Though it's tempting to get out the world's tiniest violin when Sam Bankman-Fried complains about his peanut butter sandwiches, it should make you wonder: if even he can't have his basic needs met in jail, what about the less privileged? https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/sam-bankman-frieds-jail-conditions #SBF #FTX #crypto #cryptocurrency #PrisonersRights

Beginning to think about how to approach #FOSDEM next year, as it's officially become an opportunity I can't miss. But I both value my health and can't take unnecessary risks with COVID, and I authored and signed the @phpledge@floss.social. I foresee lots of time spent bundled up outdoors, or maybe a fringe event. Maybe I can work with a subset of DevRoom organizers to put common sense precautions in place, such people like me can actually participate. Hmmm... 🤔

https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/111035301809333340 I don't think people realize just how much 'marketing gender' shapes our commercial world. This is the stuff of Gender: "Men" "Women" "Kids" This is why when you get the gender bit set as you browse the web without an ad blocker, ALL your ads change. Want to avoid cryptocurrency ads? Look up wedding stuff before visiting anything related to software development. Not to say you won't get even more horrifying things, but you will be coded as 'women'. Oh wait, I'm hearing _men get married too?_ that can't be right. Only women look at wedding things.

the LGBT community was created as a merger between the south korean LG corporation, formerly known as Lucky-Goldstar, and the british telecommunations holding company BT Group.

"I keep thinking about those women who faced the wrath of their community, of everyone they cared about, to say that they were violently raped by a famous man with even more famous friends." I wrote about Danny Masterson, Ashton Kutcher, and Mila Kunis. https://www.patreon.com/posts/88995093

Ok ok this household is switching to Firefox 😩

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me thanks ❤️ yesterday was actually the anniversary of the day we realized I did. Unlike many I have seen a ton of progress. One of the hardest years of my life for sure though.

Computer keyboards should have a removable crumb tray, like a toaster.

Though I'm sure I thought of this one as embarrassing at some point, I now love it — it's little me telling me I've got this in what looks like peak 90's clothing & pose, with a superlative confident grin 😄

DHH essentially saying code-of-conducts on projects he maintains don’t apply to him is deeply troubling. Yes, it’s “only” on how he rudely pushed through a controversial change this time but it exposes a “rules don’t apply to me” mentality that goes way beyond that. And a lot of younger men in the community look up to him and try to emulate him.

I'm writing this from Brooklyn and will probably be at work as you read it. Today's the day I came into this world, and I think about it a lot in the months...

The most difficult thing about writing for me is trying to find a purpose to do so on demand. I've been wanting to give y'all an update but almost daily, a...

I wrote another newsletter entry at https://buttondown.email/jackyalcine/archive/ive-been-laid-off/. Taking this weekend to focus on important things but also to do something I do enjoy doing; and that's tinkering with side projects and/or reading some comics. Tonight, I'll be reading Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search inbetween builds and when I want to take a little thinking break. I'll be working on making #Koype a bit more ready for me to talk about more concretely but from way down the pipe. Right now, I'm focusing on fixing up RPC logic. And yes, there's RPC in my blog setup because it's definitely a lot more than a blog (again, why I need to write more about this, lol). The process of me doing this today: is a bit manual (I write locally, tether over my phone to my laptop, make this post, write it in manual HTML in quill.p3k.io and make sure to syndicate it from my site (though that's just a button in Quill itself to enable). My hope is to write this from some native client on my desktop, pick up my phone - edit it and then open my website and see the final change there. That's because I want to get to a point where I don't have to be online to "blog" or just record my life to the extent that I want to. But again, relaxing. Part of relaxing is allowing myself to dream (lol) and… https://jacky.wtf/2023/9/GGtY

@chriscoyier@front-end.social For everyone who wants to read more, the IndieWeb wiki also lists a few ways to cross-post / syndicate your posts or links (aka POSSE): https://indieweb.org/POSSE

If you’re blogging like I’m doing here, it’s nice to be able to kick your posts out automatically to social networks (in addition to RSS). A reasonable list right now: There are many more sites we’d consider social networks, but they aren’t as obviously a good fit for sharing blog posts. Instagram is a big […]

#TIL about "are the types wrong?" which is a nice little web interface to tell you if you messed up exporting your typescript types. https://arethetypeswrong.github.io/?p=streaming-iterables%408.0.0

stream idea: say you're going to play starfield and just play no man's sky and refuse to acknowledge it

It can often be very helpful to learn from folks in other programming communities. For example, something Rubyists know that JS/TS folks could learn is to not pay any attention to what DHH has to say.

one of the onboarding projects for one of my coworkers was sun-setting a website. turn it into a static site, preserve the URLs, make it obvious that it's there for posterity but no longer being updated. years later she thinks that's one of the most satisfying feels: there is a process for letting things go. 🍂

People who keep shouting it's unethical to be on Twitter now I have some fucking questions. You still buying at fast fashion outlets? Driving cars? Flying in airplanes? You eating Tyson Chicken? Do you try to keep slave labor out of your coffee? Or do you just not like evil when it feels a little too in your face?

@voxpelli Just wanted to thank you for all your support and advocacy on StackAid. We've definitely been silent for a while. A few things have come up that demanded our attention elsewhere but we're still very committed to StackAid and are busy renewing our efforts.

Everything that people have forwarded me about developer productivity lately sure is a mojo dojo casa house

I landed a change as part of this release! Great to see jq back with some momentum behind it again. https://github.com/jqlang/jq/releases/tag/jq-1.7

Well, this is new. I'm part of something Award Winning! Good job all! https://twitter.com/InfobipDev/status/1700165580181946715?t=EbekRr5yh4qR4FrigHYXuQ&s=19

"Rockstar just proved how important piracy is for game preservation" https://www.dsogaming.com/news/rockstar-just-proved-how-important-piracy-is-for-game-preservation/ > Discovered by modder ‘Silent’, the Steam version of Midnight Club 2 is actually the version that the scene group “Razor 1911” cracked back in 2003. Let me repeat that. Rockstar was selling on Steam a cracked copy of its game. #digipres
