While I'm personally enjoying having a less emoji-centric career now, it's very cool and gratifying to see Emojitracker take on a new life and data source. Hat tip to the team!

BigQuery dataset | Open Source Insights

This frustrates me too. No way to sort, and the 'dependents' data from the graph does not appear to be exposed via the GitHub API anywhere.

To get a full list of indirects, I suspect the Open Source Institute deps.dev public BigQuery database may be the best bet: docs.deps.dev/bigquery/v1/

My favorite part about Jujutsu (jj) using `k-z` "reverse hex" characters for change IDs (versus git using hex `0-9a-f`) is that for 8 character abbreviated IDs, the only valid English words that could appear are "postpunk" and "stopwork".

Upon request, made a quick CLI wrapper around my method to run #golang fuzz tests in the background on Apple Silicon efficiency cores only, so now you can `go install` it instead of making a shell alias: github.com/mroth/go-bgt...

Iโ€™ve long relied on CDC wastewater data to gauge COVID community spread and make informed decisions about what precautions to take. For the past year, Iโ€™ve used a custom iOS/macOS widget I wrote to help me keep tabs. If you would find it useful, I finally shared it on the App Store: apple.co/4glESi8

Favorite shell alias for #golang dev on Apple Silicon chips:

alias bgtest='GOMAXPROCS=`sysctl -n hw.perflevel1.logicalcpu` taskpolicy -b go test'

Runs tests on efficiency cores only, perfect for fuzz testing (`bgtest -fuzz FuzzFoo`) in background without affecting normal work.

Feel strange to mass import over 15 years of tweet history to bsky even with backdating via API, so likely will just start fresh, and perhaps manually import a few most recent posts...

Intriguing to see bsky starting to potentially gain mass adoption. Been enjoying my little corner of the fediverse the past few years since Twitter imploded, but it's a bit insular.
