Podcasts about JQuery

Sam and Ryan share their thoughts on the latest server-centric developments taking place among React frameworks like Remix and Next.js. They discuss the declarative nature of HTML and HTTP, the evolution of frontend development from imperative libraries like jQuery to declarative libraries like React, why developers started creating SPAs in the first place, the power and limitations of server-side links and forms, whether the frontend community has overcomplicated web development, the problem with progressive enhancement, React Server Components, how server-centric approaches to building rich web experiences like Phoenix LiveView compare to the approaches in the React ecosystem, and other topics.Topics include:0:00 - Intro3:02 - The strengths of HTML and HTTP11:28 - Is frontend development overcomplicated?21:18 - Progressive enhancement33:33 - The nervous system of a web app46:00 - React Server Components53:46 - Server-side approachesLinks:My first Remix app on Build UI

ICYMI - MODERNIZING THROUGH EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTIONGuust NieuwenhuisJanuary 10, 2023 | 15:00 - 16:00 EST (1 hour)Our company has grown over a quarter of a century, and across those years we have matured as developers and IT companies, refining both our tools and practices to a degree that the past seems hardly recognizable. Counter to this are the inevitable compromises, products of constrained timeframes, limited client budgets or strained resources. Projects inevitably lean more towards growth and depth than general modernization, to the point that they become difficult to maintain. So, what happens when the bugs add up and the monster emerges? Refactor? Rewrite from scratch? We've been involved in many such projects, internally and inherited both, and have learned there is no simple answer to the question “how do we move forward?” Through case studies and anecdotes I will explain what to look out for, from both a technical and business perspective.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIZ0S-4WxDUICYMI - EASIER API DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING - USE POSTMAN, WEBHOOK.SITE, AND NGROK TO ENHANCE YOUR WORKFLOWDaniel GarciaJanuary 12, 2023 | 12:00 - 13:00 EST (1 hour)Postman, Webhook.site, and ngrok are great tools that can really enhance your API development and testing workflow. PostMan is a cross-platform API Testing Tool with lots of awesome features, Webhook.site allows you to easily inspect, test, and automate any incoming HTTP request or e-mails, and ngrok enables you to expose a web server running on your local machine to the internet. These are must-have tools for any API developer (either creating or consuming). In short, these tools solve problems and best of all, they all have free versions which allow you to be very productive. My goal is that after this conference, you will start using at least one, if not all three, tools when you get home. I'm not saying using these tools will be life-changing, but I am also not not saying that eitherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBgYHzPxDCsICYMI - LEVERAGING AI / COGNITIVE SERVICES VIA COLDFUSIONMichael HayesJanuary 17 | 12:00 - 13:00 pm EST (1 hour)Azure Cognitive Services is API that leverages AI and Machine Learning to provide capability such as Sentiment Analysis, Entity Recognition, Auto Translator, Text to Speech, speech translation, and many more. All this would be written in ColdFusion 2021 of course and a GIT repo of the code will be shared with the community. There may be a secondary package that will be shared that would convert PostMan / Swagger collections to ColdFusion for rapid development via API's.SPREADSHEET MAGICKevin WrightJanuary 19 | 12:00 - 13:00 pm EST (1 hour)Microsoft Office is the 'de facto' standard in most business environments.

The typical way in which we do this is to call createObject("java") and pass in a Java class name. Historically, I've tended to cache the returned Java class value, operating under the assumption that createObject() had a lot of overhead. But, I don't think I ever based this assumption on any concrete evidence. As such, I wanted to perform a trite performance exploration regarding the createObject() function in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4387-testing-performance-overhead-of-creating-java-classes-in-lucee-cfml.htmUpdates about using `createObject` with 3rd-party jars:https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-2952https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-4064 1/15/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Overriding Form Submission Properties Using Button Attributes In Native HTMLFor the last few weeks, I've been [very slowly] looking into the Hotwire framework from Basecamp. One of the guiding principles of Hotwire seems to be, "HTML has a bunch of great stuff, let's use it!" Case in point, I was reading through a Thoughtbot article on rendering live previews by Sean Doyle when I saw something that I had never seen before: submit buttons with form "action" and "method" attributes. Apparently, this has been supported by browsers going back to IE 10; but, since I've never seen it before, I wanted to try it out for myself in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4389-overriding-form-submission-properties-using-button-attributes-in-native-html.htm 1/14/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - CUID2 For ColdFusion / CFMLA couple of years ago, I built a ColdFusion port of the CUID library which we've been using successfully at InVision. The CUID library provides collision-resistant IDs that are optimized for horizontal scaling and performance. Just recently, however, Eric Elliott released Cuid2 - an updated version of the library intended to address some philosophical security issues. I wanted to create a ColdFusion port of his new Cuid2 library.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4388-cuid2-for-coldfusion-cfml.htm 1/16/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Dynamically Instrumenting ColdFusion Component Methods With GetTickCount() To Locate Performance BottlenecksColdFusion is a highly dynamic language. Which means, we can perform all manner of runtime mutations and reflections on our data structures and components. In fact, I've talked about this concept many times before, from applying StatsD metrics to creating tracked transactions in FusionReactor to adding retry logic around database access calls. All of these approaches use a variation on the same theme: generating proxy methods that add logic around lower-level component method execution. And today, in an effort to identify the performance bottlenecks in my CUID2 for ColdFusion implementation, I'm doing it again!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4390-dynamically-instrumenting-coldfusion-component-methods-with-gettickcount-to-locate-performance-bottlenecks.htmComment about performance on Ben's last post: https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4388-cuid2-for-coldfusion-cfml.htm#comments_54105 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 39 ColdFusion positions from 25 companies across 22 locations in 5 Countries.4 new jobs listed this weekFull Time - Cold Fusion Developer (REMOTE) - NASA Houstonhttps://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/MoriAssociates/743999877816700-cold-fusion-developer-remote-nasa-houston?trid=463ac537-35c8-4256-8fe4-47ea285de0a6Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United Kingdom Jan 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11544Full-Time - Web/ColdFusion Developer at isummation technologies - India Jan 14https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/WebColdFusion-Developer-at-India/11545Full-Time - Middle ColdFusion Developer at EPAM Systems - India Jan 17https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Middle-ColdFusion-Developer-at-India/11546Other Job LinksOrtus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers South of Shasta - https://southofshasta.com/blog/cfml-developer-wanted/ There is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the Weekqb 9.0.0-beta.1Lots of great features and bug fixes SQLite Grammar (Thanks to Jason Steinshouer) SQLCommenter Support (https://google.github.io/sqlcommenter/) Many bug fixes and performance improvements The docs are currently being updated: https://qb.ortusbooks.com/v/9.0.0https://www.forgebox.io/view/qb/version/9.0.0-beta.1VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekZen ModeZen Mode lets you focus on your code by hiding all UI except the editor (no Activity Bar, Status Bar, Side Bar and Panel), going to full screen and centering the editor layout.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2pc3qnq3 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Covid-19: "Kraken will soon be the most common type". covid 19: "is gearr go mbeidh Kraken ar an gcineál is coitianta". A new variant of Covid-19 that has emerged recently and is highly contagious is likely to become the most common strain in Ireland soon, according to Professor of Experimental Immunology Kingston Mills. Is dóichí go mbeidh athraitheach nua ar covid 19 atá tagtha chun cinn le deireanas agus atá fíorthógálach, go mbeidh sé ar an tréithchineál is coitianta in Éirinn gan mhoill, dar leis an Ollamh le hImdhíoneolaíocht Thurgnamhach Kingston Mills. The new strain is a sub-variant of the Omicron variant, christened XBB.1.5 - or Kraken in informal parlance. Is fo-athraitheach ar an athraitheach Oimicrón é an tréithchineál nua, a bhfuil XBB.1.5 - nó Kraken i gcaint neamhfhoirmiúil - baiste air. Speaking on RTÉ, Professor Mills pointed out, however, that Kraken is very different to Omicron. Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, thug an tOllamh Mills le fios, áfach, go bhfuil Kraken an-éagsúil le hOimicrón. The truth of the matter, he said, is that people who have taken Omicron before, are not immune - or completely immune - to the new strain. Is é fírinne an scéil, arsa sé, nach bhfuil daoine a tholg Oimicrón roimhe seo, nach bhfuil siad imdhíonta - nó iomlán imdhíonta - ar an tréithchineál nua. After that, he said, the bivalent vaccines that exist now are very effective and he advised everyone who has not yet received the vaccine to get it now. Ina dhiaidh sin, a dúirt sé, tá na vacsaíní défhiúsacha atá ann anois an-éifeachtach agus mhol sé do gach duine nach bhfuair an vacsaín fós é a fháil anois. Only five cases of the new strain have been recorded in Ireland so far. Níor taifeadadh in Éirinn go dtí seo ach cúig chás den tréithchineál nua. According to the latest figures, there are 573 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals across the country and 35 of them are in intensive care. De réir na bhfigiúirí is deireanaí, tá 573 othar le covid 19 in ospidéil ar fud na tíre agus tá 35 díobh faoi dhianchúram. Last week, the Director of the National Reference Service for Viruses Cillian de Gascún said that the behavior of people above all is the cause of the spread of the virus. An tseachtain seo caite, dúirt Stiúrthóir na Seirbhíse Tagartha Náisiúnta maidir le Víris Cillian de Gascún gurb é iompar daoine thar aon ní eile faoi deara scaipeadh an víris. Yesterday, Dr Marie Casey from the West Central Division of the Department of Health asked people to return to habits they are used to since the time of the pandemic and stay at home if they are sick, use hand sanitizer and wear masks. Inné, d'iarr an Dr Marie Casey ó Rannóg Iarthar Láir na Roinne Sláinte ar dhaoine filleadh ar nósanna a bhfuil siad cleachta leo ó aimsir na paindéime agus fanacht sa bhaile má tá siad tinn, leas a bhaint as díghalrán lámh agus maisc a chaitheamh.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2nf7s3td Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Wind forecast: great weather promised tomorrow. Fógra gaoithe: aimsir mhór geallta amárach. Met Éireann has warned that there may be power cuts and travel disruptions due to the high winds that are expected in parts of the country tomorrow. Tá foláireamh tugtha ag Met Éireann go mb'fhéidir go ngearrfaí an chumhacht agus go gcuirfí as do chúrsaí taisitil mar gheall ar an ngaoth mhór atá geallta in áiteanna sa tír amárach. The wind warning issued by the meteorologists has a yellow status and will apply, they say, between 5 o'clock tomorrow morning and 2 o'clock Friday morning. Stádas buí atá ag an bhfógra gaoithe atá eisithe ag na meitéareolaithe agus beidh feidhm leis, a deir siad, idir 5 a chlog ar maidin amárach agus 2 a chlog ar maidin Dé hAoine. The wind will come from the west and it will be strongest in the west of the country at the beginning of the day. Ón aird aniar a thiocfas an ghaoth agus is in iarthar na tíre is láidre a bheas sí i dtús an lae. It will be a showery day in the west, especially along the coast in the north- west. Déanfaidh sé lá scuabach san iarthar, go háirithe cois cósta san iarthuaisceart. Tomorrow evening the wind will be strongest in the east. Tráthnóna amárach is láidre a bheas an ghaoth san oirthear. It is said that there was never a rain without a shower and a whole other announcement has been issued for Munster this evening. Deirtear nach raibh fearthainn riamh gan a fras agus tá fógra eile ar fad eisithe i gcomhair Chúige Mumhan tráthnóna. It is a yellow warning of rain and wind that will apply between 6 o'clock in the evening and midnight. Fógra buí báistí agus gaoithe atá ann a mbeidh feidhm leis idir 6 a chlog tráthnóna agus an meán oíche. There will be heavy rain and a speed of up to 110 kilometers per hour could be under some of the sheets. Beidh báisteach throm ann agus d'fhéadfadh luas suas le 110 ciliméadar san uair a bheith faoi chuid de na siotaí. There might be flooding in places as well. B'fhéidir go mbeadh tuilte in áiteanna chomh maith. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2nn39eom Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Government to look at buying flats before they are built. Rialtas le breathnú ar árasáin a cheannach sula dtógfaí iad. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien hosted a conference on the housing crisis which took place in Government Houses today. Bhí an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar agus an tAire Tithíochta Darragh O'Brien ina n- óstaigh ar chomhdháil maidir leis an ngéarchéim tithíochta a bhí ar siúl i dTithe an Rialtais inniu. Different dreamers who have a voice on the issue participated in the conference - such as builders, developers, academics and organizations that help the homeless. Dreamanna éagsúla a bhfuil guthaíocht acu ar an gceist a bhí rannpháirteach sa chomhdháil - leithéidí tógálaithe, forbróirí, acadóirí agus eagraíochtaí a chuidíonn le daoine gan dídean. The main topic of the conference was the Government's housing strategy and above all, it was said, new ways to speed up its implementation were discussed. Ba é straitéis tithíochta an Rialtais príomhábhar na comhdhála agus thar aon rud eile, a dúradh, pléadh bealaí nua le dlús a chur lena chur i bhfeidhm. Developers have received planning permission to build 70,000 apartments in various towns and cities in the country, and after the conference the Taoiseach said that the Government would remember to buy thousands of them (according to the architects' drawings) in the hope that they would be taken without delay. Tá cead pleanála faighte ag forbróirí le 70,000 árasán a thógáil i mbailte agus i gcathracha éagsúla sa tír, agus i ndiaidh na comhdhála dúirt an Taoiseach go gcuimhneodh an Rialtas ar na mílte acu a cheannach (de réir líníochtaí na n-ailtirí) le súil go dtógfaí iad gan aon mhoill. Sinn Féin's housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin, however, claimed that the conference was proof of the ineffectiveness of the Government's housing strategy. Mhaígh urlabhraí tithíochta Shinn Féin Eoin Ó Broin, áfach, gur cruthú ar mhí-éifeacht straitéis tithíochta an Rialtais a bhí sa chomhdháil. He said rent, house prices and the number of homeless people have never been as high as they are now. Dúirt sé nach raibh cíos, praghsanna tithe ná an líon daoine atá gan dídean chomh hard riamh agus atá faoi láthair. According to the latest figures, 11,500 people are homeless, a record number. De réir na bhfigiúirí is deireanaí, tá 11,500 duine gan dídean, an líon is mó riamh. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

