I was interviewed about how media can use new social platforms

Happy that they explicitly mention why I do this work: sure, big tech bad, but the main point is that social media are collective sense making tools, and thats what makes them so extraordinarily valuable

svdj.nl/nieuws/stapje-voor-sta

'Stapje voor stapje de controle terugpakken': hoe media hun publiek kunnen heroveren op Big Tech

Techgiganten bedreigen de democratie en de informatievoorziening, schreven bijna alle Nederlandse media vorige week in een brandbrief aan informateur Buma. De zoektocht naar alternatieven voor sociale media wordt steeds urgenter. Maar welke alternatieven zijn er, en welke kansen bieden die nieuwe platformen de media? Over die vraag buigt analist Laurens Hof zich wekelijks in zijn nieuwsbrief. 'Stappen overheden en bedrijven ook in, of blijft het bij mooie woorden?'

You know and I know and you know that I know, but still, on the record:

Somali immigrants are my neighbors, my friends. I’m so glad my city is where so many have chosen to come live. They make Minneapolis better. Their presence is a blessing.

Somali neighbors: thank you for being here.

Trump administration: you can go directly to hell.

Report: ICE headed to Twin Cities targeting Somali immigrants • Minnesota Reformer

The New York Times reported Tuesday morning that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching an “intensive immigration enforcement operation primarily targeting hundreds of undocumented Somali immigrants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region.”

might not do this but every so often I think of writing an intro to Git for total beginners because when people ask me for an intro to Git I never know what to recommend

seems hard though, I so rarely write anything for total beginners

Functional Quadtrees

Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Functional Quadtrees

A Quadtree is a tree data structure, which is useful for giving more focus/detail to certain regions of your data, while saving resources elsewhere. I could only find a couple tutorials/guides and both were imperative, so I figured it'd be fun to do a functional version in Clojure which runs in the browser.

now supports atomic partial updates using the PATCH method: give it a subdirectory and it will update its contents without touching anything else

you can use it to e.g. upload previews of built documentation without having to maintain giant git checkouts with stale files for thousands of pull requests. and it's efficient, too!

see codeberg.org/whitequark/whiteq for an example workflow

whitequark.codeberg.page/
whitequark.codeberg.page/previ

With feature patch: In response to a PATCH request, the server partially updates a site with new content. The URL of the request must be the root URL of the site that is being published. The request must have a application/x-tar, application/x-tar+gzip, or application/x-tar+zstd body, whose contents is merged with the existing site contents as follows: A character device entry with major 0 and minor 0 is treated as a "whiteout marker" (following unionfs): it causes any existing file or directory with the same name to be deleted. A directory entry replaces any existing file or directory with the same name (if any), recursively removing the old contents. A file or symlink entry replaces any existing file or directory with the same name (if any). In any case, the parent of an entry must exist and be a directory. The request must have a Race-Free: yes or Race-Free: no header. Not every backend configuration makes it possible to perform atomic compare-and-swap operations; on backends without atomic CAS support, Race-Free: yes requests will fail, while Race-Free: no requests will provide a best-effort approximation. If a PATCH request loses a race against another content update request, it may return 409 Conflict. This is true regardless of the Race-Free: header value. Whenever this happens, resubmit the request as-is. If the site has no contents after the update is applied, performs the same action as DELETE.
