Jimmy Carterโs idealism and humility left a lasting imprint on American life
Former US president Jimmy Carter, a man defined by his humility and idealism, has died at 100.
Many US presidents come from modest upbringings. Born in Plains, Georgia, Jimmy Carterโs Depression-era childhood was no exception. His home lacked running water and electricity, while his rural high school lacked a 12th grade.
What made Carter exceptional was the degree to which these humble beginnings would influence his life, most notably his time as Americaโs 39th president from 1977-1981.
Jimmy Carterโs idealism and humility left a lasting imprint on American life
The former US president was widely criticised for his time in government, but his work on leaving office came to exemplify what a post-presidential life could entail.The Conversation

Today, I discovered that in #Rails 8, the command for setting up a fresh database has changed from `db:migrate` to `db:prepare`. This caught me off guard since it wasnโt mentioned in the [Rails 8.0 release notes](guides.rubyonrails.org/v8.0/8_โฆ).
Thankfully, I found it documented in the [ActiveRecord CHANGELOG](github.com/rails/rails/blob/8-โฆ).
However, testing migrations now requires `rails db:migrate:reset`, which feels far from intuitive.

"Having some understanding of how airlines work has served me in good stead, but the first step is in learning to see collective systems as, well, collective systems. I'm part of it as a passenger, but so are the staff, whose behavior and flexibility within the system is likely even more constrained since their livelihood depends on it. I've only witnessed a "Do you know who I am?"-style meltdown at a gate a couple of times. They're rare because most adult humans, even when they're upset, do understand that their needs or desires don't outweigh those of a passenger jet full of people. It's the same idea as "You're not stuck in traffic, you are the traffic." We can consciously sidestep the narrative solipsism of thinking we must be the hero of the story (or that anyone is) and the attendant fallacy that the systems are there to serve us individually or specifically, rather than as part of a collective."

A few years ago I found out about a programming language written in #Gaeilge (the Irish language) called Setanta. I tinkered a little with it then but hit some road blocks and it seemed to have been left unsupported.
The creator Eoin Davey developed it when he was a teenager, later honed while studying computer science at NUI Maynooth in 2016.
Today I learned that it is still updated and there are some pretty great tutorials to have some fun with an IDE.
Setanta | Teanga Rรญomhchlarรบchรกin / Programming Language
Setanta - An teanga rรญomhchlarรบchรกin as Gaeilge - The Irish language Programming Language. Setanta is a modern, simple and friendly programming language that's 100% in Irish.try-setanta.ie
@yoel yes for sure but that also makes it a translation exercise from English to Irish, beginning with English-led (colonial) linguistic forms and traditions. There are many concepts in Irish (and every language) that don't easily translate into other languages so having a programming language built to a specific spoken language potentially opens the door to programming with these concepts.
A couple of the articles linked in the replies here write about this specifically, and better than I can.
