I love Lewis Ginter! Great to see a local on here, sometimes I feel like everyone is across the country/ world. 😀


"The OSI (@osi) First to Endorse United Nations Open Source Principles”
unite.un.org/news/osi-first-en…

didn't know they had such initiatives, but the list of principles is very good and should apply to all publicly funded organizations!





On the theme of finding little bits of joy (and a timeline cleanse), I walked over to see my neighbours at lunchtime. Their Llanwenog ewes have started lambing (the flock I watched last year 😊). They have a lovely system of moving them out from the shed to a paddock in a lamb pram with mum following behind.

Lamb Pram!!! My stroller formally known as “Bunny Buggy” shall heretofore be called “Lamb Pram.”

It’s basically a rolling litter box. Here it is with my first two rabbits, Lily (left) and Eeyore (right).

I went to Marginalia Website Explorer and among the first 100 random sites were four sites of guys I know. Consider this: 0 sites of gals I know, 4 sites of guys I know. Why? How? It is a mystery.

Nah, many girls are just interested in other things.
An acquaintance of mine works in a tech company as a web-developer.
And she mentions sometimes her team consists of nine guys and one girl.
in reply to Nina Kalinina

I think there is no a single explanation, but women are more social.
Whenever I go to some social club I notice it everytime.
in reply to Pavel Seleznev

@rtlc Please be careful with self-fulfilling prophecies.

Plenty of IT pioneer were women, but they disappeared the moment that IT became a well-paid, relatively high-status job.

Women are being bounced away from tech education and jobs because of systemic factors and saying "girls are just interested in other things" will only further entrench these factors.

in reply to Forse (he/him)

@forse Hey there, sorry if my comment sounded too simplistic or dismissive.

My thinking was along the lines to start a blog you:
register a domain;
choose CMS;
create a blog;
start writing.

All these can be in many cases very solitary experiences.
And as I mentioned in another post women in my opinion are better at socializing than guys.
And spending time with people in real life takes time.
IMHO

that whole #typescript #golang rewrite discussion here and on other networks is kinda funny 🤡

i mean, let people use the language they want??

the “yOu ShOuLd HaVe UsEd #RuSt" gang is strong, but it’s far from perfect and you can literally use almost anything to run almost anything on almost anything

often times (not always!) people have put some decent thought behind their decisions 💡

reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

“Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.”

in reply to FandaSin

@FandaSin
Not only keeping it updated, but figuring out the requirements alone is absolute insanity.

Large orgs develop so much internal data lore, it's almost impossible to cover everything.

Often enough, the initial draft and the final product have next to nothing in common.

in reply to Admiral Snackbär

@AdmSnackbar @FandaSin fully agree. we have the near-luxury to be a fairly self-sustained team inside a large org. we therefore created our own set of principles (public here github.com/swrlab/swrlab/blob/…) which also include a section à la “if it's not maintained any more, we'll turn it off”.

We use dependabot on github and speedy ci/cd processes to quickly update and deploy things without too much overhead. this really helps keeping things rather up-to-date and secure (so far)

Hey @Tamasg I heard about the new orbit players. Wonder whet TTS they're gonna use? My guess is probably acapela or vocalizer. Or maybe even just ESpeak.
in reply to patricus

they can't use Eloquence either, but people are hoping you can sideload.

Does a basic media player need an octa-core processor in 2025?
Will it be any less pricy than the competition?
People do die on the hill of their preferred audiobook player, I suppose.

in reply to Sean Randall

Well, octa-core may just help with feed processing mainly, if this has a podcast b rowser as well. My guess is it'll be something low-end like ARM-A53 or 55 based, not a high-end Arm-X1 core or like in flagship phones. I see they license runaTTS in their Orbit Speak though, which interestingly is the same licensee as used by Tifloteknia for their Vocalizer for NVDA product. Another thing that tells me Nuance charges out the butt for a license, so much so that these companies are just getting theirs from one common distribitor and paying them rights to use it.

@Mojeek Hello. Can you guys allow adding custom Search Choices? Thanks.




Wrote and deleted several passive-aggressive email responses to an 'urgent' project request (minutes).

Ended up going with "Got it! No problem!"

Kill me.

I can relate. I’ve typed out responses I could never send, then had to take a moment before coming back to write the calm email instead. 😂


👋Hey everyone!

After spending some time at #datadog and #proton, I'm now looking for another job.
I'm looking for a #rust software engineer position.
Thanks a lot in advance!

i could be wrong, but i believe Scaleway (the cloud provider) had some France-based Rust offerings recently


Question/ask!

Some locals are organizing a community skillshare and I offered to help folks get set up with secure text messaging using Signal. Are there any tutorials/guides that you particularly recommend, or known issues with setup, maybe with other kinds of phones? (I've had no issues setting up on Android)

Also: is there anything else you'd recommend I share with folks in terms of communication security? Other helpful apps or tools? Looking for things I can quickly learn, then teach.

in reply to Shauna GM

lools like the signal suggestions are covered.

github.com/Gedsh/InviZible is an excellent privacy tool, only for android.

@torproject browser is both ios and droid, and should be on every phone.

@getgrid is a cross platform privacy focused live location sharing app. It's under heavy development(maybe alpha/beta) and doesn't always work me.

There's a lot of "more advanced" privacy projects, but these are all ones you could learn easily and teach quickly.

If you want more ideas...

That's not a giant meteor. It's SPHEREx and PUNCH, two @nasa missions, being sent up into space via a Falcon 9 @spacex rocket!! SPHEREx is a mission that'll survey over 450 million galaxies to uncover the history of the universe and how it evolved. The PUNCH mission will study the outer atmosphere of the sun.

I am VERY EXCITED about SPHEREx and what it'll find about the period of cosmic inflation, a period when the universe grew by ~10³⁰ in size in a tiny fraction of a second!



Brothers and sisters, I invite you to join me in observing a meaningful Ember Wednesday. (Ask claude.ai about it.) The sun will be up soon where I am. I’m beginning now cradleofprayer.org/this-weeks-…, later msg me t.me/tbc00

A Health System Is Fighting Idaho’s Abortion Ban. It’s Not Its First Controversial Stance.

St. Luke’s, Idaho’s largest health system, was outspoken in defending its staff during a backlash against masks and vaccines. It also sued right-wing figure Ammon Bundy — and won. Now it’s backing its doctors on the abortion front.

#WritersCoffeeClub for March 12:

Happy Plant a Flower Day! What role does nature take in your stories?


Depends where we're going. If we're talking about The Voyageur, it's a key theme. If we're looking at something set in the Jovian Lunar Empire, it couldn't matter less.

In general, when nature does show up it tends to be aberrant from the actual condition. The bigger role nature plays in my stories is the role it plays in my creative process; the way the seasons govern my ratio of indoor to outdoor activity, the way the best ideas come to me directly from the sun, as filtered down through elm-leaves on my favourite trail down by the river.
