re: new blogpost: “Running a Wiki with a Server and Git” 

@aescling `which sh` on macOS is "/bin/sh" but on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS is "/usr/bin/sh"

Ubuntu does actually symlink "/bin/sh" (which is FHS) but running scripts through /usr/bin/env is generally considered good practice regardless as, in the worst case, it gives people just one command to have to symlink on their machines instead of all of them

@coriander clearly needs to join fedi we have a surplus of bottoms

it’s better to laugh about conflict and affirm solidarity in the face of it than pretend it doesn’t exist, imo

re: javascript complaining 

@hack in idiomatic JS, typically functions are defined at the top level (often imported from another module) and only ever called from within other functions, with the entrypoint usually being a file which depends on all the others

in this case, the definition order and execution order are effectively decoupled (and necessarily, since module load order is undefined)—all the top-level declarations which define constants will have executed before the main entrypoint executes.

you're right that you can't do, like

```
main();
const main = () => blah();
```

whereas you can with functions. but this would go against best-practices either way. best-practices would be

```
import main from "./main.js";
main();
```

and in that situation definition and execution order are decoupled by nature of the module system

(as for why people use arrow functions now instead of the other ones, that's a different conversation but the short answer is people find them easier to write and conceptually simpler)

re: javascript complaining 

@hack `let` statements can also be written in any order so long as the statement has executed by the time the function is actually called

« We have learned that an OTW volunteer is currently being retaliated against by the leadership within the OTW for speaking out against the racism they have experienced. We (Fandom Against Racism) support whatever measures are necessary for the OTW to fulfill their pledge to make the org and their projects a more inclusive and less racist space. » god can you get any more euphemistic. just call for Alex’s resignation like everybody else
