jack, como você conseguiu o javascript? demorou muito tempo?
Eu mandei uma solicitação pelo suporte seguindo esse tutorial aqui. É importante você seguir direitinho e ter o link da página que quer usar. Mandei a solicitação no dia 03/02 e no dia seguinte eles me enviaram um email pedindo pra especificar:
O código que quero usar + a url da página onde o erro aparece. Aqui eu peguei a página do pastebin da página que queria, e o link da página de customização onde eu tentava usar e recebia o erro de javascript. Eu sugiro que você use a mesma página que enviou no ticket inicial pro suporte.
A url da página onde eu quero adicionar um código com javascript. No caso do diretório, eu enviei https://jackhelps.tumblr.com/diretorio. Não enviei todas, só uma pra cada blog que pedi pra liberar.
O motivo de eu precisar usar um código com javascript. Eles pedem pra especificar como esse código vai melhorar a experiência pra você e pra outros usuários. Expliquei que gostaria de ter uma página com a possibilidade de filtrar o conteúdo dela pra facilitar para os usuários que usam o meu diretório. Sugiro explicar com detalhes pra ter mais chances de liberarem.
Eu só vi esse email dois dias depois, respondi com todos os detalhes pro meu tumblr principal e para os dois sideblogs. Recebi o email avisando que eles liberaram javascript pra mim no dia 15/02, mas só liberaram em dois dos três blogs que pedi. Foram umas duas semanas ao todo, então. Esse processo todo foi em inglês, e não sei qual foi o critério pra não liberar pra um dos três, já que eles não explicaram. Também não acho que é uma garantia, eu já fiz esse mesmo processo pedindo javascript pra outro blog, e não recebi resposta nenhuma. Ah, e no primeiro email de confirmação de que receberam o seu ticket eles também avisam que pode demorar bastante tempo pra responderem a solicitação, então acho que o tempo pode variar.

WHAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE YOU KNOW
If someone offers you money, take it. When you let customers tell you what they're after, they will often reveal amazing details about what they find valuable as well what they're willing to pay for. Once you start talking to users, I guarantee you'll be surprised by what they tell you. When you can't get users, it's hard to get them to move halfway around the world; that might be convincing. This means you should be able to explain in one or two sentences exactly what it is. Creating wealth is not a zero-sum game, so you start to get used to how things are. They're all things I tell people.
It's them you have to choose cofounders and how hard you have to design your site for. And this skill is so hard to follow is that people will assume, correctly or not, what they do is related to the parentheses. But if languages are all equivalent, why should the pointy-haired boss miraculously combines two qualities that are common by themselves, but rarely seen together: a he knows nothing whatsoever about technology, and b hackers who work in certain fields: startup founders, programmers, professors. James Gosling, or the founders hate one another—the stress of getting that first version out will expose it. The principle extends even into programming. But plenty of projects are not demanding at all. I propose is whether we cause people who read what we've written to do anything differently afterward. I think what he was measuring was mostly the cost of bigness.
Working for oneself, or at least, that I'm using abstractions that aren't powerful enough—often that I'm generating by hand the expansions of some macro that I need to write a program depends mostly on its length. After many email exchanges with Java hackers, I would say that this has been, unfortunately for philosophy, the central fact of philosophy. The government could not do better than to piggyback on their expertise, and use investment by recognized startup investors as the test of whether a company was a real startup. At Viaweb now Yahoo Store, this software continues to dominate its market. The reason we don't see the opportunities all around us is that we invest in the initial round took months to pay us, and only did after repeated nagging from our lawyer, who was also, fortunately, his lawyer. There are things I know I learned from studying philosophy.1 Raising money, in particular, younger and more technical founders will be able to achieve the essayist's standard of proof, not the mathematician's or the experimentalist's.2 Software should be written in, or didn't care, I wanted to keep it that way. The contacts and advice. It's probably perfect.
Notes
Delicious users are stupid.
In effect they were buying a phenomenon, or it would take up, how do they learn that nobody wants what they do, because the illiquidity of progress puts them at the 30-foot table Kate Courteau designed for scale. So it's hard to say that IBM makes decent hardware. What I dislike is editing done after the first wave of the conversion of buildings not previously public, like arithmetic drills, instead of profits—but only if the value of understanding per se but from what the attitude of a severe-looking little box with a walrus mustache and a wing collar who had died decades ago. I believe Lisp Machine Lisp was the reason it might be digital talent.