Projects inevitably lean more towards growth and depth than general modernization, to the point that they become difficult to maintain. So, what happens when the bugs add up and the monster emerges? Refactor? Rewrite from scratch? We've been involved in many such projects, internally and inherited both, and have learned there is no simple answer to the question “how do we move forward?” Through case studies and anecdotes I will explain what to look out for, from both a technical and business perspective.EASIER API DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING - USE POSTMAN, WEBHOOK.SITE, AND NGROK TO ENHANCE YOUR WORKFLOWDaniel GarciaJanuary 12, 2023 | 12:00 - 13:00 EST (1 hour)Postman, Webhook.site, and ngrok are great tools that can really enhance your API development and testing workflow. PostMan is a cross-platform API Testing Tool with lots of awesome features, Webhook.site allows you to easily inspect, test, and automate any incoming HTTP request or e-mails, and ngrok enables you to expose a web server running on your local machine to the internet. These are must-have tools for any API developer (either creating or consuming). In short, these tools solve problems and best of all, they all have free versions which allow you to be very productive. My goal is that after this conference, you will start using at least one, if not all three, tools when you get home. I'm not saying using these tools will be life-changing, but I am also not not saying that eitherLEVERAGING AI / COGNITIVE SERVICES VIA COLDFUSIONMichael HayesJanuary 17 | 12:00 - 13:00 pm EST (1 hour)Azure Cognitive Services is API that leverages AI and Machine Learning to provide capability such as Sentiment Analysis, Entity Recognition, Auto Translator, Text to Speech, speech translation, and many more. All this would be written in ColdFusion 2021 of course and a GIT repo of the code will be shared with the community. There may be a secondary package that will be shared that would convert PostMan / Swagger collections to ColdFusion for rapid development via API's.SPREADSHEET MAGICKevin WrightJanuary 19 | 12:00 - 13:00 pm EST (1 hour)Microsoft Office is the 'de facto' standard in most business environments. In this session we will look at different ways of integrating with one of the most used applications of the MS office suite, Excel. Come learn how to create, access and manipulate spreadsheets programmatically with the CFSPREADSHEET tag in ColdFusion. We will go beyond basic read and write features, and will delve into more advanced techniques like working with formulas and formatting, and creating multiple sheets. We will also look at examples of more complex types of spreadsheets by using lookups and even creating and embedding dynamic charts.

It's a fascinating framework (from Basecamp) that forces you to think about web fundamentals and how to progressively enhance the user experience (UX). This morning, I ran into an issue trying to get Turbo Drive to work with HTTP Form submissions. It turns out, Turbo Drive requires non-2xx status codes to be returned in response to a failed form submission in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4385-hotwire-turbo-drive-requires-failed-form-submissions-to-return-a-non-2xx-status-code.htm 1/9/23 - Blog - Maria Jose Herrera - CBWIRE 2.2 ReleasedWe're excited to announce the release of CBWIRE 2.2.

That post was more a look at the available syntax options with a variadic function and less a look at the actual Array flattening algorithm. And, it only flattened to a single depth. As a fast-follow, I wanted to look at what it would take to recursively flatten a deep array, with nested array elements, in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4384-code-kata-recursively-flattening-a-deep-array-in-lucee-cfml.htm  1/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Iterating Over Function Arguments Using CFLoop In Lucee CFMLIn my previous post on flattening arrays in ColdFusion, I mentioned that the arguments scope in a Function body acts as both an Array and a Struct. This is a truly great feature of ColdFusion; but, iterating over such a dynamic data structure can be confusing at times. Luckily, ColdFusion also gives us the highly dynamic CFLoop tag. We can use CFLoop to iterate over the arguments scope using either Array iteration or Struct iteration.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4383-iterating-over-function-arguments-using-cfloop-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Code Kata: Flattening An Array In Lucee CFMLYesterday, at InVision, I was writing an algorithm in which I needed to build several one-dimensional arrays. And, in some cases, I was using all simple values; but, in other cases, I was using a mixture of simple values and other arrays. To keep my calling code clean, I abstracted the logic into a flattenArray() method that would take N-arguments and then smoosh all of those arguments down into a single array. The method I created worked fine, but it just didn't look "right". I wasn't vibing it. As such, I wanted to step back and try creating a flatten method with a variety of different syntaxes to see which strikes the right balance between simplicity, elegance, and readability (which is all highly subjective).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4382-code-kata-flattening-an-array-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/6/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Hotwire Turbo Drive Doesn't Work With .cfm Page ExtensionsOver the holiday break, I had this grand vision of building a ColdFusion site and then adding Hotwire (HTML Over The Wire) to it as a progressive enhancement. Unfortunately, it took me all of break just to get the ColdFusion parts written (I chose a poor problem space). And then, when I finally installed Hotwire and tried to use Turbo Drive, nothing happened. Every link and form submission lead to a full page refresh. After a few hours of Googling, I discovered that Hotwire Turbo Drive doesn't work with .cfm file extensions.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4381-hotwire-turbo-drive-doesnt-work-with-cfm-page-extensions.htm 1/5/23 - Tweet - Lucee Script Runner@BenNadel just listening to @WorkingCodePod, reckon you should try my github.com/lucee/script-r… for your CI with github, it's so f-ing easyhttps://twitter.com/zackster/status/1611050555308232704 https://twitter.com/zackster CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 39 ColdFusion positions from 25 companies across 22 locations in 5 Countries.1 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United Kingdom Jan 03https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11543 Other Job Links Ortus Solutions https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers  South of Shasta - https://southofshasta.com/blog/cfml-developer-wanted/  There is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the box team slack now too ForgeBox Module of the WeekCommandBox dotenvStoring secrets in source-controlled files is a bad idea, but we still need some way to provide these sensitive credentials or configuration values to our projects.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2n84xp5l Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Crisis in hospitals alleviated "thanks to the staff". Géarchéim in ospidéil maolaithe "a bhuí leis an bhfoireann". The co-leader of the Social Democrats Róisín Shortall said that it is a shame that weeks ago all the resources of the health system were used to tackle the crisis in the country's hospital emergency departments. Dúirt comhcheannaire na nDaonlathaithe Sóisialta Róisín Shortall gur mór an náire nár baineadh leas seachtainí ó shin as acmhainní uile an chórais sláinte le dul i ngleic leis an ngéarchéim i ranna éigeandála ospidéil na tíre. The crisis is said to have eased considerably over the weekend after hospitals discharged hundreds of patients and many of those on trolleys were placed in beds in wards. Deirtear gur mhaolaigh an ghéarchéim go mór i gcaitheamh an deireadh seachtaine tar éis do na hospidéil na céadta othar a scaoileadh amach agus go leor den dream a bhí ar thralaithe a chur i leapacha i mbardaí. Over 400 patients were discharged from hospitals last Saturday compared to 278 the previous Saturday, which is a 44% reduction. Barr ar 400 othar a scaoileadh amach as ospidéil Dé Sathairn seo caite i gcomórtas le 278 an Satharn roimhe sin, ar dífear 44 faoin gcéad é. The Health Service Executive says that it was thanks to the large number of staff who worked extra shifts that it was possible to discharge so many patients from the hospitals. Deir Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte gur a bhuí leis an líon mór ball foirne a rinne sealanna breise oibre a bhíothas in ann an oiread sin othar a scaoileadh amach as na hospidéil. In fact, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly thanked the staff for the extra work they did for the benefit of the patients. Go deimhin, ghabh an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly buíochas leis an bhfoireann as an obair bhreise a rinne siad ar son leas na n-othar. It is understood that some of the patients who were discharged from the hospitals were sent to private hospitals; that others were placed in step-down recovery beds; and that the rest were discharged home, where they are being provided with the care services they need. Tuigtear gur cuireadh cuid de na hothair a scaoileadh amach as na hospidéil, gur cuireadh iad in ospidéil phríobháideacha; gur cuireadh cuid eile acu i leapacha téarnaimh céim síos; agus gur scaoileadh an chuid eile abhaile, mar a bhfuil na seirbhísí cúraim a theastaíonn uathu á gcur ar fáil dóibh. It is a shame, however, according to Róisín Shortall, that this gum was not planted weeks ago. Is údar náire é mar sin féin, dar le Róisín Shortall, nár cuireadh an gúm seo i gcion seachtainí ó shin. She suggested that the cause of the ineffectiveness is a disagreement between the Health Service Function and the Department of Health about who is responsible for resolving the issue. Thug sí le tuiscint gur easaontas idir Fheidhmeanacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte agus an Roinn Sláinte faoi cé acu atá freagrach as an gceist a réiteach is cúis leis an mí-éifeacht. Ultimately, however, she claimed, the Minister of Health is responsible for it. Ar deireadh, áfach, a mhaígh sí, is é an tAire Sláinte atá freagrach as. Speaking on RTÉ, Róisín Shortall said that everyone is putting the bag from their own home and that an integrated approach can be implemented. Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ, duirt Róisín Shortall go mbíonn gach dream ag cur an phúca ón dteach féin agus gur mithid cur chuige comhtháite a chur i bhfeidhm. Without that, she says, the crisis in the country's hospitals is a vicious circle without stopping. Dá uireasa sin, ar sí, is fáinne fí gan stad a bheas sa ghéarchéim in ospidéil na tíre. A scheme is being launched today whereby some people who are struck ill in Co Clare will be taken to the local hospital in Ennis rather than to Limerick University Hospital, where there is huge pressure.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2n4959u6 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI buried in Peter's Basilica. An Pápa Emeritus Beinidict XVI curtha i mBaisleac Pheadair. The Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was buried among the Popes in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican today. Cuireadh an Pápa Emeritus Beinidict XVI i measc Ulacha na bPápaí i mBaisleac Pheadair sa Vatacáin inniu. Thousands of people who came from all over the world were present at the Holy Mass of Pope Benedict - Joseph Ratzinger, as he was baptized - in Peter's Square this morning. Bhí na mílte duine a tháinig as gach cearn den domhan i láthair ag Aifreann Éagnairce an Phápa Beinidict - Joseph Ratzinger, mar a baisteadh é - i gCearnóg Pheadair ar maidin. His successor Pope Francis II read the Mass with Benedict's bare cypress coffin in front of him. Is é a chomharba an Pápa Proinsias II a léigh an tAifreann agus cónra lom cufróige Bheinidict os a chomhair amach. In his address, Pope Francis said that Benedict was a faithful friend of Christ "who has given us wisdom, praise and charity throughout the years". Ina aitheasc, dúirt an Pápa Proinsias gur cara dílis Chríost a bhí i mBeinidict "a bhronn gaois, búíocht agus caoindúthracht orainn i gcaitheamh na mblianta". "May you hear His Voice (Christ) now and forever!" which Francis prayed to his predecessor. "Go gcloise tú A Ghlór (Críost) anois agus go deo!" a ghuigh Proinsias ar a réamhtheachtaí. "Father, I commit my spirit to your hand", said Francis on behalf of Benedict and the last words of Jesus on the gallows according to Luke as his quote. "A Athair, taobhaím mo spiorad i leith do lámh", arsa Proinsias thar ceann Bheinidict agus rá deiridh Íosa ar an gCroich de réir Lúcáis mar athfhriotal aige. 124 cardinals, 200 bishops and 3,700 priests were also involved in the ceremony. Bhí 124 cairdinéal, 200 easpag agus 3,700 sagart páirteach sa searmanas chomh maith. Mary Maguire from Letterkenny, Co Donegal, read the Second Lecture at Aifreann Éagnairce. Is í Mary Maguire as Leitir Ceanainn, Co Dún na nGall, a léigh an Dara Léacht ag Aifreann Éagnairce. After the Mass, the coffin was brought into the Basilica, where a zinc case was placed over it before it was placed in yet another coffin. Tar éis an Aifrinn, tugadh an chónra isteach sa Bhaisleac, mar ar cuireadh cás since uirthi sular cuireadh i gcónra eile fós í. It was not just a solemn occasion, however. Ní ócáid shollúnta amháin a bhí ann, áfach. Tight security was in place around the Vatican and over 1,000 police officers were on duty there during the Mass. Bhí dianslándáil i bhfeidhm thart ar an Vatacáin agus bhí barr ar 1,000 póilín ar dualgas san áit le linn an Aifrinn. Pope Emeritus Benedict died last Saturday in the monastery of Mater Ecclesiae in the Vatican, where he had lived for ten years. Bhásaigh an Pápa Emeritus Beinidict Dé Sathairn seo caite i mainistir Mater Ecclesiae sa Vatacáin, áit a raibh cónaí air le deich mbliana. He was 95 years old. Bhí sé 95 bliain d'aois. He was Pope between 2005 and 2013, when he unexpectedly resigned due to health reasons. Bhí sé ina Phápa idir 2005 agus 2013, tráth a d'éirigh sé as gan choinne ar chúinsí sláinte. Pope Francis himself is not in the best of health and was brought before the crowd at Mass today in a wheelchair. Níl an Pápa Proinsias é féin i mbarr a shláinte agus tugadh os comhair an tslua ag an Aifreann inniu é i gcathaoir rothaí. He kept himself upright for a while with a crutch. Choinnigh sé é féin ina sheasamh ar feadh scaithimh le maide croise. Proinsisas hinted last summer that he might resign if he was not able to fulfill his duties in the future. Thug Proinsisas le tuiscint an samhradh seo caite go mb'fhéidir go n-éireodh sé féin as mura mbeadh sé in araíocht a chuid dualgas a chomhall feasta. Pope Benedict's Anarchy Mass in the Vatican

