6·2 年前Wow. I was today years old when I learnt about the “echo”. The anti-Semitic world is weird. Incidentally trying to find out what the three parentheses meant with a search engine was impossible, I ended up having a very nice chat with my friend GPT.
That’s quite a high bar. Can you give a Windows or Mac laptop to your elderly neighbour and not also provide them support?
I realise that I am only a sample set of one and my mother and father have very different usage patterns but they are both in their late 70s. My mother has an Ubuntu laptop and my father had a Windows one. He requires a lot more support. My mum’s biggest issue is forgetting her password which is hardly the fault of the OS.
Edit: to be clear I’m not necessarily agreeing with the OP. I have no opinion on the needs of “most users”.
I really like it because in order to keep the days of the week aligning that holiday must be a special non day of the week. It would lead to conversations like. “What day of the week is it?” “It isn’t”
Really!? We’re still doing GOTOs in 2023? That should just be a for loop over the collection of tests you want to write.

2·2 年前Well I never, apparently all Helen’s sound alike to me.

2·2 年前Is that Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann (my two favourite podcast hosts ever) on it as well!?

8·2 年前How am I only just now learning that there is a Private Eye podcast!?

Europe@feddit.de•Boris Johnson tasked security force to plan a raid on a vaccine plant in the NetherlandsEnglish
3·2 年前Totally. The fact that this was released well before his appearance by his own camp smells very dead catish.

6·2 年前Anti-royal pro-colonial is a angle we don’t often see.

24·2 年前Unfortunately, for a lot of non-tech savy people, the options often boil down to this kind of shit or being part of a botnet within a few days.

Python@programming.dev•PEP: 8106 Title: Enhance logging API with PEP-0008-compliant aliases
2·2 年前Yes! I hope this is a trend that continues. I remember this being quite confusing as a new Python developer. I was convinced there was something special about these kinds of camel cased methods.

World News@lemmy.ml•"Shoot at everything": How Israeli pilots killed their own civilians
7·2 年前While I agree it is a bit of an unfortunate name the news site does appear to be a pretty reliable source. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/electronic-intifada/
Atheists aren’t exactly immune to the killing either. The Soviet Union has the elimination of organised religion as one of it’s goals. I think humans just seem to like killing other humans and differences in beliefs is a handy excuse.
Quietly byt audibly while sat in the office scowling at my computer.
Not even a mention of PyO3?

11·2 年前I think they used a slightly lossy algorithm on the title.

Programming@programming.dev•Use your database to power state machines
3·2 年前I don’t understand why the
most_recentfield is needed. Surely the most recent state can be derived from the order field and the unique constraint on it can prevent concurrency issues if the previous sequence is taken before the state change. The benefit would be that the transition history table could then be append only.
Aha! Thank you. So there isn’t a band called polite skeletons?

5·2 年前The integrations with other services are implemented in plugins which are separate programs, that are installed separately, and communicate with the core over RPC. I would imagine these plugins can continue to be licensed however their owners choose. I think this license change just applies to core.










I love how excited the “IT WORKS” post sounds. I definitely know that feeling.
