@GeePawHill Yep. It’s that joy that I love about engineering in general. Which is why I don’t subscribe to the current fad of using random text generators. Altman can pry that joy from my cold, dead fingers.
@thirstybear Indeed. I keep re-posting it:

Of course we make more toys than just Sky Pirates, we've got little monsters, we've got space adventurers, we've got video games.

Until now, I haven’t been able to raise any money for my child Ahmad’s treatment 💔
I watch him fade and suffer every day before my eyes, and I am completely helpless.
I am exhausted… my heart is broken and I have lost hope.
Please, don’t let my child die slowly — we need you 🙏😭

The COBOL was never the hard part.
In fact, COBOL is one of the easiest languages to understand. That’s why it was created!

On the second episode, we had a great time chatting with @JustMeDevin about his journey, from starting building Crouton in his free time, to going on and winning an Apple Design Award in 2024 and getting acquired shortly thereafter 🎉
Le billet de Savinien de Rivet (Libération)
Les poids lourds sont un danger pour les cyclistes, il est temps que les pouvoirs publics réagissent
A Paris, le centre-ville s’est largement apaisé, mais cyclistes et piétons sont régulièrement mis en danger par le comportement des conducteurs de poids lourds – comme le montre la mort d’une cycliste, jeudi 19 février. Il existe pourtant des solutions.

Ces cinq derniers mois à Paris, quatre cyclistes sont morts percutés par des poids lourds. Dernière victime en date, une femme de 29 ans, décédée jeudi 19 février. Depuis 2005, 74 personnes sont mortes à vélo du fait de véhicules motorisés, 47 hommes et 27 femmes. Ces dernières ont presque toutes (24 sur 27) été tuées par des poids lourds, contre seulement 17 hommes sur 47. Presque à chaque fois, c’est le même scénario : un chauffeur de camion tourne à droite sans regarder et percute sa victime.

which is why there is no hoarding of all the computers and RAM for data centers that don’t even exist. what we are witnessing is a mafia-type collusion to remove from commercial circulation all the computational power people need to continue about their daily digital lives without paying rents to IP-thieving techbro clouds.
THERE IS NO RAM SHORTAGE.
THERE IS A BIG TECH COLLUSION TO CREATE A PC TECH SHORTAGE
memory is just the beginning. techbros are out to kill the PC market
Instead of watching Trump lie and ramble for hours tonight, you should watch, listen, or read the latest Theory of Change episode in which Jeet Heer and I discuss how tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are literally basing their politics on sci-fi novels.
This is the most comprehensive deep-dive I have seen on the subject. I had a lot of fund with it, and I think you will as well: https://plus.flux.community/p/why-big-tech-billionaires-are-trying
@tomshardware As a retired, 15-year COBOL programmer for a Canadian bank, I can virtually guarantee any use of AI to modify existing COBOL code in any significant way will lead to disastrous results. Online COBOL code (as opposed to batch or offline code that runs overnight and produces reports) is especially brittle and easily broken when handled by an “answer-guessing bot.”
I remember when I was learning #COBOL, back on the earthen floor in the monastery school for orphans. The old monk said "COBOL was designed so EXECUTIVES could read code".
Since AI passed a corpo executive in capability in 1874 , I think we will be all right ! 😁

Thrilled to announce that I'll be leading @lfeurope going forward, in addition to continuing as General Manager for @OpenInfra !
It's a great time for open source in Europe and I'm excited about the opportunity to make sure we Europeans efficiently leverage the open source global commons.
My child Ahmad is suffering terribly from the virus and severe infections in his body 💔 Every moment he cries in pain breaks my heart, and I cannot do anything to ease it. So far, we haven’t been able to raise £370 for his urgent treatment, and every passing minute could be more dangerous for him. Any donation, even small, could save his life and give him a chance to survive 🙏😭

@aral
Sweet Mastodon folks, @nau_tilus and I are trying to figure out how to have online MIDI sessions/jams. @manetta at @xpub suggested we'd look into Websockets or WebRTC.
Are there any sound artists, webdesigners or experimental bleepbloopers out there who can help us find the right direction?
Let’s face it: You were put on this earth to shake what your mama gave you, but instead, you’re staring at a spreadsheet, wondering how many more years until retirement.
We understand your pain and distilled it into this glittering, holographic sticker that’s equal parts tragic and iconic.

Ukrainians have now lived with four years of war. They have lost limbs, loved ones, livelihoods and homes, but not hope. Here are some of their stories. All posed with photos taken before Russia’s full-scale invasion changed their lives.
NEW EPISODE: We talked with planner Brent Toderian about how to build livable downtowns, what Vancouver does right, why developers should welcome regulation, and his brand-new venture to combat misinformation about cities, the Urban Truth Collective.
Available wherever you listen to podcasts.
1462 days of struggle.
4 years that changed us and the world.
Don't get used to war. Support Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Another one from Saturday that I am resurrecting from the graveyard of discarded photos. 😂
My guy here was zooming down the street and the little kid was giggling at all the movement 😭✨
