@LainTrain That would be @soatok@furry.engineer. The blog itself is also federated at @soatok@soatok.blog

[tagging @vzq @programming for Mastodon->Lemmy federation]

@Lynxtickler ahh, I misunderstood what you were referring to. Didn't realise you were talking about JSON Schema and not the JSON syntax itself.

It's the other way around. The YAML schema supports JSON because YAML was designed as a superset of JSON.

@Lynxtickler @canpolat

Oh absolutely. I can think of several situations where that wouldn't work well or at all, for example, a switch statement that sets up variables to be used in the rest of the function.

@zib @UnRelatedBurner @programming

Also, good luck using switch without any breaks, but I'm guessing that's not quite what your teacher had in mind.

The teacher, probably: “You must always put a switch in its own function! Then use return at the end of each case.”

@btaf45 tagging @programming so that this federates properly from Mastodon to Lemmy

@nous That's a good way of putting it!

@btaf45 in my case, we as a team could have done that, because we didn't have management dictating how we did anything. It was our choice to do what worked for us, and it was a valuable tool for dealing with whatever got thrown at us.

Now I'm working in a different place that dictates Agile and Scrum to be done Their Way, on top of a project that's largely waterfall-like to begin with, and I'm starting to see why people say it doesn't work.

It works, BUT, only when you're using it as the right tool for the right job and not when management decide to misapply it as a hot new planning methodology.

@btaf45 @mspencer712 The whole point of Scrum is to use the retrospective to stop doing what doesn't work and start doing what does.

At one point, when my team's workload changed to less-timeboxable work, we threw out the entire concept of sprints and just used kanban instead, and stayed like that for a year. We still did retrospectives on the old sprint cadence though.

@verdare @lysdexic they are, but you have to be an enterprise customer.

RTOS are not going to become consumer operating systems, because there's too much value in selling it as a capability to enterprise customers (who are largely the consumers who REQUIRE a RTOS, rather than it merely being a convenience).

@Andy @BeanCounter Given how many of these start with "Lemmy" you could simplify this to:

https://(lemmy\\.(?:run|(?:fmhy\\.)?ml|dbzer0\\.com|world|kde\\.social|ca)|lemmygrad\\.ml|lemdro\\.id|beehaw\\.org|sh\\.itjust\\.works|(?:sopuli|mander)\\.xyz|zerobytes\\.monster)/c/(.\*)

Or just assume that anything matching https://(lemmy\\.[^/]+)/c/(.\*) is a Lemmy server, which will probably be correct.

Edit: some kind of interaction between Mastodon and Lemmy has doubled all my backslashes. That is not intentional.

@kier I am no expert, but there are I believe other mechanisms that could *maybe indirectly* cause cancer with certain kinds of radiation. I feel like cell damage from microwave- or infrared-induced heat could release free radicals or create some other carcinogenic chemicals.

But that's not a direct result of the radiation. Direct DNA damage from radiation only occurs with ionizing radiation, as you mentioned.

And since we're talking about visible light, I'm not aware of any way, indirect or otherwise, that visible light could cause cancer.
