Still find it crazy that Google Drive / Android can happily view say a PDF file, but not plain text.
I mean, how did we as an industry get to this place.

Remembering Grace Hopper (Communications of the ACM)

She had a habit of bucking convention and espoused the motto, “It's always easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”

listen, I've had my moments, but at least I've never mansplained Margaret Atwood's book to Margaret Atwood
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
@ascherbaum can you not do what you need with a multi-stage build?

*Spending most of your time in JavaScript build configuration hell. But, hey, at least you're not in CSS.
@mavit sounds perfectly stylish.

If as Chris Giles (FT) suggests, we need to match our aspirations for a European style welfare state, with European levels of taxation (higher for everyone, not just the wealthy as often now suggested), then we hit a major political problem.
If we demand more taxes before the public sector recovers from the Tory engineered crisis, we merely build up resentment at the mismatch between cost(s) & service.
Reeves' fiscal rules must allow sufficient investment to square that circle!
@mgdm a bunch of the JS/TS linting tools do it.
Plus also had to suffer a range of Java code analysis tools doing similar.
Stuff like SonarQube does it on a range of languages.

If you're attending @pgconfeu and you're either invested in the #PostgreSQL extension ecosystem, or you've always wanted to contribute to projects that extend Postgres' functionality but didn't know where to start: register for the free Extension Ecosystem Summit on the 22nd!

@mntmn they are very cool. Would love to see your code to react to the sound, some form of FFT?
It's something I wanted to get working on my LED badges at some point.
Totally, he's acting in bad faith to the project.
I like the view that 'Open Source allows competitors to collaborate'.
However plenty of Open Source projects are not true projects. If a project is significantly controlled by one entity, with differing commercial drivers. At some point, conflict is going to arise.
Can't help but think a lot of this, is someone having an ego trip. And not acting for the good of the project.
There have been plenty of similar examples.
It's kind of exactly what AGPL is for.
I'm just waiting for someone to fork it, given how much bad feeling the founder is now seeding.
