Feel free to tell what you plan on doing this weekend and even ask for help or feedback.
Please keep in mind it’s more than OK to do nothing at all too!

Hacking out an experimental alterative to rake called ‘hotcake’. Define tasks and their interdependencies, map input files to output files with succinct idempotency based on the file mtimes. It is not a full-featured ETL pipeline or workflow engine, it’s specialized for common file-oriented chores that grow beyond a simple imperative script or would benefit from being able to do slow tasks like network transfers in parallel.
I can’t remember rake’s syntax-heavy approach, it has limited debugging/visibility into rule tasks (they’re not listed in
-AT), it’s hard to test tasks, and I want better argument handling on the CLI. It feels mildly inappropriate to criticize a ubiquitous tool from a famous Rubyist, but it has only been lightly maintained since his passing. I’m not trying to contribute to rake because I can’t even count the number of breaking changes or imagine a smooth migration path.I also wanted an small project to play with Literal and quickdraw. I’ve already made a small docs PR to Literal.
Going clay pigeon shooting for a friend’s stag do, then presumably spending the afternoon in the pub. Think the last time I went clay shooting was a different friend’s stag do in the before times. If I hit something, I’ll be happy.
I’ve to Google to understand what is clay pigeon shooting. Still didn’t get what it means stag do. It seems a place where do such activities especially in UK. Is that correct?
Was so proud of myself for putting this together recently on a trip to Scotland! Saw phrases like “having a do” around town on posters, and eventually had an aha moment like “oooooh as in doing, like an event.” Already knew the phrase “going stag” which is when a man goes to a primarily couples event solo. When the phrase “stag do” came up, I immediately got it and was so proud of myself :) For context, am from the US

Ah! Learned something new today. Thank you!
I’m trying to sell HTMX to a few co-workers, so I’m writing a fake corpo intranet app (generate team spirit by rewarding each other flair!), hope I’ll get to the mind-numbing Spring Boot basics soon enough to focus on the interesting bits.
It’s sunny here in London, and you can feel spring in the air if you look hard enough, so hopefully will be outside with the kids as much as possible! Apart from that, hopefully finding an hour or two for hacking together a prototype of a route-plotting web app for ramblers that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately
Will create a course on ReactJS in Indonesian language.
Contemplating a migration from digital ocean to scaleway.
Building Tangled with @op—a social git collaboration platform built on atproto, that’s designed to be decentralised since day one!
Also, quit my job (today was my last day) to work on startups (exploring various ideas) for the next three months. Excited to see where I end up.
What are your other startups?
I’ve been working on a phone app that will be used as part of a study on improving sentence construction for ESL medical students. I have been given a series of scenarios which they are briefly exposed to, then they must approximate the same or a similar sentence through voice transcription. I’m going to try and improve the scoring algorithm this weekend, as I noticed the native speech recognition APIs for phones tend to “revise” input in surprising ways, i.e. producing a number, but sometimes producing the word form of that number, and so on.
Reading books, blogs, and other material pertaining to writing for a developer audience. Suggestions welcome!
Deciding whether to delete my account before 16th March.
Why? Is your subscription expiring and you don’t want to renew? 🙂
For those who have been living under a rock:
On March 16, the UK’s Online ‘Safety’ Act comes into force. This is a staggering piece of regulatory capture which makes it infeasible for small forum operators to survive in the UK and drives people big US-owned platforms. lobste.rs will be using GeoIP blocking for UK users to avoid needing to comply, at which point those of us in the UK will lose access.
The question is whether to delete accounts to make them visibly inactive before then.

The UK is going to get cut off so I won’t get the chance after 16th March.
Understood but it wasn’t clear why deleting the account would not be possible after that date.
Because there will be no access from the UK and I don’t want to start mucking about with proxy servers.
