To claim this, I am signing this object:

For uri-identifiers that are non-webfinger identifiers, you'll see people say @wilkie.fyi and this will mean it does discovery by looking at that page and discovering via content negotiation and/or links. This is useful for people who are creating content on sites that doesn't implement webfinger, for instance a blogging or photo posting site. They'll add Link tags instead and use a full URI. Basically: it is eas(ier) to syndicate that content without having to own the domain, but hard to add something to .well-known.

I might be @example.org/wilkie or even, dare I say, @mastodon.social/@wilkie but it will still look like @wilkie to humans. The same methods you are using to disambiguate, but hide the details to human beings, will still work here.

To disambiguate, in AS2, mentions and "hashtags" etc can be parsed universally using tag:

{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  "name": "A thank-you note",

This is an example of how to present a route in Sinatra that returns a colored version of an existing svg. This assumes the first line is the line, which is what inkscape produces. Just drop in any svg, and it will give you one where it is colored in with the given color.

/dynamic/foo.svg returns the normal image.

/dynamic/foo.svg?color=red gives you a red image.

/dynamic/foo.svg?hue=150&sat=50&light=50 gives you a slightly green version of the image.

/dynamic/foo.svg?hex=fff gives a white version of the image.

Disrupting Ruby Naming

Let's say you, a native Spanish speaker, wanted to write some code and use a library, but you wanted it to be equally functional to a library that already exists, but have Spanish names. So far, our community has been focused on and expecting that everybody learn English. This is enforced in several places, but primarily in our programming languages. Let us be code librarians and ask ourselves: shouldn't we change that?

C

At first, I terrorized C's standard library by replacing the function names with those readable in Spanish. It was a good time.

I love lists! I especially love those that involve both a selection bias AND a confirmation bias!

I especially love the paragraph immediately after the list talking about how the Christian bible discusses how we should "live on less than we make" and instructs us that we should be "saving money and thereby building wealth". What?! God wants me to not be poor?! God should provide me with better health insurance options, a higher minimum wage, more inclusive workers' rights, and better, cheaper access to healthy food options.

1. 70% of wealthy eat less than 300 junk food calories per day. 97% of poor people eat more than 300 junk food calories per day. 23% of wealthy gamble. 52% of poor people gamble.

The wealthy have better and more convenient access (through wealth and physical location) to large grocery stores.
