Jack Linke 🌈

I haven't been around "X" much lately, but finally wrote something, so I figured I'd share with any of y'all who haven't transitioned away from this modern hellscape of a site/app. jacklinke.com/alternatives-t…

@htmx_org Wild how differently people can feel about the same thing. Writing htmx has made my work on web-based stuff *significantly* easier/better/funner.

gentlemen, it is with deep sorrow & furious anger that I must report that we are so back

@RexFrost10 @Erickschultz11 @TulsiGabbard Victim blaming 101 🙄 If she didn't wear that dress she wouldn't have been assaulted. If he wasn't being flamboyant he wouldn't have been beaten. If he didn't look like a thug he wouldn't have been shot. If they didn't consider Nato, they wouldn't have been invaded.

@Erickschultz11 @TulsiGabbard If they had stayed neutral on nato this war would not have happened

Today’s Democratic Party has led us to the brink of nuclear war. The party is led by cowardly warmongers who are firmly in the grips of the military industrial complex, and don’t know or care about the cost of war, or who pays the price.

Added a new widget to django-pint-field today which shows a table of conversions to each unit in unit_choices right in the form in addition to the selected magnitude and unit. Take a look 😃 github.com/jacklinke/djan…

Ever tried to use htmx along with DataTables? There are two issues that trip new users up: 1. Getting dynamically-created content with "hx-" atributes to work. 2. Getting the table to update its contents when a form is submitted. Hopefully… @jack/109689290692613505" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">social.jacklinke.com/@jack/10968929…

Hubby is on a Harry Potter marathon, and it got me thinking about the witches of American Horror Story, so I made this Mashup meme 😆

@sambutlerUS @htmx_org I have. Mostly with Leaflet and using htmx to lazy load pop-up content. What are you working on?

@JackDLinke have you done any work with @htmx_org and GIS? I'm interested in trying some geospatial work with HTMX and hypermedia — if you have any experience with that, I'd love to hear and connect!

I've been away a few weeks due to a huge amount of work I needed to get done, and of course the holidays 😄 Hope you all enjoyed some time with friends and family ❤️ One of the things I recently worked on is django-pint-field, a… @jack/109621096542777289" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">social.jacklinke.com/@jack/10962109…

@xoMiaMoore @coilysiren Yep+ us.loopearplugs.com

At some point I saw an advertisement for some noise dampening semi earplugs, I think? It was advertised as being for people with audio processing issues, for talking / typing / eating. Before I go hunting for it, has anyone seen / used a similar thing that they recommend???

Sometimes open source is frustrating 😔 But this article by 🐘willmcgugan@mastodon.social is a fantastic reminder of some of the reasons open source is also awesome as a learning resource and as a way to interact with the world.

@brianwisti Omg. Your tweet reminded me my appointment for refill is in 1 hour. I'm currently in bed 😲

The Pulse nightclub shooting was what finally pushed me to come out. The realization that so many #lgbt folks taken during that shooting and in a myriad of other terrible events around the world would never be able to live out their lives… @jack/109378980337360212" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">social.jacklinke.com/@jack/10937898…

I'm constantly learning about topics like GIS, graph theory, discrete mathematics, business processes, etc 🤓. Sometimes I speak in public on topics related to tech.

Added a new TIL on extending django-grappelli's admin index to add a list of our tenants and links to their sites.

Here's the profile. Weird, right?

This seems really weird... Just got followed by: 🐘cute_cat@social.jacklinke.com 🐘onevery.ignorelist.com@social.jacklinke.com I'm the only one that account is following. What is this? Some sort of bot?

@TyrelSouza Interesting. I can't even load their instance, though, lol https://onevery.ignorelist. com/users/cute_cat

Well, that came across weird. The account is: @ cute_cat@ onevery.ignorelist .com
