Im in the UK later this week, talking at @oggcamp@mastodon.social! It’ll be a tasty intro to home automation and how to successfully irritate your loved ones with it. Oggcamp is the bestest free software conference there is, mainly because it’s in The North and filled with Northeners. More conferences that aren’t in London pls. #oggCamp #OggCamp2024 #HomeAutomation

Do you find yourself exaggerating your emotional responses when you know you're being watched? Would you like your phone's selfie-camera to record your face when you receive a message so it can automatically reply 😄, 😢, or 😯? Blog post: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/10/performative-emotions/

Ohh gotcha I see what you mean - so it's actually that the map isn't initialised (still one of the annoying things Go does, you have to make(map) to initialise it), the key being unused just stops us compiling.

I do agree it'd be useful to have a way to catch uninitialised maps earlier!

Here's the current state of the tech industry: A week or so ago I went for a big group meal and at the end they brought the card reader machine for us to pay and it had an option for us to go through an itemised bill, check some options, and pay for just those options (plus an equivalent fraction of the service charge). It was amazing! This genuinely saved us about half an hour of talking at cross-purposes and poking numbers into our own phone calculators and hoping nobody did the sums wrong and accidentally stole someone else's tip. I genuinely would consider going back there for future group meals despite the fact that I'd finished my food before Alec's arrived and he'd finished his before Darren's came, so thoroughly do I dislike the traditional bill-splitting process. And yet in terms of technology, it was nothing but a low-end smartphone running an app built entirely from OS-standard UI components. No AI, no invasion of privacy, no adverts, and I have to assume no VC funding or elaborate toolchain. Just a good idea implemented well, and genuinely we all went away commenting about how clever and useful it was. And I don't remember the previous time I experienced that. We know what people want. They want you to use the massive technological advances we've already made to build useful things that work. But apparently there's no money in that 🤷

a month ago i left a job i held for several years, a job that took me through a winding road of launching a product, going through an acquisition, lots of high points and lows...but ultimately i got to end the journey on my own terms, on my own time. i couldn't have asked for anything more, especially given the state of the world. i'm so very proud of my work at glitch and fastly, and it's special how i got to be one of just a handful of people who can say they have grown and lead millions of developers in creating the web and community! it was a lot of fucking work, though, and i need a break.
