Text of the page (random words):
pears to work with the online support people they have on twitter if you try to chat with them or call them on the phone they read from a script which has you completely tear down and rebuild your system before they ll consider thinking about the data you have and all this after keeping you on hold listening to their insidious advertising for 15 or more minutes i don t think the other twitter like systems have any critical mass with support people from isps not like twitter btw support is one place chatgpt would excel btw all kinds and i don t think too many people will lose their jobs because their support systems are so bad because they don t hire enough people or give them enough time with customers or training to actually help them very much i know how to completely tear down the network without them instructing me how to do it thursday april 4 2024 today we got doc s blogroll working on his wordpress blog this is the first of our blogrolls on wordpress anywhere it s been tricky to get the css worked out but we re getting there it s worth the effort threads maybe the atlantic or new yorker could write a detailed article about what the great purges in china and russia were like how many millions died hitler isn t the only recent model for an authoritarian government we should be studying this you can be sure trump s government has and is understanding ap and rss what does activitypub does that rss doesn t off the top of my head it s not the ability to syndicate rss already does that i can follow anyone on any server i think it s the timeline and the ability to delete posts keeping all that in sync is a lot of work and presumably a lot of traffic also replies if i reply to a post when viewing it on another server the reply should show up under any other view of that post what else ps only thinking about features that are used by mastodon to federate not potential future features if that were the rule then rss could do anything ap could do right because you can always add the feature so just the features that are in use pps i posted this on mastodon and may post it elsewhere if i do i ll link them in here they call me el grandé back in the valley some of my friends called me el grandé some still do dave jacobs has been playing with chatgpt art and sent me this one and i thought it belonged here dave jacobs calls me el grandé ps you say the el part softly then pause on the g and add a slightly gutteral h before proceeding with rand and then stretch out the ay with a smile and you got it pps you could roll the r too for fun if you re into it ppps guy kawasaki calls me beeeeeeg stuffff wednesday april 3 2024 i wonder if people know that news scripting com is a simple ui on top of feedland it s 98 feedland 2 hiding the power so people will feel more comfortable i m thinking of pulling back the curtain twitter is the place old friends who haven t heard they should find a new home are still posting there are quite a few of them fact it s kind of like what facebook has become there are a set of people i expect to see there regularly and that s why i keep going back again fact i want all the information i want all the information about the products i make to be instantly available to anyone who wants to know in exactly the form they want it until chatgpt that was a totally unattainable dream but now for many topics it s reality for example if i have a question about css and believe me i do if i can ask the question clearly enough i can get a clear and complete explanation of why the browser did the crazy thing with layout that it did it means i could do something beautiful and refined like the blogroll i worked on in february and march and the ui stuff i m working on in march and april i can t wait until chatgpt can answer all those questions about my stuff but then people who make music don t want their songs to be available the same way as someone who wants to know as much as possible about songs i have always loved but had no idea how they were made or what they meant to the writer knowledge about the work is equally valuable as understanding technical topics i think the big difference is knowing that life is short and if we want to leave something behind of ourselves having the information be available is a blessing not something to fight against i don t see why software designers in the future should have to reinvent what my generation has already figured out i don t want them to have to it keeps coming back to this one idea to solve the problems we have as a species we re going to have to work together and part of that means not being so guarded and selfish about sharing what we ve learned we had this problem with music before with napster the users of music such as myself found that the ability to program our own music was so liberating to listen to a song a few times before moving on made a huge difference or to choose a song to hear because we just thought of it for the first time in 30 years but we were literally mocked by music promoters and artists but ultimately like it or not the users got the power they wanted it s got to happen that way too for chatgpt et al i guess some people must ve felt that search engines were going to rob creative people of control of their creations i guess this is something we always have to go through tuesday april 2 2024 blogroll software update we re starting to test the blogroll software with a few users but we hit a problem before we began the blogroll code includes the css for the bootstrap toolkit i use it as if it were part of the os but not everyone does and it changes the global values of things so when you install it on a page that has its own ideas how things should work you can get an unpleasant effect to put it mildly so i created a localized subset of bootstrap s styles to be a better guest in other people s pages that is now done i expect we ll see more of that kind of thing web plugins are a new area for me i guess that s pretty obvious it s time for our own hero the runner from the 1984 ad is perfect this is what she looks like i can t stand to look at images of trump or his followers fed up with it i want our own heroes when i see a picture of trump and they are impossible to avoid i will envision a washed out picture of a dead dictator on a screen and the runner slinging the hammer at the image and it crashing she represents life and strength she is the america i love monday april 1 2024 we need a resistance movement that reporters can report on a new women s march for reproductive health would be a great place to start i m not giving up on journalism yet just knowing they need to see a resistance to report on it that means big marches streets filled with americans who will sound angry and determined when interviewed by reporters and spokespersons who can be interviewed by maddow and blitzer ken smith summarizes figure out what kinds of events the press likes to cover then create that kind of event that s right let s not argue about what the press should cover we can t change them just give them what they need to do the right thing after a couple of tests the fix below is implemented here for some reason i wasn t subscribed to my own feed which accounted for the fact that updates from this blog weren t getting into the blogroll that troubles me i have to try to piece together how that happened in the meantime it s nice to have the instant updating working again i didn t know that i had missed