Hey everyone!
My current gig might be wrapping up soon, so itโs time for me to figure out whatโs next.
If you or someone you know could use some help with software tools or systems โ architecture, implementation, deployment, operations, data pipelines, CD, DX, etc โย maybe get in touch? Iโve been doing this a while and Iโm pretty flexible.
Iโm open to short-term or long-term, part-time or full-time. Iโm US-based (NYC area) and a US citizen.

@josh0 may the schwartz be with you
A note from some recent conversations on how to adopt a style guide:
A style guide doesn't produce consistency. It is the artifact of a culture that values consistency.
@astraluma htmx addresses this well. Interestingly itโs community is thinking about how to get this addressed natively in browsers and the HTML spec.
@plexus I had one rough day after I got mine. Totally worth it. Good luck!
Any mutuals in North America have an M1 Mac Mini they might want to sell to me?
@simon how about โnatural language queryโ
Or if you have more space maybe โask a questionโ or something like that
My first interaction with Azure tech support and I am decidedly unimpressed.
@charliepark I love everything about this!
@nikitonsky Iโm using Ivory right now along with my self-hosted ActivityPub server (Takahe) to see peopleโs posts, reply, etc.
IE you might be using Mastodon, but Iโm not, and we can still socialize (lol).
So maybe thatโs a promising glimmer of hope?

Can we go back to unified world again, the one with open protocols and interoperability? I want one app per problem, not ten fractured partial apps for each problem
Dismay. Bleak, grim, ashen dismay.
Voting is not about perfection, itโs about direction.
Harris is pointing forward, Trump is pointing backward (to the 1930s, specifically).
Vote for the direction you wanna move in.
@criccomini just curious: will you be considering Jepsen as part of your testing strategy?
Anyone else into comics?
If so, check out this fantastic YouTube channel, matttt. He makes video essays about comics creators. Their biographies, backgrounds, influences, challenges, etc. Every single video is informative and entertaining.
@b0rk wasnโt there a hype cycle around โconversational interfacesโ 5 or 10 years back? Maybe thatโs a search term thatโd help?
@Mark interesting. I live in White Plains and never felt conspicuous in my 08 Mini convertible. But then again it was gray (yuk) and is a little larger than a Miata.
I agree the vast majority of cars around here are big and dumb and boring. It does make it a little more special when you spot something cool tho.
@Mark โbeing exposedโ == drawing attention? Standing out?
If so thatโs interesting; I think of Miatas are quite commonโฆ
There is a solution. We're 61 electoral votes away from neutralizing the Electoral College. Most of the blue states have passed this but we need the battleground states to get past 270.

@skrishna Iโm glad youโre ok!
Because it apparently needs to be said:
Being Jewish does not mean belonging to a particular region.
Israel being a Jewish nation does not mean that it is a theocracy.
Jews are a people with a shared history, culture, and variety of languages. People of all races. People of a variety of religions, even.
As Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan put it: Judaism is a civilization.
To know someone is Jewish is not to know what they look like or what they believe, but it is to know that they likely have to worry about antisemitism, violence, and ostracization no matter what relationship, if any, they have with Israel.
#PPOD: This stunning photograph captures the most violent moment during an eruption of the Calbuco volcano in Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs in the plumes of eruptions when volcanic ash particles collide, generating static electricity. Additionally, water vapor in the plume condenses and freezes as it rises, adding ice to the mix. And voila! The eventual electrical discharge causes lightning.
