@andrewrk It has been 0 days since a GitHub bug for me. Just yesterday I was half way writing up an issue and their fancy shmancy new React editor locked up, refusing to moving the edit cursor at all.

@jwz I think the | and the () have inverse precedence ... maybe? IOW the opening paren around the G implies a paren group around everything before it.

@marcan @ian @waldi @delroth @sleevi With the caveat that very little of this has been tested legally, in the US a court will consider the whole of a defendant's actions, considering their apparent intent and whether their attempts at compliance were genuine. So that proxy schenanigens are very unlikely to survive the legal process.

Currently #Debian linux is going through a massive migration project to rely on a 64 bit time rather than a 32 bit time (to avoid #y2k38). Debian has these migrations from time to time. About 10 years ago there was a migration to leap a C++ ABI change. Every time these come up I'm amazed at how well executed they are and by how the core dpkg/apt tools have proven their fundamental over and over again for 30 (!!!!) years. I am so thankful to everyone involved in Debian for such a reliable OS.

Mind sharing joinmastodon.org's response when you asked to list blackqueer.life there?

My employer (Ad Hoc, we're hiring!) took @simon up on this idea a while back. It was fantastic! Dozens of our engineers gained exposure to Datasette and SQLite. Simon let us help shape the talk ahead of time and he was astoundingly capable of shifting the talk on the fly. Afterward my team explored using this setup with Litestream for replication as an alternative to AWS's Athena. Speaking with Simon saved us probably 8 hours of exploratory work.

@ebassi @brennen That is perhaps true of polls run directly by an open source project. Those projects could pay for the expertise required to run polls effectively and analyze the resulting data holistically.

Telemetry is also statistically biased. There is zero assurance that you're assessing the entire population of users. You're effectively oversampling users for whom the software already works well. You cannot appropriately develop weights to counter that because of the population problem.

@Gargron baseball cap would be a good option too.
