Feels good folks
Not really a fun fact, Wilders who is mentioned in the post, went on to win the elections in 2023. They did terrible.
I have similar feelings around this depending if I feel optimistic or pessimistic, but I don't know how things get practically easier for teachers now that the whole culture around LLMs feel crazy to me.
Another custom select list using using appearance: base-select.
On browsers that don't yet support this, a normal select list will be displayed.

@samwho.dev coincidentally: simonwillison.net/guides/agent... by @simonwillison.net just showed up for me.
Ha, double my admiration to all of you! The visuals, the exercises and the explanations are well done.
And the related YT tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggXk...
I still haven't implemented it fully, but I understood things a lot better after trying to implement it in another language.
I have! It's such an awesome series, I'm jealous at that level of interactivity.
There is also: learn.yjs.dev
But the paper arxiv.org/abs/2409.14252 was a bit more daunting because it's an OT structure but constructs a CRDT for merging/reconstructing.
I'm also simply not good at this stuff!
"Try to generate Sam Rose style interractive visuals for process X" is a better thing than what is being done right now. Interactivity helps a lot with learning imo.
Anecdotal: I tried to write a CRDT implementation from a paper but failed; a related YT tutorial helped a lot!
I'm also probably biased in that I have noticed that I like writing documentation a lot more than most I know; The code should be enough, nobody reads it anyway, who cares, I'll do it later etc etc, all things that trigger me :P.
Knowing that it is LLM generated fucks me up. Like can I really trust everything on the page? Reading with a sense of paranoia kinda disqualifies me from reading it as a quick summary.
The page itself reads to me more as a branding page than a well written doc.
I always thought it was writing a "functional" org-mode parser.
Some people really like to romanticize their life instead of living it.
What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.
Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.
The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅
(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)
I'll be giving a keynote at Local-First Conf, and lots of great people will be there. Love the thematic broadening of the conference (technology in support of user agency) this year. Grab your ticket!
My company @igalia.com is hiring an Open Source Product Marketing Manager. www.igalia.com/jobs/product...
Igalia is a worker-owned cooperative based in A Coruña, Spain. All positions are 100% remote. Igalia can potentially sponsor visas to emigrate to Spain.
I don't let my social media platforms define what kind of loser I am
I can't imagine cocaine to be a great diary drug? I've only seen people get egoistical by it.
But don't do gringo shit and stay safe and you'll have a great time anyway! Prices are a bit higher due to gentrification in the tourist areas, but plenty of nature and nice people to get inspired by.
Do you mean Colombia? I don't even know if I'm discriminating here because I'm linking the cocaine skeet with Colombia, but the urge to ask is too strong.
By all means be wary, but also be inquisitive and proactive.
Those of us out here building in, on and for the Atmosphere identified all the same problems you’re talking about two years prior when it first went public, and we’ve been busy building mitigations and trust into the network ever since.
I need people to understand that "AI" used in moderation isn't necessarily the "AI" of ChatGPT + friends or synthetic text extruding machines, or LLMs. There's stuff lumped under "AI", as the term is a marketing term, that is actually useful and important for flagging stuff on social media.
Like syntactically I find Lisp elegant, but I remember my first run with a Liso and I just found it so much harder to read then Python.
But the more Python I read and wrote, the more I thought: this isn't that easy of language!
I didn't read the article as a complete dismissal of syntax, I might be biased because I've met people that seem to just completely invalidate a language because of syntax(in a very rude way).
But more on topic I find the bias fascinating and a very interesting social thing as well.
We have a consulting group, now open to work in a variety of languages, including Scala, Haskell, Rust, Elm, and of course Unison. More details here: www.unison-lang.org/blog/consult...
Please boost to help get the word out. And we'd love to hear from you if you're interested in working with us!
This finally got official accreditation. Thank you #datastar team 🙏

"Bad thing existed before I made it easier to do bad thing" isn't the argument you think it is.
I've been looking a long time for something like this and I wish you luck. I eventually settled on syncing Hardcover to Obsidian and writing notes and stuff in there.
peterullrich.com now runs on my own Hetzner server using Coolify 😎
I'll do a big write-up of my migration from US services to EU ones + self-hosted. It's relatively easy but there are some caveats to consider.
Last town hall they mentioned they are (going) to work on fine grained permissions.
For more team oriented stuff I know of docmost.com and Heptabase.
I don't entirely understand why AnyType would lock one in, why the concerns? It can be a scary datastructure but it is still your data.
