Hackathon this week 7-8 febuary

Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for the good vibe 😁

Here is the current list of tasks, i will update if there is new tasks, chat created. I will do my best to relay informations. So don’t be afraid to add news ideas 😁

german : @squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi
french (piefed) : @Takapapatapaka@tarte.nuage-libre.fr & @Snoopy@tarte.nuage-libre.fr at 3pm (gtm+1) on https://chat.piefed.social

Got a idea ? Write it up in comment 😍👍

As you know, we purposed you an hackathon for the fediverse. Two days is short, you may not have free time. Its goal is not speed up development and create lousy code and documentation. No.

The main idea is to form some team and contribute together on some project at the beginning of each month : wiki, translation, documentation, coding…

I hope that it will turn out as a recurring event later. 😁

Why ? I believe it will attract new users, contributors to the fediverse, and i hope news people will join us…and make free software shine. I believe in free software, i believe its 4 freedoms can improve our democracy and protect users rights.

Let’s go back to the hackathon. Some may prefer a slow spaced development, they are right, it is a rock solid development. Its goal is not to replace its current development. we want to invite new people being part of the fediverse, guide them, explain them how they can contribute and slowly being part of the free software movement.

There is plenty way to contribute and i hope it will invite news contributors if we organize a recurring event. 😁

fund, donation
coding software, mobile app
documentation
communication : reaching people, taking screenshoot
reporting bugs
squashing bug
suggesting new ideas
…

The fediverse is organic and follow your need. So don’t be afraid to voice your need, report bug, create poster…

so, maybe you will join us ? Is there something you want to do ? :)

Because someone hearted this old @codepen demo done with 2 radio buttons + their labels in a group and it made me notice the title still said "smooth transition Chromium only" - it's been working cross-browser since the summer of 2024! 🥳🎉🎇

Interesting read, it illustrates the challenge we have with regard to learning in a world with AI. We have to take measures for that because use of AI in coding is not going away and will only increase.

How AI Impacts Skill Formation

AI assistance produces significant productivity gains across professional domains, particularly for novice workers. Yet how this assistance affects the development of skills required to effectively supervise AI remains unclear. Novice workers who rely heavily on AI to complete unfamiliar tasks may compromise their own skill acquisition in the process. We conduct randomized experiments to study how developers gained mastery of a new asynchronous programming library with and without the assistance of AI. We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average. Participants who fully delegated coding tasks showed some productivity improvements, but at the cost of learning the library. We identify six distinct AI interaction patterns, three of which involve cognitive engagement and preserve learning outcomes even when participants receive AI assistance. Our findings suggest that AI-enhanced productivity is not a shortcut to competence and AI assistance should be carefully adopted into workflows to preserve skill formation -- particularly in safety-critical domains.

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.

When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

I have added an event to https://nolto.social/ for the Feb meeting and directed people to the OfficeHours page. Fingers crossed it will help promote.

The Linux kernel community has quietly drafted a continuity plan for a post‑Torvalds era. 🐧

Rather than naming a successor, it outlines a collective process to select future maintainers — reducing “bus-factor-of-one” risk while preserving open governance and trust. ⚙️

Linus Torvalds says he has no plans to retire. ⏳

Linux after Linus? The kernel community finally drafts a plan for replacing Torvalds

Linus plans to live forever. But just in case he doesn't, there's now a succession plan (though no actual successor).

so, apparently hacking #scheme is going to get even more fun with B.L.U.E., a sane, extendable, lisp-y l, agnostic build system and #Ares, the interactive hacking tool we always sensed was missing from our work. Yes, we now have insightful backtraces in #guile!

The future has come!
