How your email finds me.

@alcinnz it's the lede that resonates with me: we're not developing for readers and viewers, we're developing for developers who don't want to touch actual HTML and CSS, who don't even want to touch JavaScript. They want to stay in their TypeScript fortress where normal people are not allowed.

#TIL that the “global geodesy supply chain” (required for precise satellite positioning that eliminates the Earth's own motion from the reference frame) depends on radio telescope measurements of black holes at the hearts of distant galaxies -- and these measurements are being disrupted by terrestrial interference sources like cellular phones and WiFi. Ironically, these interference sources rely on the accurate functioning of the very satellites they are interfering with.

(The LIGO detector was built in the middle of nowhere in the swamps of Louisiana to avoid this problem.)

So go find an artist you like, a smaller one, on Bandcamp and drop the same $15 you send to Spotify every month in their pocket. For truly small artists, a single sale can literally make their day!

NO ONE is going to notice or care that you spent $15 on Spotify, but the same $$$ spent say BC can be life changing to a struggling artist.

TIL git worktrees are a thing.

Whenever you're tempted to clone the same repository multiple times to work on different branches simultaneously, use a worktree instead.

This is a 10 year old git feature that I wish I'd known about 10 years ago.

Thanks @webology for the tip.

Anyway. I know plenty of people have said this before but "disabled" is is the minority you can be forced to join with no consent or advance notice. You can see those tiny fonts fine, you've got two working hands and fine motor control, you can hear, you can walk an unassisted city block pain free on two working feet? Sure you can. Today. For now. Maybe tomorrow, too!

Been horrifying teammates by referring to undocumented information that's held only in people's heads as "locked in meat storage".

Please use this with your teams/projects and report back on how they like it?

Check out this talk that @mauve did earlier about Agregore's #LocalFirst #AI setup.
