Quite a few major 's implemented today, API writes, password logins, full-text search. Wonder what's going to follow.

Anybody here actively working in or has contributed to (in any capacity) conservation (be it flora or fauna)?

You know, as interesting as that sounds, I wouldn't at all know where to begin with something like that. Do you have a suggestion?

I suggest looking around your area first, perhaps there are conservation groups already. Then, select among them which one focuses on native species that are most impactful to your place. 😁

This is how one accidentally encourages the creation of timehash services which vend cryptographically provable timestamps....

I was contemplating pwc372, p2 and came up with “- 1+&/-/'(&'(?x)=x)@0 -1” (goal). Conceptually I like it, but maybe it can be simplified further?

I'm doing experiments with short attention-span students and code. Starting with python, and, oddly, now working in BASIC. As a C programmer of 40+ years, I find this aesthetically and pedagogically displeasing, but I am delighted to see them getting fully absorbed in writing 130 PRINT "You have been eaten by a bear!" : GOTO 900. Yes there is spaghetti, but it's their spaghetti and they seem to take delight in debugging it. Python will come later.

I was talking about this with some alumni students, specifically their experience learning python with us a few years earlier (these are college students who are not really using python any more). What it seems to boil down to is that with python you have the feeling that there is this huge forest of solutions to any problem you are having -- but you will never know the whole forest. BASIC feels like you "know" it after a day or two of playing around, evidently.

Sigh. On the heels of , I just went into our garage to find a panel of insulation fallen to the ground, riddled with mouse droppings. 🤢😫 Cleaned it up (gloved and masked, naturally), but probably means we need to re-insulate the whole garage. Which will undoubtedly uncover a leak or some other issue. The fun never ends!

Obviously, I realize that it's a privilege to own a home and have issues like this to deal with 🧎‍♂️

This is really cool site but only drawback I see is 500 character per post limit. I think this should me more like 1500. or there is a limitations type something like I can do 3-4 long post per day credit. whom can i message for this feature request?

I am certain will get back to you on such matters - creator of this platform.

On some Mastodon instances, they post whole blog posts or massive threads and I feel this type of platform is not the place for such content. But this is clearly personal taste.
