mygrant··on About Homespring.cloud
Homespring.cloud is a visual debugger and learning tool for the Homespring esoteric programming language.
mygrant··on Where did all the starships go?
Maybe 50% of my audiobook listening is the Expeditionary Force series by Craig Alanson. So dumb, so much fun, and all spaceships.
mygrant··on The problem with farmed seafood
A friend of mine has been working on a company[1] that does exactly this: they sit on the waste stream of large agricultural processing plants and use black soldier flies to convert that waste into protein for aquaculture (and fertilizer).

mygrant··on Emit-C: A time travelling programming language
Woosh
mygrant··on A day and night running round a track
Reminds me of Beau Miles' "24 marathon" which was much more fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvT5XS7j-Dc&t=6s
mygrant··on Database “sharding” came from Ultima Online? (2009)
Caterina had nothing to do with Glitch or Slack. Stewart obviously did, but so did a lot of other GNE and Flickr founders and employees.

(I don't use Apple Music or a HomePod, so no idea if this is new)

mygrant··on $11B Later, High-Speed Rail Is Inching Along
Inching along after fighting Palo Alto resident after Palo Alto resident is OK with me. It's a big project.
mygrant··on Show HN: Balanced Payments Client for Go
Unsure why there is neither a link to what Balanced Payments is (I had to look it up: https://www.balancedpayments.com/) not a description of what it could be used for/examples.

I'm normally very excited about this kind of stuff, but coming in without context and being greeted with a barebones README almost made me just close it.

mygrant··on Heartbleed is about to get worse, and it will slow the Internet to a crawl
We had certs that were only used and present on machines that were not vulnerable, and therefore did not replace or revoke them. Please don't do this.
mygrant··on We Don't Sell Saddles Here
There are plenty of screenshots all over the tour: https://slack.com/is
