With @moonspark linking me the original feature proposal for pattern matching in #ruby 2.7, I decided to explore it.

hot take
Every tool is also a hammer, including software. In the case of software, it is absolutely important to analyze the biases inherent in them, because software is political. But they're also tools, and you shouldn't feel guilty for using them as tools if you're also doing the work of understanding their politics.
Why use a CSS framework when you can build your own from some of the best examples?
@design_RG
I mean, like I said in my introduction toot on this instance, I don't personally agree with the political choice to federate with all instances; just as I don't personally agree with the political choice to defederate from all instances that federate with Gab-like instances, because I don't espouse that level of political purity.
I've been spending more time on my personal instance lately, but I like qoto, there are definitely interesting people here and the personal moderation tools are enough to not see who I don't want to see. People who want to completely isolate hate in the fediverse are, strictly imo, not appreciating how difficult that is from an ActivityPub standpoint.

Super exciting that the German Government’s trial of Matrix for use in the Bundeswehr (Ministry of Defense) and elsewhere is now public news!!

Hello world. Bio says the important things. I'm a PhD student using biophysical techniques and computational simulation of molecular systems to understand various aspects of protein behavior and regulation. I always choose FOSS tools where possible in my work. Now lets talk *nix and science!

This paper from 1975 ominously foreshadows the replication crisis and detailing how to prevent it: https://faculty.washington.edu/agg/pdf/Gwald_PsychBull_1975.OCR.pdf
Interesting and somewhat depressing. The current generation of scientists is doing better by looking at incentives, but it's an uphill battle.
It is proven! I am jump_spider on Keybase: https://keybase.io/jump_spider/sigchain#3950c5bd7f3b9a67877a60bb086210f8c89d10afd5d79dccad1b3c937d62ba190f

Yes, I'm in the US, and I agree that's a contributing factor to my weariness with cops.
They chose to be cops though. The safest place on their job is in the station. If they're so afraid, they should stay there or find a more noble profession.
@design_RG
Not just the State, but corporations as well. Having personally been subjected to a wellness check, they have a rote list of questions. The first thing the officer did was casually put his hand on his firearm when I opened the door, just to remind me he had it. The experience left me with the creepy sensation that someone felt the need to send a cop to my door, and had I been in even less sound mind, I might have died.
Has a police "wellness check" for a person with mental health challenges ever actually helped that person? I'll grant at least one instance has happened. What's the ratio though?

Wonderful article from @tindall explaining the concept of unsafe in Rust as well as how the safety guarantees in Rust work compared to other languages.
In Python, the burden of ensuring that raw memory manipulation is safe falls only on the interpreter maintainers and the users of the foreign function interface. In C, that burden is on every single programmer.

Hello, I’m the reel2bits project developper, a #FOSS self-hostable #soundcloud like with #ActivityPub federation.
It’s written in python/flask/vuejs and I need help because of health issues I’m unable to work a lot on it anymore, if you are interested to help me on some of the issues and more specially the ActivityPub part, you can contact me through:
the project matrix channel
the issue tracker
this account
boosts appreciated, thanks.

I bet you $4815162342 that you didn't read that number. You just skipped right over it. You didn't even realize I put a letter in it. No, I didn't, but you went back and looked.
I want my boost right now

One cannot 'meet in the middle' with someone that won't even recognize your humanity. One cannot 'compromise' with a person that thinks reoccurring abuse and harassment is ok. There is no common ground to found with someone who believes enduring toxic communities is a path way to safety, because we all know it's not.
I'm all about working with people to build better spaces, but bigots don't want better spaces. They just want to feel better about their non-sense.
Fuck that and fuck them.
@cb
A valid concern. There's an awesome-self-hosted list on github, I haven't plumbed it in a while, but there might be something on it
@cb
Discovery is difficult right now, but https://matrix.org can possibly cover that use case
@cb
What functionality are you missing from fb groups?
@stevenroose
It's a framework/network for writing distributed apps built on DHTs! It's agent-centric, with each agent having their own "source chain" that is essentially a journal of their activity within the app; entries into the source chain are shared with the app's DHT network and other agent-nodes in the network gossip to ensure that new entries are witnessed, verified, and properly allocated within the DHT.
The framework is written in Rust using proc macros with a javascript test framework called TryORama and currently in alpha right now! Check it out at https://developer.holochain.org
