One of the neat things about using content addressed data structures is that you can trust that a database query is valid by verifying the subset of a merkle tree related to your data instead of needing to trust a central database server that it isn't omitting or inventing data.

It also allows you to parallellize donwloads from larger peers and reduce the bottlenecks on central "full nodes".

The failure of the Internet to deliver its promise is particularly noticeable when you hunt for repair manuals for a product from the 90s. Used to be, the information would either be there or not there, finable or unfindable.

Now, there are hundreds of algorithmically generated sites claiming to have it just because it appeared in their search logs, generating potemkin village content traps with endless paging, broken-thumbnail named-like-the-file-you-want but actually-just-ebay-photos bullshit

People working in tech need to be paying attention to what is happening with unions and strikes across America right now.

Take notes y’all.

Also kinda surprising that doesn't have built in `set` types? I get that you can "use a map like a set" but it feels super janky and lacks any of the APIs one would hope a set to have. 😅

Let's be clear. Those "low value" degrees are all the degrees were you learn how power works. How knowledge is made. Where hierarchies and ideologies come from. And why all of that is considered "low value" and by whom.

@coop Would y'all be into working together to get more fediverse tech into the Canadian government?

Honestly open source stuff is a gift. Every time a stranger fixes a bug just cause I brought it up in an issue tracker I feel a bit of comradery. Also when I finally get time to fix or review fixes for random modules I maintain in my spare time.

Am I reading this correctly? The standard library has no built in function to get a slice of keys from a map? You need to iterate every single time and build up an extra list??

Thanks to efforts by volunteers Nosamu and bai0, the Internet Archive's flash emulation just jumped generations ahead.

Mute/Unmute works. The screen resizes based on the actual animation's information. And for a certain group who will flip their lid:

We can do multi-swf flash now!

A pile of previously "broken" flashes will join the collection this week.

If you squint at the fediverse enough you can image a discord like interface where threads are threads and channels are hashtags. I wonder hoe it'd feel to use like

Whenever the ruling class starts to sense a threat to their power, that’s when they start picking out ordinary things in society and declaring them to be alien threats, and that anyone who disagrees or downplays the threat must be siding with the enemy.

Godot is legitimately incredible. Anyone who can donate, please do. Unity heavily detracts from OSS and does its best to corner developers into Microsoft platforms, and Unreal Engine also isn't exactly OSS either. Godot does amazing work given its status, so if you can, go donate.

Updated Steam OS and now any apps that have GNOME dependencies work even less.

Gotta figure out setting up my calendar yet again. 😭
