The calculator is now usable.
It returns a page with a table.

Sure, it's not pretty and there's plenty of stuff to improve, but it'll work for now.

I'll try to upload it to my server so that other people can tell me whether it works

Capitaneria di Porto, possiamo attraccare?
Sicuro, quante armi avete portato?
Eh, non sono sicuro, mando un ragazzo a contarle, ci risentiamo tra un po'

calcular, here we are; it now should work with any mastodon instance.
I now have to make the tables render correctly and I might have a first publishable draft.

Sure, a bunch of stuff could be done.
Though I know nothing about semantics.

Eventually I'll put an option to allow me to store the results, so that I can do some further analysis, such as what's the relation among and insularity or number of followed people.

Right now I'll start without storing anything at all, so that the 75% of mastodon that is privacy conscious doesn't come to kill me and so that I don't have to set up a database

Used to play Killing Floor as medic

Exactly like this

That's the fun part, it would be too easy and boring if everyone was playing decently and not getting hurt

The calculator has been deemed a good formative project in view of other works I'll have to do using Django.
Thus making the calculator is now basically my job.

Thank you @GustavinoBevilacqua, I'm now being paid to make a joke...

I'm open to collaborations with other research groups who want to waste some of their time dicking on Mastodon!

È un modo pessimo per navigare l'applicazione

@leodurruti
Però c'è da dire che se continui a scorrere passa comunque a quelle pubbliche

Si, è molto scomodo...
Tempo fa ho visto una cosa figa in un app che aveva un mio amico

Una cosa del genere non sarebbe male

Macché, se vuoi andare noi ti paghiamo pure il carburante senza problemi, però la nave no che non ci sono fondi
Devi usare la tua nave personale e poi fare richiesta per il rimborso del carburante

It's not that stuff compulsory has to be made out of plastic, you have a bunch of other materials you could use, and all of them work terribly for modern applications.

Finding an alternative to plastics is quite a complex challenge, it will be easier for now to find a way to produce plastics without petroleum.
This is rather important, since we strongly rely on plastics and we need them also when petroleum finishes.
Moreover, we will need petroleum for other things which might be considered more important, such as medicines.

Hi, I'm Brian.

I'm a PhD Materials Scientist at MIT who works part time as a staff instructor and a consultant for various companies. I love mentoring people and helping companies turn scientific curiosities into useful devices to help the world.

I've also worked in chemicals, electrical engineering, bioengineering, physics, and mechanical engineering.

It's been years that I'm having to dual boot Windows to run a specific software I need to work.
They told me I could use wine but as far as I've seen Illustrator runs slow and this specific one doesn't run at all.

I just realized I have such a powerful computer I can just use a Windows virtual machine!
I recently started a new commission and next week I'll start working with this software; I'll see how that works.

fedi platforms should have a way to show only a person's original posts, filtering out all of their boosts

i'm looking through someone's mastodon profile right now and i'm on like page 5 and have only seen one (1) original post

@diorama
Come sta andando?
La prossima volta che passo da Roma voglio vederti alle Jam!

@diorama
In effetti un meccanismo di navigazione un po' più rapido non sarebbe male

@twisterrm tu qualche tempo fa hai mica offerto l'utilizzo di un dominio?
Solo che gustavino.61coj.one mi sembra un po' offensivo...

Alright, I kept working on the calculator and I was able to get the OAuth to work!!
Sure, it currently only works with qoto.org, but this was just an experiment to understand how the hell that should work.
I already made it so that it prints the table in a webpage.

Some CSS might help here...

Alright, so here, without a finished software I'll begin my call for help.
I obviously wish not to spend a single euro on this, I believe my time is already enough.

Soooo, does anyone have a server to host it or at least a subdomain to point at my server?
I could definitely put it on my old server, but a subdomain will be required as I would prefer not using my main domain.

Davvero? Hai da recuperare, che è veramente ottimo.
Però dannazione, mi ero ripromesso di non rivederlo prima dei 35...
