I still really really want a const, lifetime-erased type_id... I'm thinking of doing another attempt in facet — we need to be able to match on type id in const etc., it's just too important. `Shape::eq` should not show up in flamegraphs

It’s so annoying to read all these takes about not banning that German right-extremist party because that would only make things worse.
No. They need banning.
In a democracy we agree on rules and ways to renegotiate those rules. Use them to change what you don’t like, but if you attack the system in dishonest ways, you break the rules and are not allowed to play.
NOW is the time to end the destructive behaviour – in a completely democratic fashion, built into the system.
very excited about lower costs with new Sync v1.1 relay, and did a write-up on how to host one cheaply

If there's any overlap at all between my followers and the kind of science fiction fan who will be attending Worldcon in Seattle (
@seattlein2025Seattle Worldcon 2025) or just follows what's going on in that scene, then I beg you, please go easy on the Worldcon organizers. There's apparently some controversy around them deciding to use ChatGPT to vet possible panelists. Their statement on that is here: https://seattlein2025.org/2025/04/30/statement-from-worldcon-chair-2/ I'm not into SF conventions, but one of my favorite SF authors posted about this. 1/?

Have you bought/read my second book yet?
If you have, PLEASE review it on Amazon. Currently there are ZERO reviews there, which means the book is effectively invisible.
Would that authors didn't need to rely on such things, but the reality is that we do. Can you lend a hand and fill in the review gaps?
AI is one of the most horrific risks to human civilization in history. NOT because some imaginary super intelligent AI would take over the world, but because Big Tech CEOs are using generative AI to utterly destroy the ability of anyone to trust information. These billionaire CEOs -- who Trump accurately says are "kissing his ass" -- are "poisoning the well" of our information society, while decimating their workforces, screwing society, and smiling all the way to the bank.

@dbDavid Bushell ☕ It’d be great to get a report at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com with the screen recording. It’s ok if you have no idea what’s happening. Just describe what you see as buggy behavior and what you expect instead. Along with facts like it being two sub-domains, etc. Reply with The FB number anytime and I’ll pass along the ping to the right people.
This was a fun panel!

@csarvenSarven Capadisli Thanks very much, which spec has defined interop and which does not? Feel free to tell me to read some stuff!
@jimJim Killock They're all generally internally consistent and interoperable. My point re authn/z, was that #ActivityPub for example doesn't define particular mechanisms, which is why an independently developed AP-client and AP-server can't talk to each other. Ditto AP-server w/ another AP-server. That's based on spec, as opposed to specific implementations agreeing on terms prior to communication / out of band. What's out there is mostly a software implementation offering both AP-client and AP-server.
Looking at Solid Project: Can anyone give an overview of how this fits together with or complements ActivityPub?

While there’s a lot of shit going on, I think it’s important to not lose sight of the small good and great things.
this afternoon my brain is going to repl-driven development, and also smalltalk-style vm development ... is the reason the former isn't super popular and the latter died out because they are basically balls of mutable state? which ends up being hard to scale?
