Randall Monroe has provided me with weekly nibbles of entertainment for nearly 2 decades. But this was inspired by his style, not created by him.

I bet this is directly related to ChatGPT

Disinvestment into Python, Flutter, and Dart is a clear signal that those tools are unimportant to Google. I won't be recommending that anyone use Dart or Flutter on new projects.

You want to talk about it?

Looks like a long term contributor is forking the projects

Congratulations! What did you build?

Ente is a beautiful, private cloud for your memories, with apps for mobile, desktop and web.

At Ente, we use Local AI to deliver features like face recognition and magic search, while respecting the privacy of your photos.

We'll now join a cohort of builders pushing technology forward for an AI that is light, private and accessible.

I’m just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.

"All punctuation will be considered but avoided where possible because street names and addresses, when stored in databases, must meet the standards set out in BS7666.

"This restricts the use of punctuation marks and special characters (e.g. apostrophes, hyphens and ampersands) to avoid potential problems when searching the databases as these characters have specific meanings in computer systems."

This seems like a dumb line of reasoning. The problem has never been the signs or punctuation in a database. It's that the people in charge don't even know what BS7666 even says.

I also did not create this.

Everyone can save time and just read your synopsis. These are billionaires backed by huge investment funds fighting over service fees.

I try to be positive here on programming.dev but someone gave you an incredibly thoughtful reply and you returned the favor with absolute disrespect. I think the only positive outcome here would be for me to simply block you and encourage others to do the same.

LLMs amplify biases by design, so this tracks.

FYI the person with enough money to donate $300,000 to a programming language foundation is the founder of HashiCorp.

Check out Linux Upskill Challenge there's a community on programming.dev [relative link]

It's a bit askew from what you're asking about but very related and a nice onramp to certification options that have some value in the job market.

As a more direct answer, a bit more of a formal approach to learning networking can be persued by following the networking recommendations at Teach Yourself CS

Entirely depends on the project you want to build

Copyright was due for an overhaul globally for decades. Now the system is on the verge of breaking down.

Python is in essence the interface for AI tools that are optimized with languages that are easier to get high performance results with.

It's an original work in the style of XKCD

This isn't a software thing. This is people filtering for suckers. They want to find other people to do their work but they want to keep the value created from that work.

The claims and conclusions of this article are merely asserted rather than suported with evidence. (This is true of most of the articles I've seen claiming the opposite as well.)

It sounds like you're describing a normal mentoring relationship.

This is a teaser for the promised future posts. Don't ghost us.

Or it leads the way in producing the most useless, misleading bullshit more efficiently. We'll see.

Go ahead and get started with Godot. Stop researching and asking questions about how to start. Don't delay. There are a lot of beginner Godot resources, pick one and get started.

1.5 million is almost entirely Mastodon users which have no clue how Lemmy's commenting culture works so rarely contribute in a way that makes sense to both the Mastodon commenter and the Lemmy comenter/poster at the same time.

Lemmy has ~20k ish actively commenting accounts.

The only mistake I see is attributing the work to XKCD.

This feels like gossip and I wish that Lemmy would let me mark this post as hidden.

Building from source it the opposite of hacky. It's the recommended way to deal with things like this where you are concerned about trust and security. I understand that it's not something you've done before, but it not as complicated as it sounds. There are many tutorials on how to build programs from source.

I understand that providing official packages for fedora/rhel, Ubuntu/debian, and arch-based distro packages along with a flatpack and Appimage would make a lot of sense, but for whatever reason, signal has decided not to. Perhaps you can message the signal team to ask why they choose not to do this.

It's a shame that he didn't do a writeup on this. It's nice to have a video to demo the workflow, but it's really annoying to go back to the video to get details to try it yourself.

The same ones that were blindly copying and pasting from StackOverflow previously found a more convenient way to make their code "work".

The first Advent of Code was in 2015 and the puzzles can still be accessed.

I'm just realizing that I was thinking of Pijul

But this is the year of the Linux desktop

A secure enclave can already be accessed by the time someone can access the Signal encryption keys , so there's no extra security in putting the encryption keys in the secure enclave.

Using and financially contributing to Codberg seems like a good next step to take. Doubt they will though.

I like the ethos behind Purism, I was worried they wouldn't be profitable at all. I hope this is enough profitablity to attract greater investment to grow and create economies of scale and lower the retail price and reduce lead times to be in line with the rest of the market.
