Yearly gini coefficients of my music taste. Inequality in this context is good; it means more artists. It seems my listening habits have been a bit narrower since 2024, although this year is still not done, so there's time.
We listened. We reflected. We evolved.

Today we had a nice chat with @mpadge that reminded me of this post I wrote years ago about the benefits of taking dependencies. Essentially: taking a dependency is an invitation to collaborate and form a community. He made me realise that developers using LLMs to re-implement functionality instead of taking dependencies breaks that community.

One of the recurring debates in some spaces of the R community is about dependencies. After a few posts on Mastodon I wanted to capture my opinions on the subject to help me understand them better, and because long-form articles are much better to talk about contentious topics than short-burst posts. Dependencies are invitations for other people to collaborate with you Many thinkers have marvelled at the magic inside books.
hey! do you know things? do you wanna learn things? (i hope the answer to both those things is yes)
the other day, I offered on here that i would be happy to teach folks some basic web and terminal stuff. other people picked up the idea, also saying they'd be happy to teach!
so, because i have too much free time and not enough enrichment in my enclosure, it's a simple website now.
introducing fediLearns: https://fedilearns.fyi (edited name and domain)
want to be involved? send me some real basic info (fedi handle, what you want to share, title for your listing, category) and i'll put it on the site! and of course, share the site, either via this post or your own. I'm using the #fediSkillshares hashtag :)

edit: use #fediLearns ! turns out skillshare is an actual real company that I totally forgot about so I've adjusted a smidge. plus we have an actual domain now so I'm matching the domain :)
This pitiful thing is jupyter's "save as" dialogue. You need to write the route directly. No UI to navigate, no autocomplete paths. "home" doesn't even truly exist; I assume is some lousy shortcut for $HOME or something. It's utterly unusable.
The fact that this awful thing managed to become so popular never ceases to baffle me.
