Maybe an SMTP or connection error. (Seems reasonable to blame my home internet or my work email host).
I think I remember it saying 'timeout'.

One time, I tried to use git-send-email to send 3 commits to a mailing list. It failed to send the third email. So I repeated the process, but sent only the third email. On the lists.sr.ht page, the third commit appears as a separate thread. I'm not sure how I was supposed to salvage that.
This graph shows what happens if you *backload* the hard problems, doing them last.
This means that for a larger amount of time, you have a HIGHER risk of your assumptions being invalidated, and you'll have MORE progress which is rolled back as a result of those assumptions being invalidated.

Makes me want to get back into #Stepmania. Are there any good stepfile authors available by commission?
@toffy
Should we all standardize on https://schema.org/Recipe
Asking because I've been sitting on a bunch of recipes (some on paper, some PDF) which I plan to someday digitize.

Fun fact: if present-day US copyright law had been in force at the time that Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" was made, Lewis Carol's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" would not have entered the public domain for another 17 years

Well, cuberite (open source minecraft compatible server) has given it a shot... and produced a few talks about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcdwRt0RKPU -- but I think it may be following more closely in the rewrite's footsteps

Yay! I have officially made and published my first GNOME desktop application. 🎉️🎉️🎉️
It is called "Short Circuit" , it is a developer scratch pad. If this description does not make sense (Most probably it does not) check out the repo's readme for a clear explanation of what it does https://gitlab.gnome.org/Bharatkalluri/short-circuit.

Eh, no.
Github actually does a good job in a a lot of their functionality (despite much not working without js).
Every action is a post request, so they just send forms over. JS just autosubmits the forms in the background and maybe reloads part of the page (in jquery, that's like `$('#element').load('url/of/page #element');`)
(Where they go wrong is by hiding the submit buttons with CSS rather than with noscript tags)
I just published my first project on sourcehut - https://sr.ht/~philipwhite/webpad/.
My goal is for it to be "notepad.exe for the internet". Not that I necessarily want it to get hugely popular. I just want something extremely simple that provides some of the benefits that Google Docs provides without all the downsides and bloat that comes with Google Docs.
The server is written in Haskell, which may cut down the audience of who would contribute, but please don't be shy. I would enjoy if more than just me were interested in the project.

Looks like you're trying to write a text editor 📎!
Atom's teletype uses commutative replicated data types. (https://github.com/atom/teletype-crdt) may be a little overkill (server to client changes possible), but it has some links which may be worth reading.

Yes. On input time, sanitize (if the field is supposed to be only alphanumeric, make it alphanumeric). On output time, escape.
If the users want to enter raw html into the field, they should just know that it's going to get escaped.
Escaping before putting into the database is just going to end you up with a bunch of double escaping problems. (Double escaping is not best practice).

Forms cannot **yet** submit DELETE or PUT requests. It would be much safer to just use an arbitrary verb, like `e880ccc6-d32f-4eaa-b850-2e513eb7b97b-ing`.

Is it internally consistent for someone to be a nihilist **and** promote a software development and design philosophy as being more good than other philosophies?

On version 2, and it's still promising... I just wish it didn't trigger a 1GB avalanche of JavaScript dependencies on install.

Not too convinced about the conclusion drawn here: it could also mean that blind people learn gestures by *hearing* the gestures performed by others, especially when falling raindrops allow precise three dimensional echo location imaging...
