I did the "self-answered question on Stack Overflow" thing recently; felt mixed about it: as my question was covered by the relevant documentation
But then someone commented that the docs contained a mistake, so I got to PR them
And I think something would've been lost if none of that had happened
Who's supposed to press it? The new joiner? The server owner? Anyone?
Is it a faux pas for the wrong person to press it? or to press it twice?
Is there one consistent set of rules, or does it vary between servers?
I don't think I totally understand the etiquette around Discord's "wave to say hi" button
In many respects, I think this is a shame, because I was looking forward to an excuse to rag on Microsoft
I think what's currently there (the original diagram, with a link back to the original blog post) is the best possible outcome
I think if we're talking about serving markdown pages as a light alternative to html, that definitely counts as a "choice"
I _kind of get where this is coming from_, but even ignoring the whole "jumping through hoops to satisfy AI companies" angle
Did we have to pick a format that consist of about 100 different, unstandardized variants
Ignoring the fact that this is is a misapplication of AI, and also any value judgements on GenAI as a whole:
This is literally Microsoft plagiarizing a diagram from the OG GitFlow post: nvie.com/posts/a-succ...

I always love a ProgLang logo done in the style of another different ProgLang logo
I hear you
The BBC did something like that with "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", and it was really good (but doesn't have the same punchline)
By Agatha Christie, for one
Is it bad form to spoil a book that came out over a century ago?

I'm pleased that the trans-pride-blobfish managed to sneak into the photos:
Thank you for attending last week's Scala Talks! Thanks go to Permutive for having us round for pizza, drinks and a beautiful venue. Special thanks go to our fantastic speakers Sabrina Konrad-Lee and @doscienceto.it !
See you next time!
Plagiarism means "passing someone else's work as your own": you can plagiarize something even if it's licensed in a way that allows it
This is more or less exactly the same talk that I gave last year at MuniHac, so apologies if it seems familiar
Yesterday Evening, I gave a talk about using #Haskell for #3DPrinting at the London #Scala User Group
@londonscala.bsky.social

Sorry you couldn't make it; I've got slides online over here:

Next Wednesday, I'm going to be talking about using #Haskell for #3dPrinting at London #Scala (January 14th)

I had to check whether I got this right in the ill-conceived lens post that I wrote six years ago, and it turns out that I did
I first encountered (and printed) the "Compound of Five Cubes" a couple of years back, but I got the inspiration to do the full set from a video by @standupmaths.bsky.social
