@dfaria you are not who you say you are, you are who you show to be. You demonstrated a certain lack of levelled engagement, and sound reasoning; you were borderline hysterical. All qualities everyone should have, even more so someone who has chosen the teaching path.

This is not a train terminal. No need to give so many warnings about leaving, so many “bye-byes”. If that’s your intention, just leave.

@dfaria@twtxt.net Appreciate this 👌 Right now the algorithm is quite dumb – and I’d also hate to develop any algorithm that abuses any data from users. So definately needs to be things like:

  • one post per day per domain
  • or latest post per domain

etc/./

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Thanks for your positivity and support ! 🤗 This is exaxrly spot on, however I also realize getting things “right” is actually quite hard 😅

In-reply-to » Executing all tests of the online registrations I'm building for the scouts takes now 70 seconds. Initializing a new SQLite database in RAM and creating all the tables for each test case sums up and takes its time. During development cycles I more often resort to the -run flag for go test to specify only one area of tests to be executed. Much more fun this way to quickly go back to writing code.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org How much emphasis do you place on test coverage?

To be fair cleaning up “noise” is quite hard to do. Obciously all the 1-way Mastodon feeds were easy because there’s just no way to interact with them!

@dfaria That’s fair. Also removed the block on your domain btw.

@bender I guess all I can do is unblock the domain and sit down and rethink the “Discover” view’s design and behavior? hmmm 🧐 Alternatively, build a new yarnd 2.0? as a single-user pod only?

In-reply-to » I think multi-user pods were a mistake.

@bender Yeah I could get behind that. Define minimalistic though? What features (if any) would we drop? Would it be mobile-first or desktop-first?

@bender I never see problems on my end, so I suspect this has to be Cloudflare doing this occasionally. I’ll have to poke around there again. At least I have a close enough timestamp :D Maybe message me your IP and approximate timestamp?

In-reply-to » I think multi-user pods were a mistake.

@prologic now, the mention of multiuser pods brought an idea. What if you design, and code, single user pods that are extremely lean (extremely low processor, memory, and storage footprint), and brutally minimalist?

@prologic “let it go, Indiana”. Evidently Assistant Professor Faria can’t—or doesn’t want to—engage in civil discourse. Using Her Majesty’s proper: fuck it!

@dfaria Cancelling is a strong word. I’d you follow your other feed yourself it’s still visible to you!

This whole exercise just reenforces that the idea of the “Discover” view was and is a terrible idea. 😢

In-reply-to » Gentoo bands use of “AI” tools Gentoo, the venerable Linux distribution which in my headcanon I describe as ‘classy’, has banned any use of “AI”. A proposal by Gentoo Council member Michał Górny from February of this year banning it use has been unanimously accepted by the Gentoo Council. The new policy reads: It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing artificial intelligence tools. This motion can be revisited, ... ⌘ Read more

We’ll have to see how this policy will be implemented, but I like that Gentoo is willing to take a stand.

I have to stop using Terraform

@mckinley I’m not sure to be honest I think it’s just a straight up duplicate post. This actually does happen, it’s not a bug, it’s a “human problem”, but yeah it’s annoying, so it’s making me want to figure out a way of keeping some kind of similarity db to strip duplicates out like this.
