Today, I wasted 2 hours debugging what I thought was very odd behaviour in until I learned that async Task and async void are two very different things, and now I am very angry about async void. Was about to ban its usage entirely, but this SO article was helpful in explaining how it can be useful and not just a foot-gun

@mikegoatly seems like the mantra will be async Task until
You know you need async void ✌️

@jchaven you always don your wing suit before boarding a plane, so worst case scenario, you can jump and soar to your destination while the rest of the passengers plummet to their inevitable doom..? I like it 👍

I think it's kind of a disaster that the peer-reviewed research on generative AI is locked up behind paywalls whereas the hype and sales pitches and nonsense is freely available and flooding all information channels.

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@einarwh I think this is a big part of why AI looks like “yet another grift”, like NFT and cryptocurrency 😬
More transparency would be nice

It's funny, I've always struggled with 'imposter syndrome' and wanting to always be/do better, know/learn more, and actually do something constructive.

But the more I learn, the more experience I get, it's still getting harder for me to balance the feeling of inadequacy and ambitions

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@svelmoe it is a real struggle. I’m the same way. The more we learn, the more we realize that there is still so much we do not know.

Best I’ve been able to do is figure out which things I want to focus on for myself, and then surround myself with people who complement my skills. Then I can be my best without needing to know everything. Lean on the team.

But I don’t have a full answer. It’s a struggle

I'm already using @birb for my reader here on Fediverse. Great.

I know Facebook is Facebook, and they won't give me sh*t unless I hand over my data, but I'm hoping I can subscribe to a the Facebook page through RSS or through some service that uses Facebook's API to turn it into RSS..

Anyone heard of such a thing?

I guess my googling skills were a bit off. Immediately found this site after asking: https://fetchrss.com/facebook

Seems like it may do the trick, although I may have to shell out a bit of money for the service. I guess that is better than handing over my data to though