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is starting to put together a team to migrate the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.
The project is being organized by Elon Musk lieutenant Steve Davis, multiple sources who were not given permission to talk to the media tell WIRED, and aims to migrate all SSA systems off COBOL, one of the first common business-oriented programming languages, and onto a more modern replacement like Java within a scheduled tight timeframe of a few months.
Under any circumstances, a migration of this size and scale would be a massive undertaking, experts tell WIRED, but the expedited deadline runs the risk of obstructing payments to the more than 65 million people in the US currently receiving Social Security benefits.
“Of course, one of the big risks is not underpayment or overpayment per se; [it’s also] not paying someone at all and not knowing about it. The invisible errors and omissions,” an SSA technologist tells WIRED.
The Social Security Administration did not immediately reply to WIRED’s request for comment.
SSA has been under increasing scrutiny from president Donald Trump’s administration. In February, Musk took aim at SSA, falsely claiming that the agency was rife with fraud. Specifically, Musk pointed to data he allegedly pulled from the system that showed 150-year-olds in the US were receiving benefits, something that isn’t actually happening. Over the last few weeks, following significant cuts to the agency by DOGE, SSA has suffered frequent website crashes and long wait times over the phone, The Washington Post reported this week.
This proposed migration isn’t the first time SSA has tried to move away from COBOL: In 2017, SSA announced a plan to receive hundreds of millions in funding to replace its core systems. The agency predicted that it would take around five years to modernize these systems. Because of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the agency pivoted away from this work to focus on more public-facing projects.
Like many legacy government IT systems, SSA systems contain code written in COBOL, a programming language created in part in the 1950s by computing pioneer Grace Hopper. The Defense Department essentially pressured private industry to use COBOL soon after its creation, spurring widespread adoption and making it one of the most widely used languages for mainframes, or computer systems that process and store large amounts of data quickly, by the 1970s. (At least one DOD-related website praising Hopper's accomplishments is no longer active, likely following the Trump administration’s DEI purge of military acknowledgements.)
As recently as 2016, SSA’s infrastructure contained more than 60 million lines of code written in COBOL, with millions more written in other legacy coding languages, the agency’s Office of the Inspector General found. In fact, SSA’s core programmatic systems and architecture haven’t been “substantially” updated since the 1980s when the agency developed its own database system called MADAM, or the Master Data Access Method, which was written in COBOL and Assembler, according to SSA’s 2017 modernization plan.
SSA’s core “logic” is also written largely in COBOL. This is the code that issues social security numbers, manages payments, and even calculates the total amount beneficiaries should receive for different services, a former senior SSA technologist who worked in the office of the chief information officer says. Even minor changes could result in cascading failures across programs.
“If you weren't worried about a whole bunch of people not getting benefits or getting the wrong benefits, or getting the wrong entitlements, or having to wait ages, then sure go ahead,” says Dan Hon, principal of Very Little Gravitas, a technology strategy consultancy that helps government modernize services, about completing such a migration in a short timeframe.
It’s unclear when exactly the code migration would start. A recent document circulated amongst SSA staff laying out the agency’s priorities through May does not mention it, instead naming other priorities like terminating “non-essential contracts” and adopting artificial intelligence to “augment” administrative and technical writing.
Earlier this month, WIRED reported that at least 10 DOGE operatives were currently working within SSA, including a number of young and inexperienced engineers like Luke Farritor and Ethan Shaotran. At the time, sources told WIRED that the DOGE operatives would focus on how people identify themselves to access their benefits online.
Sources within SSA expect the project to begin in earnest once DOGE identifies and marks remaining beneficiaries as deceased and connecting disparate agency databases. In a Thursday morning court filing, an affidavit from SSA acting administrator Leland Dudek said that at least two DOGE operatives are currently working on a project formally called the “Are You Alive Project,” targeting what these operatives believe to be improper payments and fraud within the agency’s system by calling individual beneficiaries. The agency is currently battling for sweeping access to SSA’s systems in court to finish this work. (Again, 150-year-olds are not collecting social security benefits. That specific age was likely a quirk of COBOL. It doesn’t include a date type, so dates are often coded to a specific reference point—May 20, 1875, the date of an international standards-setting conference held in Paris, known as the Convention du Mètre.)
