Bringing the great successes of financial engineering to Rust.

I made up a neat little pattern in Go the other day. It’s a way to represent a state change in a system by exposing different APIs for different states, while only holding state in a single underlying struct. I’m sure I’m not the first person to invent this, and it may already a name, so please let me know if you know of one. I’m going to show an instance of the pattern first and the motivation after.

Redis is no longer OSS, breaking its explicit commitment to remain under the BSD 3-Clause License forever. This has angered contributors who are now working to fork the software.

@Marcus@k8s.social Huh, I hadn't noticed they too changed their license. We're going to need tools to help avoid projects not hosted by a foundation in our supply chains if this keeps up. Maybe some Rego rules in @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me 's DMD :) https://dmd.tanna.dev/

Wondering what the world would look like if we implemented "Universal Basic Website". Entitle everyone to their own domain, a few GB of space, the ability to run simple apps / blogs / etc. What does the world look like if people aren't beholden to Flickr / Facebook / Google Photos to share their family albums? #UBI

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social @Edent@mastodon.social Here’s an article about our pilot project in Ghent seven years ago (!!!) now. Unfortunately, a conservative local government took power and cancelled our funding. https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/gent-wil-burgers-eigen-stukje-internet-geven~b92ec1b4/

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social @Edent@mastodon.social My goal with the Small Web (Kitten, Domain, and Place) is to launch as a paid service so we can pay the mortgage and then, hopefully as people use it and maybe even as other orgs host Domain instances, to go to the EU, etc., and say “it works – now support this with our taxes.” We’ll see how it goes. The fact that we have had €zero EU funding to date doesn’t exactly fill me with hope.

I got a new computer from work and my cat has blessed it with her face juice, so I think I can send the old one back now

I finally got round to implementing dark mode for this site (the cobbler’s children have no shoes and all that…) Here’s all the CSS I had to add: @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* Invert all elements on the body while attempting to not alter the hue substantially. */ body { filter: invert(100%) hue-rotate(180deg); } /* Workarounds and optical adjustments. */ /* Firefox workaround: Set the background colour for the html element separately because, unlike other browsers, Firefox doesn’t apply the filter to the root element’s background.

Ever been staying at a hotel and gotten annoyed that you always have to open a browser to log in for wireless access? Yup, me too. A recent instance was particularly frustrating and I had to pull out my favourite Swiss Army chainsaw in order to make my life a bit easier.

You are allowed to have and do nice things for yourself.

The hard part about evaluating successful people who’ve been at a company for several years is it’s hard to determine if they’re good at getting things done or good at getting things done AT THAT COMPANY. Too many friends have shared stories of hiring ex-FAANG people who try to replay their previous company playbook without the same resources, culture or strategic advantages. This is important to filter for in interviews and interrogate yourself as well for similar tendencies.

all the testimonials on my site are from women (except one) and honestly I just feel lucky to have worked with so many badasses there's still so much progress to be made but sometimes I have to remember I haven't always been the only one in the room
