90’s? I assumed it was from the 80s or earlier

Now find a slot that works for Central/Western Europe and California.

I was scheduling calls from EST with people on AEDT 20 years ago. Companies having a global presence isn’t a new issue. Everything is a trade off and sometimes the cost of asynchronous work communication is beneficial.

Often neither the 5 minute call nor the 20 emails are needed but used because no prioritization is being made for the time or work of others because there’s not enough friction to force the prioritization. Not everything that is urgent is important and not everything that is important should interfere with urgent matters. The balance is difficult in any arrangement.

Also, you can send an email to schedule a call.

Maybe someone could modify peertube to be more microblog-like

Mp3 is a proprietary format on copyright. Some idiot ceo can came and change the rules, let’s add an ads mandatory for each decoder.

This is not true. Copyright is not relevant to an encoding standard. The standard has been unchanged for 26 years and all legal claims of patent rights related to implimentations of the standard have expired before May 2017.

@swooosh@lemmy.world you should probably know about this as well.

Oh. I was thinking opensource and the organizations above that pay for Discourse to host for them a are non-profit. I don’t know why I read the post body and forgot about the title.

I guess programming.dev sorta fits except the UI is different. Maybe someone can create a frontend that mimics the Stack Overflow UI.

There are many Discourse forums for various programming related tools, services, and programming languages. I’ve shared 3 examples below.

Think Python is a top quality book for learning. The latest version of Think Python by Allen B. Downey is available for free online in the form of interactive Jupyter notebooks hosted on Google Colab meaning you don’t need to set up, install, or configure anything up front to start learning to program using python. I think it’s 100% the best way for complete beginners to start.

While you’re working through Think Python, you can get real time feedback and answers here in !python@programming.dev (https://programming.dev/c/python) or:

• Matrix python room

• Discord Python server

• PySlackers Slack Python channel

They are all quite active and helpful to new learners.

When you are ready to install and run Python locally on your hardware you can refer to the Official Python Documentation. There is a section dedicated to installing and using Python

I don’t know what that means

Should be Scrimba.com

Languages that caught my attention were Julia, Clojure and Go.

What about these languages caught your attention?

What are some good resources for someone like me who likes to learn by doing things?

You can use this as an opportunity to have a conversation about what it is about those movies that she likes. This could open up to a larger conversation where you can connect and grow your relationship as mother and child. Or she might just say something vague and simple and you can ignore the movies while they sit in a separate library.

In that case, why aren’t you using any other editor that can do the same? Why not just use VSCode?

"All punctuation will be considered but avoided where possible because street names and addresses, when stored in databases, must meet the standards set out in BS7666.

“This restricts the use of punctuation marks and special characters (e.g. apostrophes, hyphens and ampersands) to avoid potential problems when searching the databases as these characters have specific meanings in computer systems.”

This seems like a dumb line of reasoning. The problem has never been the signs or punctuation in a database. It’s that the people in charge don’t even know what BS7666 even says.

Yes. I was just giving accurate information, not making any sort of argument.

They’re hiring replacements in Germany, not India.

Engineers over index in their own ways, but I think you’re spot on with decoding the PR speak.

The Python team was very involved with the Python Software Foundation and was influencial with directing priorities for the Python programming language reference implementation (which is by far the most widely used implementation of Python). Google just gave up their say in how the language will evolve. Seems like an incredibly bad strategy. But then again, Google has been, from a financial perspective, nothing more than a digital classified ads platform for decades. If a smart MBA were running Google they’d start spinning off divisions into new IPOs and cashing in with dividends like other large conglomerates have done in the past when they have stopped inovating or actually commit to their projects long term.

Yes

You seem to think Google cares at all.

Odd conclusion to draw. I’m simply not inclined to recommend tools that are not going to be supported by the organization that created them. Development ecosystems are important when planning a project.
