Rust is currently leading 51% to 49% against #Python in the grand final, with just a 27 vote gap...

This is going to be another tough 11 hours, so vote now and boost!

#ITWorldCup Match for 3rd place
#SQL vs. #clang

#ITWorldCup The match for 3rd place started 2 hours late, sorry: SQL vs. C

The final will be tomorrow: Python vs. Rust

@radioscout @itworldcup Rust is probably going to win against C; Rust vs Python will be the ultimate battle

Americans will use literally anything but the metric system, part #289,231

@itworldcup I didn't expect SQL would get this far.

“Board of Peace” or “Bored of Peace”?

Did you know, that they Windows curser isn't symetric?

You prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at https://noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.

I see they've dressed up the landing page there! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.

(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

This is my 256th toot.

@tinoeberl so wie es aussieht bin ich hier mit 17 ziemlich einsam...

We need a recaps recap, which recaps how much recaps you watched.

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

While I'm generally opposed to AI-assisted coding, I think using LLMs to write tests is a great time saver.

Today I learned 'bool' is a subclass of 'int' in Python.

Before Python introduced a boolean type, it used 0 and 1 for truth values. 'bool' was later designed to behave like 0 and 1 to maintain backward compatibility.