In order to migrate all COBOL code into a more modern language within a few months, DOGE would likely need to employ some form of generative artificial intelligence to help translate the millions of lines of code, sources tell WIRED. “DOGE thinks if they can say they got rid of all the COBOL in months, then their way is the right way, and we all just suck for not breaking shit,” says the SSA technologist.
DOGE would also need to develop tests to ensure the new system’s outputs match the previous one. It would be difficult to resolve all of the possible edge cases over the course of several years, let alone months, adds the SSA technologist.
“This is an environment that is held together with bail wire and duct tape,” the former senior SSA technologist working in the office of the chief information officer tells WIRED. “The leaders need to understand that they’re dealing with a house of cards or Jenga. If they start pulling pieces out, which they’ve already stated they’re doing, things can break.”

Top five small birds go
PICKING ONLY 5 is CRUEL but I don't have time for 10. Species names will have the links to photo sources where applicable.
Long-tailed Manakin. They take like 4-5 years for the males to learn their dances and each year they look a little more like adults to match their experience! They are little and yet have very long tails!! And cute little caps! Very elegant tiny birds.
Tumblr media
(Photo by me, bird handled and released on site with permits as part of MoSI, a long-running collaborative research program).
2. Wrentit. Look past the plain gray exterior, let me teach you some BIRD FACTS because these guys are basically aliens. They live in a very small part of the west coast of North America in scrub/chaparral, and we still don't really know how they got there or where their nearest relatives are or what birds they're even related to, though recently they think maybe it's parrotbills, which are otherwise mostly found in SE Asia.
During the breeding season, most female birds develop a brood patch, a section of bare skin on the belly for aiding in heat transfer to the eggs, and most male birds develop a swollen cloaca to facilitate sperm transfer. In some species where males help incubate, they also get brood patches. This is fine. Male Wrentits get brood patches. A little weird but not too crazy. Female Wrentits, however, get a swollen cloaca? Why?? Nothing else in North America does this? I don't.... understand.
Also they're cute, they have a song that's like a bouncy ball going down stairs, and males and females have slightly different songs, so even though we can't determine the sex in the hand like with normal birds, at least if they sing you can tell. Normal birds don't sing when being handled. Wrentits definitely sometimes do. I don't get it. But I love them for it.
Tumblr media
(Photo mine, bird banded and released on site with permits as part of MAPS, a long-term research program).
3. Calliope Hummingbird. Itty bitty tiny creature, would absolutely spear you to death with its face if it thought it could pull that off. Hummingbirds in general are territorial and aggressive and these guys are no exception. Also they're beautiful. Look at that starburst of a face!
Tumblr media
(I have photos but don't want to go dig them up, I'm lazy)
4. Java Sparrow. Help, I'm hopelessly charmed by how adorable they are. Unfortunately, apparently everyone else is too, and these are now critically endangered in their home range of Java due to habitat loss and poaching for the pet trade. The good?? news is they're also super invasive in places like Hawaii, so they're not about to go globally extinct, so that's cool, I guess.
Tumblr media
5. Micronesian Rufous Fantail, formerly just Rufous Fantail, aka chichirika na'abak because look I don't know proper indigenous names for everything but I do for my study birds and I support their use. Chichirika is CHamoru for "showoff" and na'abak is "the one who will lead you astray", after the local stories of kids trying to follow these delightful little low-flitting creatures through the jungles and getting hopelessly lost, leading to village search parties.
Anyway, look at that tail!! Go listen to their cute little squeaks! I'm absolutely in love. I've banded literal hundreds of these and they never ever get old. Every single one of them is a treasure to me.

Ieri ho avuto una telefonata con una dei docenti del corso universitario dove insegnerò a Settembre, ed è stata la goccia finale su un vaso colmo di sfiducia verso il sistema, al punto tale che non so se continuerò questa esperienza. E francamente parlando, anche se quella che sto per raccontare non ne è la causa, capisco anche perché non si trovano più insegnanti, a queste condizioni non accetto nemmeno io di esserlo, porterò alla fine questa avventura e amen.
