@tastytea Which could just be one of many supported identity verification services. Looking at the API and profile settings, this seems to be the plan already. Emails would suffice, too, it was just the Keybase integration that triggered my train of thought.

GitHub is launching GitHub Sponsors, allowing the community to financially support the people who design, build, and maintain the open source projects they depend on:

Now that we can prove our identity on Mastodon via Keybase, wouldn't it be nice if I could move my entire social graph (content & relationships) to another fediverse account that I can prove my identity for?

That would truly give me the freedom over my account and make me independent from the instance I initially signed up with.

@zatnosk It's fair reasoning, but there's no denying that this is how many other languages behave. I commonly ask this question at talks and usually the vast majority of people expect it to return an empty slice. Even programmers with many years of experience fall for that kind of bug. (myself included)

Sounds like most of you are aware of strings.Split's behavior, and it is well documented, too:

"If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, Split returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s."

So if s was an empty string, that would be the only element in the returned list.

However, it still seems a bit unintuitive to me. I keep noticing how often people expect it to return an empty slice, which leads to issues that can be tricky to debug at times.

@RebelsHeart

Where have you been in recent months? 😂

@saxnot Du meinst GitHubs "Toolchain"? Git als solches ist da recht agnostisch. Es kennt keinen Workflow hinter Merge Requests, streng genommen kennt es ja nicht mal Merge Requests selbst.

Sowohl Git als auch GitHub lassen sich dafuer problemlos mit Review & Collaboration Tools wie Phabricator & Co integrieren. Ich vermute auf solche Tools spielst du an?

@saxnot Wenn du "richtig alt" und "besonders eigenständig" anders werten willst als den "Müll", dann vielleicht. Diese Aussage find ich aber schon etwas despektierlich.

Ansonsten wird es aber sicherlich schwer mehr als eine halbe Million Projekte zu finden, die ihre eigene Infrastruktur betreiben.

@njha Not quite, but close. It's a little more surprising, even.

#golang pop quiz: what does this code print out?

s := strings.Split("", "@") fmt.Println(len(s))

[ ] 0
[ ] 1
[ ] Undefined output

Vermutlich weil es mehr als nur eine Hosting Platform fuer Git Repositories ist, sondern zu einem sozialen Netzwerk geworden ist, das de facto das Zuhause fuer 99% aller Open Source Projekte darstellt.

Technisch zu wechseln ist einfach, aber seine User- und Entwickler-Community dabei nicht zu spalten faellt sehr schwer.

Parallelen zu Mastodon <-> Twitter sind zu erkennen.

Actually, it really doesn't. Then again I've never understood oven-timers that just beep. Should at least turn it off automatically then.

@salomonderotti

So many people, I don't even know where to start 😆
