I can’t really speak for how much work it would be from the designers’ side, but for an open source project, it’s great to have somebody reach out to offer to contribute a logo, for example.
It’s a valuable addition to a project, and a great way to contribute.
We need more graphic design in open source software.

Did I mention the rain? Well, that’s also a thing.
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. 🤷♂️
Ah, yes. That’s another one I totally forgot about. I’ll also add Maybeshewill to the list, then (https://open.spotify.com/album/6RxORosZYPqH4fkxMraaA9?si=q1uFDxLBSPa_XLdhW3FyZw).
Fun fact: I remembered them by going through the (pretty great) lineup for https://arctangent.co.uk/line-up/ you posted.
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.

That’d be fun indeed. I’d love to see what you’d think would be a good fit! 🤩

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. ❤️

Haha, thanks! That old picture was the last photo ever professionally taken of me, but that’s five years and more than fifty pounds ago.
I figured I’d use one from my camera roll instead, and found this one where I tried on my nephew’s new glasses.
I’m fine with discussing the technical implications of a change like this, but the responses to the change were mostly “the old name wasn’t intended badly”, “I don’t see the problem” and “this won’t fix anything”.
I’m quite sure none actually have a local Rails checkout, or are in any way affected by this technically.

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.
The tools should definitely switch to a better default.
That said, there’s no reason not to be ahead of the curve switching to the new name for any new projects, and asking your users to switch branches in their local checkouts isn’t a big deal either.
It’s certainly no reason for a backlash like we’ve seen after Rails switched last week. 🤷♂️
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.
Is it “vish”? Or “fiss”? 🤭
Hang in there Rafael, thanks for all the work you’ve done over the years, and please ignore the dudes. ❤️
Dutch people pronouncing the word “smooth” is one of my favorite things. It’s anywhere from “smoot”, to “smoof”. Even “smooft”.
They get a bit squished against the right side from time to time, but nothing too bad so far. Maybe that’s related to which docs you use? Elixir’s seem to be quite short.
Yo, @github. wtf?

That sets have no unique values, and they’re unordered:
irb> Set[3,3,3,2,2,2,1]
=> #<Set: {3, 2, 1}>
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(!)
