@JMarkOckerbloom 😬

@Alice the correct response would be, "and that coffee table is absolutely miniscule!"

@Gargron Glad I never gave them a dime.

@cstross @malwarejake @chetwisniewski I especially detest the apps that nag me for a review *as part of the initial installation*, before I have ever used the app!

Free PSA for App Developers:
If you ask me for a review of your app, before I have exited the App Store during the installation process; you WILL get a One Star review. 😡😡😡
Your app may very well be the best app in the history of apps, but that kind of desperate begging for a rating and review; will absolutely backfire on you.

@yetiinabox Sounds like you know more about this than I do, so thank you for providing more context. If you want to point me towards more reliable public-facing discussion on this, I'll share that too.

However, I'm not not inclined to do a literature review on Google scholar every time I see a neat news article, and even if I were, I'm not a soil biologist, so I wouldn't be qualified to evaluate the original research I found. I'm afraid you'll have to keep on posting your own correctives.

In case anyone forgot Holly Hunter is Disney Princess/Queen

@Jaimieserotica Have a lovely evening!

"If you have a team that is all pissed off and hates each other, they’re going to write terrible code. I don’t care how talented they are, if they’re mad at each other, pissed off, unhappy, it’s just going to be bad. That was the key insight of Code Complete for me: programming is the art of dealing with people. You think of programming as the art of dealing with the computer, but the computer is pretty much this dumb, dumb machine. It’s easy to deal with the computer. For the most part, what’s difficult is dealing with other people, your team, your manager, your project, and the people who pay you money for the project. That’s the really difficult part and that’s the part that the book really delves into. It does talk about code, but it spends a lot of time talking about personal character and the emotions of the people on your team and how to have a sustainable project that’s not breaking the people working on it. I still love those topics. Those are timeless topics, and that’s why it’s such a great book. That’s why it doesn’t ever really get out of date, because people aren’t going to change for the next ten thousand years, not in that way. In a hundred years we’ll be using radically different tooling, but people will still be pissed off at each other. I’ll tell you that with one hundred percent certainty." excerpt from my section of https://wfsd.com/

Interessanter Trend, den @netzbegruenung hier dokumentiert.

💬 "Die Annahme, X sei weiterhin unangefochtener Marktführer bei den Kurznachrichtendiensten in Deutschland, ist überholt. Einen messbaren Bluesky-Hype gibt es in den aktuellen Zahlen weder global noch in Bezug auf Deutschland. Mastodon ist stattdessen der klare Outperformer in Deutschland."

@hopeless please read up on how training a model works and why feeding it its outputs degrades it. You can't train a model only on old data unless you want it frozen in time, incapable of using more recent APIs, syntax or programming paradigms. And users are very much aware of when the model degrades because they see the results worsening.

No, not you too 😭

@scott Thanks! I will listen to it today.

Holy moly only a few more days till the start of #AudioMo We will be on #Mastodon and BlueSky again this year.

@cwebber My grandmother had a couple of chestnut trees on her yard, she would roast them and they were, as you have discovered, quite tasty. Unfortunately the trees both succumbed to the Chestnut blight that killed off others.

@calinpristavu yep. My brain my rules. :P
