  Can't argue here: Discord is "probably the biggest content platform operated by the discord community" To be fair I am 70% sure this person is ~15 Hmm just realized I missed a potential lewd misinterpretation in favor of the wholesome dad interpretation My team at work is looking for a Ruby on Rails engineer! At Meedan we build software that helps fact-checkers at news organizations coordinate their work. Meedan has been a remote-only company for ~15 years and is quite good at it. Check out the job post here: https://meedan.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=30 Feel free to DM me if you have specific questions. TriMet has now updated their official app to say masks are "recommended" rather than required...

 I end up having to apologize for implementing things in ~10 lines of non-React-ish highly performant code, simply because it's not implemented the bloated way React wants me to. And like, I understand why, when you are using a framework, it makes sense to buy in to the framework's way of doing things. But also....... sometimes vanilla JS and the DOM is the actual best way to make stuff happen @darius, not just React. I remember the bad ol' days when frameworks/libraries/versions of jQuery saved one the effort of managing a bunch of shims and workarounds etc. But around a year or so after ES6, yeah, they often add a lot of bloat to both the dev and end-user experience. Applications are open for the 2022 Processing Foundation fellowships. You can apply to work on any part of the Processing ecosystem, or apply for a teaching fellowship. https://processingfoundation.org/fellowships (This is not something I'm affiliated with, so all I know about it is what is at the link.) Ahhh neat, @rra and others are running a workshop May 13-14 to help existing communities get onto Hometown. Looks like the prerequisite is to set up an instance (either self hosted or just purchased via a host like @support). Then the workshop is going to focus on the *social* aspects of running a small community and how to keep it lively and sustainable. Cool stuff!! https://txt.lurk.org/how-to-run-a-small-social-networking-site/ that joke about "why are all the hot girls from the same country, where even is [trans flag emoji]"? but it's "why do all the hot girls speak the same language? what even is toki pona?" Niche thing but it looks like Microsoft Teams is finally going to support Firefox, maybe as soon as the end of April: https://www.techradar.com/news/microsoft-teams-will-finally-play-nice-with-mozilla-firefox  @darius Nice, I have a copy of Chrome on the work laptop which I only use for talking to clients on Teams.  @darius Nice. I usually use Teams on Firefox to read and send messages and files. For that, it works. "im not owned! im not owned!!", the lettuce continues to insist as it slowly shrinks and is transformed into a big mac

"Login to a bastard host who insists on it" Some internet mail code comments (presumably a TODO for this blank function) from 1979 - 1981. This was pre-SMTP, using MTP with FTP as a backup. https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=BBN-Vax-TCP/src/mtp/mailer.c Love this little chunk of hard-earned wisdom from Dave Clark, an early Internet pioneer. "If you want your application to be robust, you got to put the shit in." Important point here that mail (in this case over SMTP) was basically the earliest internet application that had to "just work" because it was fire-and-forget. FTP came before mail, and was critical, but also it was something that when it failed, it failed noisily and you could call someone to fix it. If your mail is not delivered, you might never know!
