I actually think Microsoft would probably improve GitHub.
Who of you out there love to figure out weird #Windows file permissions issues?
"Why does Git for Windows create repositories that I can't delete from a command line?"
uh hey what happened to https://dice.camp/ :(
this library called "luigi" that I'm using for pipeline / batch processing stuff apparently re-uses instances of subclasses of its Task class (by way of a metaclass that overrides __call__). it mentions this it a tiny section at the very bottom of the page on defining Tasks... and of course this code I'm using seems to have been completely unaware of this caching, so there's all kinds of mysterious mutable-data-sharing going on
god h*ck I did NOT miss programming in Python
back to the same old shared-state, action-at-a-distance, excited-to-use-runtime-features, importing-modules-changes-global-behavior, bugs-trivially-caught-by-a-static-type-system code. it takes so much more effort to write Python software that doesn't suck.
I swear that's an autocorrect error
I really need to switch off of GitHub for the project's I maintain.
Hey mastodon admins: please get some co-admins. I'm sure most people who run instances could easily find others willing to help. If you are indisposed your community shouldn't suffer!
The #rustlang developers have developed a very solid and satisfying compatibility policy. The way they're handling "editions" is so nice to see after what happened to Python. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/03/12/roadmap.html
@Gargron Hi, another friendly ping request to change the <title> setting of mastodon.social so it's more specific than just "Mastodon", so I can tell the difference between my instances in browser tabs and phone home screens :)
(Is there a different way I should file administrative issues?)
what the heck is up with the trolls on the #rustlang forum lately, geeze
it's ok you can @ me I didn't mean it
ah yes, Python, where importing a module can try to load configuration from the environment and raise an exception if you don't have a database defined
(don't @ me)
welp, today is my last unemployed day after a streak of over a year. So I'm spending it puttering around not doing anything :)
Sadly I'm not getting into professional #rustlang dev, but I am going to be working with good friends on Python code. This might mean I'll show up at PyCon this year!
actix-web 0.4 is out! I have been very happy using it in #pandt for the last couple months. https://github.com/actix/actix-web/releases/tag/v0.4.0 #rustlang
Is there an issue tracker or something for mastodon.social admin requests? I don't think that tooting @ Gargron is working
Frickin' *Samoas*, brun
@Gargron Hi! Admin request: can you please update mastodon.social's setting for the <title> tag to something that indicates the instance's name unambiguously? re: issue #6564
This is killing me
I need to find a way to swing this back

I am fucking tired of employment agreements that grant ALL intellectual property rights to the company. Most of these things prevent you from even writing a fucking novel in your free time, because it becomes the property of the company. I worked for one company, once (id Software / Zenimax) without getting an amendment to the contract, and it was NOT worth it
