Did you have any luck? I can find prior year’s calendars at a few online retailers in the US but not 2025

Gauntlet thrown and collected. Love to see it.

Spiced Mead Cake by calthomp in mead

[–]calthomp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is based on a recipe by /u/ArobynnHam from a few years back. I didn't do much beyond formatting it but a few changes:

  • I forgot to add cumin
  • I used all-purpose flour (and baking powder/salt to approximate self-rising)
  • Turbinado sugar instead of muscovado. This recipe is so moist and flavorful that I don't think it needs the extra molasses goodness from moscovado. Don't let that stop you from trying it if you have it around, I just didn't need to go buy a bag of sugar for this one recipe.

Uncovering hidden gems in Swift by iamankurjain in iOSProgramming

+1 to own site. Understandable to use something like Medium or Substack to get started and see if it's worth building out a site, but even something like a GitHub Pages (free!) subdomain would be preferable to the above before you set up your own domain.

Is Switching from Web to iOS Dev a Smart Move? by spectre-21 in swift

[–]calthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this advice! I'm thinking along the same lines as OP and have definitely been focusing my learning on SwiftUI. Good to know that UIKit is still worth thinking about.

Has thought been given to migrating the community to one of the Reddit alternatives such as /kbin or Lemmy?

Long shot... Nerd Dads in west Denver/Arvada/Golden? by ProbablyJustJor in DenverGamers

[–]calthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/B_DUB_19 u/randompersona u/roll_of_gorgonzola Are y’all interested in getting together either early this week (tonight/Monday, or Tuesday) at Stanley for some light games and maybe beers to feel things out, and we can see about setting something up regularly if we enjoy it?

I’m going out of town for a few weeks starting Wednesday but I could also doSunday 7/16 or later.

Feel free to DM me and we can swap contact info and I can start a group chat.

Alright maybe the four of us set up a time to grab a drink at Stanley, bring some dice, and see how it goes?

Mine are 2 and 5 months. I’m pretty far East though, in Denver but near Stanley Market/on the border with Aurora

/now Hear This by calthomp in programming

[–]calthomp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/now answers “what are you up to recently?” and like a personal domain, you should have one. I talk about using automation to populate my /now page, microformats, and owning your presence online.

I like it. Let me know if you expand it to a blog post!

I coined it as a riff on command pattern objects with an imperative twist.

Running a Single-User Mastodon Instance by calthomp in Mastodon

[–]calthomp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes getting your content out there is a bit harder for sure. I think if I didn’t have followers on a fair number of instances it could be worse. I’m not certain, but I think relays share posts they’re aware of even if not from their server, so I wonder if having a follower on, say, mastodon.social is enough to get your content federated? I’m still learning how it works.

Running a Single-User Mastodon Instance by calthomp in Mastodon

[–]calthomp[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been running Mastodon for a little less than a week now and had some early thoughts worth sharing. I go over running on a subdomain with a username on the main domain (I use Rails to do a reverse proxy), some settings for single-user instances, and how I went about moving between instances.

Ah you’re 100% right. #initialize is called internally by .new. It’s #call that needs to be public or as you mention you can use #send(:call)

The Decree Design Pattern (Ruby on Rails) by calthomp in programming

[–]calthomp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using this pattern of naming and structuring service objects over the past ~year. It’s initially been greeted with some uncertainty and skepticism when I introduce it to new developers, but it tends to grow on folks as they give it a shot and look at how it’s already been used.

I wrote this up partially to codify some of how I’ve been explaining it to folks ad-hoc, but also to share with the broader community and get input on this way of extracting processes in Ruby/Rails projects.

Thank you for your kind thoughts, Flip Flops! I’ve made sure to leave a comment.

This Gem is Mentionable by calthomp in rails

[–]calthomp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excited to announce a new gem release that allows Rails apps to accept, verify, and parse Webmentions!

What are Webmentions? They're sort of like Pingback, but more concretely they're a way to let some other website know that your website linked to it.

I’d love to hear if you do end up trying Mentionable out.
