Open Source Contributor: - Diagnosed and fixed a key bug on Curl


Hah, the opposite of "AI" meaning "Actually Indian"... "Here's my CV, but actually all my work will be done by AI".

With apologies for stereotyping.


> "Here's my CV, but actually all my work will be done by AI".

What AI did you use? Because we want to hire that, not you.

If AI exceeds human capabilities, it won't because it achieved "superintelligence," it will because it caused human abilities to degrade until the AI looks good in comparison.


I'm considering this idea currently because ATM all the Pink Floyd albums on streaming platforms have names describing the image instead of the original artwork (I assume for the WYWH anniversary.) What it reminded me was that we don't own anything they host so I look forward to exploring this as well.


and, they can remove things arbitrarily, even things you paid for.

keep backups for anything you value.

Getting a net::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID on your blog :/


Seems like it expired 15 minutes ago... It should be fixed now; something must be wrong with the letsencrypt auto-renew, I'll look into it properly.

Thanks for letting me know. :)


This is cool but what I really want is another iPhone Mini. I got tiny hands, phones are way too big for me.


Average Brit here - we do not like this and the way politics here has been so tumultuous has shown the general public are sick of this behaviour too.


Tumultuous in what way? There's so little distance between Conservative and Labour today that it really doesn't matter who's in power.


I think there’s more difference than there has been since the 1980s. People really underestimate how far the Tory base (and parliamentary party following closely) have shifted to the right. The willingness of sitting Tory MPs to knowingly lie and dissemble on immigration related issues to create heat is a real break from a past consensus.


And both are now more unpopular than ever.


And they have record low shares of the vote, so … seems consistent?


Sick enough to stop it or only sick enough to vote for the other party who has been doing the same shit but everyone has forgotten now?

Maybe you're not as average as you think you are.


and yet they keep voting for blue labour or red labour…


Current opinion polls for both are abysmal, but I don't think that civic freedoms are the main reason; the main reason is immigration, which all the previous governments promised to limit and then silently decided not to.


Immigration is sucking support more from the tories than labour. They rode into power based upon a promise to do something about it and then massively increased it.

Labour are recently leaning into being anti immigration because it's one of the few wealthy-donor-friendly policies they can pursue which will potentially gain them votes.


Decided not to, but continued to actively campaign on. It’s created a really weird situation where the actual policy choices are hugely disconnected from the rhetoric and emotion in the debate.

Legal immigration from South Asia dominates illegal immigration by an order of magnitude, but nobody wants to lose seats in Birmingham, so essentially doesn’t figure in the arguments about small numbers of afghans in miserable hotels in Essex.


For the Conservatives it's all about irregular/illegal immigration. Labour are hugely unpopular on that having apparently no idea what to do about it but they also have massive challenges on the economy/cost of living and the state of publicly funded services.


Use a timer like the rest of us. There are solutions to the problem


Omfg. A timer, for everything! Why didn't I think of that? And I'd set this timer for getting dressed, and showering, and making coffee, and conversing with my children. "Sorry, son, I can't help you any further with practising shoelace-tying this morning, I only allotted 90 seconds for that." I should probably set a timer for setting timers, too. Don't want to take too long doing that. Undoubtedly, this will also solve the distraction issue because the proximity of a time measuring device to my neurons will rewire them all to be "normal".

You're so ignorant.


A plug and play user management system based on OpenFGA that allows you to manage user permissions and roles locally.

I built it to help save time for folks building internal enterprise apps


Nope, I do this too (most of the time.) I don’t like working on code I don’t understand. I have started to ask it to use a client API I’ve written to figure out how clients would work with the stuff I write though. It’s great.


I love this. I don’t write but I think this advice applies to anything creative. Can’t get better if you don’t do it!


I’ve done this! I wound up writing a small 500 sub LOC solution (very bare bones) that I copy/paste when I work in places where I don’t get to use my fav note taking software.

That said, I just converged on Apple Notes in the end.


There are plenty of internet radios like NTS which are all about curated discovery. It's worth checking out if that's your thing!
