Really good article on complex systems:

A sad tale on how moving from smaller local schools to one large school outside of town has externalized costs to everyone in terms of commute time, increased pollution, and making impossible healthy options like walking or biking.

Nice thing I heard tonight: ask people what they _need_ for Christmas, not what they want. More helpful, less consumption.

@tootapp I noticed your keyboard doesn’t include return (so I can’t put line breaks in my toots) or suggest emojis (so if I type house, the autocomplete bar would show a house emoji) and I miss them more than I want the Hash key. Both are default iOS behavior I think?

Shout out to $1000 heater repairs. Home ownership: a journey with highs and lows.

There is a distinct lack of Hanukkah and Kwanza songs on this “Holiday Classics” stream. That’s a shame, I wouldn’t mind hearing some.

@tootapp you are amazing, with tons of little details that really impress. One thing: I’d like to be able to search by a raw keyword, not just hashtag or account name. Possible?

Yes, the @tootapp IOS client rotates images properly and is 50% off right now. For $2, it’s a steal!

Is there a flippin’ Mastodon client that will rotate a viewed image when the phone is rotated? So sick of viewing tiny landscape images. Mast and Tootdon are both broken here.

Getting the board ready for the mountain by adding all the stickers I got at Rubyconf 2018 🏂

Finally launched Faktory Pro, the commercial sibling of Faktory, my background job system for all programming languages.

If you want Sidekiq for Python, JS, PHP, Elixir, Rust or Go, this is your jam.
