Maybe it would have been smart to add a mandatory "null" or "n/a" option to the Question<>Response ActivityPub interaction.

For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

--

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.

I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.

This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

@rml
Do you know any small (?) projects I could browse to learn by example?

I've been trying to get into for ages, but most tutorials are either philosophical/historical or only cover the basics. Take hautils[1], a collection of small POSIX utilities written in /#harelang, which demonstrates digestible common programming practices, which would be out of scope for the official tutorial. Is there an analogue project for scheme?

Feel free to boost.

Okay, fine, actual #introduction . I've been on the Internet or social media by the handle Albatross since 1977.
In 1983 I created the world's first #MMORPG company, GamBit MultiSystems, and our franchisees went on to start some big-name game companies.
In 1991 I helped co-write the Internet Gopher protocol, RFC 1436.
I've been in infosec since 1996 and I'm heartily tired of keyboards.
I've written books and plays and shoot pictures. I have 3 terrific adult kids.
