"Our policy at work - are we wrong, though?"

@yashasolutions cool! Yeah, the ecosystem is where the gold is. The syntax is okay, if you have more taste than I have for semantic whitespace. And it's great to see principle-driven languages that follow some philosophy, rather than rush (eg JavaScript) or committee (eg PHP). Python's emphasis on TOOWTDI and "readability", whether you feel those philosophies are right or not, put it miles ahead of misguided languages.

I've been trying to judge if I can replace my household's several usba-usbc phone chargers with straight usbc. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/115251-how-usb-charging-works-or-how-to-avoid-blowing-up-your-smartphone
Looks like the actual cable is what matters, weirdly
@brainblasted good do you even get started with that?
@Pat @ulema Crux is an excellent Datalog DB with excellent Postgres support. https://www.opencrux.com/articles/what-is-crux.html
@ulema that's right. ClojureScript-powered React on the front, JVM Clojure on the back, with either Postgres SQL or Crux Datalog for the databases
@ulema Clojure stack (including React on FE), and a bit of WordPress

#firefox doesn't need to be remotely as big as Chrome or as IE was before Chrome... It just needs to be big enough to matter in privacy and open standards and to keep the other browser makers honest.
But this is a troubling loss of the only mainstream browser not owned by a major advertiser or tech giant.
The internet is a much better place if Firefox can claw its way back to 10-15 percent market share.
It's now hovering at around 8 percent with Chrome at 70+%....

@publicvoit so it means "read, replied, filed"? I assume it doesn't mean "deleted and gone from searches"
@publicvoit how many inboxes are you zeroing, and is this different than marking things read?
@yogthos@mastodon.social those companies are precisely what I DON'T want my government like

@publicvoit inbox zero. I think of that like unicorns, and flat earth. It's not really a thing... I have too many inboxes and too much outbox flow

Watching funny YouTube videos is bad for efficiency, but it can boost creativity.
Our new research, 5 years late: if you're intrinsically motivated, a little procrastination can help you reframe the problem and access new solutions.
Your first idea isn't always your best idea.

This Spanish city has been car-free for 19 years. 12k people have moved into the city centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF@twitter.com:
