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.
@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.
You have survived 100% of your worst days.

@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: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#acknowledgements

Working on it Ben.
ActivityPub now as a W3C standard. Yay!
Who else is paranoic when it comes to email management? 😂
