I can't quite believe that we're now announcing the eighth Programming Language Implementation Summer School (PLISS), but we are --- in May next year, if you want to learn more about programming language implementations, this is the place to come!
There'll be more speakers and talks being added in the coming weeks, but we've got a cracking schedule already --- so come and join us! https://pliss.org/2026/
Humanity has talked about aliens throughout recorded history, and obsession that has changed science, faith, and media.
After my talk at 
@gnome Asia Summit, I’ve published the source code of Jollpi, a Python-based text editor I’m rewriting with a modern stack.
Built with Python 3, 
@GTK 4 and GtkSourceView 5, using a modern async architecture and standard Python packaging (pyproject.toml, pip).
It installs cleanly and integrates like a regular Linux desktop app.
Feel free to try it and share feedback.

it's december the 18th. are you trying to get one last thing in at work, but you just need someone else to give it a little signoff or review?
consider instead: the joys of puttering about in your little corner of things on something no one else thinks about at all. taking a long walk at lunchtime. looking at the fat little winter birds flitting about in the bare branches outside your window and requiring no one else at all to assemble a mental model of anything.

@u-s-newyorktimesU.S.
so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, which is at least a great improvement.
I'm still about 2000$ away from paying all my storage bills, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!
In the official Visual Studio Code on my Windows desktop, there is a pane titled "Live Share" that enables a useful code collaboration feature. In VS Codium on my Linux machine this pane is absent. I understand VS Codium to be just VS Code with some of the extensions missing. Can I install an extension to get Live Share on VS Codium? Searching "live share" in the extensions mraketplace turns up several things but not the Microsoft "Live Share" plugin present in the official VS Code.

No shade on Zensical here, I bet it’ll be great one day, but please don’t use MkDocs for your public projects. Please.

@Em0nM4stodonEm Not many people know this, but John Mastodon was the fifth person to ever go into space 🌌
That's why today he has no interest in spending his media wealth on space exploration but rather spends his space exploration wealth on a fair and ethical form of social media. 📱

Back in 1991 on #JohnMastodonDay our hero #JohnMastodon invented mobile messaging. He sent Nokia a text about it and asked them to take the credit because he's so humble.
