OK, made some progress on a forkable #atproto starter site hosted on @val.town! You can log in with OAuth and load some content from your account. Next up is lexicons! www.val.town/v/wilhelm/AT...
Also hugely helpful for wrapping my head around it was @typonomy.bsky.social's guide: whtwnd.com/typonomy.bsk...
Been ripping my hair out trying to get #atproto OAuth working in Deno. Found this neat project by @callmephilip.com with its own patch of @atproto/jwt-jose: github.com/callmephilip...
For vertical farming to work for cereals, energy would need to be insanely cheap. We underestimate how cheap a lot of outdoor farming is. That's good for feeding 9-10 billion people. But bad news for indoor competitors. I ran the numbers here: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/vertical-f...
Imagery is a powerful cornerstone of food marketing, as it plays a large role in what consumers ultimately choose to buy. But when it comes to the marketing of meat, dairy and eggs, the branding does not necessarily match reality. @jesslsr.bsky.social explains:
We have become so used to industrial bread that a "1 slice"-wide toaster won't fit any bread sold at... a bakery. It's a travesty!
This needs to be on food packaging. "For you to have this food, we effectively threw away 4-50 times as much food"
TIL: Lightweight multitenancy for server-side JS → github.com/pdubroy/til... I did some research into how various cloud providers are doing lighter weight isolation (i.e., not using containers) for server-side JS. Comments/corrections welcome!
Our book is about building a compiler for a toy, compile-to-Wasm language. At some point, we starting wondering…what's the smallest possible WebAssembly compiler? Could you make one that fits in tweet? 🤔 The answer is yes! wasmgroundup.com/blog/wasm-c...
Today I disassembled, cleaned and reassembled an espresso machine. I think I finally understand why people fix cars as a hobby.
I've spent my life piquing my curiosity and it has led to nothing useful. Now when something is merely interesting, I just groan. "Oh, that's interesting", you say? How unfortunate, I was hoping it was of any value whatsoever.
OK I'll say it. Keeping pets is weird. Animals are someones, not something, and I don't want to have that kind of control over someone. Totally cool with befriending local crows though.
Public APIs are cool. I'm mirroring my bluesky posts on @val.town: www.val.town/v/wilhelm/bsky
Maybe bluesky can be the place where I finally start to throw my scattered thoughts like those I followed on platforms of yore
How are aquariums and conservation related you ask? Well technically their whole deal is putting fish in big glass jars 🥁
