Short URLs are good. Memorable URLs are good. URLs spat out by URL shorteners are something entirely different.
@sicilicaprofilefollowreplied to@bobbyprofilefollow:
The longer the text you need to store, the bigger a QR code needs to be in order to scan reliably. Also, you might be more confident in being able to keep a short URL stable (it's already a step of indirection, so if you want to reorg your site you can just update where the short URL points to). But people don't really take care to maintain short URLs anyway, apparently.

I've been building a Markdown variant called Zd that's focused on extensibility and simplicity. I'm curious what you would change about Markdown if you were designing it from scratch, what challenges you face as a user, or what you wish were easier to do when incorporating Markdown into your own projects.
@tel๐Ÿ˜ดprofilefollowI really enjoy learning, I really enjoy making. I'm learning to be less guarded.replied to@stagas๐Ÿคธprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog:
Yeah, 100%. That is completely something I am punting on currently. It would be easy to just copy over the solution from (extensions to) Markdown, but it's hard to entirely narrow in on both what tables ought to do and how to make them do it. If you had a magic wand, what would you have them be more like?

Let's see how it will handle Bulgarian, because I've seen big messes with automatic translation and I wouldn't be surprised if it's like that now! It would be a very cool feature if it worked, though.

Small idea: add a form of acknowledgement for when youโ€™ve read a reply/tagged post and do not want to quote reply to it necessarily. Could be as simple as a generic checkmark that has no toxic reward pattern attached to it. #metanotesfollow

Imho, these are just cravings. Dopamine is addictive like cocaine and weโ€™ve been trained by SM to seek the acknowledgement like drug addicts seek their next dose.

Implemented #whisper modifier tag. Keeps that note and every reply beneath it out of /latest and /hot. If used on a reply, only its direct parent starts in the conversation; people who reply or are mentioned inside the whisper branch join it. Followers of tags in the whisper branch also receive it in for you. The conversation remains public on profiles, tag pages, threads, and permalinks. Not for private messages. Itโ€™s simply a way to keep a conversation out of peopleโ€™s normal feeds. #metanotesfollow

Very interesting and cool idea! This means that tags now serve a dual purpose, which is not a bad thing. It's useful that people can follow #whispernotesfollow, but perhaps special tags (of which there is currently only one to my knowledge) will eventually need to be called out visually or otherwise #bikesheddingnotesfollow #yakshavingnotesfollow #justparticipatingnotesfollow

Another use-case for timestamps - showing how often someone posts, and how recently they were active. I want to be able to send my friends a link to my user page and say "follow me here for random thoughts". Odds are they're not going to create an account, but they might bookmark it and check for updates from time to time. Timestamps will tell them whether it's worthwhile to do this.
@pcprofilefollowcontinued:
Why not replace them with humanized time periods: "Just now" "A little while ago" "A long time ago" etc.
@sodapopcanprofilefollowMillenial/Xenial who used to be really excited about programming.replied to@pcprofilefollow:
Yes! I made a similar suggestion on HN, though like your labels better. I was thinking a bit more on it that after "just now" and a hypothetical "new" that the timestamp could disappear so long as there has been a response within X amount of time, for example, after 2 months. After this time period it could start saying things like, "a while ago," "quite a while ago," and "a long time ago" based on (for example) 1 years ago, 2 years ago, > 2 years ago.
@stagas๐Ÿคธprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlogreplied to@sodapopcanprofilefollowMillenial/Xenial who used to be really excited about programming.:
Thatโ€™s what we do now. In the post pages there is approximate time with more precise hover informtaion for older posts, so there is context. Also when a post is unread it will show these approximate times so again you can tell when they were written roughly.

Really glad to be using Haskell for work - especially in today's climate with agentic coding. Our team uses containers to keep our development environment consistent across team members, though, and most agent sandbox approaches want to either offload your work fully to the cloud or they want to sandbox the agent harness process itself. We're not ready for full cloud based development (yet?) and sandboxing just the agent doesn't work for us when the agent needs to run docker. #haskellnotesfollow #ainotesfollow
@zenprofilefollowfather, cyclist, #haskellnotesfollow, #emacsnotesfollowcontinued:
... because letting the agent run docker gives them a too-easy escape hatch from their sandbox. So we're currently stuck with using VMs. This turns out to be tricky but seems do-able. My current approach is to provision a VM image and use Incus for the execution. My main goal is to keep my current workflow of local/non-agent dev working seamlessly and share the source with the VM/agent.
@zenprofilefollowfather, cyclist, #haskellnotesfollow, #emacsnotesfollowcontinued:
This means sharing my working dirs with the agent VM but overlaying artifact dirs from VM-owned block devices so we don't take too big of an IO perf hit. I also don't want the agent to be able to git push so that means we need some quirky git config to rewrite origin paths and thread through some agent specific PATs ("thanks" GitHub) for read-only repo access. These ALSO need to be threaded through to the development containers - they need to clone private repos.
@zenprofilefollowfather, cyclist, #haskellnotesfollow, #emacsnotesfollowcontinued:
... in the end, this seems to work but I haven't lived with it for long. There are still some quality of life issues to work out, but I think it'll work out. At this point, I've removed all coding agents from my host - and that's nice.
@zenprofilefollowfather, cyclist, #haskellnotesfollow, #emacsnotesfollowreplied to@stagas๐Ÿคธprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog:
It's tangential to the sandboxing topic, really. I started the first post with a broader intent in mind and then elaborated on the sandboxing setup I'm working on. For AI-assisted coding, though, it's nice because Haskell provides a lot of feedback earlier in the development process compared to lots of other languages. It tends to work once it compiles (obviously not all the time).
