“Choose Boring Technology”
I entirely agree if you want to actually ship. Learning takes a back seat. For me, the boring, reliable, predictable tech is #Scala + FP (mostly Typelevel, Lightbend, SoftwareMill stuff) and PostgreSQL 🤷♂️

As you know, Leasey contains a feature called LeaseyClips, allowing you to copy multiple text segments and paste them into a text edit area in any order of your choosing. However, Leasey version 9 also contains the ability to automatically append text to the windows clipboard for those people who would like to use it in this way.

“Oh great. It's no longer possible to download the Barnes & Noble Nook app, which means there's no way to install it on my new tablet. This in turn means that the ~100 books I have on Nook are now gone. Pffft. I will never be able to read them again.

"a filename when none exists"
Starting in #curl 8.10.0, curl works a little harder to come up with a filename to store the download in when -O is used.

http://example.com/one/two/?id=42, what happens when the file 'two' already exists and then you change it to id=43?
I wonder what those people think, e. g., @shanselman, @davidfowl.
Sometimes big enterprises get caught up in business rules and compatibility requirements and forget about common sense and fair interactions between humans but there are always people in there who can see through all this and can escalate things in there.
As curl users we can probably agree that the alias is pointless.
Over at Twitter anti-nuclear Green loudmouth Hanno Klausmeier is calling for a full year prison sentence for the audacity of delaying the demolition of the #Grafenrheinfeld cooling towers last Friday.
Is Klausmeier calling for such draconian punishment for the mere inconvenience of waiting 1.5 hours longer before the towers got demolished?
Or is it something else and is he afraid for a louder pro-nuclear voice that he wants to scare into silence?
You decide.

in reply to Gerry McGovern • • •After casual brushes with #accelerationism and #longterminism I am extremely weary about this #degrowth idea I just learned about.
I fear that if I scratch the surface, there will be a promise of a large pile of dead bodies of the "out group"
#fascism got a bad rep, so it's slapping new labels on its core beliefs to recruit more enthusiastic grayshirts/redhats.

in reply to Gerry McGovern • • •Cool!
I did a bit more reading.
I was always sceptical of the notion that we need ~3.5% growth in our #economy just to stay where we are.
The only thing in nature with infinite growth is cancer...and it stops only once it kills the host.
I'm sold

in reply to Wulfy • • •I have a very vivid memory of being confused about 3-5% annual growth. It was 5th grade and an introduction to economics class.
I put up my hand to ask what happens to car companies when people have enough cars and how many cars to people need? The teacher was completely confused about how to answer.
It was only a few weeks prior the same teacher had taught us about the ecological balance of nature... the wolves eat the deer, the deer eat the plants, and everything stays in balance.... then brings in this class about infinite growth and my little brain was trying to figure out the balance part.
It didn't seem weird to her that the laws of nature don't exist when it comes to exploiting nature.
