Without going into too much detail (because I can’t) when you set up a PDS there are environment variables for known relays.

So at start up you request a crawl and the relays will also open a websocket which will report all future changes.

That’s a misunderstanding. You can ask the relay what PDSs have items in a collection.

So each PDS just has to request a crawl from the relay and Tap should pick it up.

Noooo!

But function composition and application in this way can be substituted for one another.

I think mathematicians usually compose instead; I’m legitimately interested though if they do have a syntax for this.

Elm had that one too though with <<<

All in jest I swear.

Probably needed more emojis with stuck out tongues.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen mathematicians do this.

Is it just a programmer thing?

P.S. Real functional programmers just use . for function composition.

I'm coming to Japan with the Fam in Jan.

It's summer in Australia so I'm sure we're not prepared.

I think most people would put their steam box to sleep when not playing.

What I think would be cool is if you could host a PDS on your router. That shit's always on.

Will that really work though?

Most people don't have static IP addresses, nor the ability to easily set up DNS to point to their home.

Also, a gaming rig is likely to be a pretty big power hog, much more so that a Raspberry Pi or similar.

I just can't handle that it's also when I'm getting ready for Christmas and have my family to hang out with.

But seriously, the ABC and @australia.theguardian.com have pictures of Trump being a massive tool as their headline stories; while really important laws and events are barely covered.

Isn't it amazing how electing a government of well meaning people with experience results in positive policy changes.

But composable moderation or just block the tool.

Yeah, nah.
