In this episode of the Mechanical Ink podcast, host Schalk Neethling engaged in a profound conversation with Taylor Fairbank and Kai Katschthaler from Distribute Aid. They delved into the intersection of technology and humanitarian aid, emphasizing the importance of understanding ground-level needs over imposing tech solutions.

Kai introduced the Open Source Explorers Program, highlighting its inclusive nature and role in integrating diverse skills into humanitarian projects. The discussion also touched upon the personal aspects of working in this field, including the impact of neurodiversity and gender identity on their experiences and perspectives.

The best management advice I ever got is to try and figure out what good management looks like and then put on a performance - try and act like a good manager, go through all of the required motions Because it turns out imitating a good manager and actually being a good manager are mostly the same thing (I think about this sometimes when I encounter debates about whether or not LLMs can reason about or understand content)

Me and @charlieegan3 have been working on a new guide for the most common errors seen in #OPA during #Rego policy development. Parser errors, compiler errors and evaluation errors ā it's all in there. Hopefully it'll be a useful resource to anyone trying to get a better understanding on why some errors happen, and how to fix them. Feedback always welcome! https://docs.styra.com/opa/errors #PolicyAsCode #IAM #Identity #Authorization #DevOps #DevSecOps

Pro tip: If you want to stop being friends with an autistic ADHDer, you probably need to tell them straight out. Because all this "fading away into the woodwork" doesn't work with people who will often not speak to their friends in years without any of the friendship feelings changing. Not seeing someone doesn't change that we think of them as our friends. So not being in touch with us, doesn't communicate "I don't want to be friends anymore". You're going to have to say it. And don't worry, we'll respect your wishes. We just need to know to understand. #adhd #audhd #actuallyAutistic

This yearās State of Open Con schedule focuses on establishing the future of open source across software, hardware and data.Ā Open source communities are reliant on a significant amount of unpaid labour. That makes for an interesting dichotomy that is emphasized during economic downturns. Since, theoretically, anyone should be able to join an open source project, it should have lower barriers to entry. But having free time time do free work ā or being employed by a big tech company specifically to contribute to open source ā is entirely based on privilege.

I was pretty chuffed with adding these Slack notifications (via Goreleaser and go-semantic-release) for releases to #DependencyManagementData which flag when there are breaking changes in the release! Makes it much easier to see at a glance, especially as there's a lot of changes going into it š¤
If you've been hearing me talking about #DependencyManagementData and are wondering about some real world scenarios it's been useful, check out the new Case Studies section on the site š

I was concerned that if my build runs every 12 hours, itāll keep sending webmentions for the same posts. Remy assures me that duplicate webmentions arenāt an issue, as the accepting server will just respond with a 200 if I send a webmention that itās already seen.
Although that should be true, I found that some folks don't handle it as well - my site was deploying multiple times an hour so was a bit noisier, but worth knowing that not every Webmention receiver is equal

Recently I've seen a few people comment on the air quality readings inside large art galleries; the results were far better than on trains, in planes and airports, in movie theatres and so on, due to the need for conservation of the artwork. It's just so strange thinking about how we apparently care more about protecting art than we do about protecting our own lives.
