PSA: Stop calling these: () brackets!

These () are parentheses

These [] are brackets

These {} are curly braces

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

That feeling when you've finished the first full draft of something, and really want to share it with everyone to get feedback, but you know better and choose to start editing it so that the first published version is much better than what your brain barfed out.

The podcast series that #RustLang has been missing:

Rust in Production - by corrode, hosted by Matthias Endler (@mre)

corrode.dev/podcast/

"Rust is renowned for its exceptional safety and speed, but the real-world stories of companies using it in production often remain untold.

#Rust in Production brings those stories to light, focusing on the challenges these companies tackle with Rust as they solve some of the most complex technical problems in the world."

Thank you @mre ❤️

Proposal: can we please start talking about Meta!Threads instead of just threads, to prevent them from taking over the meaning of yet another common word, and one that is extremely useful when talking fediverse things?

@mjgardner @vampiress @rjbs Did that too, for my first three years, but giving the code to my cousin for entering, because we had no computers available at school.

Hoewel een kwart van de kiezers me het niet in dank zal afnemen weiger ik een "gewone" Nederlander te worden. Ik weiger iemand uit te sluiten om afkomst of geloof, geslacht of sexuele voorkeur. Ik weiger om alleen maar mijn eigenbelang te laten prevaleren. Ik weiger om de klimaatramp pas iets te laten zijn voor de volgende generaties. Hoewel een toot als deze mjj in de toekomst problemen kan geven weiger ik mijn mond te houden.
En ik zou zo graag weigeren dat de racisten gaan regeren

One of these traffic modes is seen as a radical lifestyle. The other one is considered as total freedom.

@federico3 A patch based #DVCS like #pijul might be more amenable to having a grouping structure introduced on top of its patch collection. In #darcs you could model the group as a change with only dependencies on its actual patches, but I don't think such a thing is available on #pijul yet.

I would love to have hierarchical commits or commit "groups" in a DVCS like #git
Branches, tags, pull requests don't cut it because once merged in mainline the structure is lost.

scrapping the term '15 minute cities' and exclusively referring to them as 'cities where you can just walk to the post office and then pick up your prescription and maybe stop and get a little treat on your way home" because some of you caught brain worms on Facebook
