Hello there.

I am a huge fan of the kurgesagt YouTube channel. I was recently watching their video What Are You Doing With Your Life? The Tail End. It made me evaluate how I spend my days and with whom, and I tried to find some regular meetings/encourage existing ones with friends and family.

I can only encourage you to do that with your time. Life can be short.

On that note, I have been on and off developing a project for this exact case for the last 4 months: Your life ends, and you want to inform (online) people about it.

Im not ready to share this project with you, yet. But I'd like to ask you a question:

Why, the fuck, does mongodb not populate lowercase struct keys. Who came up with that design and how many people thought "yeah, thats a good idea, let's do this". I spend at least an hour some weeks into the project wondering why my code wouldn't work but the online example which looked exactly the same logical speaking does. AN HOUR. Couldn't they have introduced an extra type or a keyword or something? A beginner with the language will never think about capitalization being the issue of their code god damn it.

Since November 14th until the 25th I wasn't able to receive emails on my domain because I decided to switch email programs, and the new ones just did not work. I want to say a huge thank you to Rico who followed through with hours of debugging with me and trying to figure out the issue behind the various problems. It was a lot of "fun" and he showed me such amazing things like reverse search through previously typed commands (ctrl + r). Game changer!

Hello there, good winter times to you.

I am looking for someone to help me with a project I have made over the last months. It is based around a web site, which is what I need help with.

You would need to design the web site, based on the existing html files (They are hosted so you can experience the expected flow between them, or I can draw up a diagram to show it). I would love it you wouldn't use JS, but I'm fine if it ends up with some.

The scope of this is a one time job. You would come up with a design, menu structure, and I would be able to add subsites based on that. I have no issues editing frontend, I just despite coming up with it from scratch.

The project will be open source once the design is finished and I had time to run extensive tests on it, so whatever you come up with will be open source as well.

If you are willing to do this or know someone who might, please contact me (https://t.me/poolitzer) to discuss the payment and whatever open questions there are.

Did I spend the last 2 1/2 hours productively? Yes, yes I did.

~2 1/2 years ago I wrote a small script which changes your telegram biography based on the currently playing song in spotify. This has gotten more traction then I expected for such a small thing, most of them users unable to follow the setup steps. So I took a bit of time this weekend to rewrite it interactively, which included spawning a temporary webserver. Hopefully I don't get comments about the project not working now when it is :)

I wonder if this will change to yesterday in 1.66 hours, or if I get a very late night delivery :D

They did change to yesterday + a nice late night warning, props to the backend. It didn't arrive (yet), but still. Good job there

Hey guys, there is a game launching RIGHT NOW which is very dear to my heart - This Means Warp. I am a QA tester for it since 18th of July and did the German translation for the demo, as well as creating the leaderboard on speedrun.com.

What I want to say: This game is amazing. If you have 20 USD/16€ you can spare, please consider buying it. If the steam page/trailers/this message really convinces you and you would love to play it but you do not have the money, PM me and I will send it to you (for like, a maximum of 10 people or so. Still a student over here, not like I'm swimming in money). The developers are really nice and they came up with a great concept, give it a try. And leave a positive review if you like it, it helps them a lot.

New high-score amount of foreign packages in our flat: 7 🎉

Remember this game? Did you check it out and thought "Oh well I really want to buy this but its 20% too much money"? Well, have I news for you: It is 20% off right now being part of the Going rogue festival and Update 1 has been released with more Scenario gameplay modes, better AI progression in the game and a bit of new content in every part of the game.

Oh and if you open the steam page during the festival, you have a good chance of seeing me and a fellow gamer doing a session. Otherwise I have uploaded them to my YouTube channel if you are just here for me and not games I am advertising 😍

Hi.

If you have two moments, read this post, it is about a study someone would like to do and you can participate in it

https://telegra.ph/The-Study-06-28

They want to have at least 50 members to start their study, and this channel has 150+, so if like every third of you all can join their channel that would be kinda awesome :)

Happy new year everyone.

The python-telegram-bot framework I help maintain has, after two years of intense developing, finally released the mayor v20 upgrade, switching the code base to asyncio and making a lot of great breaking changes along the way. Developing a bot with it is now more fun than ever.

Feel free to use it, its cool :D

Release post

I am particularly proud that we got three new people into developing the library. Me and Bibo-Joshi started working on it 2019, Harshil joined a bit later, and for the last half year clot and Dmitry have also joined the team and done really good contributions. Really happy you guys are there!

Today, I got famous.

Also, while I have your attention, I streamed a bit of Hi-Fi RUSH yesterday, where this fight stood out enough to me that I made a short highlight video about it. Give it a watch if me struggling with a game is your cup of tea. https://youtu.be/TDtNYKXYmws

Baked birthday muffins for and with my flatmate today.