it but i did i introduced a bug in the blogroll code where it was ignoring instant updates probably the sexiest feature in the whole thing the bug was introduced on march 21 so it s been there a while you have to hard reload the page to get the new version so when i post this on scripting news it should move to the top of the list immediately so a good use case is to leave scripting news open with the blogroll visible and every once in a while you may find something interesting to read i like having it there but of course it s my baby so that s understandable i tried listening to one of kara swisher s interviews for her new book the interviewer was someone i respect brian lehrer at wnyc but he has an old and imho unfair view that craigslist and facebook are responsible for the demise of local news i was surprised when he said as much near the start of the interview then swisher went into an obviously very well rehearsed schpiel that confirmed that he was absolutely right and the tech gods weren t fooling anyone ok that was my limit i switched to another podcast she s got a great business model tell the press what they want to hear and you will get good press pretty much guaranteed started a new outline for the month of april with march safely archived on github if you want to read the month in outline form click this link and it will open read only in drummer that s a pretty good approximation of how i edit it except i use the desktop version of drummer that writes files to the local mac filesystem as well as to the cloud sunday march 31 2024 tomorrow is of course april 1 when people on the net lie about the people they hate and call it humor an advantage of using an outliner to edit a blog is that you can easily split one post into several because they re edited in one document or move a paragraph from one story to another with drag and drop in a page oriented editor you get to focus on the writing for one page but navigating outside that post is more jarring a writer more easily loses the train of thought i ve been writing in an outliner almost exclusively for decades only now considering the writing world outside learning a lot i start a fresh outline for this blog on the first of every month so tomorrow i will archive my blog opml file on github start a new month and delete the previous month i ve been doing that since 2017 when i finally forever gave up trying to interop with the great blogging silos ie twitter and facebook mainly i think outlining is like double diamond skiing but for writing machine visualized blog post i asked chatgpt to illustrate a post i wrote yesterday saturday march 30 2024 milestone a feedland blogroll in a wordpress page popular on mastodon the reason it s nice to have old people around is that we don t care about the future in a personal way so we might just tell you the truth the language of developers i loved hanging out with fellow math and compsci majors in college and grad school it s nice when you get to speak in the language of math and programming where you can t be fuzzy about things you have to be direct because it s the only way to communicate no one attaches their feelings to the things other people say in this context but sometimes it hurts anyway i think i ve told this story many times i had posted some example code on the door to the office i shared with a few other teaching assistants at uw in the late 70s and there was a mistake in it it wouldn t have compiled if i had tried to run it i was told by a ta who was senior to me never to do this again it stung for an instant but i recall suppressing that and accepting that the op was right i should never have to learn this lesson again and as far as i know many years have passed and i have never have had to re learn that one though i have with many others but nothing prepared me for the experience in 1981 or so when the company i was working for hired a professional tester to report on the software page after page of my mistakes written in cold dispassionate unyielding text with no concern for anyone s feelings and since i was the lead developer on the project the feelings were pretty much all mine but the concerns were valid some of the things were the result of confusion about how the product worked and others were outright mistakes all of them were my responsibility later when i started and ran a company of my own i hired people to test our software in exactly the same way many many years later if you work with me on a project i expect you to report problems with my code directly please don t beat around the bush i ve been through this a million times it still stings sometimes but i recover quickly because my mission is to make flawless software a feeling that the software thinks like i do that only comes from addressing all the issues you can no software is ever anything close to perfect but we strive to make it more perfect this is the ethos of developers and why our conversations may sound weird to others ps an editorial about news that expresses the same idea friday march 29 2024 busy day programming i m doing well lite blogging day i have to admit that i like cats people think they don t have a sense of humor but they do this is a test for the next sixty seconds this station will conduct a test of the blog posting system not an emergency i ll leave you with this question where is the resistance one more thing why isn t michael moore on msnbc give him an hour on saturday it would be the most watched program they have call it michael moore tells you the truth about what s actually going on and what you should do it could be a call in show my first question for him would be how can i help the resistance i added michael moore to my blogroll thursday march 28 2024 working on a big software project is like hiking the appalachian trail you keep a diary so people who come through there next year and the year after will know what you tried and why it didn t work like using a get when the restful thing is a post i once got excoriated by a famous security expert in public for doing this xml rpc only uses post but i had and have the best intentions back then in 1998 when i made the choice i was juggling a billion flaming bowling pins back then there was no chatgpt to ask about prior art i had to move on well here we are again in 2024 i hope the next person traveling through the area in question sees what i didn t see people who have worked on my code know that if you read it in an outliner you ll see lots of blog posts with extensive comments that read more like a blog than software some functions have a thread of comments going back to the early 90s and not just from me outliners are great for writing code because a long comment takes up exactly one line until you expand it so you can go on and on and not stop until you re finished thank you and have a nice day the first time chatgpt argued with me it said i was wrong but in fact it was wrong doubly foreboding braintrust query i ve been encouraged to switch to the mysql2 package for node saying that it would improve performance and compatibility i m interested in knowing if people had problems and is the new package much better than the original an algorithm for content moderation for reducing the human contact trolls have if you notice an account that gets blocked by a lot of people who don t follow them after they reply to one of their posts then slow them down or throw out their replies eventually if it keeps up you pretty mu...
