I will release the sourcecode for the desktop client tonight. I will put it on github (sorry to anyone who prefer other places), but the reason is that I do not want my own git to be open for public. So I’ll put it on github where I have all my other public projects. I have to write the readme, then add some info on the login page (link to source etc), then it’s ready to release with the current features. I then hope others will give it a try and use it if they want :) I also have many other features I need to implement, but all the main features that makes it usable has been implemented, so I’m very pleased with it (And I use it all the time now).

Turns out the problem I had was also there when I build rapidjson from source, but if I moved the include to earlier (rapidjson in my project) - the problem went away, so I suspect it’s the same as in this issue going on.

The cool thing is that the client now works fine on linux without changing anything else then the include order!
So now I’ll do all development there - instead of on windows.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no The reason I was thinking about a separate binary / project / service is to bring along our Twtxt friends like @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and anyone else that self-hosted their Twtxt feed on their own. But this of course has added complexities like spinning up yanrd along with whatever this thing will be called configuring the two and connecting them. Fortunately however yarnd already does this with the feeds service and defaults to using feeds.twtxt.net – So we would so something similar there too. Further thoughts? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net a separate binay would work too, maybe yarnd could just start it. if its a separate project - then it could possibly be useful for others as well? Im not sure, Im just thinking - the easier it is to set up and run - the better it is for everyone. Im sure it can be easy to set up and use either way.

I needed something to help with a morning schedule for two kiddos. It highlights the current 5-minute block as it goes. I think this was my first time reaching for JavaScript for a personal project. https://sidequest.club/stages.html

@prologic@twtxt.net I get the worry of privacy. But I think there is some value in the data being collected. Do I think that Russ is up there scheming new ways to discover what packages you use in internal projects for targeting ads?? Probably not.

Go has always been driven by usage data. Look at modules. There was need for having repeatable builds so various package tool chains were made and evolved into what we have today. Generics took time and seeing pain points where they would provide value. They weren’t done just so it could be checked off on a box of features. Some languages seem to do that to the extreme.

Whenever changes are made to the language there are extensive searches across public modules for where the change might cause issues or could be improved with the change. The fs embed and strings.Cut come to mind.

I think its good that the language maintainers are using what metrics they have to guide where to focus time and energy. Some of the other languages could use it. So time and effort isn’t wasted in maintaining something that has little impact.

The economics of the “spying” are to improve the product and ecosystem. Is it “spying” when a municipality uses water usage metrics in neighborhoods to forecast need of new water projects? Or is it to discover your shower habits for nefarious reasons?

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Several reasons:

• It’s another language to learn (SQL)
  
• It adds another dependency to your system
  
• It’s another failure mode (database blows up, scheme changes, indexs, etc)
  
• It increases security problems (now you have to worry about being SQL-safe)
  

And most of all, in my experience, it doesn’t actually solve any problems that a good key/value store can solve with good indexes and good data structures. I’m just no longer a fan, I used to use MySQL, SQLite, etc back in the day, these days, nope I wouldn’t even go anywhere near a database (for my own projects) if I can help it – It’s just another thing that can fail, another operational overhead.
