The question is not whether there are sources, the question is whether Wikipedia's policy allows acknowledging them. In the modern world, the best sources on whether JangaFX's software is written in Odin are the people who wrote it. They say that it is. Their website literally has a link on the home page menu that says "Odin programming language - our language of choice". If that is unpersuasive, a JangaFX founder replied to this very thread to tell you that their codebase is written in Odin :) But as far as I can tell from having seen this sort of thing play out multiple times, in Wikipedia's world, the most accurate sources - the people who were actually there and know what happened - are systematically considered inferior. What they say in the now-abundant public record typically doesn't count. Wikipedia seems stuck in an antiquated worldview where things like traditionally-published books with second- or third-hand reports of what happened, and which are frequently incomplete or wholly inaccurate, are nonetheless considered more authoritative than primary sources you can find with a ten-second Google search. That approach leads to situations like this, where you have a programming language used in production, with a 10k-star github, and where you can go watch hours of YouTube interviews with the creator, as well as users discussing their own experiences with the language and what they've done with it. Yet despite all that, Wikipedia deletes its page because it is "not notable" :( Meanwhile, go lookup any programming language from 50+ years ago - even those that were purely theoretical, and with which literally no one ever shipped a single piece of software - and I guarantee you there is a Wikipedia entry. It probably even has examples of the syntax of the language included in the page. Plankalkül? Yep. Böhm's Language? No problem. Again, the reason for this is obvious: before the widespread use of the internet, you had to formally publish something if you wanted to talk about a programming language. So no matter how obscure, there will always be a few printed sources discussing the language. By Wikipedia's rules, that makes it easy to find "sources" to defend a language's "notability". That's simple not how the programming world works today.

This article on the Nasa moon landings features a stunningly beautiful diagram titled "Geometric Perspective of First Earth-Moon Photo". I would _love_ to see more like it, but the source link is broken. Does anyone know where I can find more? 🙏 vice.com/en/article/how…

i love the drizzle team and i'm so happy they're joining planetscale many years ago i came across their team in my replies mentioning their tool they'd been working on it for a while but it didn't have much traction, didn't think much of it one day i did a twitch stream documenting all my issues with prisma and they went over every minute and sent me detailed information on how drizzle solves all of it convinced me to look deeper and i realized they hit the perfect architecture for exactly what was missing from the ecosystem did a call with them and ended up making a video to help get a few more eyes and drizzle was so obviously a good idea that it to blew up immediately and then seeing the team execute so well over the years and continue to be hilarious all while being based out of ukraine is probably one of the most inspiring stories in our space i even remember tearing up reading some of their posts and now it's all come full circle and they're joining planetscale who we've been using for all our projects for almost as long as we've been using drizzle great moment for our industry

@iamdavidhill the left side is hard to look at because the folder and file icons are too similar — they need more contrast so i go with grey folders and colourful file icons plus no redundant caret which takes the already limited horizontal space

nah, but seriously, I'm just questioning everything I know and everything I think I know. I look at some filetrees and there is just so much visual noise. Eg. there comes a point in a dropdown of actions from a menu where giving each action an icon is just too much, y'know? Like, is the version with icons soooo much easier to read?

controversial question.. do you *really* need these icons in a filetree? or are you just reading the extension?

@uwukko this is the only sensible way i’ve found to use email for people i just have to gradually build that list of allowed senders no client makes it quick & easy to build up these lists
Siraj@syhner

@ryanflorence inbox rules based on sender / email content each of the following goes into it’s own folder to control notifications - whitelist (specific senders that i want to receive notifications for) - alerts - anything with the word unsubscribe - order updates - github - etc.

why is there no mail client that actually filters email into “people” and “other stuff” that also supports more than just gmail
