Which is amusing because it does none of the things that Aral (the linked post) or the comment suggests. It did provide me with a lot of activity to respond to in the morning when I woke up however, and caused me to re-assess how much peopl

The source is indeed esoteric, and sometimes hilarious. I have been using it to learn how the auth works against mastodon and some other parts of Activitypub. I do recommend it as a decent starting point to learn from.

As do I. However as with any code I published I would be fairly annoyed were someone to lift it and present it as their own without either first contacting me (which is trivial) or citing me. I have found a lot of references to things I hav

Not really. It’s just another datapoint. People like seeing it though.

Going to say my own https://github.com/boyter/scc/ which I have used to turn down projects of "Oh we just need to do X" It allows me to evaluate the code-base quickly and see where potential issues are,

Create your own? There are many implementations over ActivityPub, but you can create your own if you like.

Still one of my “I need this code today” soundtracks. I absolutely adore it.

I understand your point but you have totally missed mine. One of the main reason to have an electric car is the ability to charge from home using your solar. With the way islanding laws work in Australia should rolling blackouts happen you

This. Along with the privatisation of the industry and the miss aligned incentives. Gold plated delivery of electricity, but no guarantees of getting it. I find it insane that a country with as much natural resources, plus unlimited sunshin

Hah! I actually checked, it was aware of your repository and has been tracking it for a while. Just it didn't get indexed due to me de-prioritizing github. If I can scrounge some more RAM back I will try to expand the index yet again.

I really did try to make it as fast as I could. Always happy to write it down too.

I don't know about a fast pace, but I did have fun with it!

Ah I see a vanity search! The ones that always cause issues :) Its just down to it not being in the index, I shall ensure I add it just for you based on this. Done. That repository https://github.com/alecthomas/kong wi

It’s actually sitting on my hdd. Just need to finish it off. I got sidetracked.

Probably because I don’t prioritise GitHub anymore. Their own search is great, but it might get picked u[ eventually. There is ranking, first by a pre rank popularity of the repository and secondly by tf/idf of the trigrams. It’s weigh

I have always found that my blog is a place for me to dump my thought process and ideas behind things. A journal I can refer back to, with myself being the main audience first. As such I also put in the answers to annoying problems such as

Yes. I wrote a tool to assist with estimating and finding the complex portions of a codebase. It works well for the issues I have been facing.

I wanted to learn how to solve the problem. I wanted to learn a new language. I figured since I was doing it anyway I might as well do it openly. Now I keep doing it because it starts conversations with others and I occasionally see it bein
