long, human authored

The [markdownlang] post is a multi-layered satirical self reflection about labour disposability:

  • Surface level: markdownlang as a tool that I built and am probably not going to release even though I had many funny things planned around it. This is intended to satirize how programming is actually being done today and how newer people are spinning up to the profession. There is self-reflective questioning of "is this really going to be the new layer of abstraction"?
  • Middle layer: industry critique about what the purpose of our job really is: is our job to write the fucking code or is our job to figure out how to translate vague specifications into the layers of abstraction and clear thought required to actually make the programs happen? This is intended to reflect on various things I've run into in my career (product people that seem to understand what they think they want, but not what they actually want). Also fucking documentation always going out of date the minute you write it. Fuck that noise. The core point here is to point out how fucking magic the UX of just saying "make it purple" and it making it purple is.
  • Core layer: as a workforce our labour is now disposable because any product person with a dream and a claude max subscription can now say "make the user's icon have party streamers when it's their birthday". I demonstrate the horror with the reveal that markdownlang was not authored by human hands, and was instead fed into a loop of claudes code with an API key to a self hosted model so that it could create a spec, iterate on it, discover flaws, remediate them, implement those remediations, and continue until the end result works.

"I love this idea of programming as description, but I hate how something like this will be treated by the market should it be widely released."

This is the core thesis statement. This is the big kahuna in terms of messaging. The horror is that "good enough" is becoming good enough.

As an added note, at the end of the post I mention that it was authored in the voice of one of my blog personae, specifically the one that does heavily unmarked shitposting but genuinely means well and wants people to improve. This means that my authorial voice is delegated to a character, intended to mirror the themes of abstraction, replacement, and disposability.

Halo, czy jest tu ktoś z Gdyni? Podobno Wasze miasto zaczęło obchody 100-lecia, a nasza członkini Martyna Regent z tej okazji zaczęła swoją akcję 100 wniosków na 100-lecie Gdyni. Martyna ma w planach składać wnioski dotyczące rozwiązań jawnościowych - publikowania konkretnych rzeczy w BIP, ale też umocowania tego trwale w statutach czy regulaminach. To kontynuacja jej projektu "Gdyńskie standardy jawności". O wszystkim będzie informowała na swoim profilu na FB. Zachęcamy do obserwowania i inspirowania się również w innych miastach (wnioski i odpowiedzi będą udostępnianie).

Ręka trzyma granatowe zaproszenie z napisem „100 Gdynia 1926–2026” oraz „Zaproszenie” na tle zimowego, zaśnieżonego brzegu morza z kry i spokojną wodą w oddali.

Tisíce Albánců na demonstraci žádalo rezignaci premiéra Ediho Ramy. Sešli se před jeho úřadem na popud opozice. Někteří použili pyrotechniku a způsobili požár na schodech před vchodem. Protestující Ramu obviňují z napojení na obchodníky s drogami a vyčítají mu korupční kauzy. Podezření ze zneužívání státních zakázek čelí i vicepremiérka.

We heard you. has been shut down, all indexed data deleted, and the source code removed. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Our approach was built with the deepest respect for user consent, but we understand it could rightfully be seen as misusing the indexable flag that many users didn't consciously enable. This highlighted a real conversation the Fediverse needs about default settings. Thank you for the feedback.

Hi there, Shop friends. Because it came up in some reports, I wanted to let you know the current take on holos.social.

You can read up on it here: discover.holos.social/how-it-w

The TL;DR is, this is a legit ActivityPub-based fediverse project taking a slow road and an ethical approach to building a fedi-wide search.

I'll continue to pay attention to its progress, but as yet there's no reason for an instance-wide block. It is nothing but a follower for your account, so you may block it yourself.

田秋堇,哽咽回憶:

「兇手,為了不讓 林義雄的媽媽 大喊
直接割斷 她的喉嚨 … 」

大安分局員警 翹著二郎腿,不屑地對我說:
『你們要好好反省,為什麼有人要殺你們呀!』

我告訴自己,我不能離開台灣,
要讓他們知道,繼續殺 台灣人是沒用的。」

샘표 실망. 간장·고추장·발효 조미료 등을 제조하는 샘표식품은 원가 하락에도 과점 지위를 이용해 주요 제품 판매가격을 10.8% 인상했고, 지난해 영업이익이 수백억원대로 300% 이상 폭증했다. 하지만 이조차도 사주 자녀 소유 법인 포장용기 고가 매입, 사주 자녀법인에 고액 임차료 지급 등의 방법으로 축소 신고한 것으로 나타났다.

Are there any solid articles on good use cases for actors? Given how they work, reentrancy, impossibility of sync blocking calls to async functions, etc, I’ve been having a real hard time trying to find a good use case, especially in a pre-existing code base. The f…riendly swift concurrency article hints at actors being services that process data. What about mutable data objects? Shouldn’t they be actors as well?

Another reason I'm on Blacksky more these days is because I can actually be angry and still talk to people in the midst of it because there's more space for Black folks to be human there.

There's always this pearl clutching moment in the fedi when I express anger about something because if I'm not perfectly calm and collected all the time, it's automatically 'bad' because, of course, Black folks should be amenable in the face of constant violent oppression.

Of course there are white people who still try to do the 'angry' thing on there, but it's not a big deal because there are more people who understand why I'm pissed and don't try to downplay it for the sake of conversation.

The fedi still doesn't know how to deal with Black rage if it doesn't come in a neatly manicured box with a bow.

In case anyone is interested, two facts:

1. Somerville's Finance cmte meets tonight (in 30 min) with open public comment session on next year's budget. You get 2 minutes if you sign up.

somervillema.legistar.com/Meet

2. My public comment is turning out to be approximately shaped like the meter of the Modern Major General song. I've tentatively decided to lean into it. Perhaps I will at least get people to giggle and pay attention.
