@tomasaschan Thanks for both pointers! I'll have to try that tools.go method to see how it works in practice. Also, LOL, as I just before you posted referred to Jamie as *the* "dependency guy" in the other thread https://elk.zone/hachyderm.io/@anderseknert/113191706986003922 Ping @charlieegan3 — we should look into this for Regal @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me @arichtman@eigenmagic.net

@anderseknert @charlieegan3 @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me @arichtman@eigenmagic.net Haha, I read that but didn't even realize it was the author of the post I linked. I just searched for something like "go tools.go" and took the first hit I recognized as one I read when learning how to use the pattern 🙈 The proposal had a few nice descriptions of requirements to make it work, too, so I recommend giving that a read too just to avoid some common mistakes that aren't super clearly pointed out in the blog post.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net Hmm, not sure what that would refer to, tbh. You can definitely pin a dependency either to a tag (this is the default) or a commit/ref. But could be there are nuances/flaws to the approach I'm not aware of. Summoning @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me as he's the "dependency guy" lol

strangeobject.space is shutting down at the end of 2024

@anderseknert I've come to like the "tools.go pattern" for this: https://www.jvt.me/posts/2022/06/15/go-tools-dependency-management/

I was just adding a gig I’m going to on Last.fm when I saw my “member since” date: 16 August 2004 😯. That’s 20 years of scrobbling (since its Audioscrobbler days). Newer than my Gmail account but …

When the signal came, there was nothing subtle about it: every radio telescope on the planet redlined. First primes, then simple arithmetic, then basic vocabulary, each burst richer than the one before. Finally humanity received the most complex message yet. Thousands of researchers and ad hoc internet communities raced to decode it. "Are you crabs yet?" Hesitantly, humanity replied, "No." "Oh," came the reply. "Sorry to bother you." Silence followed.

Happy #BiVisibilityDay! I always take the opportunity to remind folks I'm bi because, if I don't, people make assumptions. You can be in a hetero relationship and be bi. You can be same-sex relationship and be bi. The distinction matters because bi folks face unique challenges. And, while research seems to indicate most people are bi (!!!), many people are afraid to come out because of the stigma. I'm here to tell you it's never too late to come out. Even if you're in a stable relationship, being closeted causes you harm. Do yourself a favor and join us in the sun ❤️💜💙 We'll be here to support you. #BiPride #Queer #LGBTQ #NotGayButGayIsOK

Distributed Tracing is scary and complicated... right?

As soon as you decide to get more comfortable doing business with people, you realize there are a bunch of people you've met over your career that you definitely don't want to do business with. It's an odd feeling. In this case I ran into something that looked cool on LinkedIn. I was gonna find out more about it, then I saw who it was from. "Oh, that guy? Yeah, no. Fuck that guy."
