I'm in awe of how you cropped this video to look like a thread post in the app ui at the start. It's mesmerizing lol.

I'm really in awe of the simplicity of putting together a video feed and how it builds on the existing feed system. Took me about an hour to create a F1 video feed using the same code for the existing feed. One of the many reasons just messing around in Bluesky is so rewarding.

I feel like I did the Day 11 #AdventOfCode wrong somehow... I used recursion wrapped in a function cache, but surely there is a better intended solution. Only took 0.4 seconds to complete though, so I'll take that. #GoLang

Having a normal one writing a phony disk defragger and hex code viewer for when it doesn't work for "fun" (it was quite fun lol). #AdventOfCode Day 9 #GoLang

I find #golang struct/methods less stressful then full-on classes. Class syntax can encourages you to think ahead when you aren't ready. In Go, you to write the struct, use it, and then write the function when you need it. Which is funny because no reason you can't do that with classes.

Here is the #adventofcode ruleset for my own feed generator, if anyone is curious.

Also might be easy to miss but there is a Translate button but it is hidden in the context menu (triple dot).

Well that looks wildly better. Please let me know if you see posts missing from the F1 feed, but I am going to let this update run for a bit.

I found the place in the code that was getting tripped up by a bad "psot" and have fixed it. It is legitimately going through old posts now and should catch up soon.
The feed is usually pretty error resilient but this one tripped up the Javascript JSON parser which is a bit wild.

Oh it was not a test, I just thought I would send the note about my outage to your feed since I people are in both. I avoid complicated regexs but just having more of them in mine lol

I am leaving The Washington Post after nine years. It's hard go put into words what an incredible journey it's been. So thankful for opportunities I had there, the things I learned, and most importantly the thoughtful and caring people I met.

I am getting ones (only profile updates) where the decoded CAR blocks has no entries, such that `car.blocks.get(cid)` is undefined. And this is using the official JS repo functions

It looks like a gradual rollout unless I am missing something obvious. EDIT: it just came in while messing with the screenshots lol.

The F1 feed though is more of the former category but it has a long list of things that it is looking for. Here is a sample.

Not perfect at filtering out bots and duplicates but I made this that shows trends if you want to give it a try https://trends.skyblue.social/
