It’s the issues with XMPP’s spec: you don’t just use XMPP, you use XMPP + your favorite optional spec implementations.

If your friends aren’t on the same server/client combo then you won’t be able to communicate with them (effectively).

I loved XMPP, still do, but haven’t used it in years. If it were to get a single, matrix-style “spec release” (think an aggregation of existing features into one collection) that contains/requires a bunch of modern chat features I’ve come to expect from programs, then I could see it potentially having a resurgence.

I’m very excited for this! Granted, I do wish they’d stop “announcing” Matrix 2.0, but I think the release of SSS alone is reason enough for celebration.

I have sync issues with even Slack or WhatsApp when I use an old device that hasn’t updated in a while - Matrix’s new sync scheme is genuinely fantastic and fixes all the issues my aging synapse server was having (4+ year server means those initial syncs on log-in could tak upwards of 10 minutes).

Now I just want Element Call to work with my pre-existing accounts and then I’ll be ready for the next Matrix 2.0 announcement 😂

Might need to find more active communities?

The spam thing is annoying, but is a result of anyone being able to join a room and just upload images.

Really wish the large rooms would just disable image uploads, or use a bot to police new users a bit.

This is a pretty interesting idea! And I do agree that the feature to aggregate comments from multiple posts would be useful.

This place is known for both their price and portion size. I generally get two meals out of a single $30 sandwich.

Regardless of how popular the place is with tourists, it is still a classic.

And, bonus: if the line is too long you can just go to Russ and Daughters a block away and grab a pastrami lox bagel (see attached).

Delicious 👌

Pricey!

That garlic cilantro compound butter sounds like a great addition; well done!

Mine is in 6 days, oh boy.

Bowl mixer? Just put on a podcast and knead that by hand for 15 minutes. Ez-pz.

Care to share a recipe link?

Completely reasonable. We only use kaşar because, well… It’s just what we use here 😂 Gouda, mozzarella, gruyere - all great choices.

As a Turk, I approve. Also, putting gouda cheese in a kumpir is a 10/10 move.

But what happens if you don’t use an IDE? That was the original point. Even if it isn’t statically typed, a python IDE can also do its best to guess the type of an object.

The point is to have code that’s legible without dependence on large, third party tools.

True true!

Yep, I was specifically talking about C#'s implementation.

I worked with some large C# code bases, and you could always see the point in time in which an individual developer would finally get comfortable with var - it’s when the code would start getting unreadable. 🤣

Nope, was added to dot Net after the fact. Normally you declare each type by hand, e.g.

ArrayList<int> myCoolList = new ArrayList<int>();

vs

var myCoolList = new ArrayList<int>();

The second example is why the keyword was added, but now imagine you have a function call returning an unknown type, and then things will start to get super funky.

E.g.

var myCoolBook = BuildBookData(input);

…one step forward and then the same step back 😂 (disclaimer: I do actually like C#, though)

Just you wait until your developers learn about the var keyword - it’s going to be Python 2.7 PTSD incidents all over again 😂

Larger, modern python projects always use type hints, for this specific reason.

In the past you had PyDoc, which also scratched that itch.

Barring that, contributing to a python project is very difficult without an IDE that performs type checks for you (which is unreliable).

What’s annoying about it? Deploying a war to tomcat is one of the easiest things one can do.
