If you ever use any data resource, now is the time to start downloading materials you may need. A lot of that stuff is going to go dark or get deleted.

🌶️ #Dev hot take: SemVer is mostly meaningless, and we can drop the charade now.

Everyone adopt date-based versioning and be intentional about how and when to break things and how to communicate it effectively.

Australia plans social media ban for under-16s

This may or may not have implications for the Fediverse, however looking at this quote

"These tech companies are incredibly powerful. These apps have algorithms that drive people towards certain behaviour."

While this is the case on mainstream SM, we don't have algorithms here, so there is little to push content to people unless you follow specific hashtag. There is no financial gains either.

This could have implications here though

"There will be no exemptions on the age limit for children who have consent from their parents. The government says that the onus will be on social media platforms to show they are taking reasonable steps to prevent access."

Pehaps we should NOT be stopping young people from using social media, just change the nature of social media, like we have a different model here, that is far more civilised and respectful

You don't stop kids from crossing roads, you teach kids to cross the road safely, so we should be teaching young people how to treat each other with respect, and how to behave both in public and online.

@seungjin, political systems survives by satisfying the majority (or rather, not driving them to desperation) so they don't overthrow the ruling class. Humen are social animals, driven by their, for the lack of a better word, moral system, e.g. fairness, care, loyalty, authority, etc. These are evolutionary traits and don't necessarily reflect what is required for societies of the current scale (which only exists for some thousand years) to thrive or survive. Improvements in the overall life quality thanks to advancements are only a side effect of a long lasting civilization IMHO.

@xarvos, like someone from cjk? still better than current us fraccid result i guess

I'll bite, @seungjin, since static typing is not done at run time, it doesn't matter if it's done by the implementation (compiler/interpreter) or a third party, but that's beside the point.

Although I like both Go and Python for their large standard libraries and use them for numerous side projects, I wouldn't say their development experiences are interchangeable. The two languages handle errors, resource lifetime, meta programming and concurrency in fundamentally different ways (say, Zig is much closer to Python in philosophy TBH). It's more pleasurable to implement certain things in Python and vice versa.

In reality, however, I'd assume most software is written in whatever language management tells developers to.

was referencin the song but also yes, @xarvos

hi already hungy, i'm all roti hungyZZ

Yes, @ralen, a couple times a week, though I only watch my subscriptions (tracked via RSS). Here are some of those:

@xarvos and @kaia, thought you were talking about the leather jacket man
