Piero Bosio Social Web Site Personale

@irelephant @cwebber The cosocial page loaded so fast I actually couldn't successfully stopwatch it.

@irelephant @cwebber when i click the ⋯ next to this post, then click "open original page", and i start a stopwatch the moment i see the new tab open, i see:
- a picture of a bug and a sentence of text.
- the sentence of text is replaced with "did you know nachos aren't even mexican".
- a skeleton of the wafrn layout, and a throbber.
- eventually, the post.

Final time on stopwatch: 2.26 seconds.

I do the same thing on a cosocial post: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/115220440152189152

Result: Under 0.5 seconds.

@irelephant @cwebber but the pages load sooo slooooow

@cwebber I actually do like the PDS part of bluesky, and I like the DID part except for the fact that it's fake. PDSes that can talk to each other via activitypub sounds highly desirable to me.

@cypherhippie PLC is bullshit and honestly, I believe it is not possible to work around it. Or rather I have an entire design proposal for how to fix plc (replace it) and I know at least one other person with a design proposal for how to fix it (by replacing it), but I don't know how to solve the social part because the social part is "convince bluesky to give up power" and I can't think of a reason they'd do that.

@Andres4NY I guess that's only a moderately wild coincidence but this train is running real late and I am loopy

@Andres4NY okay incredibly fucking wild coincidence but literally the reason I'm asking this is I'm rewriting some 20 year old Perl implementing a set of voting systems in Rust

@bob looks valuable. Thanks.

A related question: to your knowledge, has anyone ever written deeply on the subject of how to implement Condorcet efficiently in a computer program?

Yeah. This. Section A.6. What the fuck is this. How the fuck do I implement this from a pile of votes in an sqlite database. What O() complexity is it relative to X voters ranking at most Y options from a list of Z candidates

https://www.debian.org/vote/2003/vote_0002

I promise the Rust I'm writing is cool. Does anyone want to have a conversation about ranked choice voting systems. I am hopelessly confused about the implementation-level differences between Condorcet, Borda, and Cloneproof Something Something Something that Debian uses to elect board members

At the start of this train ride I pulled out my laptop and started writing Rust and the lady next to me started knitting* a hat. Some hours later I wrote very little Rust because my laptop ran out of batteries and anyway the wifi on this train has been out the whole time, and the lady next to me has most of a cute-looking hat.

* Darning? I'm always confused about the terminology here

Nobody asked me but I think it would make a lot of sense if every website used invite codes forever because that way if 30,000 spammers all got invite codes from the same person you'd know that person's invite codes shouldn't be trusted

What I'm listening to today: "Erm...Yes, This Is Yamaha RS7000", Isobutane

This ungainly 1999 pro groovebox from Yamaha is fairly capable at making techno and hip hop. It… doesn't sound like this at all! Apparently using no external samples only tweaked presets this musician creates a drunken rush of chaotic glitch sounds, a simply wild wobbling bass line and this one sound like an angel got stuck in your crawlspace and is moaning in divine ecstasy until you let it out

@mayintoronto We need to pull in @cwebber as a tiebreaker

When I started dating Christine, we did a sort of a… movie battle? We showed each other our favorite hacker movies, to see if we could convince each other our fave was better. I showed her "Sneakers". She thought it was basically okay. She showed me "Hackers". I thought it was amazing. I think she won the exchange

@julian thanks.

So I'm on my phone and it's hard to look at this clearly— it seems this is a bridgyfed mirror of a bluesky account— is this correct?

@julian uuhhh well you may have just found a bug in Tusky

Anyway it looks like that's as much battery I'll be using on this train trip. Time to relax and dig into this book I brought, which I'm sure will cheer me up and distract me from the horrors of current events on my phone

Before the battery got to an uncomfortable level I was at least able to determine this "cesium_oauth" rust crate works a charm. So expect some real shenanigans from me as soon as international fascism gives me 72 hours straight to concentrate without being distracted by threats to me and my loved ones

*Getting on the train* oh, I always focus better on trains, time to plug my laptop in to the handy plug under this seat and get some dev done

*Sticks hand into backpack for the laptop charger*

*Fishes hand around for about ten seconds*

Uh… fuck
