Attached: 2 images Google, following the industry trend to AI-all-the-things, has released Magika - a machine learning model which can identify file types. It claims it can outperform traditional methods by 20 per cent. I pitted it against BSD File on something I figured Google hadn't included in its million-file-strong corpus: CU Amiga's Mega CD-ROM coverdisc from November 1995. Magika identified... one file correctly, a plain-text document. File? File got 'em all, and quicker too. (An unfair test, I know!)
Robby has a conversation with John Nunemaker, the Owner at “Box Out Sports” and “Fewer & Faster”, about the crucial importance of keeping dependencies and versions up to date when maintaining software projects, the benefits of using tools like Dependabot to help with dependency management, how dangerous a change is from a dependency, how John enjoys seeking out the dark corners of a codebase to improve those areas, and much more. Stay tuned!
Very excited to see that the videos from #StateOfOpenCon #SOOCon24 are up - so if you missed my talk Quantifying Your Reliance on Open Source Software with #DependencyManagementData, you can find the recording on YouTube.

Mastodon and brid.gy: yes, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org should have expected such a reaction from Mastodonians, and obviously didn’t research it. But fuck me I didn’t expect to see *every* single Weeb, Furry and gendernaut come out to rattle their maracas in his face and claim he was going to get people killed.

If you're able to see this post (on the Fediverse) yay! That means your admin hasn't blocked Bridgy Fed which I use to bridge my website with the Fediverse so I can chat to y'all.
This is likely due to recent discussion around the upcoming BlueSky bridge and opt-out being the default decision.
I don't dispute the freedom or choice to block Bridgy, and am definitely taking some time to think about how I feel about the varying thoughts, but the main thing is that it looks like several admins have blocked Bridgy altogether, resulting in not just the blocking of the upcoming BlueSky bridge (at a separate domain under brid.gy
) but also classes Bridgy as Tier 0
:
Tier 0 is a combined blocklist of only the worst actors, and it exists to provide one blocklist to which surely no one can object as a baseline for others. It's the perfect starting list for any new mastodon admin.
So it could be my time interacting with the Fediverse is going to be cut short, and I'll be screaming into the void very much moreso 😅

I love owning a house now it's like should we do preventative maintenance on (a million things) or should we put motorized blinds in to the family room for when we watch tv and films. This also explains why all software is bad.

The open-source ecosystem experienced a monumental shift in 2023, as detailed by Martin Woodward, VP of Developer Relations at GitHub, on the Mechanical Ink Podcast. The Octoverse report highlighted that more first-time contributors joined the open-source community than ever before. But why?

How I switched my side project from using Amazon S3 for file hosting to using Tigris (which is built on Fly.io infrastructure). It was a good experience overall, but there were a few quirks.
If you missed my talks at FOSDEM, the slides / videos are online now. I was on an all-star panel about making a career out of open source, and I gave a talk in the community devroom about strategies for building healthy communities.

Shower thought: With all the data breaches, no matter how private you may be, somewhere in the world exists a hacker that knows exactly what kinks you're into, but is too shy to say hello.
In response to @cadey@pony.social's blog post about wanting retry loops in #Golang, I wrote terrible hack using using the proposed iterator syntax. https://go.dev/play/?v=gotip var err error for range backoff(&err, 1 * time.Second) { if err = something1(); err != nil { continue } if err = something2() ; err != nil { continue } }

I’m uncomfortable with my appearance a lot and do not like to draw attention to myself as a sexual object and/or object of desire, so I’ll be brief but Even in the test garments I wore for three hours for the purposes of fitting, adjustment and colour/feature choosing of this suit: if you were already attracted to me then you’d have awooga eyes if you could have seen me in them
@shockwaver@strangeobject.space I really like the term "temporarily-abled" for describing abled people for this reason. All abled people are only temporarily abled, unless they die suddenly while their bodies are still intact. The more people recognize the ephemeral nature of ability, the more compassionate we become as a society, I hope.

Last summer I started to get clued in to how colonialism manifests in domain names, so I began to let a number of "my" domain names lapse. One hadn't expired yet... but its time has come. This morning: > Afghanistan ccTLD Network Information Center ( af NIC ) > inclusive.af has been suspended in the registry and will no longer be included in zone file generation. This means that any services connected with this domain, such as websites or email addresses will cease working shortly.

Lots of men in tech see women in tech either as sexual tensions for their own enjoyment or as mentoring opportunities, but never as their equals. This needs to stop. #WomenInTech
