    Martus is an interesting case study in the sustainability of human rights software tools:

    https://benetech.org/martus-sunsets-human-rights-data-collection/

    also:

    https://martus.org/#News

    It sounds like security vulnerabilities in SSL, changing Java APIs, & the sheer weight of maintaining 370,458 lines of Java were a significant factor. The shifting landscapes of funding & new approaches also seemed to play a part.

    It’s good to see open discussion of the issues.

    I called my `nix-build --no-out-link` alias `nix-b`, but then I noticed that my typing pattern is always nix-bu<tab>.

    So now the alias is `nix-bu`.

    Like 99% of the time I don't want that `result` symlink to litter my directories.

    On Ubuntu I felt that command-not-found was always too slow and always telling me things I already knew. On NixOS I love it. It's instant[0] and I really don't know where some things are[1] -- finding things in NixOS is a bit harder as there's no good equivalent of apt-file.

    [0] Is this just some kind of bias because I find it useful? I don't think so. On a pretty beefy laptop I would wait a second or more for a command to return, but on this decade-old 4G RAM machine I'm getting "[hey maybe you should nix-env -iA nixos.bazaar?]" immediately. Maybe I have less things in my PATH? Maybe the NixOS c-n-f db is smaller? No idea.

    [1] I've used nixpkgs for a year and I've been on NixOS for two weeks. I was on Ubuntu since 2004 and on Debian since 1998. Also, I admit that nixpkgs package naming is not optimal when it comes to consistency.

    Ok, time sheets done. I worked like twice the amount I would have guessed this month, yay!

    (I'm nowhere near being overworked, don't worry)

    @charlag Specifically for invoicing chat logs are also good. So now Wednesday this week. I have no idea how long I was at, but now I can see that we were discussing project stuff for three hours, so those are definitely work hours and then I know I was reading up a few hours before then.

    Actuallly Wednesday specifically, I don't have any commit logs. That's when I was getting into the green-field code and I was mostly staring at PDFs and web pages all day.

    Having a git commit log seriously saves me from undercharging my client. I have a very real fear of overcharging, because so much of my work time is fluid, and after a day's work I may feel that I was just on the Fediverse the whole time.

    Now the end of the month is approaching, and I'm really behind on my time sheets, so I'm reconstructing history.

    "Hmm, Wednesday ... I didn't really do much then, did I?"

    * looks through commit logs of three repos *

    "Oh, apparently I was working basically 10 hours straight. Right, there was that thing with the thing, had forgotten about that."

    Oh good, nothing seemingly urgent happening in world or Fediverse politics. Then I can get right down to work.

    It's been a loong detour with some details needing fixing in my old code, which has been a welcome distraction, but now it's time to get back to the new and scary greenfield code.

    @pettter @valerauko Right, talking the science to death is not good scifi. And I don't mean that TE is better Sci Fi because it is more realistic. Well, I do mean that, but what I really mean is that it is consistent in its applications of physics, whereas FF has no rules and is just really good technological space fantasy. They're just people who want to go places and the places happen to be innumerable planets in an exotic star system.

    Where FF doesn't explore anything about the rules of physics and their implications, TE acknowledges that it has to invent a magic space drive to make a Martian superpower possible in a short time.

    @ayy @qikipedia Yes, of course, ma'am = madam = madame = ma dame, my lady.

    But "Mona" being a title rather than simply a name was 100% news to me.

    The ‘Mona’ in Mona Lisa comes from ‘ma donna’ - an Italian polite form of address meaning ‘madam’. Though this contraction is traditionally spelt ‘Mona’, it is often now called 'Monna Lisa' in Italian because ‘Mona’ has vulgar connotations in certain dialects. https://t.co/zg8qb5Ywwa

    @pettter @valerauko Firefly is definitely more fun and has cooler/awesomer characters. It's more adventure and wish fulfillment and being awesome in space. The Expanse is slower, more drama and more "going to the bathroom in zero-g is complicated".

    @pettter @valerauko I'm not saying The Expanse is better TV. I'm on the fence there. It's better Sci-Fi, even including the alien magic. Firefly has characters and plot deciding what's possible, and doesn't go into how the universe might work. The Expanse has everything plausible and realistic, and then draws a sharp line "ok, but here's the magic drive", "ok, but here's the alien space magic".

    The politics of The Expanse makes very much sense and is explored, whereas the politics of Firefly is "well there was a war and one side lost and we think the winners are evil", and some vague corporate state vibes.
