@jonatanskogsfors I started with a brief overview of the history of version control, like RCS, CSV, Subversion, bitkeeper, what changes they made to the abstract data model and what features that allowed, and then I showed the anatomy of the git data model, abstract and concrete, interactively on the command line, inspecting the blob, the tree and the commit.

So that people really understand where everything is coming from when you do a git commit or git checkout.

People were kind. Comments like "... interesting, but maybe a bit advanced".

I think what they meant was "you took an hour of my time and I still don't know why there's git fetch and why github says my master is 50 commits behind".

Kid started enjoying my jalapeño chips and jalapeño pretzel bits.

Nothing is safe from him anymore.

Well, except the vegetables.

Sometimes I think back to that time that I explained git to a bunch of colleagues the way I would have wanted it explained to me.

It would become clear that nobody there wanted git explained to them that way.

@jwildeboer Wow! Yes, this is amazing. I had no idea.

Even though it's not enough, it's encouraging to see that things don't have to become worse all the time.

The statistics I have learned is that Sweden is at 6 t/person/year and Stockholm is at 3 t/person/year, but now Sweden is down to 4 t/person/year. Apparently I learned my figures around 20 years ago.

Before the 1970s oil crisis it was at almost 12!

My brother recommended the TV series #Severance to me two years ago.

Now I finally had a look, and wow does that show pull you in.

And then nooooo you can't end on a cliffhanger like that!?! And it's been two years, will there even be a season two after so long, or has this magic been canceled?

*checks web*

2025? 2025-01-17? Yessssss!!

Couldn't have picked a better time to dive into this!

@jk You’re absolutely 100% correct about this. The web is a great hypertext browsing system but a *terrible* application platform. All web “apps” live right at the bottom of the uncanny valley of software UIs, who knows what this button will do when I click it or what invisible and unnecessarily asynchronous process will be kicked off before it responds. It’s terrible and what baffles me is *nobody seems to care*. Nobody under the age of forty even remembers anything different!

This morning's weekly, physical presence catch-up

Me to $COLLEAGUE: Ok, I want to hold a demo of $APP at 2 pm, so try to get some of that data imported on Testing before then. Remember, cheating is allowed, don't make the script perfect, hard-code what you need to, include only data for the team we will demo as, etc.

Our manager, broad smile on his face: Now you're starting to sound like a real PO!

🤣

Thankfully we got the data in place with one hour's margin, so we had time for proper lunch.

My colleague figured out most of it on his own first, and then we paired up for the last hour and worked together to get everything right, massaged the data, double-checked that we had got the right fields, etc, and that the data looked right in the UI.

@CarlMuckenhoupt The protocol for the Fediverse before 2016 was literally an atom feed per person, made realtime by WebSub (then PubSubHubbub). ActivityPub is a rewrite and a refinement of that model.

There is no technical reason why RSS readers and fedi clients treat feed contents differently, it's all UI convention. As others have pointed out, Mastodon provides RSS feeds out and Friendica can consume normal RSS and Atom feeds.

The first fedi server implementation, GNU Social (a.k.a. StatusNet, née laconi.ca), allowed you to subscribe to normal Atom feeds, as long as they had a PubSubHubbub pub.

@loke I mean, I assume most of what he wrote *after* he was 12 was probably better but 😄

I'll be curious to see how this piece will be handled by society; I'd love for it to become an inside joke, a reference people leave in their own music as a nod to each other, like the Wilhelm Scream or the Amen Break.

If my name were MacReady

I wonder how often I would ask kid "are you MacReady" and hope to get back "I was *born* MacReady.

This isn't something that ACPI enabled - in the absence of ACPI firmware vendors would just be doing this unilaterally with even less OS involvement and we'd probably have even more of these issues. Ideally we'd "simply" have hardware that didn't support transitioning back to opaque code, but we don't (ARM has basically the same issue with TrustZone)

@bkhl Han är här! 😊

@excds

Björn, jag har aldrig insett att vi har en delad cirkel utanför fedi, du är en fediperson för mig. 🤣😅