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2z6srlqo Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Concerns about sweets containing cannabis-like substances. Imní faoi mhilseáin a bhfuil ábhar cosúil le cannabas iontu. The Health Service Executive and the Gardai have issued a notice in relation to sweets which are thought to contain a substance similar to cannabis. Tá fógra eisithe ag Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte agus na Gardaí maidir le milseáin a gceaptar go bhfuil ábhar cosúil le cannabas iontu. The sweets in question are jellies in packets. Glóthóga i bpaicéid na milseáin atá i gceist. The Health Service Executive says the sweets contain synthetic cannabinoids and some people in Tipperary had to be hospitalized last month after eating them. Deir Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte go bhfuil cannaibionóidigh shintéiseacha sna milseáin agus go mb'éigean roinnt daoine i dTiobraid Árann a chur in ospidéal an mhí seo caite tar éis dóibh iad a ithe. Synthetic cannabinoids are man-made chemicals that mimic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. Ceimiceáin shaorga is ea cannaibionóidigh shintéiseacha a dhéanann aithris ar theitrihidreacannaibionól (THC), an príomhábhar sícighníomhach atá i gcannabas. In fact, synthetic cannabinoids can be stronger than THC. Go deimhin, is féidir le cannaibionóidigh shintéiseacha a bheith níos láidre ná THC. Gardaí say they recently found a large quantity of the gels in Clonmel, Co Tipperary. Deir na Gardaí go bhfuair siad lear mór de na glóthóga i gCluain Meala, Co Thiobraid Árann, le gairid. The Executive is concerned that other products containing these strong cannabinoids are also on sale in Ireland, such as vaping oil and herbal material, for example. Tá imní ar an bhFeidhmeannacht go bhfuil táirgí eile a bhfuil na cannaibionóidigh láidre seo iontu ar díol in Éirinn chomh maith, leithéidí ola vápála agus ábhar luibhe, cuir i gcás. Nausea, vomiting, confusion, shortness of breath, chest pain, hallucinations, psychotic attacks, urge to attack, loss of consciousness and so on are some of the effects of ingesting synthetic cannabinoids. Masmas, fonn urlacain, mearbhall, gearranáil, pian sa chliabhrach, speabhraídí, taomanna síocóise, fonn ionsaithe, cailliúint comhfheasa agus mar sin díobh cuid de na hiarmhairtí a bhaineann le cannaibionóidigh shintéiseacha a ionghabháil.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2ovgxy4a Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Nurses union to discuss industrial action. Ceardchumann altraí le gníomhaíocht thionsclaíoch a phlé. The Irish Nurses and Aides Association is to allow its members to take industrial action in light of the health crisis in the country's hospitals. Tá Cumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann leis na baill a cheadú faoi ghníomhaíocht thionsclaíoch i bhfianaise na géarchéime sláinte in ospidéil na tíre. The union will hold information and consultation meetings with the members from now on for the next month to investigate the situation. Reáchtáilfidh an ceardchumann cruinnithe eolais agus comhairlithe leis na baill as seo go ceann míosa chun an scéal a chíoradh. The union says this week has been the worst week ever in terms of hospital overcrowding. Deir an ceardchumann go raibh an tseachtain seo ar an tseachtain ba mheasa riamh i dtaca le róphlódú sna hospidéil de. It is necessary, say the nurses, to introduce new legislation and also establish other structures to ensure that the appropriate number of staff will be on duty in the hospitals and that the staff will have the appropriate mix of skills, especially in times of emergency. Ní mór, a deir na haltraí, reachtaíocht nua a thabhairt isteach agus struchtúir eile a bhunú freisin lena chinntiú go mbeidh an líon cuí foirne ar dualgas sna hospidéil agus go mbeidh an meascán cuí scileanna ag an bhfoireann, go háirithe in am na héigeandála. General Secretary of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association Phil Ní Sheaghdha claimed that - without any hesitation - the number of falls in hospitals this week could have been avoided. Mhaígh Ard-Rúnaí Chumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann Phil Ní Sheaghdha go bhféadfaí - gan agó ar bith - ar thit amach sna hospidéil an tseachtain seo a sheachaint. Nurses have been warning for a long time that it would be a disaster in hospitals this month if action was not taken, she said. Tá foláireamh á thabhairt ag altraí le fada fada an lá go mbeadh sé ina chíor thuathail sna hospidéil an mhí seo mura ndéanfaí beart, arsa sí. Her colleague, Nurses Association President Karen McGowan, said it was impossible to safely care for patients in overcrowded hospitals, especially with widespread respiratory disease at present. Dúirt a comhghleacaí, Uachtarán Chumann na nAltraí Karen McGowan, dúirt sí go raibh sé dodhéanta cúram a dhéanamh go sábháilte d'othair in ospidéil atá plódaithe, go háirithe agus galair riospráide fairsing mar atá faoi láthair. She claimed that nurses and midwives are deeply disturbed by what they have seen in hospitals every day this week. Mhaígh sí go bhfuil altraí agus mná cabhrach suaite go mór de bharr a bhfaca siad sna hospidéil gach uile lá an tseachtain seo. Their anxiety, however, is not visible in the shadow of the patients' anxiety, said Karen McGowan, and she drew attention to the delay caused by the rush of work and the chaos in the hospitals on the healing of patients. Ní léir a n-anrósan, áfach, ar scáth anró na n-othar, arsa Karen McGowan, agus tharraing sí aird ar an moill a chuireann an bhroid oibre agus an t-anord sna hospidéil ar chneasú othar.

"Seachtar cúisithe" faoin ionsaí inar maraíodh Seán Rooney. It is reported that the authorities in Lebanon have charged seven people with being involved in the attack in that country last month which killed Irish soldier Seán Rooney. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil seachtar cúisithe ag na húdaráis sa Liobáin faoi pháirt a bheith acu san ionsaí sa tír sin an mhí seo caite ar maraíodh saighdiúir Éireannach Seán Rooney dá bharr. Private Soldier Rooney, who was 23 years old, was killed when the armored vehicle he was driving was fired upon near the village of Al-Aqbiya in southern Lebanon on 14 December. Maraíodh an Saighdiúir Singil Rooney, a bhí 23 bliain d'aois, nuair a rinneadh ionsaí lámhaigh ar an bhfeithicil armúrtha a bhí sé a thiomáint gar do shráidbhaile Al-Aqbiya i ndeisceart na Liobáine ar an 14 Nollaig. The village is in an area under the control of the armed party Hezbollah. Tá an sráidbhaile i gceantar atá faoi smacht an pháirtí armtha Hezbollah. Three other soldiers were injured and one of them - Private Shane Kearney - remains seriously ill. Gortaíodh triúr saighdiúirí eile agus tá duine acu - an Saighdiúir Singil Shane Kearney - fós go dona tinn. The soldiers were on peacekeeping duty with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon and were on their way to the capital Beirut when they were attacked. Bhí na saighdiúirí ar dualgas síochána le Fórsa Eatramhach na Náisiún Aontaithe sa Liobáin agus bhí siad ar a mbealach go dtí an phríomhchathair Béiriút nuair a hionsaíodh iad. Of the seven accused, only one is understood to be in custody after Hezbollah handed him over to the Lebanese Army last month. As an seachtar atá cúisithe, tuigtear nach bhfuil ach duine amháin acu faoi choinneáil tar éis do Hezbollah é a thabhairt ar láimh d'Arm na Liobáine an mhí seo caite. It is reported that that person is accused of throwing a machine gun at the soldiers. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil an té sin cúisithe sna saighdiúirí a chaitheamh le meaisínghunna. The other six - who were called "fugitives" - are accused of "making threats with an illegal weapon, destroying an armored vehicle belonging to the United Nations and intimidating the people in the vehicle".

