@jkphl nice work! Looks like you’ve done a really good job of solidifying a bunch of common content-consumption patterns (e.g. firstof
). RE externalAuthor
, have you seen the indiewebcamp.com/authorship algorithm?

Finally found official name enwp.org/False_dilemma for when people see N options when in fact there are at least N+1, of which the unconsidered options may be superior and considering only N options creates boxed-in thinking.
Examples: ATOM vs RSS (unconsidered: HTML), Tíu Dropar multiple tipjars, where competing tipjars blot out the option of not tipping.
Udacity’s Design of Everyday Things course is finally available! udacity.com/course/design101 Perfect filler for the long xmas journeys ahead. It’s been too long since I last took part in a #MOOC

The other detail added to #taproot: #indieweb phoning via SIP and a “Call Me” button. On desktop devices you’ll see it on my homepage in the Elsewhere section. Clicking it on a WebRTC-enabled browser will start an audio call with me if I’m logged into a SIP client.
Next: using a Tropo app as a middleman for providing voicemail transcription and local numbers, improving/providing mobile UI.
After deliberating a little about how to “do” a composite homepage feed, whether or not I should forget about having “notes”, “music” and “articles” and just merge them all, coupled with the fact that I already use notes for replies, I have reached a simple conclusion, of which this post is the first demonstration.
/notes/ and what used to be “Notes” is now my de-facto dump for short-medium length chronological posts of all types. This covers notes, replies, checkins, short articles (basically named notes with more structure) and so on. Posts with a name live at /notes/DDD-name, those without names live at /notes/DDDSSS.
/articles/ retains all content which lived there in the past. Going forward it might become more of a wiki, or a place for very long things like Data Export.
/music/ will retain all it’s content, and be where I post standard musical notation tunes. Audio recordings of those tunes will be posted as audio posts with a link to the relevant tune.
Hopefully these changes, along with improved templating (post-type-specific DOM templates here I come) will make finding, posting and reading posts on #taproot a much more pleasant experience.
Working through some example circuit simulations I finally gained an intuitive understanding of the voltage divider equation — it’s just a ratio, but I had never figured this out before.
Given this circuit, where the voltage source is rated at 1V:
The voltage at A is equal to 1V·(R2 / R1 + R2)
, which is 1·(1/1+1) = 1·(1/2) = 0.5
.
Why? Because R1 + R2
represents the total resistance of the path, and as such the total voltage drop. Dividing R2 by the total produces a fraction representing the voltage drop over R2. Multiplying the input voltage by this fraction leaves us with the voltage dropped over just the R2 portion of the circuit, which must be VA because there are no other branches in the circuit.
Put another way, the equation finds the ratio of resistance (and so voltage drop) R2:R1
and then feeds the input voltage through this. Here’s a more abstract visual representation of what’s going on:
My apologies to the @mozilla staff manning the FF Nightly bug reports today, for the stream of gradually less coherent “FF crashes when I drag leafletjs.com maps around whilst making HTTP requests” reports.
Checked in to C is for Cookie, Reykjavik — working on my #indieweb checkin/note location UI, check it out at waterpigs.co.uk/notes/new!
Received some spam telling me my website needs a responsive layout. I wonder if @beep gets these emails.
“Fail Fast” is the trendy alliterative buzzword version of “have small feedback loops”, just less accurate and more prone to undesirable misinterpretations.
@thatEmil that should work fine — one thing to bear in mind is that by default they both treat redirects differently. IIRC, cURL doesn’t follow redirects by default whereas file_get_contents
will.
I helped write a thing which crunches multiple millions of numbers, do I get to call myself a Big Data Scientist now?
SIP/WebRTC call-via-personal-site #tabdump:
When using the display: table
trick to move elements around, beware that Opera+FF require the fake-table element to also have table-layout: fixed

to work. As pointed out by Scott Anderson #css #responsive
Having a go at making Sumendi’s leche frita (fried milk). Just put the mix in the fridge, pretty sure the consistency is perfect, but I’ll find out for sure tomorrow!
Friday’s #wondermark strip perfectly expresses point-scoring as unproductive nonsense cc @brennannovak:
@sandeepshetty sure! gist.github.com/barnabywalters/7863676 — included the basic functions plus the convenience class I use and a little demo. Very specific to chronological post storage/indexing, and very much in flux. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about it.
