Listening to a webdev podcast I enjoy, whenever the show runners bring up Typescript (all the time), I mentally substitute specs.

@mrmcmayhem@noagendasocial.com Wow. Unprovoked toxicity. Nice thing about Mastodon -- BLOCKED.

I was going to ask, "why?" but it sounds like you gave some pretty comprehensive answers above (though I don't read that language). Text Search, geospatial query, time series query, json query. Nice! I didn't know about most of these. Any choice resources to learn more (especially about the time series thing)?

@mrmcmayhem@noagendasocial.com You're one of them, aren't you?

The unsubscribe link for this recruiter email I received includes a UPN identifier of around 700 characters that gets stuck on the URL query args to match the unsubscriber to the email. In all seriousness, why wouldn't a regular 16-char UUID have done the trick? I thought the whole point of UUIDs is that they would be virtually impossible to collide?

Finally used fnil in : to extend a function to support nil case without NPE-ing you! My use: a function that needs to handle strings, collections, or nil, and doesn't know which it will get.

Logic errors. Where would we be without them? "Why is that Javascript running too soon?" "Why is that SQL failing to count availability?" "Why is does my function incorrectly know when 'busy' and 'not busy'"?

I want to migrate my account from bookwyrm.social to a different instance of bookwyrm. How can it be done?
