I really loathe when people say blanket statements like "Learning from X is not effective"
People learn differently. Saying "Learning from books is not effective" may be true for you, but not for someone else
I don't learn well from video content
I learn great from exercises and small tests and yes, books
You *should* learn what your individual team members styles are and enable them to have resources that work for them
Yep; just verified. Weeks of annoying error message (actually probably years, but I didn't have a viewport on the output) and it was all ended with a `exit 0`
I have some scripts still in bash rather than #babashka because all they are doing is calling other programs. But the one that is in my #guix #mcron was apparently suffering for lack of controlled #ExitStatus. Oi, Bash, I never knew thee.

Code only says what it does:
@mhoye Ah! That clarifies things. But aren't things like AWS filling a real need?
@mhoye I've never come into contact with computer rental. I guess my university rents chromebooks and some laptops; is that it?
@clojurediary I hadn't made it so far as to see any icon at all. I just read the word "printing things". Thanks for the response!
@clojurediary Still on my to read list. Just realized I'm not sure -- I assumed he meant printing things on paper, but he might mean Hello World"
@freemo I might have my wires crossed, then
@amarok !!! What leads you to think it better than JS? (not a JS lover here, but historically I hate it less than old PHP)
@chaos0815 We were too late to take it back. It died under our fingertips.
@Crell I did a bit of Docker and liked it, before we were able to consolidate to the #JVM. Now JVM is my #container (since I don't go deep and actually customize it besides memory specs)
@freemo I could definitely be wrong. But I thought there was a week or so when he first left Musk's instance that he was actually on QOTO

Implementing a web browser is literally impossible.
"The total word count of the W3C specification is 114 million words […]. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications."

@freemo I believe that qoto was one of the first instances he ever joined, but now is on universetodon.
Yeah, I follow him as well. But I remember what a big deal it was that he started on QOTO, and then shortly after he switched
@freemo I think that blocklist might be the same reason we lost George Takei after a brief spell
@freemo No explanation. I suspect it's a matter of just using a generic block list. I did let them know that I am in contact with the owner of QOTO and that he is very approachable. I'll give your handle if they ask. I just didn't want to seem too biased about QOTO 😉
@freemo The owner of mstdn.games, Britt, has been in touch with me and their international admin group will be looking in to it over the next few days.
@freemo I know qoto is just on some generic block lists (as per previous conversation with you), so hopefully it's trivial to remove us
