No, covid did not teach me that online conferences are just not working. It taught me that 2/3rds of all conferences could be fully online (though one still needs to think about best structure for them and not just transplant them without any adaptation) - and the remaining third needs to focus even more on interaction (unconferences, small workshops, hackatons...) and not the usual talks.
I regret not bringing my computer on this trip cause this would be the perfect time for a dwarf fortress binge

Ok. #IT nerds of the fediverse. Let's do a thought experiment. It's Monday morning, the boss comes in. We need to move all out stuff off US clouds onto our own hardware. He's bought us a small data centre (or larger server room). It's empty, just a raised floor, a power panel on the wall, Aircon, and two MAN generators outside. He wants you to buy everything to make this facility work. The catch. It has to all come from European companies. Everything.
What do you buy from who?

@da_667 Are you playing xcom through steam? It may still work if you copy stuff over. Proton has been great in my experience. Also if you plan to do heavy gaming thd bazzite kernel might be useful on top of whatever else you choose. Optimized for it + steam.
"front end" code is so much more complex than "back end" when you have to juggle dozens of little bits of state all over the place.
@Kiloku It's so frustrating that people with foolish assumptions are being given so much money and zero accountability.

this is not a joke. behold the power of mastofuse, a file system mastodon client: https://gist.github.com/halcy/b4f455ef05c4c36906107e9367b8dd63
AI web crawlers are a menace.

Literally no reason they can't just make their scraping a bit less evil to avoid this. Just add some cache logic and respect robots.txt 🤷
@xeiaso.net Been following them for a few years actually :O
I'm more of a software necromancer than a computer scientist tbh

You know this 3 hour lomg shrek "fan theory" video is full of shit because he calls the dronkeys "donkagons" in addition to making huge leaps of faith in assumptions. 😵

It’s cool how all of YouTube is funded by lying about the security of public WiFi
Buhhhh I hate being sick. I don't want to rot in bed, I want to code 😍
Here's my presentation where I explored #tensorflow to make a neural network spatial curve based on an autoencoder.
