Hi there, if you don’t want me to hit you, please carry this sign that says “please don’t hit me” with you always. Otherwise, I can’t possibly be held responsible if I hit you. Because it’s in my nature to hit you. I can’t live without hitting people. It’s just who I am and what I do. Thank you for your understanding in this delicate matter. Sincerely, OpenAI #ai #optOut #openAI #chatGPT #bullshit

You don't need a full-featured testing framework, or something that outputs in JUnit format, to get the value of a red-green-refactor loop. All you need is a feedback mechanism, which can be as simple as "does the exit code for this process indicate an error or success?". Kent Beck's test-commit-revert demo using python does exactly this - no importing a framework or test runner, but leaning on python's built-in `assert` keyword. https://youtu.be/Aof0F9DvTFg?t=220&si=D7afjzT2GvTEhTQn

What's your personal minimal acceptable lead time for a conference talk? If you submit a talk proposal, and it's accepted, then you'd expect to be notified of that acceptance some time prior to your talk, so you can prepare and rehearse well and sort work and travel around the conference. What's that minimum time for you? (Boosts would be nice, thanks!) [ ] 2 weeks [ ] 4 weeks [ ] 6 weeks [ ] 8 weeks or longer

This thing with #Fosstodon has to be the whitest thing I've seen on here in months, lol. Like DeepL and LibreTranslate (if you don't want to use Google) are right there. There's laziness and then there's this. That and considering mutual aid posts to be spammy? Say less. Definitely going to look into purging his links from the IndieWeb wiki or at least add a warning of Angolcentricism.
