I wrote this blog post about my #AdventOfCode2022 foray into #FunctionalProgramming using the #Elm 🌳 language and then completely forgot to share it! It was an interesting experience, with the main conclusion that I won't continue using Elm but that I want to keep investigating functional programming patterns and design.
Thoughts welcome 😁

Much love to my friends of all of all faiths and no faith. Pass it on!
@eScienceCenter @egpbos Interesting blog post! My initial reaction is that GHCR still suffers from the same deficiencies as DockerHub: you are relying on the good will of a company to continue to make these services free, and the underlying code for this infrastructure is proprietary. Zenodo is an interesting suggested alternative, but as you point out has the manual download step which makes it quite inconvenient. Sounds like a docker interface to Zenodo could be something useful 🤔

Are you using Docker Hub to store your containerized #Software? Recent attempts to change it’s pricing model have made it less attractive as a long-term repository.
Check out our #Blog post by Patrick Bos (@egpbos) to learn about some great free alternatives: https://blog.esciencecenter.nl/ditching-docker-hub-serve-research-software-with-ghcr-zenodo-2e47b8c93d88
@rkdarst @us_rse @de_rse @nordic_rse Great question and I have been wondering the same thing. Need to raise with SocRSE (UK) to get a mastodon account since they have a lot of followers in the community and that move in itself might bring a lot of people over here.
I have seen Guppe groups used for this sort of thing https://a.gup.pe I just created one called @researchsoftware Any toot you do that mentions that name will go out to everyone who follows that account. Kind of like an email distribution list.
There is also https://fedi.directory for finding lists of people to follow. We could inquire about getting an Research Software Engineering topic created on there.

Shortly after Twitter released the 400.000 lines of code of their tweet ranking algorithm the mastodon algorithm code leaked. It is ‘select * from toots order by publishing_date desc’

hey so did y’all know about the oral part of the CCNA exam?

Amazing how many brilliant scientists will look at an LLM "passing" a standardized test and think, "wow, this computer is very smart" and not "standardized tests are very bad at measuring intelligence"

Microsoft released copilot in Excel, and it is officially caught up with Google on the AI race.
Fantastic to watch.

Our #CodeRefinery workshop is next week, and we are getting close to 500 registrations. We are especially happy how we can cater to so many different learning styles and ways of attending - we aren't a typical online course!
CodeRefinery teaches to practical tools for developing #ResearchSoftware, targeted to scientists. Either join yourself, or join and help make a local breakout/exercise session for your own community:
