the software industry is heading for this, because governments will not tolerate everything being fucked forever. they will overreact and programming will become a licensed industry that i couldn't break into by pissing about as a teenager

what we're increasingly seeing in aviation is that mistakes do not cause disasters so much in isolation - multiple things have to go wrong because the system is designed to recover.

they even standardise the way pilots speak to air traffic control because they found people were misunderstanding each other and causing accidents.
e.g. the words 'clear' and 'clearance' are only to be used for takeoff and landing, you do not get 'clearance' to taxi.

what amazes me is how seriously the aviation industry takes disasters. like they spend a year or two figuring out what actually happened and trying to stop it happening again.
i would organisations to just take two weeks when they have a massive problem caused by their code.

If you’d like to use the new Glitch Edition authoring modes, do this:
- Click App settings to pull up the Glitch settings modal.
- Click Compose box.
- Select the Show content-type choice when authoring toots option.
After you do that, you'll see a new icon in the compose box (it'll look like a generic document icon). Click that and you'll be able to choose between plain text, Markdown, and HTML.

Click through the pages of closed pull requests for Flask. It's not until page 9 (end of 2024) that you see a majority are merged instead of closed. Only 38 of the last 200 PRs are merged. Similar story for Werkzeug, Jinja, and Click. LLMs and genAI are such an obvious negative on maintainer time. https://github.com/pallets/flask/pulls?page=9&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed

While I have you, you should attend #NBPy for all the reasons people talk about in the hashtag, but also because it's where you get to see what the community will be talking about for the next two years before anyone else.
If you want to see the most-talked-about PyCon talks before they happen, go to North Bay.

Our switch to Mastodon Glitch Edition is complete! Overall it went pretty smoothly except for all of the parts where Git kicked my butt (repeatedly, and painfully).
If you’re looking to return to the prior look and feel in the web UI, click Preferences, then Flavours, then Vanilla Mastodon, and finally click the "Use this" button. On that same page you can also set your "skin" to Tangerine UI if you'd like. I'll restore the other themes as skins very soon, and will try to add some others as well.

Updates begin now! Total downtime should be minimal, but there may be a few (briefer) periods of instability or inaccessibility at various points. Feel free to keep an eye on https://status.neatnik.net in case anything goes majorly sideways!

Donald Trump has said Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, should focus on “fixing his broken country” and trying to end the Russia-Ukraine war – and spend less time “interfering” in Iran.
That's funny because in the US a majority of the population would like Trump to do that too!

How do we stop destroying people, ideas, tools, and ecosystems by misdiagnosing dormancy as failure?
Can we build tools, spaces, interfaces, systems, and experiments that revive latent capacity?
First create the conditions where life can move. Then train, test, refine, build, and strengthen.
Mastodon Feedalso whatever changed here really highlights that I don't understand how the Blender Foundation is structured, given that people are okay with CoreWeave (?!) and Meta being in this club, but Anthropic is a bridge too far, but they're still keeping the _money_ from Anthropic? Or maybe it has something to do with the "Corporate Patron" level specifically? Anyway… general point still somewhat valid, but yelling at Blender was apparently a good idea and did achieve something

you know that feeling when you're talking with someone in a language you don't know all the words in and you're using translate and you realise you've no idea if it's given you something correct or not?
that must be what vibe coding is like for people who can't code.

okay so I stand by what I said about harassment and *in general* engaging with foundations and nonprofits, but I gotta publicly take an L here on the *implication* that the community's feedback was too intense, because apparently they received that feedback and acted upon it https://www.blender.org/news/upcoming-blender-development-fund-and-ai-policies/
