1st toot - Hello #fosstodon, I'm a fan of 
+ more, and keen to continue learning and developing FOSS
After some thought, I've decided I can call myself a "software developer". I'd previously been disqualifying myself, but I've made some small pip-installable packages and contributed to a handful of projects... so might as well stop gatekeeping myself
Tesla states that their carbon savings so far are 3,6 megatons: https://www.tesla.com/carbonimpact?redirect=no
The current carbon footprint of bitcoin is 36,95 megatons/year: https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption/ (probably underestimated)
The price of bitcoin has risen 10% on the announcement of this news.
Bitcoin's economic model is set up so that a 10% increase in price will lead to roughly a ten percent increase in emissions.
So in one year, this price increase will wipe out ALL of Tesla's carbon savings.
Ledger or Trezor? Decisions, decisions...
The number of emails GitHub sends me to say that my latest push broke something in the continuous integration is demoralizing 🙃
In 2015, I interviewed for a job at Robinhood. The founders had seen a blog post I wrote about how the SEC killed my crypto startup, and thought I might be a good fit.
I guess they realized that it's easier to join the establishment than to beat it.
The number of remixes and covers of the Teriyaki Boyz iconic song "Tokyo Drift" from the F&F movie of the same name is bonkers 🎧
I'm waiting for the day my to-do list ever gets shorter. Not that it is a bad problem to have!
After experiencing the past 12 months the ability of people to be perpetual optimists astounds me
It is crazy to me how user-friendly modern Ubuntu is. If I just used the machine for e-mail/internet I don't think I'd notice the difference from Windows/MacOS - doesn't seem like Linux forces its users to use the command-line anymore
I don't use #QGIS all that often but did a bit this week. Super great experience, installed the "Freehand raster georeferencer" plugin (http://gvellut.github.io/FreehandRasterGeoreferencer/) and did some stuff. So thank you to all the open-sorcerers who helped make that possible!
Ever try to wake up from a dream but it turns out you are already awake? Conversely ever try to wake up from a dream only to find you've woke up in another dream (Inception style)? What is real?
Nature Briefing: "First peek inside Mars reveals a crust with cake-like layers"
Me: So like this?
I've just published:
"Maps with Django (part 1): GeoDjango, SpatiaLite and Leaflet"
A quickstart guide to create a web #map 🗺️ with #Django 🦄 using its module #GeoDjango 🌍, the #SQLite 🪶 database with its spatial extension #SpatiaLite 🌐 and #Leaflet 🍃

Planning to at least try out a new programming language by porting some code to something else.
Thinking either Julia or Rust, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? The code in question will need to do some array operations + a weighted random walk
