I'm very disappointed in the Green Party's handling of the situation. They've been incredibly vocal on pretty much every other major issue recently, but on this, mostly silence, except for a couple of vague social media posts. I thought the they supported trans people, but now I'm not so sure.

Happy pride month everyone!

My Gleam Gathering talk has been uploaded! Please be kind 😄

Just saw this, the EEF is launching a BEAM ecosystem organisation registry. If your organisation uses the BEAM, please consider registering! marketing.erlef.org/news/registr...

I narrowly managed to avoid getting sucked into an Eve Online rabbit hole (or perhaps black hole) after watching this talk. Consume with care!

More Gleam talks!

my last name has wound up on some campaign database without my first name, so i keep hitting unsubscribe pages that ask "Not white? Please don't use this form"

This is the letter I am preparing to send to my MP. Please consider writing your own, and feel free to pilfer bits of mine. Feedback welcome.

Gleam v1.17.0-rc1 is out now for testing github.com/gleam-lang/g... 🔥

If you can go to this, you really should

great stuff google thank you so much!!!!

Or in my case, "programmer finds Gleam, programmer writes Gleam [compiler]" Definitely worth a watch!

Like trains? Like Gleam? This is the video for you. youtu.be/gq2-eR10vn8

I want to help people adopt Gleam. I see so much interest for it, but many just need a small opportunity. If you wish you could learn/write Gleam, let's talk!

You can now experience Gleam Gathering all over again! Or watch it for the first time if you weren't able to attend

Congrats to Zoë!

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough. One of the most important natural history broadcasters, environmental educators and climate voices of our time. 💚

Did you know we have a store? shop.gleam.run You can support the development of Gleam while getting something cute for yourself ⭐

If anyone saw my talk at @ffconf.org and is interested about Gleam, go find @hayleigh.dev on Thursday! She's a member of the core team and maintains lustre, the main Gleam library for frontend web dev.

I always learned it as "John whereas Peter had had had had had had had had had had had had had the inspector's approval" (2 more "had" s!)

Slightly diminish a book The Hitchhiker's Guide to Earth and some other stars and planets

visiting a bunch of software company home pages as research for a thing, and... I have no idea what these companies do. we've hit a new level of buzzword soup that I can't parse anymore. "build at the speed of thought" — build WHAT? "AI-powered" to do WHAT? "agentic workflows" WHAT IS YOUR APP?

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words, which feels a bit passive-aggressive.

You should take this as a sign to start contributing to Wikipedia 📝

Dumb thing I just found out you can do on the bsky mobile app: - go to someone's profile - scroll down to one of their posts, then click on their profile picture on the left of the post - repeat ad nauseum You are now n levels deep, and need to go back the same number of times to escape their page.

Also the 52nd anniversary of the Carnation Revolution!

Gleam v1.16.0 is out now!!! ✨ gleam.run/news/javascr...

would love to see a bunch of gleamlin submissions to this 🥺 it’d be super cool to start graduating from « here’s an introduction to {thing} » style talks, to more like « here’s advanced technique when using {thing} »

Marlene cooked with this one.

Very good and thought-provoking video about how language is used disingenuously to appeal to a certain audience.

Imagine being a coder but thinking there's no artistry to writing code. What an empty existence

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for

I can confirm. I learned Gleam for last year Advent of Code on the morning of December 1st.

Yes! Count me in!

Just checked and this is real - Scottish Labour’s manifesto refers to trans people using slurs and commits to a policy of explicit segregation in public life

Soooo much better now

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

we don't talk enough about how cool the color-interpolation-method is in CSS gradients all of these slices have the same gradient: linear-gradient(#00ffff 0%, #ff00ff 100%) each one is just using a different colour interpolation

I have many fond memories of playing in the bluebell woods as a child. Miss Brighton a lot!

This is what neutral reporting is all about

Happy trans day of visibility everyone!

how diffie hellman key exchange works (with as little math as possible)

"sign their very first check" Bro. You could have used an example more salient to the modern world, like "sign away their rights to sue their employer by agreeing to an arbitration clause for all clauses."

Repeating what other people are saying is Wikipedia's job, and even Wikipedia agrees that it's a genocide

The problem with Github sponsors using USD as its de facto currency is that my income is tied to the value of the dollar, which I'm not thrilled about given the nature of the current madman running the country.

I thought I was going to die of laughter when Ben was presenting his case. This show is a beautiful mixture between real social commentary and utter ridiculousness. 10/10
