Lovely article; short and to-the-point without being abrupt. A choice excerpt:

For long‑time fans, this moment might well feel like a disruption, but it’s also a quiet milestone. Take it as a reminder that the worlds we love are built by people, and that even legends eventually step back.

Great summary of the current state of things and of the actors involved. There’s a certain flavor of “oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!” to this situation that’s quite disheartening.

It’s like a reverse Buckethead

Y’a des trucs particuliers de Flask qui te semblent mal approprié à ce cas d’usage? Aurais-tu une autre brique logicielle à conseiller à sa place, par ex FastAPI ou encore Django?

I’m not sure how the comments are counted, but there may be an increase in comments in Lemmy communities made by accounts from other fediverse software like piefed and mastodon.

I love your style!

Yeah, it’s weird. In cases like this I’m tempted to send a message to each downvoter asking them why they downvoted.

I have found Hackaday to be depressingly full of shallow summaries of things said/done/written by other people elsewhere.

Chat, is this a balanced binary tree?

Something something when a metric becomes a target something something it ceases to be a useful metric. Only in this case the metric is fungible and can be traded for almost anything else in the world. No wonder it became the target.

The older I get, the more I think Tolkien and Herbert had it right (despite disagreeing with much of their politics); gift economies, subsistence farming, and self-reliance are the way to go to prevent us from destroying ourselves.

Hey some of us 40k fans are bug fans!

I dunno, man, if it really is unstoppable then why waste time and effort proclaiming it? Just do it/let it take place and focus on things that are in up the air.
