.
It is speech only. If you have a Braille display connected, you can read the item in Braille even when VoiceOver doesn’t speak it.
I’d be curious to know if others are seeing it, because if it is widespread, it could be a reason for those who rely heavily on their iPhones to give the public beta a miss assuming this first build goes out to public beta.
