blockchain as a core technology isn’t user-friendly… it should be hidden, and you’ll never know when it’s doing interesting things. it was never going to revolutionise the world, but that doesn’t invalidate its usefulness in niche situations
… it shouldn’t be used for 95% of the garbage people have built with it - and for NFTs that’s more like 99%
absolutely this
youse and torlet
I’m from Australia and I’ve started calling all groups of people yall because it’s gender neutral… very unaustralian term, and I love so much the irony of iconic southern terms being used to support trans activism
And any partner of mine in that situation would be like cool… 3some? And everyone has fun
the way people use NFTs with art are certainly absurd, but even the core technology of NFTs is actually excellent
a gift, or a test?
i will never understand the inability for people not to have amazing sex with their friends
the various github-supplied actions are good example:
https://github.com/actions/setup-python
the action.yml here is the metadata for an action (and you invoke this action by simply referencing actions/setup-python - perhaps with a sha or tag or something to pin it - and the runner clones and runs it, making custom actions simply code with no build process etc necessary which is very nice to not have to bootstrap your build process with a build process eg docker build)
see the “runs” section there - it invokes node20 to run the action, and specifies some code to run to cleanup
in the src here we can see what i was mentioning as well about having bi-directional comms with the CI system
https://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/main/src/setup-python.ts
line 54 & 55 we have core.getInput and core.getMultiLineInput, 59 we have core.warning (so logs are formatted and filterable etc - these messages also show up in the build summary; similarly line 100 we have core.startGroup), 154 is core.setFailed so you get proper failure reasons rather than “the last line of stderr”
now, none of this is specific to running in a real language - in fact i believe all this information is communicated over stdout or stderr - but the ease of simply creating a repo with code in it, and having that as a reusable CI step without worrying about docker container hosting, and having that able to have semantic meaning for its inputs and outputs (and proper reliable escaping of the special CI communication prefixes) is something that kinda doesn’t exist outside of this style system
Hmmm I mean I guess we’re a very big country for our population so maybe the mining and interstate rail overwhelm the metro and Sydney-Melbourne networks… I’m just surprised it’s by more than 80%
that’s not at all the intention of the comment - simply that when i make a comment directly related to my personal sex life, you’re aware that there are no women involved, thus the comment eliminates misogyny from the equation in that specific case. i’m sorry for not being clearer on that. i’ve added an edit to my comment so that it’s more apparent
believe what you want, but as a gay man (i say this so you’re aware that there’s no misogyny involved edit: and by which i mean my personal sex life does not involve women so gender does not come into play in this specific situation), i’d never date someone where sex was off the table… i wouldn’t force it on anyone of course, but we fuck or we break up - sex is too important for my mental health to deny myself
oooh i have that exact espresso machine (except they’ve mirrored it)! it’s a rancilio silivia… i use fedora and debian with a pinch of al2