Dochtúirí comhairleacha míshásta le moladh an Aire Sláinte. The lack of beds in hospitals and the shortage of consultant doctors is the cause of the current crisis in the health system, according to Professor Matthew Sadlier from the Irish Doctors' Union. An easpa leapacha in ospidéil agus an gannntanas dochtúirí comhairleacha is siocair leis an ngéarchéim atá sa chóras sláinte faoi láthair, dar leis an Ollamh Matthew Sadlier ó Cheardchumann Dochtúirí na hÉireann. He said that the crisis is a vicious circle and claimed that the lack of capital investment in the health system is actually the cause of the evil. Dúirt sé gur fáinne fí atá sa ghéarchéim agus mhaígh gurb é an easpa infheistíochta caipitiúla sa chóras sláinte is cionsiocair i ndáiríre leis an olc. Professor Sadlier was responding to Health Minister Stephen Donnelly who said yesterday that the Health Service Executive would be asking consultant doctors to work at weekends to alleviate overcrowding in hospital emergency units. Ag tabhairt freagra a bhí an tOllamh Sadlier ar an Aire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly a dúirt inné go mbeadh Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte ag iarraidh ar dhochtúirí comhairleacha dul ag obair ar an deireadh seachtaine chun an róphlódú in aonaid éigeandála na n-ospidéal a mhaolú. Stephen Donnelly pointed out that the situation could worsen if such measures were not implemented soon. Thug Stephen Donnelly le fios go bhféadfadh an scéal dul in olcas mura gcuirfí bearta den sórt sin i bhfeidhm gan mhoill. However, Professor Sadlier claimed that consultant doctors were already putting in extra hours - far more than usual, in fact - and were available all day every day of the week. Mhaígh an tOllamh Sadlier, áfach, go raibh dochtúirí comhairleacha ag cur isteach uaireanta breise cheana féin - i bhfad níos mó ná mar is gnách, go deimhin - agus go raibh siad ar fáil an lá ar fad gach lá den tseachtain. He added that they are on duty according to a structured roster on weekends. Dúirt sé freisin go mbíonn siad ar dualgas de réir uainchláir struchtúrtha ar an deireadh seachtaine. The Irish Nurses and Aides Association has revealed that there are 639 people waiting for a bed in hospitals across the country today, which is 199 less than yesterday but 83% more than the same day last year. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag Cumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann go bhfuil 639 duine ag fanacht le leaba in ospidéil ar fud na tíre inniu, sin 199 níos lú ná inné ach 83 faoin gcéad níos mó ná an lá céanna anuraidh. 473 of the 639 patients are in emergency units and the other 166 are in other wards, according to the nurses. Tá 473 den 639 othar in aonaid éigeandála agus tá an 166 eile i mbardaí eile, dar leis na haltraí. The nurses and the Health Service Executive are not in agreement about this situation, however. Níl na haltraí agus Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte ar aon fhocal faoin scéal seo, ámh. According to the figures released by the Executive, 469 people are waiting for a bed in hospitals. De réir na bhfigiúirí atá eisithe ag an bhFeidhmeannacht, is 469 duine atá ag fanacht le leaba sna hospidéil.

Praghsanna tithe 7.7 uair níos airde ná ioncam teaghlach. A new report reveals that house prices are 7.7 times higher than the average annual household income, the biggest gap since 2009. Tugtar le fios i dtuarascáil nua go bhfuil praghsanna tithe 7.7 uair níos airde ná ioncam bliantúil an ghnáth-theaghlaigh, an bhearna is mó ó 2009. On average, a residential home cost €370,000 and the average annual income of a typical family was €48,000 in the last quarter of 2022, according to figures provided by the MyHome.ie website. €370,000 ar an meán a bhí ar áras cónaithe agus €48,000 a bhí i meánioncam bliantúil an ghnáth-theaghlaigh sa ráithe dheireanach de 2022, de réir na bhfigiúirí atá curtha ar fáil ag lucht an tsuímh ghréasáin MyHome.ie. The chief economist of the financial company Davy, Conall MacCoille, compiled the report. Is é príomheacnamaí an chomhlachta airgeadais Davy, Conall Mac Coille, a chuir an tuarascáil i dtoll a chéile. He claimed that the gap could widen further since the Central Bank of Ireland allowed people to take out mortgages of up to four times their annual income. Mhaígh sé go bhféadfadh an bhearna méadú tuilleadh ó cheadaigh Banc Ceannais na hÉireann do dhaoine morgáistí suas le ceithre huaire níos airde ná a n-ioncam bliantúil a thógáil amach. MacCoille said that it is currently estimated that there will be a 4% rise in house prices this year but that decision by the Central Bank could increase it. Dúirt Mac Coille go meastar faoi láthair go mbeidh ardú 4 faoin gcéad ar phraghsanna tithe i mbliana ach go bhféadfadh cinneadh sin an Bhainc Ceannais cur leis. Speaking on RTÉ, Senator Mary Fitzpatrick from Fianna Fáil said that the Government is doing everything they can to provide social housing and affordable housing. Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ, dúirt an Seanadóir Mary Fitzpatrick ó Fhianna Fáil go bhfuil an Rialtas ag déanamh gach ar féidir leo le tithíocht shóisialta agus tithíocht inacmhainne a chur ar fáil. Under the Government's plan called Housing for All, she said, more houses were built in one year than in the previous ten years. Faoi phlean an Rialtais dá ngairtear Tithíocht do Chách, arsa sí, tógadh níos mó tithe le bliain ná mar a tógadh sna deich mbliana roimhe sin. Sinn Féin's housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin, however, said that anyone who believes that the Government's plan is succeeding would have to be delusional. Dúirt urlabhraí tithíochta Shinn Féin Eoin Ó Broin, áfach, go gcaithfeadh sé go bhfuil speabhraídí ar aon duine a chreideann go bhfuil ag éirí le plean an Rialtais.

Corp an Phápa Emeritus Beinidict ina luí faoi ghradam stáit. Thousands of Catholics are flocking to the Vatican today to pay their respects to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI whose body lies in state honor in St Peter's Basilica. Tá na mílte Caitliceach ag triall ar an Vatacáin inniu chun ómós a thabhairt don Phápa Emeritus Beinidict XVI a bhfuil a chorp ina luí faoi ghradam stáit i mBaisleac Pheadair. The Pope Emeritus died yesterday in the monastery of Mater Ecclesiae in the Vatican, where he had lived for ten years. Bhásaigh an Pápa Emeritus arú inné i mainistir Mater Ecclesiae sa Vatacáin, áit a raibh cónaí air le deich mbliana. He was 95 years old. Bhí sé 95 bliain d'aois. He was Pope between 2005 and 2013, when he unexpectedly resigned due to health reasons. Bhí sé ina Phápa idir 2005 agus 2013, tráth a d'éirigh sé as gan choinne ar chúinsí sláinte. Benedict was the first Pope to resign in 600 years. Ba é Beinidict an chéad Phápa a d'éirigh as le 600 bliain. His body will lie in state honor from here on for the next three days and will be buried on Thursday among the Pope's Urns in Peter's Basilica. Beidh a chorp ina luí faoi ghradam stáit as seo go ceann trí lá agus cuirfear é Déardaoin i measc Ulacha na bPápaí i mBaisleac Pheadair. A Vatican spokesman said it was a "solemn but simple" mass. Dúirt urlabhraí ón Vatacáin gur tórramh "sollúnta ach simplí" a bheas ann. It has not yet been said which prelates and dignitaries will be present at the solemn Mass, but it has been confirmed that the Irish Ambassador to the Holy See Frances Collins will be among them. Ní dúradh fós cé na préaláidí agus na huaisle a bheas i láthair ag an Aifreann éagnairce, ach tá sé deimhnithe go mbeidh Ambasadóir na hÉireann sa Suí Naofa Frances Collins ina measc. A million people were present at the funeral of Pope John Paul II in 2005, both nobility and common people, but it is said that the people did not have as much respect for Benedict. Bhí milliún duine i láthair ag sochraid an Phápa Eoin Pól II in 2005, idir uaisleacht agus choitiantacht, ach deirtear nach raibh an oiread gnaoi ag na daoine ar Bheinidict. He was a caring pope who stood the traditional way, but other churchmen and a large part of the flock were not happy with the way he dealt with various crises, including the abuse of children in the Catholic Church. Pápa caomhach a sheas an fód traidisiúnta a bhí ann ach ní raibh eaglaisigh eile ná cuid mhór den tréad sásta leis an gcaoi a ndeachaigh sé i ngleic le géarchéimeanna éagsúla, mí-úsáid leanaí san Eaglais Chaitliceach ina measc. His successor - Pope Francis - has paid tribute to Pope Emeritus Benedict. Tá ómós tugtha ag a chomharba - an Pápa Proinsiais - don Phápa Emeritus Beinidict. He said he was a faithful servant of the Gospel and the Church. Dúirt sé gur searbhónta dílis an tSoiscéil agus na hEaglaise a bhí ann. Pope Francis himself is not in the best of health, and he hinted last summer that he might resign if he was not able to fulfill his duties in the future. Níl an Pápa Proinsias é féin i mbarr a shláinte, agus thug sé le tuiscint an samhradh seo caite go mb'fhéidir go n-éireodh sé féin as mura mbeadh sé in araíocht a chuid dualgas a chomhall feasta.

An Chróit níos rannpháirtí san Aontas Eorpach ó inniu. Two major new policies apply in Croatia from today which make the country even more closely related to the European Union than it has been until now. Tá feidhm sa Chróit ó inniu le dhá mhórbheartas nua a fhágann go bhfuil an tír níos dlúthbhaintí fós leis an Aontas Eorpach ná mar a bhí go dtí seo. The euro has been the official currency of Croatia since midnight and it is now one of only a handful of countries participating in the eurozone. Is é an euro airgeadra oifigiúil na Cróite ón meán oíche agus tá sí anois ar cheann de scór tíortha atá páirteach sa limistéar euro. In addition, Croatia is now one of the 27 European countries participating in the Schengen Agreement. Chomh maith leis sin, tá an Chróit anois ar cheann den 27 tír Eorpach atá páirteach i gComhaontú Schengen. Citizens of those countries have free travel permission in each other's countries, according to the Schengen Agreement. Tá saorchead taistil ag saóranaigh na dtíortha sin i dtíortha a chéile, de réir Chomhaontú Schengen. Croatia has been a member state of the European Union for ten years and it is claimed that it would be better able to fight inflation now that it is participating in the eurozone. Tá an Chróit ina ballstát den Aontas Eorpach le deich mbliana agus maítear gur fearr a bheas sí in ann dul i ngleic leis an mboilsciú anois ó tá sí rannpháirteach sa limistéar euro. But as with other European countries, food and fuel prices in Croatia have risen dramatically since Russia invaded Ukraine ten months ago. Ach an oiread le tíortha eile na hEorpa, tá praghsanna bia agus breosla sa Chróit ardaithe as cuimse ó rinne an Rúis ionradh ar an Úcráin deich mí ó shin. The inflation rate in Croatia was 13.5% in November, compared to 10% in the euro area. 13.5 faoin gcéad a bhí sa ráta boilscithe sa Chróit i mí na Samhna, i gcomórtas le 10 faoin gcéad sa limistéar euro. However, many people in Croatia believe that the major European countries - France and Germany in particular - will benefit the most from Croatia's membership in the eurozone. Mar sin féin, creideann go leor daoine sa Chróit gurb iad tíortha móra na Eorpa - an Fhrainc agus an Ghearmáin go háirithe - gurb iad na tíortha sin is mó a bhainfeas tairbhe as ballraíocht na Cróite sa limistéar euro. On the contrary, the hospitality sector is very happy with the free travel permit and it is expected that there will be a renewed boom in tourism in Croatia because of it. Os a choinne sin, tá an earnáil fáilteachtais an-sásta leis an saorchead taistil agus táthar ag súil go mbeidh borradh as an nua faoin turasóireacht sa Chróit dá bhíthin. Heavy security will always be in place, however, in the east of the country along the border with Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro. Beidh dianslándáil i bhfeidhm i gcónaí, áfach, in oirthear na tíre feadh na teorann leis an mBoisnia-Heirseagaivéin, an tSeirbia agus Montainéagró. This is a big challenge since the border is 1,350 kilometers long. Is mór an dúshlán an méid sin ó tá an teorainn 1,350 ciliméadar ar a fad.

Victor's default choice. Rust - Language he uses if doing embedded work, performance is critical, or more correctness is desired Haskell - Language he uses if correctness and type system is the most important for the project Postgresql - General purpose database that's good enough for most use cases including full text search. KeyDB - Redis compatible database for caching. Acquired by Snap and then made open source. Victor uses it over Redis because it is multi threaded and supports flash storage without a Redis Enterprise license.