E' da settimane che mi confronto con altre persone che insegnano, come il mio amico che insegna alla Facoltà di Ingegneria alla Federico II, e altri docenti in Italia e qui, anche perché io ho sempre voglia di imparare da persone che si fanno il mazzo da secoli su queste cose e ne hanno da dirtene, ma stavolta sto imparando che non è cosa
Tumblr media
Ieri la frase che mi ha gelato di più è stata
non esagerare che i ragazzi poi si annoiano
Chi mi conosce sa che io adoro insegnare, e chi mi ha seguito su @papero-learning sa che faccio sempre di tutto per rendere digeribili concetti che non sono alla portata quotidiana di tutti (se poi ci riesco è un altro paio di maniche, ma lo sforzo c'è), ma qua sta avvenendo un cambio di paradigma che, a mio parere, è molto pericoloso, e se questo cambio è dovuto ad un salto generazionale inevitabile, allora vuol dire che ci siamo scollati, e io non intendo contribuire a 'sta pagliacciata.
Io trovo inaccettabile che chi ha deciso volontariamente di iscriversi ad un corso universitario specializzante trovi "noiosa" la teoria. Sì, vero, ci sono dei prof di merda, come ci sono dei colleghi di merda, dei capi di merda, amen. Si può rendere qualsiasi contenuto interessante, ma non a scapito della conoscenza approfondita di un argomento che un corso deve fornire. Un concetto come il massimo comune denominatore può essere raccontato a mo' di Superquark, anzi, deve essere così per tutti coloro che non hanno scelto di fare dell'algebra la loro ragione di vita, ma chi ha deciso altrimenti si deve studiare tutte le cazzo di proprietà, e se un ragazzo di 20 anni ancora non ha compreso che quelle cose apparentemente fini a se stesse fanno parte di quei tanti piccoli mattoni che compongono l'impalcatura di una professione futura, beh, allora tanto vale che vada a rubare o che si faccia spiegare le cose da ChatGPT. E' un discorso da vecchio di merda? Sì, boh, non lo so, e anche se fosse me ne fotto.
Tutti questi ragionamenti me li sarei tenuti per me, o ci avrei scritto sopra molto più in là, ma (sarà che a volte si allineano i pianeti) il reblog di @kon-igi al post di @nusta stamattina ha dato fuoco a quella mia lunga coda di paglia formatasi in queste settimane di confronto con le persone di cui parlavo prima. Sì, i post parlavano d'altro, però boh, io ci ho visto alla radice una matrice che, sebbene io condivida in linee generali quello che ha scritto Kon, non accetto più quando quel tipo di discorso inizia ad infiltrarsi subdolamente in aree dove la velocità non è ammissibile e l'intensità per me è solo sinonimo di approfondimento. Ripeto ancora, il reblog era molto probabilmente inteso per altri contesti, ma io temo che ormai ci si stia arrendendo al fatto che o è tutta una tiktokata (=> romanticizzazione e spettacolarizzazione), anche la scienza, o non se ne fa più nulla.
La tizia della frase sopra in corsivo, prima di organizzare il nostro incontro, mi aveva scritto nell'email
due to the lack of programming skills we started learning programming Java and did only data structures like array list, linked lists and binary trees
Il suo corso è un corso del secondo anno di teoria dell'informazione, e scrivere due to the lack of programming skills è un fallimento su tutta la linea, e non ce l'ho con lei, perché con chi parli parli sembra che sia tutto così, e io mi trovo a dovermi fare carico di concetti avanzati (il mio corso è di programmazione avanzata) col problema che non capiranno un cazzo, perché, per non essere troppo noiosi, i miei colleghi hanno dovuto derogare la qualità dell'insegnamento a favore di, come vogliamo chiamarla, una gita al parco a scrivere un paio di if-then-else?
Tutto questo sfogo non è inteso per mettermi dalla parte della ragione, è solo uno sfogo per aiutarmi ad accettare il fatto che non appartengo più ad un mondo che è andato troppo avanti per me, e di adeguarmi sinceramente non ne ho voglia, soprattutto perché lo trovo deontologicamente parlando una bestemmia, lascio il posto a persone più capaci.

Splendors of Youth/Toll of Time
It was quiet in the coffee shop when Travis walked in. His morning had not started well, angry texts from his ex reminding him how shit of a boyfriend he had been. But, still- he wasn't the boyfriend type. He wanted to enjoy being 22 and hot, able to walk into a club and leave with any guy he deemed worthy.
So when he walked into the shop, smelling of java and fresh pastries, he was barely cognizant of the old man standing by the counter. It wasn't that he was unable to see him, per se. It's that he often disregarded people who weren't his impending sexual dalliance, or someone giving him some sort of service.
