@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I’m not a Python programmer, so please bear with me.
The doc about encodings does also mention:

If you require a different encoding, you can manually set the Response.encoding property

Wouldn’t that be a one liner like (Ruby example)?

'some text'.force_encoding('utf-8')

I understand that you do not want to interfere with requests. On the other hand we know that received data must be utf-8 (by twtxt spec) and it does burden “publishers” to somehow add charset property to content-type header. But again I’m not sure what “the right thing to do” ™ is.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de
Exactly, you see correct UTF-8 encoded version (even with content-type: text/plain leaving out charset declaration).

After following utf8test twtxt myself I now see that jenny does not handle it as UTF-8 when charset is missing from HTTP header, just like @quark@ferengi.one has observed.

So should jenny treat twtxt files always as UTF-8 encoded? I’m not sure about this.

My nutritional supplements aim should be:

• 1 or 1.5 cups of lentils (or any beans you might like better).
  
• 2 or 2.5 cups of bitter greens.
  
• 1 cup of your favourite protein (or an egg), grilled, or fried with a little of olive oil.
  
• 1 or 2 tomatoes, or a handful if of the cherry type.
  
• No added sugars. If it is sweet, make it have fibre.
  
• No added salt (or very little and ionised), as salt is everywhere.
  

Related, I tried wild rice for the first time yesterday. It was different, in a good way.

now Apache also announces content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Well, that fixed things. 🥳

@quark@ferengi.one No client, those were created using date -Is and emacs. Off course all is UTF-8 encoded, but now Apache also announces content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

** Data Types and Variables in C **
I’ve been writing a heap of Lua lately — this has lead to my becoming interested, again, in C. Here are some ancient notes I dug up on the most basics of data types and variables in C.

All of a computer’s memory is comprised of bits. A sequence of 8 bits forms a byte. A group of bytes (typically 4 or 8) form a word. Each word is associated with a memory address. The address increases by 1 with each byte of memory.

In C, a byte is an object that is as big as t … ⌘ Read more

Gajim: Development News September 2021
September brought many updates under the hood. With big changes coming up in Gajim 1.4, many parts of the code have to be touched. These changes remain mostly invisible for users, but make Gajim more robust. In some cases, this results in visible improvements as well: Both Add Contact and Start Chat windows are now detecting the type of chat behind an address.

There is a type of flourishing available to a cat that is only rarely available to us. A human is never simply what she is, but is always striving to become something she is, as yet, not. This is the result of a self-image – a conception of herself and what her life should be – which, when unrealised, can occasion frustration and despair. What the Cat Knows (2020) | Hacker News

Reflection in golang
Reflection in Go is a form of metaprogramming. Reflection allows us to examine types at runtime. It also provides the ability to examine, modify, and create variables, functions, and structs at runtime. The Go reflect package gives you features to inspect and manipulate an object at runtime. Reflection is an extremely powerful tool for developers and extends the horizon of any programming language. Types, Kinds and Values are three important pieces of reflec … ⌘ Read more

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io @jlj@twt.nfld.uk in old school terminal jargon the ^H means control H or the sequence used in some terminals to indicate backspace. The “joke” is that the term failed to interpret it correctly and you can see the partially typed word before they changed it.

Are you able to coax your webserver to add the charset to the content type header? Browsers are having a hard time thinking you are sending latin-1

content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

@prologic@twtxt.net as promised! https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/blob/xuu/integrate-lextwt/types/lextwt/lextwt_test.go#

I may or may not have become involved in yet another blogging type thing, only this time it’s for writing fiction. Links will soon follow everywhere.

There are two types of computer programmers: Those who think that computers are the problem, and those who think that programmers are the problem.

@prologic@twtxt.netd so.. convert the 4 attributes in the struct to private, add getters plus some the other methods that make sense.

type Twt interface {
	Twter()        Twter
	Text()         string
	MarkdownText() string
	Created()      time.Time

}

@prologic@twtxt.net I have some ideas to improve on twtxt. figure I can contribute some. 😁 bit more work and it will almost be a drop in replacement for ParseFile

I believe trauma instills scientific-type knowledge that is factually false but locally adaptive. False beliefs need more protection to be maintained than true beliefs, so the belief both calcifies, making it unresponsive to new information, and lays a bunch of emotional landmines around itself to punish you for getting too close to it. This cascades into punishing you for learning at all, because you might learn something that corrects your false-but-useful model. Emotional Blocks as Obstacles to Learning | Hacker News
