Thanks for the info. Interesting.
Also worth mentioning, Ubuntu 23.10 already ships with .NET 8.
Do note that .NET 8 also introduces a couple of features to WPF:
Does this mean that WPF is not dead?
Even then, you’ll still want to have in mind instances known for spam, bots, or shady content have been blocked.
Is there a list tracking these instances?
I have two accounts,
The last post to !opensource@programming.dev was 6 days ago.
During the past week, the community received two posts. Only two.
In the past two weeks, it received 8 posts.
Again, if you care about content, all you need to do is post content. Please don't ruin everyone's experience by deploying spambots that add no value at all. Be smart about where to invest some effort.
Well, do you think its relevant to support anything else other than Git nowadays?
Yes. There are people who prefer Mercurial than Git, and there are quite a lot of projects out there which still use Subversion.
I really don't understand the mindset that leads to a belief that a monoculture is good or desirable.
Allura might do a bit more on that (...)
Yes, it does.
(...) but Gitea has way more features and the UI is actually decent.
That's debatable, but to each its own.
Perhaps this could shine some light on the "do you think it's relevant to suport anything else other than ".
Gitea is so much better than this.
Is it, though?
Also, Apache Allura supports revision control services other than Git, which apparently Gitea does not.
MIT licensed as well.
Why do you think that is relevant, specially given Apache Allura is released under the Apache license?
Here are some possibly related communities in the instance:
Instead of deploying annoying bots, if you care about traffic then you should post some discussions from now and then.
@Ategon , !opensource@programming.dev is basically dead and you haven't posted a single message there. If you care about content, shouldn't your effort be focused on creating posts instead of deploying annoying bots?
If I wanted to use SQL for cache, I’d rather choose the memory engine of MySQL.
Why would you onboard an entirely separate service if you're already using PostgreSQL ?
Should be titled, “demotivating a programmer with a specific personality type.”
The author talks about developers who are underpaid, aren't recognized by their work, and aren't even supported adequately with decent gear. This doesn't read like a list of developer traits. This reads like glorifying exploitation and terrible work conditions.
It's an interesting little gotcha, but I wonder if it wouldn't be preferable to just implement a type trait like
is_expensive_conversionthat isfalseby default andtruefor specific cases, and juststatic_assertthis stuff.Relying on obscure implicit type conversion mechanics for this feature feels like being too clever for your own good.
