Learning about the #indieweb movement has been one of the most interesting byproducts of joining Mastodon earlier this year. I particularly liked this talk transcript by Jamie Tanna as an introduction to the topic: https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/

When running Kubernetes on a cloud provider, rather than locally using minikube, it’s useful to know which node a pod is running on. The normal command to list pods doesn’t contain this information: $ kubectl get pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE neo4j-core-0 1/1 Running 0 6m neo4j-core-1 1/1 Running 0 6m neo4j-core-2 1/1 Running 0 2m I spent a while searching for a command that I could use before I came across Ta-Ching Chen’s blog post while looking for something else.

Jealous of people who work on Windows PCs today that get an extra day off.

Make your tools work better for you.

I have no interest in furry porn, but a website with no furry porn is like an ecosystem with no bees.

Off topic random thought about pain. Just remembered something I read once, where a mom gave advice to another mom to give their kid “toddler sedative” and the other mom was “wait what?” and the first mom went “You know, Tylenol” the second goes “that’s not a sedative” first says “works for me, when my kid gets all fussy and cries all the time it knocks him right out” And I’m: … 🙈 madam, if your kid cries a lot and settles right down when they get a painkiller… THEY’RE IN PAIN Why don’t we talk about that more? Just because someone doesn’t have language, and can’t tell you what hurts, doesn’t mean they don’t experience pain. Heard it happen to a lot of autistic folks too, and then people say things like “they have a higher pain threshold” Dude. Just because someone doesn’t have the same pain reaction as you, doesn’t mean their experience is any different. https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/112787457240684355

A neat thing about having your own blog is there's no rule saying you can't backfill the archives... yesterday I added this page for a talk I gave back in 2017, just to have it show up in the archives in the right place https://simonwillison.net/2017/Aug/16/denormalized-query-engine/

This is the 22nd talk I've published in the annotated format - here's my full collection https://simonwillison.net/tags/annotated-talks/ I wrote about the tools I use to put these together here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Aug/6/annotated-presentations/

jfc, is there some kind of football going on today? There are roars coming from the English outside like they've cornered an immigrant or something.
