Nur der Chronik wegen: Die Corona-Oktoberfest-Welle. (Hier aus der Wochenend- Süddeutschen.)



Sometimes I'm tempted to justify not commenting code by saying that I don't want to come off as a n00b, or assume that the reader is one, as portrayed in this old Steve Yegge rant: steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/… I wonder if this article had that effect on anyone else.
in reply to Matt Campbell

True, type inference makes it considerably less painful since one isn't force to annotate everything all over the place. On the other hand he also includes inferring languages like Haskell and, presumably, ML and friends.
in reply to modulux

@modulux Yeah, he did.

I was totally with him on dynamic typing when I went through my Lua phase in the mid to late 2000s; that happened to correspond with discovering his writing for the first time.




Hiya, another day, another #GoToSocial release candidate:

github.com/superseriousbusines…

We fixed a couple small bugs around interaction accepts and rejects :)

Please read the release notes carefully, especially if updating to this release candidate from v0.16.0 or below! There are migrations!

If you're using SQLite on OpenBSD or FreeBSD, please take the release version with moderncsqlite in the name, as described in the release notes.

Thanks for reading and helping us find bugs! We're getting there 🙂

in reply to GoToSocial

Big big thank you to folks who tested this on FreeBSD and OpenBSD and helped us to potentially track down a memory bug. Hopefully switching DB drivers for those operating systems helps :)
in reply to GoToSocial

If you are on #OpenBSD or #FreeBSD and you're still seeing issues with extravagant memory use on this release candidate, please let us know :) Initial reports seem to indicate that the issue is resolved but we'd like to know for real before we call it fixed and move on to cutting 0.17.0 proper. Thanks!



Kritik an Israel - Amnesty: „Humanitäres Völkerrecht wird nicht eingehalten“

Amnesty International kritisiert eine „einseitige Parteinahme“ der Bundesregierung mit Israel und fordert auf, Waffenlieferungen zu stoppen.#GAZA #Libanon #AMNESTYINTERNATIONAL #ISRAEL



"In der aktuell erregt geführten Debatte über die gesellschaftliche Bedrohung durch Besteck redet niemand über Löffel. Es geht nur um die Messer. Da aber ist man quer durch die Parteien mit Verboten schnell bei der Hand. Kann sich jemand eine ähnliche Diskussion über die weitaus größere Gefahr auf Deutschlands Straßen vorstellen, über die Straftäter am Steuer? Sie scheint undenkbar. Und genau das ist das Problem."

📆 Importing external calendars is quick and easy with Tuta's Calendar import 📆 Have you tried it yet? If not, what are you waiting for?!
in reply to Tuta

Looks good! Does it support Caldav sync from an external online calendar like #nextcloud ?


Recently I asked about choosing a style sheet for developing a personal Web site that would automate the visual presentation, allowing me, as a nonvisual author, to concentrate on the markup and content.
I've started working on the site, using the "classless" version of this style sheet. github.com/picocss/pico/
I'm using the Hugo static site generator. I'll write more about it when I create a blog for longer-form posts.

Hmm teď koukám na fotky z #mastopivo a tahle se mi fakt povedla. 😃

@neskaut
To rozhodně, bylo tam hodně podobných kamarádů 😃


Musel jsem už konečně vyrazit na #cyklovýlet. Protože od #mastopivo již nepiju #birellovka, ale zásadně Bernard švestka, tak přidávám jen statistiku z Garmin. 😃

Today, @james' @Podnews revealed that @AntennaPod the amazing open-source podcast player, just added transcript support! 🎉

"Version 3.5 of podcast app AntennaPod now displays Podcasting 2.0 transcripts, joining Pocket Casts and Apple Podcasts."

This is a game-changer for accessibility, SEO, discoverability, and the ability to quickly search within an episode.

Huge shout-out to the AntennaPod team, especially Tony Tam, for developing this awesome transcript feature! 🙌

in reply to cedricdes

The menu item is only shown if the podcast you are listening to supports transcripts.
in reply to AntennaPod

@projetslibres_podcast you are the ones who introduced me to Castopod but your podcast doesn't support transcripts?

If you’re looking for a #litrpg that does a good job of balancing fun slice of life with asking difficult thoughtful questions, and is actually complete, give this one a go! I binged it over the last few days. An Unbound Soul | Royal Road www.royalroad.com/fiction/38292/an-unbound-soul#webnovel#scifi#fantasy
in reply to Sean Randall

You might also enjoy the prequel called the lonely dungeon. Though it’s not quite as strong; it’s mostly world building for this one.
in reply to Samuel Proulx

oh best get that then I suppose, if it sets things up. I did note there was a bit about that at the beginning.

Lets Encrypt will disable OCSP about 6 months after Microsoft Root program allows it to (the browsers have already okayed it).

This all could be over in a year, year and a half. If you need OCSP for your business, you need to investigate alternatives NOW - which are all proprietary.

Apache ACME will handle this change just fine. Stapling will of course no longer be provided to clients.

Jo, když ono už to slovo NÁVOD z principu zní tak nějak jako PŘÍRUČKA PRO AMATÉRY 😂

Kdybych za ty roky spočítal, kolik času jsem mohl ušetřit přečtením si jedné věty v návodu, README.txt a podobně, asi bych se nenáviděl ještě o kousek víc.

Přijďte na #linuxdays a stavte se u mě na #ubuntu stánku. Mám tu samolepky, placky a nějaké telefony s #ubuntutouch na vyzkoušení. Rád si popovídám a můžu i pomoci s nějakou novou instalací.


Wait, what is this?

Yup!

As someone who has to write emails that work in different clients: oh no 😅

Edit: which is not to say that I don't think users will appreciate it :)

A Friday news dump from yours truly: I called up Be My Eyes CEO Mike Buckley this morning to pick his brain about the recently-announced collab with Meta and the Ray-Ban smart glasses.

Amongst other things, Buckley said Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth was key to the whole thing.

I went through my sticker box and picked out the hexagonal NGI ones. These are some of the projects that risk reduced to no funding when EU decides to put tax money into AI projects instead.

Apple did the research; LLMs cannot do formal reasoning. Results change by as much as 10% if something as basic as the names change.

MiniDebConf Cambridge has officially started already, but the livestreamed talks will happen during this weekend. Check out the schedule at wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/g… #debian #debconf #miniDebConfCambridge


Delivering the final talk at the last ever XOXO was a huge responsibility, a tremendous honor, and an absolute joy.

I'm so stoked that now you can watch the video of me explaining why nothing lasts, and why this gives me hope we can create moments that'll help change the world and save each other.

So, the ham radio folks who have been telling me there will be no fallout from Israel using exploding (fake/counterfeit) Icoms

Flightaware: "Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded."

this, despite the many (god, so many) pronunciation mistakes, is a masterpiece.
I recommend that all who consider themselves allies to Jews and Palestinians watch this video essay (or even better, read the sources that were used to write it. but watching it is shorter).