The old man, however, was quite interested in the young man walking in. He - Bert - was admittedly still attracted to guys way too young for his 62 years of experience. The boy was wearing tight joggers, a tee-shirt tight enough to see his pecs, abs, and biceps. He also had a backwards cap on, which was a thing he secretly enjoyed - those straight-acting boys who presented masc. He could tell the boy had no care for him. In fact, he was not even flicking a single glance in his direction.
Despite Bert clearly standing in front of the register waiting for the barista to return with his coffee, Travis stepped right up to the counter. "Hey, can I get some service here!"
The young woman pouring coffee for Bert on the back wall looked up with confusion. "Yes, one moment please. I am serving this gentleman."
Travis followed her gesturing to Bert, who cocked a half-smile and nodded. Travis harrumphed, and gave him the cold shoulder.
"You seem testy. Everything alright?" Bert asked Travis.
"Why are speaking to me?" Travis said, not even turning around.
"Well, I thought maybe you might talk while you wait for your order." Bert explained.
"I don't need some crusty old queen to waste my time, ok? I'm just running late and need this caffeine bad." Travis waved, still not looking at Bert.
"Ok, no need for the jab. Aren't you a ray of sunshine..." Bert snipped.
"Ugh, of course he gets sassy." Travis bemoans into the air.
"You just don't think I'm worth your time or attention. I get it. You are young, hot, and want to enjoy it. I admit I miss those days. It doesn't mean you have to be a brat about it, though." Bert chided.
"Well, I also don't need your lecture. But here we are." Travis said, finally turning.
"Hi!" A cheery voice said from behind. The two looked at the woman behind the counter. "I think you'd both enjoy a sample of this. It's a new coffee we are testing!"
Travis and Bert looked at her, a big beaming smile eerily distracting them from their tiff.
"Uh... thanks?" Travis mumbled, accepting the tiny cup of coffee. It almost had a purple color? He tossed it back, and felt the hot liquid surging through his body. A strange sensation overtaking him, feeling a little lighter somehow.
Bert took his, and followed suit. The liquid similarly surged through his esophagus, down into his stomach where it too made him feel light. The two stood for a moment, and then stumbled back as they both had a simultaneous headrush. Colors swam across their vision, and a sound whirled in their ears.
As the sensation receded, the two felt themselves coming to. Both were turned from one another, having twisted about in their short fit. Bert, suddenly quite terse cried out, "Whatever that was is NOT coffee, you bitch!"
Travis turned, and snapped at the angry Bert. "Hey kid, calm down!"
Except, the Travis who turned and saw Bert was no longer Travis. He was stunned as he took in the image of a man before him. An old man, fine white hair, wrinkly face, the sweater and button-up combo he distinctly remember choosing this morning...
The man who wore Bert's face was now turning and having a similar experience. He saw the young, fit man wearing his joggers and gym shirt... his face??
"What the hell is this..." Travis said, feeling his tongue in his mouth, the very texture of it suddenly, aggressively foreign to him. He was also acutely aware of his bones, feeling them grinding across one another at the joints, his body suddenly much colder too.
Bert was experiencing a different sensation. He felt vital, with an energy in his limbs that felt capable of summiting a mountain right here and now. He was warm, and quite firm as he probed his chest and arms with youthful, unwrinkled hands.
"Enjoy your coffee!" The barista called out. She then disappeared by the counter into the backroom.
As the barista mader her swift exit, Bert was struck by a similar impulse. This was a gift, karmic, cosmic, who cared? He was hot, young, and immensely fuckable.
"Well, see ya kid!" He sang to Travis, now trapped in his older frame. "I'm gonna go."
"No, wait! We need to swap back. I can't be... this? You?!" Travis pleaded, as he reached for Bert's arm. Bert yanked his arm away from Travis' grasp.
"I think not. Maybe this will be a good experience for you. On the other hand, I know this will be a very fun experience for me." Bert started to walk away, when his phone- Travis' phone- chimed. "Oh, who is this? An ex of yours?"
"Noooo! Don't talk to him!" Travis complained.
"Oh, he is cute... I think I'll give him a call. See if he'll take you... or me, back?" Bert smirked. He wondered why anyone would have split with such a cute guy. He spun around and walked through the door. Travis on the other hand started yelling for the barista to come back and reverse this.
She would never appear.
