Decided to try and summarize how the backgrounds of the largest contributors to Golang influenced it's design. Top 10 contributors by lines added are all white men, many worked at Bell Labs, worked on Plan 9, and have PhDs from MIT. I expected this, but was still a bit shocking.

Spent last two days finishing a chapter for my book, as well fixing auth on writing.natwelch.com. Next to fix the RSS feed!

@whtrbt it's been years, but I used to play it a lot with friends.

@thomasorus I love this, How are you entering data?

Built a norns shield last night! Lots of fun to play with so far.

@thomasorus been going through the same process. Such a weird feeling.

@neauoire As a citizen of NYC, I would love to see more online communities that I'm apart of express their stances on this topic.

@hxii https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor is what I use it.

#theWorkshop Actually sitting down to write...

Put together a rough housing for my clocks. Not incredibly pretty but makes organizing and displaying them easier.

@luxpris The Go documentation guidelines helped me a lot with this. If a function or type is called by anything in a different package (ie it's public) it needs a comment. Has really upped my ability to come back to my code.

@dualhammers @neauoire @rek @somnius @amatecha @freedcreative thanks folks for the discussion. I had no idea people had strong feelings about this. I am still not clear if textual mentions of cooking with animals and fish are alright.

@neauoire @dualhammers just for clarification, if I had removed the image, would it have been enough? The guidelines at https://merveilles.town/about/more#meat just say "pictures of dead animals".

As this isn't a belief I hold, I'm not sure what's appropriate or not. Trying to gauge by others posts in #theGalley I see some other uses of eggs and dairy, and a few pictures of ham (but not described in the way I did). Just would appreciate more guidance in the rules. Thanks!

@dualhammers oh interesting, I hadn't thought that applied to food. Fair enough, removed.

Built a very basic clock on a rpi zero w. Just using the example python code from pimironi for now, but started porting to Go. My eInk project got much less far, but is drawing text using Go at the very least. #theWorkshop
