May the principle of humanity never fail to be the hallmark of our daily actions. In the face of the cruelty of conflicts that involve defenceless civilians and attack schools, hospitals and humanitarian workers, we cannot allow ourselves to forget that it is not targets that are struck, but persons, each possessed of a soul and human dignity.

RIP Pope Francis 🙏

His final speech from yesterday highlights what Christianity is about: love and compassion for the marginalized, for the poor, for the starving, for the injured and the displaced, for the victims of war. Love as a guiding principle, not hate.

Looking for examples of AI policies for open source projects. I'm particularly interested in verbiage maintainers can reference while moderating slop, with a path to redemption. Maintainers do not have time to distinguish bots and grifters from rookie missteps.

yet another data point that industry use of Scala is for purely functional programming, not despite it, and Spark

I'll also add that the ability to create dialects/DSL is a value prop of the language, not a bug. if Scala refuses it industry will pick friendlier AST like Starlark

Survey results showing Cats as most adopted library at 53% of respondents with FS2 in second place at 31%

Just one survey but happily surprised to see FS2 ahead of Akka and only behind Cats!

Created a Starter pack for all #Scala programming language enthusiasts, developers and users. Please share. If I missed anyone please let me know so I can add them to the list! I wasn't able to add some people assume that's their #Bluesky settings that prevents me adding them.
