Should I write more CS or #programming #books? (http://t3x.org)
I have no idea where to announce my books. Hacker news is a lottery and on Mastodon I sell maybe one copy per week. Maybe! People who read my books seem to enjoy them a lot, but usually stumble across them only by accident.
I am not writing for the money, but a new book selling 20 copies per year is disheartening.
Thoughts?

Austin Henley celebrates and reflects on the 100th post of his blog. You may have read some of his most popular posts such as the series on the challenging projects every programmer should try.

Back of envelope theories of complex systems, as always with my mostly relating to off-hand comments Winograd made in the first page of his Breaking The Complexity Barrier (Again) paper.

What do you think?

Main feature is bootstrapping making these graphs somewhat in terms of themselves metacircularly.

people love to hate react, and it's fair most of the times. it takes way too much effort just to make things look decent without a mountain of tech debt.

with plain html or those meta-frameworks, it feels way more chill: you just write the content, style it up, and boom. no existential crisis over component trees or state management.

but here’s the twist: i still end up using react (usually next.js) for most projects. i feel like it scales pretty well (for 0 users) and is overall pretty fun to write.

No Edrx (https://anggtwu.net/) again, but I will read a note from him about his own type theory quest.

He speaks to some of the different meanings that appear when different people say the words type theory, as appear on the Mastodon recently!

Also, I got a lot of notes on obvious improvements and contex for my https://screwlisp.small-web.org/ articles so far which we can share and talk about!

Hey, hi, hello!

mx here - geek, nerd, jack of many trades (master of none, obviously). Art and design, programming, hacking, reverse engineering, music.

Here mostly for the type and lettering, and to get first-hand fediverse experience.

Attached is a quick digital sketch to commemorate my overdue "some time lurker, first time poster" moment :)

Hey fedi, I need some help!

I am trying to connect an application I am making with the Fediverse. When I search for an actor I am successfully able to get to the profile (yay) but when I search for a post I cannot find it.

I am receiving the GET request and am sending the response with the content type ("application/activity+json") (for example):

{
"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"name":"New Note",
"type":"Note",
"id":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/posts/1",
"attributedTo":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/users/1",
"content":"Hello there!",
"to":[]
}

Why would Mastodon not display the post?
The on Mastodon’s side is returning 403 action not allowed.

Thank you

Hey everyone!

I'm a 19-year-old from Bangladesh, part of the Gen Z generation. I’m passionate about privacy, FOSS, and freedom of speech. As a practicing Muslim, I find balance and peace in my faith.

I love programming, mainly in Python and C for now, and I'm an avid reader. Recently, I fell in love with chemistry after reading "The Disappearing Spoon."

I stand firmly against any forms of racism and genocide. As an introvert, I grew up feeling a bit lonely because I didn't find many people like me.

Looking forward to connecting with like-minded folks here!
