@serapath It does, but I'm already using that and it's not a cool new language :)
There have been a lot of interesting improvements in language design since then, some of which are difficult or impossible to backport into JS, so I'd like to experiment with some newer stuff too!

TIL if the water between denmark and sweden freezes and a swede crosses the ice by foot, danes are legally allowed to beat them with a stick. this is in their constitution
@jon Aren't they just using "TGV" as an abbreviation there? IIRC it stands for "train grande vitesse" or so, ie. "high speed train".
@mynameistillian I enjoyed the TV series and especially the movies, but I was a kid at the time, and I'm not sure I would *still* enjoy it today. I did play the shit out of the Gameboy games also though.

Stop normalizing paw patrol
@Quenby I would explicitly add to that that it also doesn't matter whether you actually *have* work right now, as long as you *need* it
@bananas Specifications that determine how to convert from one (version of) a type to another, so that you can interoperate between nominally incompatible but semantically compatible types, which is one of the possible ways to deal with the nominal typing problem
@bananas Not unsolvable, though, and I'd be perfectly okay with stuff like "having to manually specify type adapters", because that still causes way less pain than juggling transitive dependency versions forever
My kingdom for a cool new programming language that doesn't have a flat dependency space and actually supports conflicting versions of transitive dependencies

Thinking about what it would take to make the real world into the "Star Trek future" sort of place where it would be safe to introduce new technology and it wouldn't just be used to oppress

The most essential step in keeping a #journal is simply to write the date each day. It's OK if you don't write anything else. Doing just that says a lot.
Though, often with the date written you can write a bit more. Or draw something.
I used to keep journals for all of my projects but fell out of doing it in my 30s. I've gotten back into it recently and I'm shocked at how powerful of a tool it is to keep focus from one day to the next. To set and reach goals. To process emotions and ideas.
This is extremely cool: https://www.keacher.com/xmas24/
It's a PCB-based 'christmas card' with lights, except it has no battery and pulls energy from radio waves in the air, and you can both power and control it by eg. holding it next to your phone.
From what I understand, the control of the lights doesn't use any actual data connection or pairing, instead the page encodes a modulated signal directly on 2.4GHz by opening a websocket and sending / not sending data in patterns, that the card then extracts and reads!

where are like all the south asian western diaspora trans-femmes who had their gender and sexuality discovery stunted by a mix of garbage media representation and toxic parenting from asian traditions?
like statistically I can't be the only one, there must be others in my situation? no? or am I truly uniquely messed up in this regard?
I feel like I'm screaming into a void sometimes~

So basically if you're vegan, remember to check the label on your margarine! It might be much closer to butter than you realize!

practically complete extinction of an ethnic group, russia, war in ukraine
just received news that one of the ppl who died in the invasion against ukraine was Ivan Taigamyr, who belongs to the Kerek people, who are one of the Indigenous nations that live on the territory of so called "russia".
There are only 23 Kerek people left.
None speak the Kerek language fluently.
i read that on the wiki page for Kerek people and my heart just sank.

this fascist machine, and its actions in ukraine, does not only threaten ukrainians with extinction, but also destroys indigenous, nonwhite and minority nations in russia by conscripting people who belong to them disproportionately, leaving them to die.

THIS is why i am telling yall that russia is a fascist force. it's a fascist, white supremacist force that mows down everyone who opposes it or in any way isn't russian, white, cis, abled, heterosexual, christian. it's a fucking nightmare made reality.
so many of western leftists online engage in their bullshit campism so much that they decenter the victims of russian/soviet imperialism
@Dee I feel like the UK is the easiest place in the world to end up doing "crimes against the crown" tbh
@hans (Given the recent history of Dutch politics I also kind of doubt that "helping people get to know their neighbours" is even on the schedule at all, this place is extremely individualist)
@hans The thing is, that's the wrong order. Time is an important factor in disaster preparation, and getting to know your neighbours is a relatively slow process compared to buying some rice and water at the shop, so it really should've been the first thing.
