Developer Journal, Indigenous Peoples Day
Today marks the International Day of the Worldâs Indigenous Peoples, which I admit is a terrible name, given that weâre all indigenous to the world. But with development occurring at a rapid pace and so many languages precariously close to going extinct, itâs worth taking a day to think about the real cultural diversity that most of us never see.
Anyway, letâs make some new culture with weird codeâŚ
Ham Newsletter
It occurred to me after sending out the most recent Entropy Arbitrage newsletter that the month names have been when I send the newsletters, rather than the month that the newsletter covers. I donât know why I didnât notice that before, but Ham Newsletter is now fixed, and I apologize to anybody who has been confused by the titles.
On September 4th, you will see the newsletter for August, as you should. The newsletter marked for September will go out on October 2nd, and so forth. Again, thatâs what it should have done all along.
Entropy Arbitrage
Apart from the newsletter, I also updated the Entropy Arbitrage codeâs verbiage for signing up to the mailing list and finally checked in the adjustments to the Twitter roundup post generation script to account for the new semantic plugins.
Unlike the pull quotes, I wonât be going back through every Friday post to correct the quote citations, at least not immediately. Thereâs so many of them, that the only reasonable way to do the work would be to coerce sed
to find the rogue headings and replace them with tags. But thatâs likely to be ugly and error-prone, so Iâm going to hold off until I have a day or two to mess around, especially since no post legitimately ever uses (or is likely to ever use) a sixth-level heading where the styling of them makes a difference.
Regardless, going forward, posts should never abuse headings again.
Fýlakas Onomåton
I needed to overhaul FĂ˝lakas OnomĂĄtonâs activation code, after stumbling over a couple of conflicts between the website and the app. Both interfaces should now be able to use the controller successfully.
Speaking of whichâŚ
DoritĂs OnomĂĄton
It currently requires a manual checkâclicking a button on the activation screen to refresh, rather than working silently in the backgroundâbut DoritĂs OnomĂĄton can now check the status of an activation code and retrieve/store the corresponding API key, like it should have weeks ago.
At least for the duration, Iâm calling the app and server feature-complete. I may mess around with the code organization, will need to fix any bugs that come up, and may try to figure out Flutterâs internationalization feature. But other than those issues, I donât expect DoritĂs OnomĂĄton to change much, beyond this point.
Next
This week, Iâm going to take care of the styling on FĂ˝lakas OnomĂĄton, so that it at least looks somewhat reasonable, toss it up on a cheap server, and start looking into submitting DoritĂs OnomĂĄton to the app stores.
Most of that has nothing to do with code, though. So, while Iâll mention progress in these posts, the final process will get its own Wednesday tech tip post. And for the rest of the week, I have some libraries to update, probably some old work that Iâve forgotten to check in, and maybe Iâll try to throw in another project.
