A quote from Dan Abramov Conceptually, Mastodon is a bunch of copies of the same webapp emailing each other. There is no realtime global aggregation across the network so it can only offer a fragmented … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net Interesting catch from the HN discussion over his article that came out yestereday. I scanned it yesterday and it has some really fascinating diagrams showing different phases of the web being open, to being siloed, to somewhere that we are trying to make it easy to publish, and retain ownership. I don’t know enough about bluesky, but the core is build on the AT protocol, you can self host your own instance, you can build different front ends for it. So rather than having siloed instagram, FB, twitter, there are clones of those platforms that read the same data from everyones data, that they have the option of self hosting. I like this distinction between Mastadon here. Mastadon can also be self host, but its data aggregation is decentralized, so each instance is fragmented and cannot have a complete view of the data. The way that the ATproto does its aggregation is quite fascinating and feels right for an open social platform. I’m probab…

This is a super cool movement, I like the idea of giving access to composable components like we have in open source. You want to build a website you have a bunch of options from raw dogging assembly all the way up to predefined templates that just need your content. Idk if the analogy is perfect but there are aspects of it that work. I see where right now we are somewhere in raw dogging c or python. We have cheap nuts and bolts and some low level things, but once someone needs some coupler like this it’s dropping down to drawing it by hand.

Wow, I’ve never seen or thought of multi setup parts this is very thought provoking, not sure how useful it is as we have good adhesives and stuff for printed parts. I definitely want to try this though

I can’t believe this thing is so devicive. I kinda can’t belive that I sit on the same side as Mathes and his always against the grain, non corporate influenced response. So many others have praised Haiden for bringing back the real gladiator bloodsport that SX is, is it that though?? It’s a race to the finish. different than a lot of other racing its very unpredictable takeout moves happen, occasionally as an accident, often taking both riders down at the same time. Also different than MANY sports we have a huge industry of weekend warriors, Some of which make it into the night show of the biggest race on TV. You see we only bring 20 riders from each class, the top half to top quarter are “Factory” riders, the rest are privateers, sometimes these privateers are completely their on their own. There is also something called a last chance qualifier. This is your last chance to get into the night show, often fought by these privateers out of box vans with their brother as a mechanic. Often that last spot is filled by sketchy on edge riding and takeout moves from a rider that looks like he is barely making it, but would run circles around anyone at your local race. We celebrate these a…

I’m impressed by fastapi-radar from doganarif. A powerful debugging dashboard for FastAPI applications. Monitor HTTP requests, SQL queries, and exceptions in real-time with a beautiful React UI. One-line integration, zero configuration needed.

Epic that this Joslin came back 7 years later to complete this. I thought el Toro was dead, aparantly not. Dude got robbed by a broke ass truck, this must have been eating his soul for the last 7 years.
