1. Tantek Çelik: new home page * 100 posts via flat bim files * <64KB HTML * <1s page load no DB XHR ∞scroll needed beat that, silos :)

    @t excellent minimal Like implementation! Whilst your homepage performance is admirable, I don’t think you can meaningfully compare it to silo infinite scroll untill there’s some sort of pagination :) Currently, without rel-prev[ious] links, there’s no way for crawlers (e.g. readers like Shrewdness, semi-hypothetical “your year in indieweb”) tools to find your old posts other than fetching each one individually, which for many cases takes too long to provide a good experience — e.g. crawling your years worth of content takes ≈162s, verifiable with the following bash+PHP code:

    curl -Ss https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    
    ./composer.phar require taproot/subscriptions
    
    php -a  # Start an interactive shell, paste in following code (alternatively save into file):
    
    @(require 'vendor/autoload.php'); $start = microtime(1); echo "Starting crawl…\n"; Taproot\Subscriptions\crawl('http://tantek.com/2014/365/t1/indieweb-like-posts-2015-commitment-done', function ($r) { echo "."; if (substr($r['mf2']['items'][0]['properties']['published'][0], 0, 4) == '2013') { return false; } else { return true; } }); $total = microtime(1) - $start; echo "\nYear crawl for 2014 took {$total}s";
    
  2. Kyle Mahan: That is brilliant and also it reminded me that I was supposed add a grated carrot to the dinner I just made :D

    @kyle_wm mmm, grated carrot! The best thing about this rule is that it applies to almost any cake recipe. For “x cake”, 1/2 sugar, double x for deliciousness.

  3. Capybaringkindness: @BarnabyWalters Yeah, I've been testing this out - French duolingo is also ok with "his dress" etc.

    @crispindgwalker oh cool! Just worked through the “Family” skill and it included non-marital nouns like partnership/relationship, as well as depicting a gay couple in the photo accompanying “der Partner”. I’m impressed! A big improvement over the generic traditional het white family depicted in every school language textbook ever.

  4. Amy Guy: People posting pseudo-legalese 'facebook does not have permission to use my images' messages... The poor things, if only they knew.

    @rhario I’ve often wondered how those things start. Are they the products of typical Facebook-overearnestness, or someone just joking around?

  5. Mark Senff: @laurakalbag Also, no vagrant delete or vagrant remove... No, vagrant DESTROY!

    @senff @laurakalbag the Heroku toolbelt uses the same obscure terminology. Personal theory for “destroy” is to increase amount of effort required to do irreversible tasks by forcing you to specifically remember or look up the command.
