With the upcoming curfew, now’s probably the time to get a proper internet connection at home. 🤔
I just unmuted myself to say this during our integrations team meeting:
“You need the internet to download things from the internet.” 🧠
Whenever I want to make that joke about hard problems in computer science, I’ll look up https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TwoHardThings.html and realize I should just post this instead.

Alright, naming things. A test has states, like “passed”, “failed” and “skipped”. What’s should the state before the test is run be called? Any suggestions?
Right now, “upcoming” is the best I can come up with. Or “pending”, but that’s used by libraries like RSpec to describe skipped tests, so using that could be confusing.
We need more graphic design in open source software.

Mastodon’s (and other fediverse alternatives) barriers to mass adoption are two-fold, I think.
First, and probably the most important, is reach. If your peers are on Twitter, you’ll post there, even if the level of interaction is higher on Mastodon (which seems to be the case, but n=1).
The other one is UX. Federation is amazing, but it’s not something most users want to worry about. Mastodon is doing a great job, but the issue of picking a server and trouble finding people remains.
Thinking about solving this, I generally circle back to centralization. A (paid) server that hides federation, with a clean UI, an app for your phone, and a bridge to Twitter.
Then again, we’d run the risk of getting back to where we started. 🤷♂️
Finally took the time to package my updated Terminal.app color scheme.
Introducing darklight.terminal: a color profile that automatically switches background colors in macOS’s dark and light modes.

The plutil command obeys no one's rules but its own.
I’ve been working on a test runner for #gleamlang called Shine.
I’m planning the first release, so It’d be great if you could try using it in your Gleam or Erlang project, and let me know of any issues (or test result differences with eunit) you find. ❤️

Here’s your periodical reminder not to draft long stories in <textarea>s on the internet, even if that website usually does remember your draft after you press the back button.
Also, yes of course I should know better by now.
I’ve taken to cycling to my (remote) office, which is half an hour each way. Great idea, in theory. In practice, it’s cold. Dark. Endless.
✨ The “original intent” is not important ✨ ✨ If you weren’t offended by the old branch name, the change wasn’t made for you. ✨ ✨ Other people exist. ✨
Switch branches in your local checkout. You can figure it out.
Dutch people pronouncing the word “smooth” is one of my favorite things. It’s anywhere from “smoot”, to “smoof”. Even “smooft”.
Yo, @github. wtf?

So what’s the gotcha with making port forwarding work with Docker compose?
It seems to work for everyone but me. Reinstalling Docker for Mac last week worked for a while, but it stopped working again and another reinstall didn’t work. 🤷♂️
My 5-line Vim plugin (https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/vim-numbertoggle) reached 500 stars on GitHub, and that must surely mean something. It took 15 days short of 9 years(!)

One of my favorite productivity tips is to unwatch all repositories you don’t need to read every update from.
By default, you’ll watch everything in your organization, which is probably overkill. If you unwatch, you’ll only get notified when you’re mentioned or participating.
Another command I forget the argument order for whenever I need it a couple of times a year:
$ git rebase --onto ⟨new base⟩ ⟨old base⟩
“Git, I wish I hadn’t based the current branch on ⟨old base⟩, but on ⟨new base⟩.”
A long shot, but does anyone have any experience with transcribing audio? How is it done?
I tried slowing the audio down through VLC to be able to keep up with typing, but that makes it difficult to understand what’s being said. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t some easier way.
