A new release of serde_ipld_dagcbor is out. Major change is being strict on decoding. crates.io/crates/serde...

crates.io serves as a central registry for sharing crates, which are packages or libraries written in Rust that you can use to enhance your projects

To everyone working on DAG-CBOR/DRISL implementations. There was a small update to that specs that shouldn't cause much problems, but is newsworthy: negative zero -0.0 is now forbidden. I recommend serializing it with the bytes from `0.0`. github.com/ipld/ipld/pu... github.com/darobin/dasl...

fix: reject -0.0 by vmx · Pull Request #65 · ipld/serde_ipld_dagcbor

For IEEE 754 floats -0.0 is equal to 0.0. It makes sense to have only a single representation for the same numbers, hence always encode it as 0.0, i.e. 0x0000000000000000.

I made an late night walk and suddenly memories from 18 years ago when I spent a year in Australia fleshed my mind. I wondered why, until I realized that it might be the humid 25°C at 10pm. #CutCopy #ThePresets #ThePotbelleez #Pendulum #TheGrates #BritishIndia

Bi-directional transformation with lenses in the wild. This is so cool! I've been excited about those since 2012, but never found the time to build more then a rough not useful prototype github.com/vmx/jslens

OK one of the greatest things IA've ever built. Bi-directional SVG source code editing. Drawing as programming with programmable drawings. *this* is how I want computers to collaborate with me. Ordinary SVG with a plurality of editable views. tomlarkworthy.github.io/lopebooks/no...

Slides from today's IETF ATP WG meeting about floats: datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/126/... Main point: you want to be able to store arbitrary JSON as ATProto record? Let's do it and add floats in a straightforward way which almost all programming languages support out of the box.

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

How to use a histogram as a legend in {ggplot2} | Andrew Heiss

Land isn’t unemployed—people are. Here’s how to use R, {ggplot2}, {sf}, and {patchwork} to create a histogram legend in a choropleth map to better see the distribution of values.

Your map’s legend can be turned into a histogram, helping your audience understand the distribution in addition to decoding the colours.

A new blog post is out. This time I try to provide some evidence that most programming languages already make a distinction between floats and integers when they work with JSON: vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog... Supporting GitHub repo: github.com/vmx/json-flo...

Den Leuten, die behaupten, der Sommer sei schon immer so gewesen, ist vollkommen egal, ob es der Wahrheit entspricht, weil die Wahrheit insgesamt in ihrer Welt keine Rolle spielt. Ihnen geht es ausschließlich um Identität, Zugehörigkeit und Dominanz über den politischen Feind.

Interesting approach by the @ec.europa.eu to just ignore their own scientific service (JRC), which only 8w ago explicitly recommended to support @eurosky.social in this paper: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC144603

We have now joined W, a new European social media network. We’re present on 15+ platforms, and are especially happy to join one based in Europe and with the ambition to foster open and safer online conversations. Keep the conversation going - whether from W, Bluesky or other compatible apps.

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Great post from @emily.space on why floats support on the ATProtocol level would be good thing for scientific data: discourse.atprotocol.community/t/floats-on-... If you want to see native floats support, please post your story there as well.
