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!)

Beautiful API references from Swagger/OpenAPI files ✨ - scalar/scalar

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.

Man I hope members of that community read all my posts and see my nuance otherwise I am NOT going to be invited to the indieweb picnic :(

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.

every john oliver segment: "...that would be like if we made a sloth the white house's Chief Economist, YOU CAN'T COUNT THE MONEY SLOTHY, YOU'VE ONLY GOT THREE FINGERS!!! Anyway unless multilateral action is taken to stop the ongoing genocide in Palestine..."

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

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.

These are all separate vectors: 1. VC vs user-supported 2. Files vs databases 3. Open vs proprietary formats 4. Open vs closed source 5. Extensible vs non-extensible 6. Private vs privacy-invasive An open source app can be VC-backed, store its data in a proprietary format, have terrible APIs, and include telemetry

watching the episode of queer eye set at the lousiana school for the deaf (which is the campus my father went to when he went blind! we love it) and it's clear that they were using translators and assistive technology throughout the shoot, but they removed all of it from the final cut which, I don't know, feels like a choice to me

i know i disappeared, but i’m in the trenches of the seasonal sads, will be back soon!

Trying to do a career change into a predominantly academic and NGO driven field in an ongoing pandemic which means I don’t want to work in an office, and in a country in which I’m not fluent in the native language, is certainly a decision I have made
