Reading about GraphQL for the first time, having that feeling of something that completely breaks the Single Reponsibility principle, and thus breaking API composability and reusability.

“Western Flag” is an installation by artist John Gerrard for

It’s a flag made of black smoke (non-polluting, hope), meant to represent rising CO2 in the atmosphere

@Gargron fyi, just got an email from Mastodon:

"96 new notifications since your last visit 🐘"

Detail: there were all old notifications. It seems to be a mistake in how last visits are calculated.

So in the last month of being a new Mastodon admin I've seen: (1) a popular instance wipe its entire database and (2) a popular instance's operator ragequit and take the server with them.

Definitely an education in mastodon failure modes!

My sense is that the decision to become a Mastodon admin comes with some responsibility to plan for continuity... the broader Mastodon community suffers when there is no plan or a lack of effort to carry it out.

@cypnk what's the difference between the /usr realm and /usr/local? I never figured out. If both are for user powered software, why would I have a /usr/local if I already have a /usr?

Should I discard* this mindset and accept that modules are the Ruby way to provide mixins* to classes?

Sorry for such typos. I tooted it after midnight, almost falling asleep.

I understand the advantage of a class can being able to easily import one or more modules, something that resembles multiple inheritance. But, in JavaScript, modules are a fundamental building block for a software architecture (it's the organizational group for everything logic: vars, consts, functions, classes, etc.). Should I discart this mindset and accept that modules are the Ruby way to provide Nixon's to classes? 😂

Any rubyist online?

JS programmer here. I'm studying about Ruby modules. Discussions on Stack Overflow and other forums shown modules as a way to group methods (functions) pretty much like a static class. So, in Ruby, is this what modules are designed for? To group a bunch of functions/methods into a common namespace?

I had my MacBook stolen last Friday (Mar 9, 2018). I scheduled exclusion of my data through Find My iPhone but it haven't connected to the Internet yet. Ideas of what could I do recover my computer?

Very excited to be close to release a new version of my project! Seeing it becoming a thing after working for days just to get the best quality possible is very rewarding! Couldn't be more excited!

@Gargron hey. Is it possible to use Mastodon as a desktop app?

Is it possible to use Mastodon web app as a desktop app? I saw a @Gargron email mentioning this feature but I can't find info about how to do it.

A lot of people are praising my work on ActivityPub and I really appreciate that. ActivityPub was a group effort though and I do want to make sure other people get the credit they deserve. Here's a (unfortunately non-exhaustive, but pretty good) list of people who helped make ActivityPub happen: w3.org/TR/activitypub/#acknowl

Working on it Ben.

ActivityPub now as a W3C standard. Yay!
