I've made 10,000 posts on Mastodon since I joined just under two years ago.

Thanks and thoughts:

- I'm grateful to @admin for running this instance. I made a small contribution to the running costs, and you should do the same.

- Thank you to all who follow and interact with me.

- Thank you to the people I follow for providing so much thought provoking, entertaining, informative, and beautiful content.

- I wish more of the academics and journalists I followed on Xitter had migrated to Mastodon.

- There are times when I feel I am just talking to myself here.

- There are many topics on which I have opinions but which I do not discuss here, either because I am not sufficiently well informed to make a constructive contribution to a discussion, or because for some topics I do not think Mastodon is an appropriate forum for their discussion.

- Partly on account of its current rotten government and the appalling way in which it is currently waging war, Israel is an unpopular country on Mastodon, or at least in the parts of Mastodon that I see. Nevertheless and regardless of how many people here take offence, I will continue to defend the right of Israel to exist. A two state solution, Israel and Palestine recognized as two states living alongside each other, is not utopian and is the only way to ensure peace and dignity for all.

- I use hashtags and so should you!

Planned to add file name descriptions and #tags to my recent photos while taking a train ride.

Unfortunately, tab-completion of my Python-based #tagging tool doesn't work at the moment and I have no idea why. This makes my tagging session an unpleasant one.

So I created a bug report for it: github.com/novoid/filetags/iss

The only thing that worries me is that it's my own tool, that has this bug and I don't know how to fix it. 😔 🤦‍♂️

Could be related to #readline, terminal emulator, pyreadline version, ... 🤷

Latest attempt at building better documentation for thi.ng/umbrella (also to make it available offline!): Having noticed that recent versions of TypeDoc support extracting & merging of doc strings from monorepos, over the past few weeks I've been updating/cleaning docstrings in hundreds of source files across all 200+ packages and started building a small tool to assemble a single/mega-page documentation (currently ~4.3MB of just HTML). The tool translates existing docstrings and references contained therein (and still used for the existing API docs) to support proper cross-package references.

I've uploaded an early preview here:
docs.thi.ng/umbrella/

Please be aware that so far this is only an early stage prototype and only contains very limited docs. I.e. there are no generics/typeparams, no details about classes/interfaces... But at least I know now HOW to add this all, as well as all the additional metadata I've already got (currently still only available via other custom tools/examples).

For example, there're links to the tag-based browser[1] and I'm also planning to add the fuzzy doc search engine/index[2] to this new documentation... The tag browser integration still needs more work in terms of correctly matching package names to tags. The underlying system is there already, just needs more work in terms of actually doing/assigning the concept mapping. Since most package names in thi.ng/umbrella are very plain/boring (for a reason), for many (most?) packages this already works pretty well:

Example: Visiting the WebGL package docs: docs.thi.ng/umbrella/#webgl and then clicking on "examples" for this package, then opens the tag browser for WebGL: demo.thi.ng/umbrella/thing-bro where you can then see all other packages and examples related to this topic...

More updates on this all soon! Excited! 🤩
