Thanks for stopping by 👋 I'm a software developer with extra hats, currently building things with #ElixirLang at remote.com. Interested in human languages, sewing, bicycles, gifs and generally too many things all at once.

Americans, Be Warned: Lessons From Reddit’s Chaotic UK Age Now that the Online Safety Act has gone into effect, countless problems have begun to reveal themselves, and the absurd, disastrous outcome illustrates why we must work to avoid this age-verified

Age verification has arrived in the UK and, to no one’s surprise, users hate it. We cannot accept these censorship regimes as our new norm. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

You know when you move into a place and the estate agents "forget" to remove their sign for ages. Maybe some of them "disappear" and then "reappear" here.

Highly recommend this lecture to anyone who is writing anything - I have a lot of takeaways for my technical blog from this.

Με ενδιαφέρει και το ταξιδιωτικό πολύ αν και όχι αναγκαστικά με μότο για τον εαυτό μου (δύσκολο όχημα στα βόρεια 😅). Αν και θέλω κάποια στιγμή να κάνω κάτι πιο μεγάλο με ποδήλατο. Πολύ ωραίος ο χάρτης, τον ζήλεψα. Καλά ταξίδια!

Το ειρωνικό είναι ότι ο μέσος ψηφοφόρος του CDU δεν έχει τυπικά μεγάλες οικολογικές ανησυχίες. Εμφανές και από την συνεχιζόμενη στήριξη της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας, ενώ τα τραίνα καταρρέουν. Για τους αριστερούς η Μέρκελ δεν ήταν ποτέ αρκετά πράσινη.

Absolutely, they've done a great job, especially with how the course builds up topics. Helped me loads coming from #python.

Why stop there. Imagine a formatter that does this and adds a "mocking Spongebob" ascii art in a comment under every query.

Δε θα σε ζαλίσω άλλο, αλλά θα κλείσω με αυτο:
Αρκετοί Αμερικανοί γνωστοί μου είχαν κατατάξει την κυβέρνηση Μέρκελ ως "σοσιαλιστική". Πριν ζήσω εδώ γέλαγα όταν το άκουγα. Τώρα πια όχι!

Ελπίζω να μοιραστείς κι άλλα κείμενα σου εδώ ✌️

Αντιεπιστημονικές εμμονές σε όλο το πολιτικό φάσμα, βρίσκουν "ανοχή" στο σύστημα υγείας και μολύνουν περιβαλοντολλογικές πολιτικές (βλ. κλείσιμο πυρινικων αντιδραστήρων).

Η Γερμανία που γνώρισα τώρα δεν είχε σχέση με τα στερεότυπα που έμαθα ως παιδί. Ένας συντηρητισμος που πηγάζει από φόβο για κάθε ρίσκο, φόβος για την τεχνολογία, ψευτο ιδιωτικοποιησεις που κατάφεραν να συνδιασουν τα χειρότερα του ιδιωτικού και του δημοσίου τομέα ταυτόχρονα.

Έχω ζήσει πολλά χρόνια στη Βρετανία και προσφάτως στη Γερμανία (επιστρέφω στη Βρετανία σύντομα). Δε μπόρεσα να μη γελάσω στην την εικόνα μιας Μέρκελ που μεταμορφώνεται σε Θάτσερ.

I'm curious about your experience so far.

Is this for internal or external documentation, or both?

A challenge with tooling for internal API docs is the possible disconnect between multiple internal documentation systems (e.g. code documentation, Notion etc).
