I was thinking about this while trying to use Mastadon. I don't get why I have to create an account on every Mastadon server just to read. The thing is that GPG is already a federated "user identification" system so why not use that to sign posts. And with Mastadon doing the ActivityPub thing I think GPG should spread to ActivityPub too. Think about it, this is what GPG was designed for.

I just got done helping a friend recover some gimp project they messed up when I realized, if I had a similar problem while coding I'd just use git to revert my mistakes. If you use computers to create any kind of content then you have to have some sort of system for tracking your work and collaborating. So what kind of tools exist for writers, digital painters, photographers?

Full disclosure: I'm not a computer scientist, I'm just a programmer who uses these tools. Also I mainly use javascript and go, I need to spread out more but these two tools fulfill 99% of all my needs.

I had a 2am idea and when I looked it up I couldn't find any mention of someone else thinking of it. Here it is:

Function currying is a method for saving arguments on the callstack so they don't have to be copied in memory between calls. Here's a javascript example of currying:

```js const add = (leftOp) => (rightOp) => leftOp + rightOp; const addThree = add(3); console.log(addThree(4)); // 7 console.log(addThree(-2)); // 1 ```

I think all PL that support the "putting-functions-in-variables" paradime can do this. BUT. If you try to call a normal function that requires all of its arguments up front without all the arguments it will throw an error. So what if it didn't? What if instead of throwing an error, the function call returns a curried function with the first arguments filled and the unfilled arguments left to be inputted.

```js // with autocurrying const add = (leftOp, rightOp) => leftOp + rightOp; const addFive = add(5); // addFive is defined like addFive = (rightOp) => 5 + rightOp console.log(addFive(3)); // 8 ```

This could work in Javascript(/Typescript), Python, Go and similar languages. By encouraging currying you could potentaily get memory saving, readibility, and performance. But I won't ever try to sell you a stack of pros without a foundation of cons: any syntax sugar has the potential to cause logic bugs, reference bugs, and missuse.

What do you guys think?

Our team has a custom built CMS that is really painful to update. Every time we make the slightest change to the database we have to dig in and debug the thing, it's too distracting. I'm looking for a web based Content Management System solution for everyone on my team, including the non-programming marketing and admin teammates. We need the bare-bones feature set:

1. Each user can login with a username and pass

2. User can see all the tables in the database

3. User can edit each column of each row

4. Basic searching&filtering would be nice

It doesn't need to be pretty, but it's gotta be intuitive. Also I don't want to have to configure anything, just the username and password for postgres and it works.

I've already explored pgAdmin and pgweb but they were both too technical. I'm also kinda new to the corporate world so google isn't showing me ads for these kinds of things yet.

Thoughts?

The worst part of my day is when I put on my glasses. I hate wearing glasses. They're never clean, I can always see dust and lens flares which means all my software has to be in nightmode. I can feel them on my ears all the time, it doesn't matter how good my glasses are I'm just constantly aware of my ears. I hate breaking them in, I've been wearing the same glasses for 5 years. And contacts are not a good solution for me, (this is literally just me) the first time I fail to get one in my mind is filled with every frustrating event thats ever happened to me and I can't continue.

The correct solution for me is to get my eyes lasered, but thats expensive, dangerous, and involves a recovery period.

I don't mind wearing my glasses all day. I just wanted to ask if someone knew a better way?
