1. @|p^): @BarnabyWalters so we should only hang out on thursdays it seems?

    @w03_ I have come to realise that everything happens on Thursdays. But actually, I hadn’t even considered that each item corresponded to a day of the week — I just can’t get enough

  2. Just implemented notifications in ! I get a native, first-class notification when I’m mentioned. Really easy to do with the notification API: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification

    Update: demo video!

    1. Navigating to my homepage and granting notification permissions
    2. Native notification from iTunes for comparison
    3. Notification of a new comment from KartikPrabhu (thanks for helping demo!)
    4. The notification is a proper, first-class notification in notification centre

    Not shown: clicking on the notification navigates to the source of the mention.

  3. Only we know how we actually think and what we actually believe. Everyone else has to infer it from how we express ourselves. If we find ourself contradicting other people’s interpretations of our expressions it is likely they were ineffective.

  4. Got lightblue+bluez set up on the raspberry pi, successfully paired and connected with Macbook. Not so much success communicating, sockets only worked one way, and the OS X doesn’t seem to be able to connect to services advertised on the pi despite being able to see that they exist. Also got started with USB programming in python with pyusb — is complex, but less so than I expected.

  5. Apparently we, as an industry, are over the whole ninja/rockstar thing and have moved onto “mountaineer” weworkremotely.com/jobs/472

    “Why yes, my company are interested in hiring PHP-based sailors and javascript treeclimbers. Bring your ropes to the interview, you’re going to need them.”

  6. Spent the afternoon updating lightblue to build on Mac OS 10.9, successfully managed to discover+communicate with a bunch of devices around the office! Next up: serving HTTP over Bluetooth.
