Do you hear that Racket train a-coming? Here it comes: Racketfest on March 18! We’re up to eight talks so far. Come join us! https://racketfest.com
@regehr @wilbowma The best thing is Will Crichton's Nota https://willcrichton.net/nota/
@wilbowma speaking of, today I was just showing someone distill.pub; is there something better than that for putting CS content on the web?
Was Idris named after Idris Elba?
@pigworker “Conor’s not here so he can’t stop me from naming it this.” Got a big laugh
If you want to know the state of Rust, though, I’m waiting for the docs to build on docs.rs so I can link to the particularly evil bits and gloat but we’re currently item 100 in the build queue and 90 of the crates ahead of us have names starting with “bitcoin,” I kid you not.
Just saw this #WebAssembly

The WebAssembly Community Group voted to advance tail calls to Phase 4! That means it will now be merged into the standard! Woohoo! A great day for FP.
Today is the day we honor Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and legacy,?/!: I want to do so by uplifting one of the geniuses he helped inspire: Stevie Wonder. Though he’s one of the most gifted and important artists to have ever created popular music, Stevie’s legacy as a tireless and fearless advocate for justice may he even more powerful, and is too often overlooked. We should heed every word he says. (Full post here: https://anildash.com/2022/01/17/how-stevie-celebrated-a-birthday/ )
fedi meta, connecting with actual solutions
@jenn literally, ask questions.
There's even built in polling on this platform, so data can be collected consentfully.
Good ideas percolate (via boosting) to those who listen. And asking questions is an excellent tool for actively listening. Did I mention asking questions?
And not "ask questions that confirm existing bias and assumptions once you find An Opinion That Justifies Your Presuppositions" really heckin excavate this stuff, listen to diverse perspectives, and spend time digesting what is said.
That's the way forward, to dissolve the expectation that people are a data source, and start building meaningful connections with others.
In the process you learn that the old way you expected is #colonialism, and you can decide what to do about that on a personal level.
For folks who want to analyze your cycling or triathlon data without paying for a corporate service that you can't trust, I suggest GoldenCheetah, a Free Software program that also allows you to opt-in to contribute your fitness data to science.
I've been using GoldenCheetah for 2 years now, and it's saved me.... oh right, I don't know because Strava doesn't disclose its prices!
I’m interested in all programming languages.
