  1. A quotation from Euripides

    JASON: The curse of children’s blood be on you!
       Avenging Justice, blast your being!
    MEDEA: What god will hear your imprecation,
       Oath-breaker, guest-deceiver, liar?
     
    [ἸΆΣΩΝ: ἀλλά σ᾽ Ἐρινὺς ὀλέσειε τέκνων
       φονία τε Δίκη.
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: τίς δὲ κλύει σοῦ θεὸς ἢ δαίμων,
       τοῦ ψευδόρκου καὶ ξειναπάτου;]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1389ff (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]

  3. Every time I see someone saying “Oh no, I missed the CFP deadline”, I can’t help thinking about all those features in Python or Django that were deprecated for years… and then someone is shocked when they finally get removed. 🫠

    Weeks of announcements. Years of warnings. Deprecation messages in the logs. And still: surprise. 😅

    Maybe warnings and deadlines only become real the day after they expire. 🪄

  5. RANT:

    Why do people insist on breaking backward compatability by removing 'deprecated' features that there is no valid reason to remove - i.e no safety issues, no clash with the thing superseding them etc.

    In the worst cases it can force rewrites of large sections of code to accomodate a different methodology and even introduce problems if the developer overlooks something like a different unit scale.

    Removing widely used things in favour of different things when they can co-exist is a shitty practice - unless in extreme cases where there is a real security risk.

    Deprecate this 🖕

  7. 🇵🇸 @small-tech/cross-platform-hostname module deprecated

    npmjs.com/package/@small-tech/

    The release of version 1.1.0 deprecates and removes support for this small module that normalised hostname reporting between Linux/macOS and Windows.

    We no longer support Windows as Microsoft is complicit in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people¹ and Small Technology Foundation² stands in solidarity with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement³.

    Windows is an ad-infested and surveillance-ridden dumpster fire of an operating system and, alongside supporting genocide, you are putting both yourself and others at risk by using it.

    When supporting Linux/macOS, just use the built-in os.hostname() method which works the same way on both platforms.

  9. 🤡 Oh no, #Google is at it again! Part 2 of their dastardly plot to slay the "open web" with the mighty sword of... #XSLT deprecation? 🤔 No worries, though, they'll keep providing non-reasons while simultaneously reminding everyone how much they love open-source. 😂

  11. Hmpf...
    Wieso machen sich Bibliotheksentwickler einen Spaß daraus alte Programme unbrauchbar zu machen?
    Gut wenn man den Quellcode hat und solche Sachen (hot-)fixen kann, scheiße wenn nicht.

    Playscii, ein PETSCII Malprogramm in Python, rennt in genau dieses Problem, siehe:
    stackoverflow.com/questions/76

    Hier hatte ich Glück und konnte ich jetzt den Quickfix in die playscii.py rein werfen. Mal schauen wann ich wieder Pech habe und nen altes Linux in ne VM werfen darf...

    No, my bank is totally uncool 🙃

    Then again.
    I could not have made up my mind eitherhow...

    (I think I don't want to be 800
    If I had to adapt all my program code so often I'd die.
    Deathcause: #Adaption by #code #deprecation
    #PHP #JS and #Python buried also )

  15. 🐳 If you are using the very, very old official PostgreSQL Docker image for PostgreSQL 8 (`postgres:8`), you might be interested in hub.docker.com/r/joschi/postgr which is a identical copy of the Docker image (`postgres:8`, `posgres:8.4`, `postgres:8.4.22`) which was still using the deprecated and planned for removal image manifest v2 schema 1 and "Docker Image v1" formats.

  16. I'm marking all the deprecated stuff in #Griffe with #Yore comments.

    Yore is a new tool of mine that helps you manage legacy code. You write comments above lines or blocks of code, with a simple grammar for applying transformations once a version is reached (e.g. 1.0.0) or once a minor Python version reaches its End Of Life.
