Fellow Canadians, would you like to sign up to be a FluWatcher and help the government track covid and flu cases?
They send out one short survey each week that asks if you’ve had symptoms like a fever or cough. It takes me less than 30 seconds to fill out: cnphi.canada.ca/fluWatcher/reg…

Reaper made Easy Q&A coming up this Saturday 26 Oct.
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. The part where we listen to things people have shared and give them objective feedback has been getting popular, so if you've got something you want our take on, don't snooze on getting that uploaded, we can only play a couple things each month and most of the time, it's gonna be first come first serve.
As always, any amount of experience is welcome, and we do our best to make sure newcomers get their questions answered.
See ya there,
scott and Jen

“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”
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".

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!

This letter written by Charles Babbage in 1840 is fascinating ...
... since it appears to be his earliest ever attempt to describe computational recursion in plain language
He *had* to use plain language -- the very concepts he was struggling to enunciate didn't yet have names
As Bruce Sterling puts it, this passage is “a breathless, painful description of the unique ability of software to operate on itself”
Item #12 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter, free here: buttondown.com/clivethompson/a…
![A letter handwritten by Charles Babbage, in a neat script. It reads, in part: "“Those who are acquainted with the loom are aware that by means of cards having certain holes punched in them it is possible to weave with the SAME loom ANY design however complicated. The design is translated into cards and these direct the motions of the threads. By similar means the motions of the Calculating Engine are directed. Any formula however complicated is translated into cards and these being placed in the Engine it works out that particular formula and gives its numerical value”. “In one respect however it advances beyond the cards of Jacard. For in the case of the development of functions it backs the cards more or less so as to repeat the operation according to any assigned laws thus enabling a small number of cards to supply the place of a great many and rendering it unnecessary to effect the algebraic redevelopment of a function in order to make the cards the LAWS of that development only being communicated by the cards”.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/602287 "A letter handwritten by Charles Babbage, in a neat script.
