another paper which relies on questionnaires for attention span. am i going crazy? how is this a good metric‽

I reworked the current ActivityPub implementation of GoBlog, fixed ActivityPub replies to posts and also added support for reply updates and deletions. Under the hood it’s using the comment system. 🥳 Using the go-ap/activitypub library, working with ActivityPub is much easier (but still more complicated than I wish it would be). ⌘ Read more

@movq@uninformativ.de yeah.. i rewrote it a few times because i thought there was something breaking.. but was mistaken
though now i am seeing a weird cache corruption.. that seems to come and go.

Tell me you write go like javascript without telling me you write go like javascript:

import "runtime/debug"

var Commit = func() string {
  if info, ok := debug.ReadBuildInfo(); ok {
    for _, setting := range info.Settings {
      if setting.Key == "vcs.revision" {
        return setting.Value
      }
    }
  }

  return "" 
}()

I’m quite curious about this “Ghosts from the Library”. Medawar edits the collection “Bodies from the Library” (which I recommend) and this idea of going through old newspapers to recover serialised stories or finding never published before ones is quite appealing.

Gajim: Gajim 1.5.3
Gajim 1.5.3 brings back a feature many of you missed: selecting and copying multiple messages. Emoji shortcodes have been improved and cover even more emojis now. Gajim also lets you mark workspaces as read, so you don’t have to go through all conversations. Thank you for all your contributions!

Since we changed the way Gajim displays messages in Gajim 1.4, selecting multiple messages to copy them was not possible anymore. With Gajim 1.5.3 you can now select multiple messag … ⌘ Read more

it uses the queries you define for add/del/set/keys. which corrispond to something like INSERT INTO <table> (key, value) VALUES ($key, $value), DELETE ..., or UPDATE ...

the commands are issued by using the maddycli but not the running maddy daemon.

GoToSocial seems like a promising alternative to Mastodon. It’s written in Go (👍 in my opinion), lightweight and pretty good documented so far. It’s still “alpha software” but seems to make great progress. In the past, I self hosted a microblog.pub instance and then after some time without any Fediverse profile other than my blog, which has ActivityPub support as well, signed up at Fosstodon to be able to reply to blog comments from the Fediverse. I already set up an instace of GTS, but will probably wait to use it … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I don’t know how I am going to know if someone wants to talk with me but I guess for now twtxt works.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know how to code in go or anything really. Not even really know how to do html and css only basic things.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know any other way to host my file at my domain unless I make a sub domain. I am going to ask codeberg if they offer access of logs.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Its not better than a Cat5e. I have had two versions of the device. The old ones were only 200Mbps i didn’t have the MAC issue but its like using an old 10baseT. The newer model can support 1Gbps on each port for a total bandwidth of 2Gbps.. i typically would see 400-500Mbps from my Wifi6 router. I am not sure if it was some type of internal timeout or being confused by switching between different wifi access points and seeing the mac on different sides.

Right now I have my wifi connected directly with a cat6e this gets me just under my providers 1.3G downlink. the only thing faster is plugging in directly.

MoCA is a good option, they have 2.5G models in the same price range as the 1G Powerline models BUT, only if you have the coax in wall already.. which puts you in the same spot if you don’t. You are for sure going to have an outlet in every room of the house by code.

Erlang Solutions: Implementing Go Fish to Learn Elixir
A walkthrough of how we implemented GoFish as a way of learning Elixir and the concepts of the BEAM and OTP.

In this article, we will outline our initial design and implementation of the card game Go Fish in Elixir using raw processes, and then describe how we were motivated to re-implement the project using the GenServer module instead. The first step is to agree upon the rules of the game, then describe the domain mode … ⌘ Read more

Public Service Announcement: Fear not, we’re still on patrol and ask you to keep a close eye on your Yarn neighborhood. We got some reports of suspicious activities going on in the background lately.

The e-mails are now going out telling people that I’m leaving the company next week. It’s feeling more and more real every day.

Progress! so i have moved into working on aggregates. Which are a grouping of events that replayed on an object set the current state of the object. I came up with this little bit of generic wonder.

type PA[T any] interface {
	event.Aggregate
	*T
}

// Create uses fn to create a new aggregate and store in db.
func Create[A any, T PA[A]](ctx context.Context, es *EventStore, streamID string, fn func(context.Context, T) error) (agg T, err error) {
	ctx, span := logz.Span(ctx)
	defer span.End()

	agg = new(A)
	agg.SetStreamID(streamID)

	if err = es.Load(ctx, agg); err != nil {
		return
	}

	if err = event.NotExists(agg); err != nil {
		return
	}

	if err = fn(ctx, agg); err != nil {
		return
	}

	var i uint64
	if i, err = es.Save(ctx, agg); err != nil {
		return
	}

	span.AddEvent(fmt.Sprint("wrote events = ", i))

	return
}

fig. 1

This lets me do something like this:

a, err := es.Create(ctx, r.es, streamID, func(ctx context.Context, agg *domain.SaltyUser) error {
		return agg.OnUserRegister(nick, key)
})

fig. 2

I can tell the function the type being modified and returned using the function argument that is passed in. pretty cray cray.

Just for fun, posting as news: going to be rebooting in a minute to apply some changes!

With respect to logging.. oh man.. it really depends on the environment you are working in.. development? log everything! and use a jeager open trace for the super gnarly places. So you can see whats going on while building. But, for production? metrics are king. I don’t want to sift through thousands of lines but have a measure that can tell me the health of the service.

I started working on plugins for GoBlog using a Go module I recently discovered: yaegi.

It seems quite unlikely to me that humans will cease to care about wealth after the singularity (15% maybe?), or that markets will cease to exist after the singularity (30% or sth). so the best investment strategy now for post-singularity scenarios is to invest broadly in the economy. not sure about divesting from AGI companies (bc they accelerate danger) or AI hardware companies (ditto)—they’re going to especially valuable post-singularity.

I was going to say it was the second greatest, but the Epic Games GitHub Mail Disaster of 2022 was a pull request.
