I help researchers do work "in the cloud" at a Big Ten University in the US.
I program as a hobby. Play video games.
Read books. Woodworking. Lots of pets.
...what else?
Like most of my projects, I got distracted and never finished.
I did create a very basic front-end for BlueSky where I was viewing my feed.
I think I quite when I figured out I'd have to keep track of likes on posts myself. lol

Today I learned about collections.Counter from a BlueSky thread.

This kinda blows me away. How did I not know about this until now?

Playing Civ 6 on switch 1. Been contemplating upgrading to a switch 2 or, more likely, a steam deck. Performance on switch 1bis mediocre.
But also been playing Valheim on PC. 🤷

I'm a manager now so I do very minimal tech work at work. But my personal project is to create a custom BlueSky feed... Which is how I came across this post! 😁

I do this in emails a lot. If others are like me and my default mode is to skim, this helps to highlight the points I want them to notice.

I almost feel like it's necessary to hear what the other side is saying. If we ignore them for so long, then... Well, our current situation happens.

Any word from past/current (whatever state they may be in right now) employees from USDS? I haven't seen anything.. Very little, about this.

Nice!
It's not Lego, but I've been considering getting one of those 'book nook' kits. They are small, tedious to put together, but cute as hell.

Thank you so much! It worked.
I can't wait to get started! 😀

Somewhere, some time ago, I heard that DuckDuckGo backended by Bing. Ya know if that is true? (I mean, I _could_ try to look that up myself..)