[00:00:00] Jeremy: This episode, I talk to Victor Adossi who describes himself as a yak shaver. Someone who likes trying a whole bunch of different technologies, seeing the different options. We talk about what he uses, the evolution of front end development, and his various projects. Talking to just different people it's always good to get where they're coming from because something that works for Google at their scale is going to be different than what you're doing with one of your smaller projects. [00:00:31] Victor: Yeah, the context. Of course in direct conflict with that statement, I definitely use Google technology despite not needing to at all right? Like, you know, 99% of people who are doing like people like to call it indiehacking or building small products could probably get by with just Dokku. If you know Dokku or like CapRover. Are two projects that'll be like, Oh, you can just push your code here, we'll build it up like a little mini Heroku PaaS thing and just go on one big server, right? Like 99% of the people could just use that. But of course I'm not doing that. So I'm a bit of a hypocrite in that sense. I know what I should be doing, but I'm not doing that. I am writing a Kubernetes cluster with like five nodes for no reason. Uh, yeah, I dunno, people don't normally count the controllers. [00:01:24] Jeremy: Dokku and CapRover, I think those are where it's supposed to create a heroku like experience I think it's based off of the heroku buildpacks right? At least Dokku is? [00:01:36] Victor: Yeah Buildpacks has actually been spun out into like a community thing so like pivotal and heroku, it's like buildpacks.io, they're trying to build a wider standard around it so that more people can get involved. And buildpacks are actually obviously fantastic as a technology and as a a process piece. There's not much else like them and you know, that's obvious from like Heroku's success and everything. I know Dokku uses that. I don't know that Caprover does, but I haven't, I haven't really run Caprover that much. They, they probably do. Like at this point if you're going to support building from code, it seems silly to try and build your own buildpacks. Cause that's what you will do, eventually. So you might as well use what's there. Anyway, this is like just getting to like my personal opinions at this point, but like, if you think containers are a bad idea in 2022, You're wrong, you should, you should stop. Like you should, you should stop. Think about it. I mean, obviously there's not, um, I got a really great question at an interview once, which is, where are containers a bad idea? That's probably one of the best like recent interview questions I've ever gotten cause I was like, Oh yeah, I mean, like, you can't, it can't be perfect everywhere, right? Nothing's perfect everywhere. So it's like, where is it? Uh, and of course the answer was networking, right? (unintelligible) So if you need absolute performance, but like for just about everything else. Containers are kind of it at this point. Like, time has born it out, I think. So yeah, I always just like bias at taking containers at this point. So I'm probably more of a CapRover person than a Dokku person, even though I have not used, I don't use CapRover. [00:03:09] Jeremy: Well, like something that I've heard with containers, and maybe it's changed recently, but, but something that was kind of holdout was when people would host a database sometimes they would oh we just don't wanna put this in a container and I wonder if like that matches with your thinking or if things have changed. [00:03:27] Victor: I am not a database administrator right like I read postgres docs and I read the, uh, the Postgres documentation, and I think I know a bit about postgres but I don't commit right like so and I also haven't, like, oh, managed X terabytes on one server that you are making sure never goes down kind of deal. But the stickiness for me, at least from when I've run, So I've done a lot of tests with like ZFS and Postgres and like, um, and also like just trying to figure out, and I run Postgres in Kubernetes of course, like on my cluster and a lot of the stuff I found around is, is like fiddly kernel things like sort of base kernel settings that you need to have set. Like, you know, stuff like should you be using transparent huge pages, like stuff like that. But once you have that settled. Containers are just processes with name spacing and resource control, right? Like, that's it. there are some other ins and outs, but for the most part, if you're fine running a process, so people ran processes, right? And they were just completely like unprotected. Then people made users for the processes and they limited the users and ran the processes, right? Then the next step is now you can run a process and then do the limiting the name spaces in cgroups dynamically. Like there, there's, there's sort of not a humongous difference, unless you're hitting something very specific. Uh, but yeah, databases have been a point of contention, but I think, Kelsey Hightower had that tweet yeah. That was like, um, don't run databases in Kubernetes. And I think he called it back. [00:04:56] Victor: I don't know, but I, I know that was uh, was one of those things that people were really unsure about at first, but then after people sort of like felt it out, they were like, Oh, it's actually fine. Yeah. [00:05:06] Jeremy: Yeah I vaguely remember one of the concerns having to do with persistent storage. Like there were challenges with Kubernetes and needing to keep that storage around and I don't know if that's changed yeah or if that's still a concern. [00:05:18] Victor: Uh, I'd say that definitely has changed. Uh, and it was, it was a concern, depending on where you were. Mostly people who are running AKS or EKS or you know, all those other managed Kubernetes, they're just using EBS or like whatever storage provider is like offering for storage. Most of those people don't actually have that much of a problem with, storage in general. Now, high performance storage is obviously different, right? So like, so you'll, you're gonna have to start doing manual, like local volume management and stuff like that. it was a problem, because obviously CSI (Kubernetes Container Storage Interface) didn't exist for some period of time, and like there was, it was hard to know what to do for if you were just running a Kubernetes cluster. I think a lot of people were just using local, first of all, local didn't even exist for a bit. Um, they were just using host path, right? And just like, Oh, it's on the disk somewhere. Where do we, we have to go get it right? Or we have to like, sort of manage that. So that was something most people weren't ready for, especially if you were just, if you weren't like sort of a, a, a traditional sysadmin and used to doing that stuff. And then of course local volumes came out, but I think they still had to be, um, pre-provisioned. So that's sysadmin stuff that most people, you know, maybe aren't, aren't necessarily ready for. Uh, and then most of the general solutions were slow. So like, I used Longhorn (https://longhorn.io) for a long time and Longhorn, Longhorn's great. And super easy to set up, but it can be slower and you can have some, like, delays in mount time. it wasn't ideal for, for most people. So yeah, I, overall it's true. Databases, Databases in Kubernetes were kind of fraught with peril for a while, but it wasn't for the reason that, it wasn't for the fundamental reason that Kubernetes was just wrong or like, it wasn't the reason most people think of, which is just like, Oh, you're gonna break your database. It's more like, running a database is hard and Kubernetes hasn't solved all the hard problems. Like, cuz that's what Kubernetes does. It basically solves a lot of problems in a very generic way. Right. So it just hadn't solved all those problems yet at this point. I think it's got decent answers on a lot of them. So I, I mean, I don't know. I I do it. Don't, don't take what I'm saying to your, you know, PM meeting or your standup meeting, uh, anyone who's listening. But it's more like if you could solve the problems with databases in the sense before. You could probably solve 'em on Kubernetes now with a good understanding of Kubernetes. Cause at the end of the day, it's all the same stuff. Just Kubernetes makes it a little easier to, uh, do it dynamically. [00:07:50] Jeremy: It sounds like you could do it before, but some of the, I guess the tools or the ways of doing persistent storage were not quite there yet, or they were difficult to use. And so that was why people at the start were like, Okay, maybe it's not a good idea, but, now maybe there's some established practices for how you should run a database in Kubernetes. And I, I suppose the other aspect too is that, like you were saying, Kubernetes is its own thing. You gotta learn Kubernetes and all its intricacies. And then running a database is also its own challenge. So if you stack the two of them together and, and the path was not really clear then maybe at the start it wasn't the best idea. Um, uh, if somebody was going to try it out now, was there like a specific resource you looked at or a specific path to where like okay this is is how I'm going to do it. [00:08:55] Victor: I'll just say what I normally recommend to everybody. Cause it depends on which path you wanna go right? If you wanna go down like running a database path first and figure that out, fill out that skill tree. Like go read the Postgres docs. Well, first of all, use Postgres. That's the first tip there. But like, read those documents. And obviously you don't have to understand everything. You won't understand everything. But knowing the big pieces and sort of letting your brain see the mention of like a whole bunch of things, like what is toast? Oh, you can do compression on columns. Like, you can do some, some things concurrently. Um, you know, what ALTER TABLE looks like. You get all that stuff kind of in your head. Um, and then I personally really believe in sort of learning by building and just like iterating. you won't get it right the first time. It's just like, it's not gonna happen. You're get, you can, you can get better the first time, right? By being really prepared and like, and leave yourself lots of outs, but you kind of have to like, get it out there. Do do your best to make sure that you can't fail, uh, catastrophically, right? So this is like, goes back to that decision to like use ZFS as the bottom of this I'm just like, All right, well, I, I'm not a file systems expert, but if I. I could delegate some of that, you know, some of that, I can get some of that knowledge from someone else. Um, and I can make it easier for me to not fail catastrophically. For the database side, actually read documentation on Postgres or the whatever database you're going to use, make sure you at least understand that. Then start running it like locally or whatever. Again, Docker use, use Docker locally. It's, it's, it's fine. and then, you know, sort of graduate to running sort of more progressively, more complicated versions. what I would say for the Kubernetes side is actually similar. the Kubernetes docs are really good. they're very large. but they're good. So you can actually go through and know all the, like, workload, workload resources, know, like what a config map is, what a secret is, right? Like what etcd is doing in this whole situation. you know, what a kublet is versus an API server, right? Like the, the general stuff, like if you go through all that, you should have like a whole bunch of ideas at least floating around in your head. And then once you try and start setting up a server, they will all start to pop up again, right? And they'll all start to like, you, like, Oh, okay, I need a CNI (Container Networking) plugin because something needs to make the services available, right? Or something needs to power the ingress, right? Like, if I wanna be able to get traffic, I need an ingress object. But what listens, what does that, what makes that ingress object do anything? Oh, it's an ingress controller. nginx, you know, almost everyone's heard of nginx, so they're like, okay. Um, nginx, has an ingress control. Actually there's, there used to be two, I assume there's still two, but there's like one that's maintained by Kubernetes, one that's maintained by nginx, the company or whatever. I use traefik, it's fantastic. but yeah, so I think those things kind of fall out and that is almost always my first way to explain it and to start building. And tinkering iteratively. So like, read the documentation, get a good first grasp of it, and then start building yourself because you'll, you'll get way more questions that way. Like, you'll ask way more questions, you won't be able to make progress. Uh, and then of course you can, you know, hop into slacks or like start looking around and, and searching on the internet. oh, one of the things that really helped me out early learning Kubernetes was, Kelsey Hightower's, um, learn Kubernetes the hard way. I'm also a big believer in doing things the hard way, at least knowing what you're choosing to not know, right? distributing file system, Deltas, right? Or like changes to a file system over the network is not a new problem. Other people have solved it. There's a lot of complexity there. but if you at least know the sort of surface level of what the thing does and what it's supposed to do and how it's supposed to do it, you can make a decision on, Oh, how deep am I going to go? Right? To prevent yourself from like, making a mistake or going too deep in the rabbit hole. If you have an idea of the sort of ecosystem and especially like, Oh, here, like the basics of how I can use this thing, that's generally very good. And doing things the hard way is a great way to get a, a feel for that, right? Cause if you take some chunk and like, you know, the first level of doing things the hard way, uh, or, you know, Kelsey Hightower's guide is like, get a machine, right? Like, so, like, if you somehow were like, Oh, I wanna run a Kubernetes cluster. but, you know, I don't want use necessarily EKS and you wanna learn it the hard way. You have to go get a machine, right? If you, if you're not familiar, if you run on Heroku the whole time, like you didn't manage your own machines, you gotta go like, figure out EC2, right? Or, I personally use, hetzner I love hetzner, so you have to go figure out hetzner, digital ocean, whatever. Right. And then the next thing's like, you know, the guide's changed a lot, and I haven't, I haven't looked at it in like, in years, actually a while since I, since I've sort of been, I guess living it, but it's, it's like generate certificates, right? So if you've never dealt with SSL and like, sort of like, or I should say TLS uh, and generating certificates and how that whole dance works, right? Which is fascinating because it's like, oh, right, nothing's secure on the internet, except that we distribute root certificates on computers that are deployed in every OS, right? Like, that's a sort of fundamental understanding you may not go deep enough to realize, but if you are fascinated by it, trying to do it manually would lead you down that path. You'd be like, Oh, what, like what is this thing? What is a CSR? Like, why, who is signing