What happened to it!? It’s a new technology in the early stages of adoption. A little patience…

Jesus, the bar for humour is low these days…

This is really interesting, appreciate your taking the time to share, thanks 👍 Now I have a fresh experiment for all those ESP32’s in my drawers 😁

Wonder how much solar power it would take to run one of these nodes, it’s be fun to guerrilla a few across town to create a bit of uh…civic infrastructure.

I’m playing my part… Undoing a large part of a SaaS platform I’ve been building, to detangle it from AWS and reimplement for Scaleway/UpCloud. This is a significant practical setback for me, but I can no longer live with myself giving dollars to both Bezos AND a fascist regime every month. Not to mention the direct risk of the US fucking with my business down the track for any old batshit reason. Account closed.

Savage 😉

As AI and other forms of automation become more prevalent in our lives it has become urgent to teach kids about different forms of programming/AI/ML and their characteristics. The current situation is a shit show: too many people think ‘ChatGPT’ is merely plugged into everything and it’s just not like that.

AFAIK it’s an excellent language let down by political in-fighting in the ecosystem and subsequent fragmentation of is otherwise ‘standard’ libraries. IMO this kills the language.

Kotlin offers most of what Scala does with a much more solid and supportive ecosystem, it’s the obvious winner in the ecological niche of ‘better JVM languages’, for me.

Funny; I joined Lemmy today in hopes of a slightly higher standard of discourse than the last platform. But, I have to admit, that’s very accurate… well done.

Even in current circumstances; your average Joe could perhaps pass the suggestion off as some kind of sardonic humour… but actually being the US Ambassador to Iceland and saying it? That’s either a brain-dead lack of self-awareness, a thinly veiled ‘flex’ to your Republican peers or, of course, both.
