Via Roland, Tom MacWright wonders if the future of programming is more common data types:

What if a simpler programming language had first-class representations of a lot more than strings and arrays?

But if the aim is ease of use and giving power to people who otherwise wouldnโ€™t be doing programming, type-rich systems with lots of assumptions seem like a logical first step. And one that doesnโ€™t need a visual editor or a new dialect of a rare programming language.

Helder is starting a public monologue channel on the Fission Discourse. Monologue channels are something we developed for Fissionโ€™s internal Discord chat spaces that seem to have worked out well for people, so Helder is trying it in public.

Itโ€™s been fun to evolve how we work as a distributed team.

Woo hoo! I am so stoked!

I now have this site auto-publishing using [[Github Actions for Jekyll]], with a [[Fission Publish]] Github Action at the end.

I used the nicely commented limjh16/jekyll-action-ts and then just added fission publish at the end.

Main thing I need to do to complete the rollout of these new journal logs -- other than pagination -- is to truncate long posts and strip HTML from them.

For short posts, I should not truncate, and actually render markdown.

Probably something like, if the content is bigger than 500 characters, strip_html and show 250 chars with a read more link. If less than 500, display the content.

For reference, this post is about 480 characters without HTML tags.
