A media podcast I listened to today said that “the web is old-fashioned”, as part of their analysis of the OpenAI and Google news this week. As if the web will turn into The Well, or something. But I am seeing the fediverse, standards-based web builders like Eleventy, and open newsletter platforms like Ghost and Buttondown (that both support the web), and I just don’t agree that the web is old-fashioned. Quite the opposite, it’s only just getting started (again)!

@claudius Yes and I’ve had similar conversations with youngsters. But for your students, when they use their laptops and open a browser, are they aware that is the web? Do they see the browser as an app? (because of course it is) #JustCurious

#RandomThoughts
I'm wondering… I know a lot of people on Fedi who run their own instances rent servers. Is that usually single servers or do any/all of the providers use multiple distributed servers?
#JustCurious #AskFedi

I was wondering partly because I was imagining it would be pretty cool if someone built an app on existing peer-to-peer tech that let users donate specific amounts of bandwidth they choose to specific instances. Sort of a way of donating for people with no spare cash.

    deborahh,

    @johannarothman @rayckeith so, the feedback you want is on the writing, more than the story? (Or are you testing ideas in the stories, too?) (Or are the two inseparable?)

    cyanotype, to origami

    Sometimes you make things for sheer curiosity.

    I've been trying tessellated origami forms for a while. This one is appealing as it is easy to fold and fun to play with.

    I folded it from a sheet of watercolour paper coated with cyanotype.

    It went outside for a day or so.

    When developed, it looked like the final picture.

    So now I know. Curiosity sated. Until next time.

    A sheet of grey paper folded into an origami tessellation which is linked squares. it is resting on a window box with plants, and is the same sheet from the first picture
    A sheet of white paper which has been coloured mostly blue. it has been creased into many small squares, some with diagonal creases. there is much variety within the squares as to the amount of blue or white they contain.

    joesbrat67, to mastodon

    I’m seeing a LOT of posts about another major wave of new #Mastodon accounts, but I have to wonder. Is anyone tracking any influx to #Calckey? And should we prepare for more migrations from #Masto to here?

    joblib 1.3.0 is out in the wild!

    joblib is a library that provides an generic way to call into thread-based, process-based and distributed parallelism (via external backends) + a way to cache expensive computation in repeated function calls on disk.

    https://joblib.readthedocs.io

    This new release provides several major new features, inclusing a return_as="generator" argument to the Parallelclass to make it possible to aggregate parallel results when ready (preserving the submission order).

    1/4

    rupdecat,

    @ogrisel

    Awesome! Never heard of joblib before, but just read its docs, and it looks extremely enticing to try.

    May I ask: Why did you opt for cloudpickle as the serialization protocoll and not dill? see https://pypi.org/project/dill/

    I never used google reader and don’t understand the affinity.

    What did it do that was better than a plain ol’ RSS reader. #JustCurious

    ladymunch, to music

    any musical people have things you like to eat or drink while you play? For me It's jelly sweets like Haribo or wine gums. A good cup of tea always helps too. #JustCurious #Music #Keyboard #Piano #Food #Sweets
