Whenever I go to this spot to practice my Cave diving skipps Virgil The Soft-shelled Turtle comes over to say hi. He likes to get his belly scritches when I am diving, assuming a fish doesnt distract him anyway :)
This is only 33 feet / 10 meters down before entering the cave. Its a practice case so fairly shallow. It only does down to about 120 feet / 35 meters or so.

One of the best Dives I ever did was in Sardinia, Italy. #SCUBA #Ocean #Water #Diving
I remember when i was a brand new #SCUBA diver and how scared I used to be before dives to even 30 feet... now here I am planning dives to 200 - 450 ft knowing full well half of my equipment i cant even take town because it would explode under the extreme pressure, and I'm not even worried. In fact im excited.

I remembered this epic quote from Good Will Hunting and now I need to watch it again:
You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart.
@jkoski matrix servers have different features, and they vary alot. Some big considerations are things like 1) how much of the history does it pull down for foreign channels 2) what extra features for room administration does it provide (for example are ephemeral rooms turned on as a feature). Is the labs turn on?
QOTO matrix server is focused on an all-in approach, and runs off some hefty servers to do this. For example we pull down all room history (this is rarely done) and have almost all extra features turned on.

Is it weird that optimizing JavaScript is such a dinner discussion for #ClojureScript? I never thought about it when I was more of a JS dev, but things like Google Closure say I should've. Doing his amazing optimization thing, I highly recommend @mfikes

nope we are a heavily modified fork off vanilla mastodon. We did pull in or write features similar to the most useful glitch features. But those were pulled in or written on top of vanilla fork directly.

@worldsendless I am the one who programmed all the extra features into QOTO. I would hope I know it :)
Most languages are good for their given purpose... some have no purpose they are well suited for and might not be good. But I'd consider most languages good in one sense or another, even ones I might dislike.
Java is good because it is well thought out from the get go so inconsitiencies between versions are minimal. The patterns used are well standardized and formalized so the API is easy to navigate. It is robust and exceedingly performant compared to other high level languages.
These things also can lead to better programmers if the programmers adopt and replicate the core java patterns.
A good concrete example of all this is the collections API and the formal and comprehensive interfaces and implementations. Many languages dont even have navigable sets as a formal interface for example.
Another example are its memory management objects like Phantom, weak, soft, and regular memory refernces that the programmer can control and are first class citizens to the VM's GC.

@worldsendless We arent the only ones, but it is rather rare. The standard we use was adopted from misskey. So you will find misskey servers have it. Fedibird also has the feature.
Servers that dont support it just see it as a link inline with your message. So luckily it is backwards compatible with other instances too.
@thegibson Teh majority of hackers I can think of, and most of the really famous ones, had degrees or were university students at the time.
@lewdthewides If you listen to vocaloid can you even really say you were alive at all though?
@vasia@mastodon.social This is the real tesla!
@worldsendless facts. Java is a good language, but it is also a boring and tedious one. @mc

I see what you mean (and how the original phrasing hides details[1]), but I disagree about talking about cars not bringing anything in. If someone proposes an argument for X that makes use of properties that are shared between X and Y, then it might be useful to figure out whether they think Y or not-Y. If they think not-Y, then probably the argument got miscommunicated somehow.
[1] which I do understand is very annoying; after all, I'm the guy who often has to tell people that they only know that _this_ zebra has stripes on this side only at work; arguments with hidden detail make it harder for people to notice such subtleties.
