Also I wish there were laws against using tracker URLs on unsubscribe links. I'm unsubscribing, you can already record that in your stuff, don't make me have to disable my DNS-based ad-blocker just to tell you that I don't want to receive your shitty emails.

Waiting for the Bell Riots when Bell Riots were already happening everywhere else in the world.

Thought: I'd bet a lot of projects would have fewer dependencies if pip was 100x slower. Maybe we should try to do that.

This was to a @changelog News submitter, but worth sharing publicly: “The post looked interesting, but I hadn't scrolled an inch before I was interrupted by your email newsletter signup overlay. This is a bad reading experience, which we consider when linking to content. A better place for something like this is at the bottom of the post, because it a) lets the reader actually _read_ your post, and b) assures they made it to the end, so might be interested in more of your content.”

I think the ActivityPub based Fediverse is actually not a decentralised distributed network, but is in fact one single person. And that single person enjoys, very specifically, trying to trigger the fight/flight/faun response in me and taking bets with the other protocols on which one I’ll choose next. 🙈

Hard to disagree with @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me's logic here 😉 https://www.jvt.me/posts/2024/02/17/listen-changelog/

One of my favourite things to do in my free time is to tinker with this website. Indeed, this website is the culmination of years of tinkering. I have added features like coffee shop maps that I can share with friends, a way for me to share my bio in two languages, a sitemap.xml file to help search engines find pages on my website, and more.

Code is cumulative overhead. The more you write, the more you have to maintain over time. Self-hosted infrastructure is cumulative overhead. The more you configure and run, the more you have to …

Here's a good example of how I like to use issue threads. The issue opens with a description that includes relevant linked code snippets, documents some design decisions and micro-research I performed, includes the commit that fixes the issue, links to the docs and shows some follow-up work before linking to the release that incorporated the changes Goal is to tell the full story of the problem and its solution so I can fully understand it when I revisit much later https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2277

I’ve never worked somewhere where I felt like we needed chaos engineering. We got more chaos than we could have asked for just from doing regular engineering.

so far: - one "fuck you" - one devil's advocate - one "this guy doesn't understand open source" - two "why can't they just" - one confusing my site with jacobin.org - one weird comment about the NSA never change, HN, never change

There was a bit of a brouhaha earlier this week on the Fediverse because someone wanted to build a bridge between the ActivityPub-powered fediverse and the AT protocol-powered one, i.e. BlueSky. …

Note: I deleted >1000 words and decided to post a summary instead. Jacob Kaplan Moss slacked me his article today because he knew I’d like it, and we have both had ongoing conversations for years about open-source Funding. It’s worth reading. I mistakenly submitted the article to the orange website because I assumed someone else already had it. Oops. I support funding open-source projects. We are trillions of dollars away from providing enough Funding for open-source software before I have the patience to set through any debates about the right or wrong way to fund them.
