Here is the link to the original website (an NGO that monitors blocked websites in Turkey): https://ifade.org.tr/engelliweb/distrowatch-erisime-engelledi/

And here is the Google translation of the text on that page:

The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber ​​Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”.

Thanks for the response. It sucks to not have language being set in some implementations of ActivityPub. I think separating the write language settings from the read language settings would help a bit to set the corrent language when writing, at least. But I suspect that needs to be fixed in the core Lemmy (not instance specific).

I believe there is an API to create a local copy, but I’m not sure

Yeah, that’s what I meant by non-elegant. I think the way Lemmy assigns IDs to posts and comments should be re-thought. Dictionary lookup is a solution, but not a good one.

I believe there is an API to convert such a link, but detecting that a link is going to a Lemmy instance might be difficult (or non-elegant).

This is great. I think “instance post/comment links” would be a great addition to Lemmy core in general, but don’t know how easy it would be to implement. What I have in mind is: when someone provides a link to a post/comment in another instance, it would be converted to a link the person is logged in from. I think it would be OK to leave the link as is but add an icon next to it that goes to the correct URL for that instance.

I have had Pluralsight for many years now and I agree with you. In some cases they have excellent courses, but I sometimes find the content outdated. I plan to explore O’Reily’s platform next year. They seem to have a different set of resources and are comparable in price.

Strange. Thanks for checking.

No, since you are an admin I thought you might have a different view of things when you legged in.

Do you still see them when you log out (or use Incognito/Private)?

Yes, I see them there. Is it possible that a higher level comment you are replying to has been deleted?

I don’t see your comments. But I cannot see snowe’s comments that you replied to, either. I suspect those comments are dangling for some reason.

Edit: I cannot tell the comment structure, but could it be such that a high/top level comment you are responding is deleted?

I would add Ars Technica to that list and call it a day.

For programming I follow YouTube channels of the conferences relevant for my tech stack (YouTube natively supports RSS). They are generally 1 hour talks but it’s a great way to stay up to date.

I cannot answer the technical question as I don’t have enough experience with that. But I think sites like reddit mostly don’t care about search. They probably think: “People can use google if they want to search.”

Works fine on Android (Firefox).

I didn’t read it as lamenting the demise of the tinkerer. But it can of course be read that way too.

I guess many people find themselves in the article. I, for one, spent way too many nights building “under construction” web sites on Geocities. However, I definitely don’t think “passion” has anything to do with what we do (Searls also makes fun of being passionate about passion). I don’t find that to be a sustainable approach. I don’t care if a candidate I’m interviewing has personal projects in Github or a Raspberry Pi at home. Those are interesting, sure, but no more than playing the guitar or swimming.

Again, maybe the article was not well balanced. And maybe the fact that I find myself in the article prevents me from seeing it.

What you did with the message queu in Javascript is impressive. And I’m sure there are other efforts that solved “impossible” problems in creative ways. Creativity is important in a lot of professions and I can admit that it is probably more important in programming than, say, accounting (I hear “creative accounting” is not a good thing). However, I don’t think creativity is vital in what we do. It’s useful, sure. But, for example, it’s not as important as critical thinking. I think the real problem is that we are a relatively new engineering discipline that is still under rapid change. The paradox is, if we look at the programming paradigms, we don’t actually see many new things. We reheat the stuff from 60s/70s all the time (functional programming is a good example). But the socio-technical aspects of what we do (and how we do it) is under constant change (waterfall, agile, autonomy, etc.). And, this is probably what makes software unique. We have a very short feedback loop (as opposed to building a bridge). And I would say, that should also have its place in education.

This talk by Dave Farley sums up my thoughts about “software engineering” quite well: Taking Back “Software Engineering” – Craftsmanship is Insufficient (Piped link).

When I saw the title, I thought “just another blog on 10x developer”. I don’t really know why I decided to read on, but I’m happy I did. Searls touches on many more while investigating the topic. The writer approaches the topic from a inter-generational point of view and also goes in to things like “passion” and “craftsmanship”. I would even say, this is not about the 10x developer at all. This is about how as a young engineering discipline we are still trying to find better ways of doing things.

It’s an open secret that the industry has no idea how to teach people to program. Computer Science degrees famously don’t prepare programmers for the job of programming, which has always been left as an exercise to the student to figure out on their own time. If the industry is going to outlive us enthusiast programmers, will it adopt a sustainable approach to educating the next generation that doesn’t require people to teach themselves everything?

Looks like this problem has been solved now. Do you still experience it?

I don’t know if you have seen it, but programming.dev has a “community request” community: https://programming.dev/c/community_request

You can suggest one for F# there, if you want.
