Wikipedia states: “In July 2023, communication with Voyager 2 was lost when flight control pointed its antenna away from Earth, moving it by 2 degrees away from Earth. The NASA dish antenna in Canberra is being used to search for the space probe and will be used to saturate its location with commands to re-align the probe’s antenna in an attempt to re-establish the radio link. If NASA fails to contact the probe, it is expected that an automatic system on Voyager 2 will direct its dish toward Earth in October 2023.”
So essentially someone probably wanted to move it one way and it moved the other. It should automatically reposition itself in contact with NASA in 2 months. It’s amazing the foresight we had in 1977 to write in all sorts of catch-alls… In 2 months we’ll get back in contact with the probe and it will have its own place, hanging out with aliens.
Who cares? Nobody outside of twitter needs to know if Twitter is growing or shrinking or rebranding or changing or turning into a subscription or anything else. Investor maybe but I hope they have a more reliable source than Elon…
Post screenshot of tweets with relevant content, that’s okay but stop wasting our time with nonsense about Twitter itself.
Somehow we all figured out how to stop talking about Facebook… Let’s just do the same with Twitter.
I never understood Twitter and I never want to. It’s like that tube machine at the bank. People bundle up a little sentence then shoot it out into the Twittashphere. Why? I’m with you, screenshot something interesting and leave the rest in the dumpster fire where it belongs

I’m sure that’s the case, but the meme is not making fun of typescript, its making fun of his dad: JavaScript, maybe for not comparing to his son: typescript
You’re right about python being the same. Python doesn’t have a mature alternative to Typescript that launches it into having best-in-class type handling.
There’s so much that my C# devs can’t do with its horrible type system that Typescript “just does better”. At compile-time at least.
I used to work on a hybrid typescript/python product (some services js, some TS, some python), and the TS stuff was just faster-running, easier to iterate, and better. And story-point allocations consistently showed that for an excess of 20 devs working on those codebases.
As for pip/easy_install vs npm/yarn/pnpm… I’m curious what you think pip does well that yarn/npm doesn’t? I’ll say in my work experience there’s more/better enterprise private repository/cache support for node modules than for python modules. Using npm security databases alongside “known good versioning” allows a team of even 100 developers to safely add libraries to projects with no fear of falling out of corporate compliance regulations. I’ve never seen that implemented with pip
How so? The companies I worked for were using venv’s but nothing that could help with standards.
Using a private npm repo, I can actually do aninstall of a library I want to use and it’ll refuse to install if that library isn’t already approved for use by the organization, and if it is/does, it will install only the approved version. Further, I still don’t have any of the libraries installed I don’t want (even secure-seeming unnecessary code is a potential risk and unnecessary). The last 2 places I worked that used python used venv’s, but the pip requirements.txt file was still fairly hard to keep regulated.
So let’s say I want to add a library not currently being used in this project, but that might have been approved for another project in another repo? How does pip freeze solve that problem? Do python users endorse a “every single python app in the entire org should use the same requirements.txt” mindset? Or what am I missing?
Are you sure your knowledge of Python’s package management isn’t out of date? easy_install has been deprecated for years. There are a few mechanisms that the Python community now has for dependency management and installation. My favorite solution is Poetry, which like npm maintains a separate dependency (pyproject.toml) and lock (poetry.lock) file.
I didn’t think anyone was using easy_install anymore, but I still see it in docs for stuff.
Poetry looks interesting, but does it support private-only dependencies, where the system will reject a library or version if it has not been previously approved and cached?
Afaik JavaScript only runs in a browser. If you want to make a desktop app your only option is something like electron.
For example, you can’t make the equivalent of a bash script with JS, but it’s trivial with python. I don’t think you can do system calls at all with JS.
OSMAnd has literally saved my life when my Garmin died and my hiking buddy’s phone also died and I remembered I had saved off-line maps for the state we were in and could traveling-salesman our way out of the mountains safely.
That’s its strength and its weakness imo; the UI is not as clear as the Organic Maps’, and it feels relatively cluttered.
Also, Organic is both gratis and libre, while OsmAnd is subscription based on iOS. It is a one time purchase on Android though, but that still means the full app isn’t gratis.
I don’t mind paying for an app, but fuck subscriptions. It’s dirt cheap and all, but I still won’t pay for it.
I’ll have a look at Organic though, that sounds right up my alley. If it’s open source, I can even have a look at raising a PR or two to pay them back.
Organic Maps is indeed open source and available through f-droid/GitHub/Telegram.
It’s actively developed and it’s UI is more easier to use than OSMAnd. The search accuracy is also way better than in OSMAnd, in which I often can’t find places.
Yup, and when Beehaw defederated lemmy.world, I created an account on lemmy.world even if there is some craziness here it looks like good and funny crazyness 🤪
Oh fucking great. My daughter’s online school requires her to run “Windows 8 or greater,” but we got her a used laptop that can run 10 to make sure it can keep up with security updates. I don’t even know if it is powerful enough to run 11 because I didn’t even consider the possibility when I bought it. Now we’re going to have to buy a new one in a couple of years?
Most laptops that ship with windows 10 are capable of running 11. I recommend finding out if the schools provides a license. When I was attending Phoenix online a couple years ago they supplied me with a windows 10 education license through Microsoft.
I think it’s more to do with that if the collective workers vote to become a union or not, and succeeds in that vote, then the owner/company must recognize them as the union and engage in negotiations as such.
If the vote of the workers fails to choose to unionize…well usually that means the people who tried to organize it get fired because there’s no union
Note that this meme is a reference to that one Firefox user, and Firefox doesn’t let the tab music thing happen, it auto-mutes background tabs (in a way where it doesn’t do it when you want background audio to play)
Firefox has to my knowledge never done this. It absolutely doesn’t do it currently. And like chrome it provides an icon on tabs playing sound so you can easily mute it with one click.
I think they meant that it doesn’t start playing until you select the tab. If a video tries to start playing in a background tab, Firefox won’t let it, but it won’t stop videos that are already playing
