How to measure things like a Canadian? in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] jnj@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For weight, they forgot to add: if it's for advertising a price, it's in $/lbs (though you will be charged in $/kg). The butcher knows damn well that steaks advertised at $15/lbs sell better than steaks at $33/kg.

Fighting Rust Anxiety: Insights from a Go Developer, Navigating Rust Syntax Shenanigans in c/golang@programming.dev

This is just a rant about personal frustrations. I even probably agree with him on most of these things, but I don't think we need to share this kind of thing here. So tired of threads about how much we all hate and disagree with each other's languages. It's better if the rust people get rust and the go people get go. There is no one holy grail of a language that everyone is going to like.

Every time I see this community, my blood runs cold. in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Are you saying I can subscribe to this community without negatively affecting my blood pressure? I'm slightly skeptical but I'll give it a try.

Where should communities live? (lemmy.ca)
 

If my home instance is lemmy.ca, and I want to create and moderate a community about, say, Japanese woodworking (random example of a subreddit I follow), isn't it a bit odd for that community to be hosted by lemmy.ca? If somebody else later created a community of the same name on lemmy.ml or lemmy.jp, would people be more likely to join those communities as they seem more "official"?

On one hand, joining multiple instances just for "better" vanity URLs for new communities seems wrong (and annoying to manage), on the other hand it's odd that I'd arbitrarily impose the traffic associated with a community completely unrelated to Canada onto lemmy.ca. How is this supposed to work?