my request? Right? And it's like, why do we trust those people? Right? And it's like, you know, that kind of thing comes out and I feel like you can only get there from trying to do it, you know, answering the questions you can. Right. And again, it takes some judgment to know when you should not go down a rabbit hole. uh, and then iterating. of course there are people who are excellent at explaining. you can find some resources that are shortcuts. But, uh, I think particularly my bread and butter has been just to try and do it the hard way. Avoid pitfalls or like rabbit holes when you can. But know that the rabbit hole is there, and then keep going. And sometimes if something's just too hard, you're not gonna get it the first time. Like maybe you'll have to wait like another three months, you'll try again and you'll know more sort of ambiently about everything else. You get a little further that time. that's how I feel about that. Anyway. [00:15:06] Jeremy: That makes sense to me. I think sometimes when people take on a project, they try to learn too many things at the same time. I, I think the example of Kubernetes and Postgres is pretty good example, where if you're not familiar with how do I install Postgres on bare metal or a vm, trying to make sense of that while you're trying to into is probably gonna be pretty difficult. So, so splitting them up and learning them individually, that makes a lot of sense to me. And the whole deciding how deep you wanna go. That's interesting too, because I think that's very specific to the person right because sometimes you wanna go a little deeper because otherwise you don't understand how the two things connect together. But other times it's just like with the example with certificates, some people they may go like, I just put in let's encrypt it gives me my cert I don't care right then, and then, and some people they wanna know like okay how does the whole certificate infrastructure work which I think is interesting, depending on who you are, maybe you go ahh maybe it doesn't really matter right. [00:16:23] Victor: Yeah, and, you know, shout out to Let's Encrypt . It's, it's amazing, right? think Singlehandedly the most, most of the deployment of HTTPS that happens these days, right? so many so many of like internet providers and uh, sort of service providers will use it right? Under the covers. Like, Hey, we've got you free SSL through Let's Encrypt, right? Like, kind of like under the, under the covers. which is awesome. And they, and they do it. So if you're listening to this, donate to them. I've done it. So now that, now the pressure is on whoever's listening, but yeah, and, and I, I wanna say I am that person as well, right? Like, I use, Cert Manager on my cluster, right? So I'm just like, I don't wanna think about it, but I, you know, but I, I feel like I thought about it one time. I have a decent grasp. If something changes, then I guess I have to dive back in. I think it, you've heard the, um, innovation tokens idea, right? I can't remember the site. It's like, um, do, like do boring tech or something.com (https://boringtechnology.club/) . Like it shows up on sort of hacker news from time to time, essentially. But it's like, you know, you have a certain amount of tokens and sort of, uh, we'll call them tokens, but tolerance for complexity or tolerance for new, new ideas or new ways of doing things, new processes. Uh, and you spend those as you build any project, right? you can be devastatingly effective by just sticking to the stack, you know, and not introducing anything new, even if it's bad, right? and there's nothing wrong with LAMP stack, I don't wanna annoy anybody, but like if you, if you're running LAMP or if you run on a hostgator, right? Like, if you run on so, you know, some, some service that's really old but really works for you isn't, you know, too terribly insecure or like, has the features you need, don't learn Kubernetes then, right? Especially if you wanna go fast. cuz you, you're spending tokens, right? You're spending, essentially brain power, right? On learning whatever other thing. So, but yeah, like going back to that, databases versus databases on Kubernetes thing, you should probably know one of those before you, like, if you're gonna do that, do that thing. You either know Kubernetes and you like, at least feel comfortable, you know, knowing Kubernetes extremely difficult obviously, but you feel comfortable and you feel like you can debug. Little bit of a tangent, but maybe that's even a better, sort of watermark if you know how to debug a thing. If, if it's gone wrong, maybe one or five or 10 or 20 times and you've gotten out. Not without documentation, of course, cuz well, if you did, you're superhuman. But, um, but you've been able to sort of feel your way out, right? Like, Oh, this has gone wrong and you have enough of a model of the system in your head to be like, these are the three places that maybe have something wrong with them. Uh, and then like, oh, and then of course it's just like, you know, a mad dash to kind of like, find, find the thing that's wrong. You should have confidence about probably one of those things before you try and do both when it's like, you know, complex things like databases and distributed systems management, uh, and orchestration. [00:19:18] Jeremy: That's, that's so true in, in terms of you are comfortable enough being able to debug a problem because it's, I think when you are learning about something, a lot of times you start with some kind of guide or some kind of tutorial and you follow the steps. And if it all works, then great. Right? But I think it's such a large leap from that to something went wrong and I have to figure it out. Right. Whether it's something's not right in my Dockerfile or my postgres instance uh, the queries are timing out. so many things that could go wrong, that is the moment where you're forced to figure out, okay, what do I really know about this not thing? [00:20:10] Victor: Exactly. Yeah. Like the, the rubber's hitting the road it's uh you know the car's about to crash or has already crashed like if I open the bonnet, do I know what's happening right or am I just looking at (unintelligible). And that's, it's, I feel sort a little sorry or sad for, for devs that start today because there's so much. Complexity that's been built up. And a lot of it has a point, but you need to kind of have seen the before to understand the point, right? So I like, I like to use front end as an example, right? Like the front end ecosystem is crazy, and it has been crazy for a very long time, but the steps are actually usually logical, right? Like, so like you start with, you know, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, just plain, right? And like, and you can actually go in lots of directions. Like HTML has its own thing. CSS has its own sort of evolution sort of thing. But if we look at JavaScript, you're like, you're just writing JavaScript on every page, right? And like, just like putting in script tags and putting in whatever, and it's, you get spaghetti, you get spaghetti, you start like writing, copying the same function on multiple pages, right? You just, it, it's not good. So then people, people make jquery, right? And now, now you've got like a, a bundled set of like good, good defaults that you can, you can go for, right? And then like, you know, libraries like underscore come out for like, sort of like not dom related stuff that you do want, you do want everywhere. and then people go from there and they go to like backbone or whatever. it's because Jquery sort of also becomes spaghetti at some point and it becomes hard to manage and people are like, Okay, we need to sort of like encapsulate this stuff somehow, right? And like the new tools or whatever is around at the same timeframe. And you, you, you like backbone views for example. and you have people who are kind of like, ah, but that's not really good. It's getting kind of slow. Uh, and then you have, MVC stuff comes out, right? Like Angular comes out and it's like, okay, we're, we're gonna do this thing called dirty checking, and it's gonna be, it's gonna be faster and it's gonna be like, it's gonna be less sort of spaghetti and it's like a little bit more structured. And now you have sort of like the rails paradigm, but on the front end, and it takes people to get a while to get adjusted to that, but then that gets too heavy, right? And then dirty checking is realized to be a mistake. And then, you get stuff like MVVM, right? So you get knockout, like knockout js and you got like Durandal, and like some, some other like sort of front end technologies that come up to address that problem. Uh, and then after that, like, you know, it just keeps going, right? Like, and if you come in at the very end, you're just like, What is happening? Right? Like if it, if it, if someone doesn't sort of boil down the complexity and reduce it a little bit, you, you're just like, why, why do we do this like this? Right? and sometimes there's no good reason. Sometimes the complexity is just like, is unnecessary, but having the steps helps you explain it, uh, or helps you understand how you got there. and, and so I feel like that is something younger people or, or newer devs don't necessarily get a chance to see. Cause it just, it would take, it would take very long right? And if you're like a new dev, let's say you jumped into like a coding bootcamp. I mean, I've got opinions on coding boot camps, but you know, it's just like, let's say you jumped into one and you, you came out, you, you made it. It's just, there's too much to know. sure, you could probably do like HTML in one month. Well, okay, let's say like two weeks or whatever, right? If you were, if you're literally brand new, two weeks of like concerted effort almost, you know, class level, you know, work days right on, on html, you're probably decently comfortable with it. Very comfortable. CSS, a little harder because this is where things get hard. Cause if you, if you give two weeks for, for HTML, CSS is harder than HTML kind of, right? Because the interactions are way more varied. Right? Like, and, and maybe it's one of those things where you just, like, you, you get somewhat comfortable and then just like know that in the future you're gonna see something you don't understand and have to figure it out. Uh, but then JavaScript, like, how many months do you give JavaScript? Because if you go through that first like, sort of progression that I, I I, I, I mentioned everyone would have a perfect sort of, not perfect but good understanding of the pieces, right? Like, why did we start transpiling at all? Right? Like, uh, or why did you know, why did we adopt libraries? Like why did Bower exist? No one talks about Bower anymore, obviously, but like, Bower was like a way to distribute front end only packages, right? Um, what is it? Um, Uh, yes, there's grunt. There's like the whole build system thing, right? Once, once we decide we're gonna, we're gonna do stuff to files before we, before we push. So there's grunt, there's, uh, gulp, which is like grunt, but like, Oh, we're gonna do it all in memory. We're gonna pipe, we're gonna use this pipes thing to make sure everything goes fast. then there's like, of course that leads like the insanity that's webpack. And then there's like parcel, which did better. There's vite there's like, there's all this, there's this progression, but how many months would it take to know that progression? It, it's too long. So they end up just like, Hey, you're gonna learn react. Which is the right thing because it's like, that's what people hire for, right? But then you're gonna be in react and be like, What's webpack, right? And it's like, but you can't go down. You can't, you don't have the time. You, you can't sort of approach that problem from the other direction where you, which would give you better understanding cause you just don't have the time. I think it's hard for newer devs to overcome this. Um, but I think there are some, there's some hope on the horizon cuz some things are simpler, right? Like some projects do reduce complexity, like, by watching another project sort of innovate so like react. Wasn't the first component, first framework, right? Like technically, I, I think, I think you, you might have to give that to like, to maybe backbone because like they had views and like marionette also went with that. Like maybe, I don't know, someone, someone I'm sure will get in like, send me an angry email, uh, cuz I forgot you Moo tools or like, you know, Ember Ember. They've also, they've also been around, I used to be a huge Ember fan, still, still kind of am, but I don't use it. but if you have these, if you have these tools, right? Like people aren't gonna know how to use them and Vue was able to realize that React had some inefficiencies, right? So React innovates the sort of component. So Reintroduces the component based model component first, uh, front end development model. Vue sees that and it's like, wait a second, if we just export this like data object, and of course that's not the only innovation of Vue, but if we just export this data object, you don't have to do this fine grained tracking yourself anymore, right? You don't have to tell React or tell your the system which things change when other things change, right? Like you, you don't have to set up this watching and stuff, right? Um, and that's one of the reasons, like Vue is just, I, I, I remember picking up Vue and being like, Oh, I'm done. I'm done with React now. Because it just doesn't make sense to use React because they Vue essentially either, you know, you could just say they learned from them or they, they realize a better way to do things that is simpler and it's much easier to write. Uh, and you know, functionally similar, right? Um, similar enough that it's just like, oh they boil down some of that complexity and we're a step forward and, you know, in other ways, I think. Uh, so that's, that's awesome. Every once in a while you get like a compression in the complexity and then it starts to ramp up again and you get maybe another compression. So like joining the projects that do a compression. Or like starting to adopting those is really, can be really awesome. So there's, there's like, there's some hope, right? Cause sometimes there is a compression in that complexity and you you might be lucky enough to, to use that instead of, the thing that's really complex after years of building on it. [00:27:53] Jeremy: I think you're talking about newer developers having a tough time making sense of the current frameworks but the example you gave of somebody starting from HTML and JavaScript going to jquery backbone through the whole chain, that that's just by nature of you've put in a lot of time right you've done a lot of work working with each of these technologies you see the progression as if someone is starting new just by nature of you being new you won't have been able to spend that time [00:28:28] Victor: Do you think it could work? again, the, the, the time aspect is like really hard to get like how can you just avoid spending time um to to learn things that's like a general problem I think that problem is called education in the general sense. But like, does it make sense for a, let's say a bootcamp or, or any, you