The idea is to make a two and a half hour (give or take) video course explaining and detailing curl, the command line tool. How it works, how to use it, from the basics to some more advanced uses. This will be done by Daniel Stenberg, founder and lead developer of the curl project.

The recording and live-stream is scheduled for August 31, 2023. In the US morning and Euro evening.

See blog post for details.

The 5-minute guide to the fediverse and Mastodon

There are lots of guides explaining Mastodon and the broader fediverse, but they often go into way too much detail. So I've written this guide - it only talks about the basics you need to know to start using it, and you can then gradually learn the rest from other helpful fediverse users. Let's get started!

The fediverse is not Twitter!

The fediverse is very different from Twitter, and that is by design. It's made for building close communities, not for building a "global town square" or as a megaphone for celebrities. That means many things will work differently from what you're used to. Give it some time, and ask around on the fediverse if you're not sure why something works how it does! People are usually happy to explain, as long as it's a genuine question. Some of the details are explained in this article, but it's not required reading.

The most important takeaway is the "

How to estimate effort

By Golo Roden, translated from German with the help of DeepL

Every developer knows the challenge of estimating effort for development code. Very few like to do it. Why is estimating so unpopular, why is it even necessary, and what should you look for?

Why estimate effort?

The question of why it's necessary to estimate effort at all is easy to answer. Knowing how long a task is expected to take is essential for planning who in a team can do what and when. Even across team boundaries, a certain amount of time planning is essential; after all, teams have to be coordinated and resources have to be procured. In addition, other departments such as marketing also have an interest in being involved in planning at an early stage.

Some points to check compatibility with a sponsor:

8 Compatibility Attributes:

1. Relationship – Do you have an existing relationship or connection with the sponsor?
2. Objectives – Do you fit with the marketing objectives of the sponsor?
3. Audience – How closely do you share a common target audience?
4. Competition – Does their competition use sponsorship in your area as a marketing tool?
5. Attributes – How closely do the attributes of what you have to offer match or compliment that of the sponsor? E.g sophisticated, smart, loud, family orientated, original.
6. Geography – Does the sponsor operate in the same geography as you and have marketing objectives targeting the same level? E.g. National, state, region, city, district, suburb.
7. Comfort – How comfortable are they using sponsorship as a marketing tool? Do they have a strong sponsorship history?

Types

laughinghan

• any: magic, ill-behaved type that acts like a combination of never (the proper [bottom type]) and unknown (the proper [top type])
  • Anything except never is assignable to any, and any is assignable to anything at all.
  • Identities: any & AnyTypeExpression = any, any | AnyTypeExpression = any
  • Key TypeScript feature that allows for [gradual typing].
• unknown: proper, well-behaved [top type]
  • Anything at all is assignable to unknown. unknown is only assignable to itself (unknown) and any.
  • Identities: unknown & AnyTypeExpression = AnyTypeExpression, unknown | AnyTypeExpression = unknown

• Prefer over any whenever possible. Anywhere in well-typed code you're tempted to use any, you probably want unknown.
