Darn... psycopg 3.3.1 on the way 😅
Girlguiding has announced that they will no longer be accepting trans girls and non-binary kids who were not AFAB. They have written a lot of nice-sounding words that amount to "we don't want to do this, but our hands are tied." To which I say: bullshit. As a lifelong Girl Scout and a current troop leader, I am extremely disappointed in our sisters in the UK.
As Girl Scouts and Girl Guides, we should be blazing our own trails and always, *always* advocating for girls. That includes all girls and anyone else who identifies with the girl experience. We should not be capitulating to bullies. We especially should be not obeying in advance.

does anyone else read `to_le_bytes` in their mind as „to le bytes“ (french)?
I have a December gift for you all 🎁
I am finally able to open up a general call for ADVANCE READERS for my book: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SOFTWARE TEAMS (coming 2026). I cannot tell you how much it means to me to share this!
I am able to select a handful of folks to receive a free advance copy, and I would love to ensure this group represents a broad range of perspectives and experiences.
You can indicate your interest here. And you are welcome to share this form:

#Holos is progressing nicely. The mobile app now receives all notifications from the Fediverse, follows and unfollows work properly, and you can compose posts. The menu gives access to lists, bookmarks, filters and followed tags. Display settings offer different view modes depending on what you want to browse, all from a single account. Relay server code will be available in a few days. Feel free to bother 
@holos_dev, it's there for testing.

Million dollar idea: a new telephone signaling protocol so that when I'm put on hold, it signals the music app on my local phone to play my tunes rather than whatever random junk has been badly recorded into their PBX.

i thought stranger things season 5 so far was actually very good. it’s obviously a different series to the first season, which everyone keeps harping on about. but imo it’s the first time since season 1 that the series has found its groove again. im excited to watch it go out

My gym requires a qr code only accessible with an app, which only runs if you have Google Play enabled on your device. (The store, not GPS)
I usually have Google Play disabled and up until now I could manage without apps that require Google Play, but I really need to access this gym...
What can I do? I feel like the most extreme option which is getting an ungoogled phone, would not solve this issue. I would also prefer to use this phone as long as possible.
when in doubt, post harder

Trying out a whole-class collaborative project to wrap up a grad seminar (formal math) for the first time this semester, and it's actually really fun so far and seems to be working out.
The students all contributed ideas, then we voted and went with one idea, which is nicely scoped. Today in our planning class, I used my experience as a software engineer to help the class (25 people) form teams, define an MVP, pick leaders & TPMs, and agree on initial interfaces.
Now we have four teams with dedicated purposes, each with one leader and one TPM. And we have an initial intermediate data format to help with the modularity, and plans for how to iterate.
There are two days left of class to actually hack on the project, and I am cautiously optimistic, and confident in my management abilities to help teams adapt to the unexpected, too.
Anyways, we'll see how it goes. But it's energizing.
Yeah. Thread/Thema aufreißen, ohne einen Hashtag zu verwenden. Damit niemensch sich das keinesfalls aus der TL rausfiltern kann.
So rücksichtsvoll.

my approach to software engineering is like that character from an anime, you know the one, she’s in a lot of anime
you walk into her workshop and it’s full of tools and unfinished projects randomly lying wherever there was free space, and you can tell she lives, works, and sleeps there
she’s sitting on the floor loosely cross-legged, taking apart a strange contraption of some sort, hears you come in and twists around to greet you. she’s wearing a lab coat over a skirt, either a uniform or just a random skirt paired with a random shirt, slightly messy white hair
you tell her what you need fixed and she gets a sparkle in her eyes, says “i’ve never seen one of these before!”, goes and fetches an unsettlingly large wrench (you have no clue what she’ll use it for but you know it’s the only tool she’s going to use today) and shoos you out so she can get to work. you come back a day later, it’s ready for you, and you daren’t ask any questions

ドッキング口全占有、8機同時在泊なのです
https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/2025/12/01/space-station-first-all-docking-ports-fully-occupied-8-spacecraft-on-orbit/
国際宇宙ステーション (ISS)で史上初めて8基のドッキングポートが全て埋まったのです。在席機はSpaceX Dragon×2、Cygnus XL (NG‑23)、JAXAのHTV‑X1、Soyuz MS‑27・MS‑28、Progress 92/93なのです。
Cygnus XLは2026年3月以降に最大11,000ポンドの廃棄物と共に大気圏で処分されるのです。MS‑28で到着したWilliamsら3名は2026年7月まで滞在し微小重力研究を行っているのです。再配置は関係機関が調整したぽい。
