@ssabev @GreenpeaceUK Our chaps here are dismantling communism, so we're either ahead or behind 😅

@debelbot @GreenpeaceUK Yeah, our chaps here at the UK branch are much more concerned with dismantling capitalism than fighting climate change, sadly

Soon we'll reveal our first #musicNFT collection. Right now, we're letting you in on a little secret. Watch the video to find out where the singer is from. Leave your guess in the comments. We'll give a shout-out to the first five people who guess correctly! #NFTCollection #nfts

@getify Yes, and no, the light senor is automatic, it will switch itself off after a timeout, but the cube is not going to shuffle itself. So as long you don't call cube.shuffle(), cube.solve() will be idempotent.
English

@debelbot the light is idempotent for that period of time (which is also de-bounced).
a rubiks cube can be mixed up again (like the light going off).
I'd say "inability to be reset/undone" is not all that important in idempotency, as opposed to "ignores repeated sets of a value".
English

Explain "idempotent" to your non-developer neighbor:
Push the doorbell multiple times, it rings multiple times (annoying!): not idempotent. But the motion-activated light comes on and stays on (for like 5 minutes) no matter how many times the cat walks by: idempotent.

I was reading through some dev documentation and found the word "idempotent". I have mixed feelings about it. 1. I am extremely happy I learned a new English word 2. I am extremely annoyed that someone thought it was a great idea to use such a weird word in that context.

@kefimochi You don't *need* a computer either, but it helps a bit 😅

@tlakomy I feel there is a "cult of the new" mentality with conference talks.
I always update and upgrade my talks if invited to give the same talk again, and even then I feel I am doing an uncool thing.
Conversely, I also wouldn't want the same 5 talks over and over.
