@travismitchell as well as schools.
People drive in, spend some time, got serviced and drive away.
@joelmartinez I doubt the protocol.
Let's do a mental experiment. Let's say that we have thousands of servers and people started to follow each other actively.
It ends up that your local server which you planned to be small and neat just for 10 users now has to be a big Kraken who can carry the load.
And instead of one monolithic twitter we've got a need to maintain a thousand half-twitters.
In case if the users don't follow each other, then that's some not-connected islands.
@joelmartinez Sorry If I got this wrong.
I just don't believe in mastodon in sense of "robust"

Helly fosstodon from the #rstats package rtoot. Just trying out if I can post with an image and alt text :)
@mhentges thank you. Enjoy ing it already.
@joelmartinez what if the admin of your mastodon server switches off the server for forever. Since he can.
What is your plan B on this?
I am asking because almost every crypto that you are laughing on doesn't allow this action.
@justincroser@social.linux.pizza @musicmatze for unprepared like me they look just terrible
@brianokken seems natural for some people and almost impossible for others
In many cases it defines success in my humble opinion.
@colingorrie Naïve question but really curious. Why do people need old English?
@ajsadauskas @molly0xfff as a coder i can vary loc for the task with 1000x difference
Why webassembly is a big thing?
Isn't js just compile with JIT ?

@engelbart I found the book Zero to Production in Rust (https://www.zero2prod.com/) a great 2nd step once I finished the Rust book. You get to build something - and get help along the way! #rust #zerotoprod

I hadn't considered how some of the semantics of Rust would make writing a good linked list library harder than usual. I'm also surprised there isn't one in the standard library. This post had a good coverage of the topic, from this non Rustian's perspective anyway. #rustlang #programming #rust diziet.dreamwidth.org/13476.ht…
@jmac_ai there is nothing bad with python for AI
Just finished reading the first book about #rust .
Perhaps I need to implement something to memorize.
I've got an idea
I am a pretty slow, normal human being, nothing like a 10x young genius.
But I have almost 20 years of IT experience and some common knowledge of related things.
I'm thinking of streaming my attempt of implementing a service on a new for me language with the idea that there is nothing to be afraid of.
I will google something, copy paste, stuck with errors and think that I am hopeless for one minute and that I am a genius for another.
In other words it will be like "an usual Monday of a software engineer".
But may be the fact that eventually I overcome all these challenges will encourage someone not to be afraid.
What do you think? Stupid enough?

@travismitchell @pluralistic what about carwash? Shouldn't they have their own server as well?
Just watched "all the quiet on the western front".
Well, I liked it.
And I liked even more what they didn't show exactly but made us understand.