know, school right? To attempt to guide people through the previous solutions that didn't work, right? Like in math, you don't start with calculus, right? It just wouldn't, it doesn't make sense, right? But we try and start with calculus in software, right? We're just like, okay, here's the complexity. You've got all of it. Don't worry. Just look at this little bit. If, you know, if the compiler ever spits out a weird error uh oh, like, you're, you're, you're in for trouble cuz you, you just didn't get the. get the basics. And I think that's maybe some of what is missing. And the thing is, it is like the constraints are hard, right? No one has infinite time, right? Or like, you know, even like, just tons of time to devote to learning, learning just front end, right? That's not even all of computing, That's not even the algorithm stuff that some companies love to throw at you, right? Uh, or the computer sciencey stuff. I wonder if it makes more sense to spend some time taking people through the progression, right? Because discovering that we should do things via components, let's say, or, or at least encapsulate our functionality to components and compose that way, is something we, we not everyone knew, right? Or, you know, we didn't know wild widely. And so it feels like it might make sense to touch on that sort of realization and sort of guide the student through, you know, maybe it's like make five projects in a week and you just get progressively more complex. But then again, that's also hard cause effort, right? It's just like, it's a hard problem. But, but I think right now, uh, people who come in at the end and sort of like see a bunch of complexity and just don't know why it's there, right? Like, if you've like, sort of like, this is, this applies also very, this applies to general, but it applies very well to the Kubernetes problem as well. Like if you've never managed nginx on more than one machine, or if you've never tried to set up a, like a, to format your file system on the machine you just rented because it just, you know, comes with nothing, right? Or like, maybe, maybe some stuff was installed, but, you know, if you had to like install LVM (Logical Volume Manager) yourself, if you've never done any of that, Kubernetes would be harder to understand. It's just like, it's gonna be hard to understand. overlay networks are hard for everyone to understand, uh, except for network people who like really know networking stuff. I think it would be better. But unfortunately, it takes a lot of time for people to take a sort of more iterative approach to, to learning. I try and write blog posts in this way sometimes, but it's really hard. And so like, I'll often have like an idea, like, so I call these, or I think of these as like onion, onion style posts, right? Where you either build up an onion sort of from the inside and kind of like go out and like add more and more layers or whatever. Or you can, you can go from the outside and sort of take off like layers. Like, oh, uh, Kubernetes has a scheduler. Why do they need a scheduler? Like, and like, you know, kind of like, go, go down. but I think that might be one of the best ways to learn, but it just takes time. Or geniuses and geniuses who are good at two things, right? Good at the actual technology and good at teaching. Cuz teaching is a skill and it's very hard. and, you know, shout out to teachers cuz that's, it's, it's very difficult, extremely frustrating. it's hard to find determinism in, in like methods and solutions. And there's research of course, but it's like, yeah, that's, that's a lot harder than the computer being like, Nope, that doesn't work. Right? Like, if you can't, if you can't, like if you, if the function call doesn't work, it doesn't work. Right. If the person learned suboptimally, you won't know Right. Until like 10 years down the road when, when they can't answer some question or like, you know, when they, they don't understand. It's a missing fundamental piece anyway. [00:32:24] Jeremy: I think with the example of front end, maybe you don't have time to walk through the whole history of every single library and framework that came but I think at the very least, if you show someone, or you teach someone how to work with css, and you have them, like you were talking about components before you have them build a site where there's a lot of stuff that gets reused, right? Maybe you have five pages and they all have the same nav bar. [00:33:02] Victor: Yeah, you kind of like make them do it. [00:33:04] Jeremy: Yeah. You make 'em do it and they make all the HTML files, they copy and paste it, and probably your students are thinking like, ah, this, this kind of sucks [00:33:16] Victor: Yeah [00:33:18] Jeremy: And yeah, so then you, you come to that realization, and then after you've done that, then you can bring in, okay, this is why we have components. And similarly you brought up, manual dom manipulation with jQuery and things like that. I, I'm sure you could come up with an example of you don't even necessarily need to use jQuery. I think people can probably skip that step and just use the the, the API that comes with the browser. But you can have them go in like, Oh, you gotta find this element by the id and you gotta change this based on this, and let them experience the. I don't know if I would call it pain, but let them experience like how it was. Right. And, and give them a complex enough task where they feel like something is wrong right. Or, or like, there, should be something better. And then you can go to you could go straight to vue or react. I'm not sure if we need to go like, Here's backbone, here's knockout. [00:34:22] Victor: Yeah. That's like historical. Interesting. [00:34:27] Jeremy: I, I think that would be an interesting college course or something that. Like, I remember when, I went through school, one of the classes was programming languages. So we would learn things like, Fortran and stuff like that. And I, I think for a more frontend centered or modern equivalent you could go through, Hey, here's the history of frontend development here's what we used to do and here's how we got to where we are today. I think that could be actually a pretty interesting class yeah [00:35:10] Victor: I'm a bit interested to know you learned fortran in your PL class. I, think when I went, I was like, lisp and then some, some other, like, higher classes taught haskell but, um, but I wasn't ready for haskell, not many people but fortran is interesting, I kinda wanna hear about that. [00:35:25] Jeremy: I think it was more in terms of just getting you exposed to historically this is how things were. Right. And it wasn't so much of like, You can take strategies you used in Fortran into programming as a whole. I think it was just more of like a, a survey of like, Hey, here's, you know, here's Fortran and like you were saying, here's Lisp and all, all these different languages nd like at least you, you get to see them and go like, yeah, this is kind of a pain. [00:35:54] Victor: Yeah [00:35:55] Jeremy: And like, I understand why people don't choose to use this anymore but I couldn't take away like a broad like, Oh, I, I really wish we had this feature from, I think we were, I think we were using Fortran 77 or something like that. I think there's Fortran 77, a Fortran 90, and then there's, um, I think, [00:36:16] Victor: Like old fortran, deprecated [00:36:18] Jeremy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, so I think, I think, uh, I actually don't know if they're, they're continuing to, um, you know, add new things or maintain it or it's just static. But, it's, it's more, uh, interesting in terms of, like we were talking front end where it's, as somebody who's learning frontend development who is new and you get to see how, backbone worked or how Knockout worked how grunt and gulp worked. It, it's like the kind of thing where it's like, Oh, okay, like, this is interesting, but let us not use this again. Right? [00:36:53] Victor: Yeah. Yeah. Right. But I also don't need this, and I will never again [00:36:58] Jeremy: yeah, yeah. It's, um, but you do definitely see the, the parallels, right? Like you were saying where you had your, your Bower and now you have NPM and you had Grunt and Gulp and now you have many choices [00:37:14] Victor: Yeah. [00:37:15] Jeremy: yeah. I, I think having he history context, you know, it's interesting and it can be helpful, but if somebody was. Came to me and said hey I want to learn how to build websites. I get into front end development. I would not be like, Okay, first you gotta start moo tools or GWT. I don't think I would do that but it I think at a academic level or just in terms of seeing how things became the way they are sure, for sure it's interesting. [00:37:59] Victor: Yeah. And I, I, think another thing I don't remember who asked or why, why I had to think of this lately. um but it was, knowing the differentiators between other technologies is also extremely helpful right? So, What's the difference between ES build and SWC, right? Again, we're, we're, we're leaning heavy front end, but you know, just like these, uh, sorry for context, of course, it's not everyone a front end developer, but these are two different, uh, build tools, right? For, for JavaScript, right? Essentially you can think of 'em as transpilers, but they, I think, you know, I think they also bundle like, uh, generally I'm not exactly sure if, if ESbuild will bundle as well. Um, but it's like one is written in go, the other one's written in Rust, right? And sort of there's, um, there's, in addition, there's vite which is like vite does bundle and vite does a lot of things. Like, like there's a lot of innovation in vite that has to have to do with like, making local development as fast as possible and also getting like, you're sort of making sure as many things as possible are strippable, right? Or, or, or tree shakeable. Sorry, is is is the better, is the better term. Um, but yeah, knowing, knowing the, um, the differences between projects is often enough to sort of make it less confusing for me. Um, as far as like, Oh, which one of these things should I use? You know, outside of just going with what people are recommending. Cause generally there is some people with wisdom sometimes lead the crowd sometimes, right? So, so sometimes it's okay to be, you know, a crowd member as long as you're listening to the, to, to someone worth listening to. Um, and, and so yeah, I, I think that's another thing that is like the mark of a good project or, or it's not exclusive, right? It's not, the condition's not necessarily sufficient, but it's like a good projects have the why use this versus x right section in the Readme, right? They're like, Hey, we know you could use Y but here's why you should use us instead. Or we know you could use X, but here's what we do better than X. That might, you might care about, right? That's, um, a, a really strong indicator of a project. That's good cuz that means the person who's writing the project is like, they've done this, the survey. And like, this is kind of like, um, how good research happens, right? It's like most of research is reading what's happening, right? To knowing, knowing the boundary you're about to push, right? Or try and sort of like push one, make one step forward in, um, so that's something that I think the, the rigor isn't in necessarily software development everywhere, right? Which is good and bad. but someone who's sort of done that sort of rigor or, and like, and, and has, and or I should say, has been rigorous about knowing the boundary, and then they can explain that to you. They can be like, Oh, here's where the boundary was. These people were doing this, these people were doing this, these people were doing this, but I wanna do this. So you just learned now whether it's right for you and sort of the other points in the space, which is awesome. Yeah. Going to your point, I feel like that's, that's also important, it's probably not a good idea to try and get everyone to go through historical artifacts, but if just a, a quick explainer and sort of, uh, note on the differentiation, Could help for sure. Yeah. I feel like we've skewed too much frontend. No, no more frontend discussion this point. [00:41:20] Jeremy: It's just like, I, I think there's so many more choices where the, the mental thought that has to go into, Okay, what do I use next I feel is bigger on frontend. I guess it depends on the project you're working on but if you're going to work on anything front end if you haven't done it before or you don't have a lot of experience there's so many build tools so many frameworks, so many libraries that yeah, but we [00:41:51] Victor: Iterate yeah, in every direction, like the, it's good and bad, but frontend just goes in every direction at the same time Like, there's so many people who are so enthusiastic and so committed and and it's so approachable that like everyone just goes in every direction at the same time and like a lot of people make progress and then unfortunately you have try and pick which, which branch makes sense. [00:42:20] Jeremy: We've been kind of talking about, some of your experiences with a few things and I wonder if you could explain the the context you're thinking of in terms of the types of projects you typically work on like what are they what's the scale of them that sort of thing. [00:42:32] Victor: So I guess I've, I've gone through a lot of phases, right? In sort of what I use in in my tooling and what I thought was cool. I wrote enterprise java like everybody else. Like, like it really doesn't talk about it, but like, it's like almost at some point it was like, you're either a rail shop or a Java shop, for so many people. And I wrote enterprise Java for a, a long time, and I was lucky enough to have friends who were really into, other kinds of computing and other kinds of programming. a lot of my projects were wrapped around, were, were ideas that I was expressing via some new technology, let's say. Right? So, I wrote a lot of haskell for, for, for a while, right? But what did I end up building with that was actually a job board that honestly didn't go very far because I was spending much more time sort of doing, haskell things, right? And so I learned a lot about sort of what I think is like the pinnacle of sort of like type development in, in the non-research world, right? Like, like right on the edge of research and actual usability. But a lot of my ideas, sort of getting back to the, the ideas question are just things I want to build for myself. Um, or things I think could be commercially viable or like do, like, be, be well used, uh, and, and sort of, and profitable things, things that I think should be built. Or like if, if I see some, some projects as like, Oh, I wish they were doing this in this way, Right? Like, I, I often consider like, Oh, I want, I think I could build something that would be separate and maybe do like, inspired from other projects, I should say, Right? Um, and sort of making me understand a sort of a different, a different ecosystem. but a lot of times I have to say like, the stuff I build is mostly to scratch an itch I have. Um, and or something I think would be profitable or utilizing technology that I've seen that I don't think anyone's done in the same way. Right? So like