I think that I need to just rewrite Dodo

@ondiz that sounds like it is go home o'clock.

also, when you install Bower you get this message:

"We don't recommend using Bower for new projects. Please consider Yarn and Webpack or Parcel. You can read how to migrate legacy project here: https://bower.io/blog/2017/how-to-migrate-away-from-bower/"

But don't worry, $big_company will save us all.

So $big_company, in addition to not having any goddess damned imagination, uses Bower for their front-end systems. These are new things that are (supposedly) constantly getting attention and updates.

From the Bower homepage:

"...psst! While Bower is maintained, we recommend using Yarn and Webpack or Parcel for front-end projects read how to migrate"

Never work with big companies. They just aren't worth it.

Are there any Mastodonians who live in/near Paris who want to do a mastodon live meet up?

I should be more social.

Y a-t-il des Mastodonians que près de Paris qui veulent faire une rencontre en direct ?

Je devrais être plus sociable.

Things that are efficient in python may not be efficient in c and things that are efficient in c are almost certainly not efficient in javascript.

And then there is indentation and semi-colons.

FUN!

Going through a day and coding alternately in python, javascript/node and embedded c is a strange experience for me.

The video export is at 70% and hasn't died yet! And my heatsink is only uncomfortably hot to touch, not 'wholly fuck I am going to lose skin' hot.

I may have federated wikis working.

Or at least my test setup is working

Anything that has to do with digital security just makes me want to be a hermit and never touch a computer again.

I am currently working on adding federation to tiddlywiki again. This time with the node version so it can do a lot more than it could with the static file server version.

Then I need to move to Dodo.

The bits of the CW argument that I have seen seem to be two reasonable positions that don't contradict (you shouldn't say people need to hide what they are, and, not talking about traumatic things without warning is nice to other people) and then a few very loud people doing the reductio ad absurdum thing and trying to convince other people that is actually what is going on.

I think that the fediverse has already had this argument 3 or 4 times.

I don't care how object oriented the programming language is. I am going to write code like it is a functional language.

We could make an open-access peer review journal without much trouble.
Host everything using DAT or torrents to keep down hosting costs.
Maybe actually offer help with copy editing and whatnot. Focus on civil society as much as the pure academic part of things.

I like this idea.

"is that what kids are calling it these days?" can be a response to almost anything.

Can we acknowledge that it is no longer 1995 and that instead of saying 'eDemocracy' and 'eGovernment' we should just say 'Democracy' and 'Government'? We are at least 20 years too late to pretend that the digital aspect of life isn't important.

August in Paris always feels weird. The city doesn't seem like it should ever be this empty.

It is like there was some plague and most of the people died.

I am working on some computer vision stuff that will go onto robbie when we eventually give it a brain upgrade. The file is DetectHumans.py because it needs to sound sufficiently ominous. My little robot is going to learn to see me. I want to make it so that it can recognize my face, but that is a more difficult task.

I forgot to eat today and now it is too late. All the stores are closed and I have no food at home.
