Every recent time there's been an Aurora forecast, I've been under cloud cover. Last night there was a glimmer of clear sky at the horizon, to the north fortunately. I could see nothing with my bare eyes, but photo editing brings out some colors that the camera saw.

What's the hot new #android game?

Good article with lots of quotable quotes. Here’s one:
“Lines of code, number of [pull requests], these are liabilities. These are not measures of engineering excellence.”
That’s a big “well duh” for anyone who’s been in the thick of the software engineering process for more than 15 seconds — but a whole lot of folks are about to learn this the hard way, as the article lays out.

I'm probably not the person to contribute this upstream to `pip`, but I would certainly cheer on the person who is.
Something from the webdev zeitgeist that gets me is the notion that its somehow more efficient for servers to convert their data into JSON rather than HTML.
In either case all this really involves is concatenating strings, remembering to escape them (Hopefully you're aided by a good templating language!) where needed!
Webdevs have taken to calling outputting HTML "rendering" to imply that its more complex than it really is. Come on, rendering is what the browser does!

this is also why i wouldn't describe swift's as "simple" and rust's as complex: rust basically has one primitive for privacy: pub. swift has six different access levels. it's got more stuff! but because it doesn't have hierarchy, it can feel simpler at first glance
rust's module system is "here's a few rules, they are hierarchical and recurse" swift's module system is "there is no nesting"

You can make Linux syscalls in a Windows application, apparently
What happens if you make a Linux syscall in a Windows application?
So yeah, you can make Linux syscalls from Windows programs, as long as they're running under Wine. Totally useless, but the fact that such a Frankenstein monster of a program could exist is funny to me.

TL;DR: Government use of targeted advertising raises privacy concerns as it enables warrantless tracking of individuals' locations. This revelation highlights the need for stronger regulations to protect citizens from invasive ad practices. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/19/the-government-uses-targeted-advertising-to-track-your-location-heres-what-we-need-to-do/ #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum
i hate lemmy as a software so much
swift's module system is just a whole different thing one of the things that makes this hard is that every language with "modules" means something different by them. trying to fit one language's idea into another is just gonna confuse things, imho

does that make sense?
remember the folder metaphor? we have hosting inside of front_of_house. front is not `pub`. this means that siblings can see it, but not access what's inside. so we aren't able to see hosting. making it public means that siblings of front can now see that it exists. it's the same rule, recursively

"Israel deployed #Lavender, a probabilistic classification system that assigned Palestinians a numerical rating representing their statistical likelihood of being a member of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad—drawing on the pervasive surveillance dragnet Israel has maintained for decades (cellular metadata, social network analysis, financial transaction records, behavioral patterns) to generate a score that determined whether someone should be assassinated or not."

I was made redundant a couple weeks ago. From a school I’d worked at for 15 years, They gave us 5 days notice
Fortunately, I’m a member of a union. As were all the other teachers.
Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) were with us every step of the way. They made sure it was all above board, kept our dodgy bosses in check, & even helped us negotiate an enhanced redundancy package
So if you haven’t already, join a union
Here's my cat wearing the union badge
