@rosano Thanks :) Well, I played guitar but I haven't played for a while now. I'll probably pick it up at some point... It may take more than 10 years though, because I have many other things I want to do now xD

@VincentTunru Nice, I didn't know you also had a 4-day workweek :D.

And yes, I saved that toot when I saw it because I knew it'd come in handy :). I totally agree with it.

Today makes 10 years since I started my journey as a developer! Here's what it's been like and what I've learned. https://noeldemartin.com/blog/10-years-as-a-software-developer

@VincentTunru I see, that's a bummer yes :(.

But as I understand it, lists don't have to use blank nodes, do they? Only the shorthand turtle syntax does. Instead of using `_:b0`, I could just write `<#ingredient-123456>` in those examples and it should work right?

@h3artbl33d I self-host my personal website, my personal Mastodon instance, and my personal Solid POD (solidproject.org). All on a DigitalOcean droplet, using Docker.

@rosano Hey! Thanks for announcing it, and posting it in the Solid forum, that's where I saw it. It was fun :).

@Madmonkey Ok, stick to the official docs then xD 100% text. https://laravel.com/docs/8.x

@Madmonkey Probably the best resources out there are laracasts and the official documentation, which is great. I'd also suggest that you try to do a small project with it, learn by doing :).

Laravel turned 10 years old today!

I can honestly say that Laravel is the single piece of software that has inspired me the most in my programming career. I can't imagine my life as a developer without Laravel, thank you Taylor and the rest of the awesome Laravel community. Here's to another 10 years 🍻.

@dajbelshaw I also listened to the first one and enjoyed it! It was interesting to learn about all the types of cooperatives, I didn't know there were so many around :)

@vinnl Recently, I've been wondering how many people actually use RSS :/. It's so ingrained in my workflow that I take it for granted, but I'm not sure how many people actually use it. I've been pondering if it'd make sense to create an automated newsletter or something from my feeds for people who don't use it.

And hey! At least we got to see Casca back.

RIP Kentaro Miura.

Even though he left us too soon, the Golden Age arc will always be one my favorite in manga. We won't get the redemption, but in a way it's fitting.

@dajbelshaw The image could be optimized to weight almost nothing (specially because it's in B&W), and the font is something users will have to download anyways most of the time as soon as they click a link to another section. And it can also be optimized by removing characters you don't use.

But I know this is not what "keep the current one" means, because you're probably using different libraries/plugins. But I don't think design should be constrained to page weight, most of the time.

@dajbelshaw I actually voted for sticking with the one you've got, but here's the catch.

I think 1024 is just an arbitrary number, and I don't see the point on trying to stay under that particular one. I think you should strive to make the design that you like as efficient as possible. And looking at your current one, it doesn't seem like it'd take a lot of resources. You could do it with the image, the font, and very little CSS/JS.

@dajbelshaw I see, I didn't even notice, but it seems like these are water-resistant. I've been using them for years, including for sport, and I haven't had any issues.

The only thing I'm missing is knowing the battery %. They have good battery life, but when it's running out it says an annoying "battery low" message every 30 seconds xD. I tried some apps a while ago and they didn't quite work... Maybe it's time to try again :).

@dajbelshaw I actually prefer bluetooth earphones with wires! These are the ones I use, and they are great because you get all the benefits of bluetooth (no tangling of wires), and you can keep them hanging on your neck when you remove them. They are supposed to be for sport, but I use them all the time :) (except at home of course).
