Last month I heard about a kick-starter messaging app that allows messaging even with those that don't have the app and basically utilizes email and customized rules to do its messaging, but I can't remember the name of that thing. Anyone?

This post put well why RSS is a more civilized way of consumming content then are the plague of "make an account" things. Plus, elfeed in has made me not miss Google Reader any more. lucidmanager.org/productivity/

There is something beautiful about an indie open source repo that look like this

I know that email fatigue set in about two decades ago, but allow me my Unpopular Opinion: is good! How many of our over-abundance of comms tools today could be reduced to disciplined use of email?

@yogthos@mastodon.social what sort of work did you do with it? Did you already know Datalog?

@yogthos@mastodon.social That is why we use PostGres, with those glorious JSON fields. But these days I am deciding between PostGres and XTDB Datalog/Clojure native and fast and scalable functionality, if the un-structured doesn't kill me

You can see the love of whitespace hadn't kicked in yet. This museum is a cool project.

As a backend developer you should know:

- when to use SQL & NoSQL
- when to create indexes
- when to partition the data
- when to shard the data
- when to replicate the data

Ah hah! Cool discussion about future of thought freedom, sparked by @internetarchive

@psiie @feditips Which definition are you thinking of? Many people have called many things web3, a decade ago it meant the semantic web, these days some people use it to mean blockchain applications.

Third reason why it's important for the Fediverse to be decentralised is decentralisation protects it from catastrophic failure. If one part of the Fedi goes down, it doesn't break everything else.

The Fediverse is made up of thousands of independent instances. Every instance runs separately, usually on separate servers. Even the largest instance only has a fraction of the Fedi's total users.

Additionally, different instances may use totally different software (Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube etc) written by totally different teams, so software bugs will probably only affect a fraction of the Fedi at any one time.

By being so diverse and spread out, the Fedi minimises the impact of any technical problems.

Centralised networks are much much more vulnerable because they aren't diverse, they put all their technical eggs in one basket. That's why we regularly see Facebook down, Instagram down, Whatsapp down etc.

Anyone who has an issue with or brackets has not spent enough time with XML or HTML.

Yes, I did just refer to parens as "round brackets". It flowed better.

That's part of the beauty of . Since the same language is on the backend in JVM and front in , the hosted transpiling sidesteps any "not real programmer" vibes. Not to mention, . They might hate your parens, but they know you're a programmer.

It’s incredible how fast our industry went from “html isn’t real programming” to “rust programmer thinks publishing a website is too hard”

💡 HTML Tip

You can easily add a drop shadow effect to any transparent image with CSS.

And then you learn immutable data, cond, no need for booleans, vectors and maps instead of arrays and objects, and if you don't get the magic back, at least it's even more fun now!

Before I knew web development, I thought the Internet was magic.

Then the magic fades once you realize that it's just arrays, objects, booleans, and IF/ELSE statements. 😅