learning Kubernetes for example, or like investing the time to learn Kubernetes opened up an entire world of sort of like infrastructure ideas, right? Because like the leverage you get is so high, right? So you're just like, Oh, I could run an aws, right? Like now that I, now that I know this cuz it's like, it's actually not bad, it's kind of usable. Like, couldn't I do that? Right? That kind of thing. Right? Or um, I feel like a lot of the times I'll learn a technology and it'll, it'll make me feel like certain things are possible that they, that weren't before. Uh, like Rust is another one of those, right? Like, cuz like Rust will go from like embedded all the way to WASM, which is like a crazy vertical stack. Right? It's, that's a lot, That's a wide range of computing that you can, you can touch, right? And, and there's, it's, it's hard to learn, right? The, the, the, the, uh, the, the ramp to learning it is quite steep, but, it opens up a lot of things you can write, right? It, it opens up a lot of areas you can go into, right? Like, if you ever had an idea for like a desktop app, right? You could actually write it in Rust. There's like, there's, there's ways, there's like is and there's like, um, Tauri is one of my personal favorites, which uses web technology, but it's either I'm inspired by some technology and I'm just like, Oh, what can I use this on? And like, what would this really be good at doing? or it's, you know, it's one of those other things, like either I think it's gonna be, Oh, this would be cool to build and it would be profitable. Uh, or like, I'm scratching my own itch. Yeah. I think, I think those are basically the three sources. [00:46:10] Jeremy: It's, it's interesting about Rust where it seems so trendy, I guess, in lots of people wanna do something with rust, but then in a lot of they also are not sure does it make sense to write in rust? Um, I, I think the, the embedded stuff, of course, that makes a lot of sense. And, uh, you, you've seen a sort of surge in command line apps, stuff ripgrep and ag, stuff like that, and places like that. It's, I think the benefits are pretty clear in terms of you've got the performance and you have the strong typing and whatnot and I think where there's sort of the inbetween section that's kind of unclear to me at least would I build a web application in rust I'm not sure that sort of thing [00:47:12] Victor: Yeah. I would, I characterize it as kind of like, it's a tool toolkit, so it really depends on the problem. And think we have many tools that there's no, almost never a real reason to pick one in particular right? Like there's, Cause it seems like just most of, a lot of the work, like, unless you're, you're really doing something interesting, right? Like, uh, something that like, oh, I need to, I need to, like, I'm gonna run, you know, billions and billions of processes. Like, yeah, maybe you want erlang at that point, right? Like, maybe, maybe you should, that should be, you know, your, your thing. Um, but computers are so fast these days, and most languages have, have sort of borrowed, not borrowed, but like adopted features from others that there's, it's really hard to find a, a specific use case, for one particular tool. Uh, so I often just categorize it by what I want out of the project, right? Or like, either my goals or project goals, right? Depending on, and, or like business goals, if you're, you know, doing this for a business, right? Um, so like, uh, I, I basically, if I want to go fast and I want to like, you know, reduce time to market, I use type script, right? Oh, and also I'm a, I'm a, like a type zealot. I, I'd say so. Like, I don't believe in not having types, right? Like, it's just like there's, I think it's crazy that you would like have a function but not know what the inputs could be. And they could actually be anything, right? , you're just like, and then you have to kind of just keep that in your head. I think that's silly. Now that we have good, we, we have, uh, ways to avoid the, uh, ceremony, right? You've got like hindley Milner type systems, like you have a way to avoid the, you can, you know, predict what types of things will be, and you can, you don't have to write everything everywhere. So like, it's not that. But anyway, so if I wanna go fast, the, the point is that going back to that early, like the JS ecosystem goes everywhere at the same time. Typescript is excellent because the ecosystem goes everywhere at the same time. And so you've got really good ecosystem support for just about everything you could do. Um, uh, you could write TypeScript that's very loose on the types and go even faster, but in general it's not very hard. There's not too much ceremony and just like, you know, putting some stuff that shows you what you're using and like, you know, the objects you're working with. and then generally if I wanna like, get it really right, I I'll like reach for haskell, right? Cause it's just like the sort of contortions, and again, this takes time, this not fast, but, right. the contortions you can do in the type system will make it really hard to write incorrect code or code that doesn't, that isn't logical with itself. Of course interfacing with the outside world. Like if you do a web request, it's gonna fail sometimes, right? Like the network might be down, right? So you have to, you basically pull that, you sort of wrap that uncertainty in your system to whatever degree you're okay with. And then, but I know it'll be correct, right? But and correctness is just not important. Most of like, Oh, I should , that's a bad quote. Uh, it's not that correct is not important. It's like if you need to get to market, you do not necessarily need every single piece of your code to be correct, Right? If someone calls some, some function with like, negative one and it's not an important, it's not tied to money or it's like, you know, whatever, then maybe it's fine. They just see an error and then like you get an error in your back and you're like, Oh, I better fix that. Right? Um, and then generally if I want to be correct and fast, I choose rust these days. Right? Um, these days. and going back to your point, a lot of times that means that I'm going to write in Typescript for a lot of projects. So that's what I'll do for a lot of projects is cuz I'll just be like, ah, do I need like absolute correctness or like some really, you know, fancy sort of type stuff. No. So I don't pick haskell. Right. And it's like, do I need to be like mega fast? No, probably not. Cuz like, cuz so I don't necessarily don't necessarily need rust. Um, maybe it's interesting to me in terms of like a long, long term thing, right? Like if I, if I'm think, oh, but I want x like for example, tight, tight, uh, integration with WASM, for example, if I'm just like, oh, I could see myself like, but that's more of like, you know, for a fun thing that I'm doing, right? Like, it's just like, it's, it's, you don't need it. You don't, that's premature, like, you know, that's a premature optimization thing. But if I'm just like, ah, I really want the ability to like maybe consider refactoring some of this out into like a WebAssembly thing later, then I'm like, Okay, maybe, maybe I'll, I'll pick Rust. Or like, if I, if I like, I do want, you know, really, really fast, then I'll like, then I'll go Rust. But most of the time it's just like, I want a good ecosystem so I don't have to build stuff myself most of the time. Uh, and you know, type script is good enough. So my stack ends up being a lot of the time just in type script, right? Yeah. [00:52:05] Jeremy: Yeah, I think you've encapsulated the reason why there's so many packages on NPM and why there's so much usage of JavaScript and TypeScript in general is that it, it, it fits the, it's good enough. Right? And in terms of, in terms of speed, like you said, most of the time you don't need of rust. Um, and so typescript I think is a lot more approachable a lot of people have to use it because they do front end work anyways. And so that kinda just becomes the I don't know if I should say the default but I would say it's probably the most common in terms of when somebody's building a backend today certainly there's other languages but JavaScript and TypeScript is everywhere. [00:52:57] Victor: Yeah. Uh, I, I, I, another thing is like, I mean, I'm, of ignored the, like, unreasonable effectiveness of like rails Cause there's just a, there's tons of just like rails warriors out there, and that's great. They're they're fantastic. I'm not a, I'm not personally a huge fan of rails but that's, uh, that's to my own detriment, right? In, in some, in some ways. But like, Rails and Django sort of just like, people who, like, I'm gonna learn this framework it's gonna be excellent. It most, they have a, they have carved out a great ecosystem for themselves. Um, or like, you know, even php right? PHP and like Laravel, or whatever. Uh, and so I'm ignoring those, like, those pockets of productivity, right? Those pockets of like intense productivity that people like, have all their needs met in that same way. Um, but as far as like general, general sort of ecosystem size and speed for me, um, like what you said, like applies to me. Like if I, if I'm just like, especially if I'm just like, Oh, I just wanna build a backend, Like, I wanna build something that's like super small and just does like, you know, maybe a few, a couple, you know, endpoints or whatever and just, I just wanna throw it out there. Right? Uh, I, I will pick, yeah. Typescript. It just like, it makes sense to me. I also think note is a better. VM or platform to build on than any of the others as well. So like, like I, by any of the others, I mean, Python, Perl, Ruby, right? Like sort of in the same class of, of tool. So I I am kind of convinced that, um, Node is better, than those as far as core abilities, right? Like threading Right. Versus the just multi-processing and like, you know, other, other, other solutions and like, stuff like that. So, if you want a boring stack, if I don't wanna use any tokens, right? Any innovation tokens I reach for TypeScript. [00:54:46] Jeremy: I think it's good that you brought up. Rails and, and Django because, uh, personally I've done, I've done work with Rails, and you're right in that Rails has so many built in, and the ways to do them are so well established that your ability to be productive and build something really fast hard to compete with, at least in my experience with available in the Node ecosystem. Um, on the other hand, like I, I also see what you mean by the runtimes. Like with Node, you're, you're built on top of V8 and there's so many resources being poured into it to making it fast and making it run pretty much everywhere. I think you probably don't do too much work with managed services, but if you go to a managed service to run your code, like a platform as a service, they're gonna support Node. Will they support your other preferred language? Maybe, maybe not, You know that they will, they'll be able to run node apps so but yeah I don't know if it will ever happen or maybe I'm just not familiar with it, but feel like there isn't a real rails of javascript. [00:56:14] Victor: Yeah, you're, totally right. There are, there are. It's, it's weird. It's actually weird that there, like Uh, but, but, I kind of agree with you. There's projects that are trying it recently. There's like Adonis, um, there is, there are backends that also do, like, will do basic templating, like Nest, NestJS is like really excellent. It's like one of the best sort of backend, projects out there. I I, I but like back in the day, there were projects like Sails, which was like very much trying to do exactly what Rails did, but it just didn't seem to take off and reach that critical mass possibly because of the size of the ecosystem, right? Like, how many alternatives to Rails are there? Not many, right? And, and now, anyway, maybe let's say the rest of 'em sort of like died out over the years, but there's also like, um, hapi HAPI, uh, which is like also, you know, similarly, it was like angling themselves to be that, but they just never, they never found the traction they needed. I think, um, or at least to be as wide, widely known as Rails is for, for, for the, for the Ruby ecosystem, um, but also for people to kind of know the magic, cause. Like I feel like you're productive in Rails only when you imbibe the magic, right? You, you, know all the magic context and you know the incantations and they're comforting to you, right? Like you've, you've, you have the, you have the sort of like, uh, convention. You're like, if you're living and breathing the convention, everything's amazing, right? Like, like you can't beat that. You're just like, you're in the zone but you need people to get in that zone. And I don't think node has, people are just too, they're too frazzled. They're going like, there's too much options. They can't, it's hard to commit, right? Like, imagine if you'd committed to backbone. Like you got, you can't, It's, it's over. Oh, it's not over. I mean, I don't, no, I don't wanna, you know, disparage the backbone project. I don't use it, but, you know, maybe they're still doing stuff and you know, I'm sure people are still working on it, but you can't, you, it's hard to commit and sort of really imbibe that sort of convention or, or, or sort of like, make yourself sort of breathe that product when there's like 10 products that are kind of similar and could be useful as well. Yeah, I think that's, that's that's kind of big. It's weird that there isn't a rails, for NodeJS, but, but people are working on it obviously. Like I mentioned Adonis, there's, there's more. I'm leaving a bunch of them out, but that's part of the problem. [00:58:52] Jeremy: On, on one hand, it's really cool that people are trying so many different things because hopefully maybe they can find something that like other people wouldn't have thought of if they all stick same framework. but on the other hand, it's ... how much time have we spent jumping between all these different frameworks when what we could have if we had a rails. [00:59:23] Victor: Yeah the, the sort of wasted time is, is crazy to think about it uh, I do think about that from time to time. And you know, and personally I waste a lot of my own time.

Cosc ar an Ghaeilge i bpríosúin i Sasana. State Documents: The right to speak Irish in British prisons is a matter of dispute A Republican prisoner in England was given permission to speak Irish in the mid-nineties after the Irish Government and the Tánaiste, Dick Spring, in particular, negotiated on his behalf . Cáipéisí Stáit: Ceart Gaeilge a labhairt i bpríosúin na Breataine ina ábhar aighnis Tugadh cead cainte i nGaeilge do phríosúnach Poblachtánach i Sasana i lár na nóchaidí i ndiaidh do Rialtas na hÉireann agus an Tánaiste, Dick Spring, go háirithe, idirbheartaíocht a dhéanamh ar a shon. Secret state documents show that the Government insisted that the authorities in Full Sutton Prison in Yorkshire were violating the human rights of Féilim Uí Adhmaill when he was refused permission to have a conversation in Irish with his wife and family. Léiríonn cáipéisí rúnda an stáit gur áitigh an Rialtas go raibh sárú á dhéanamh ag na húdaráis i bPríosún Full Sutton in Yorkshire ar chearta daonna Fhéilim Uí Adhmaill nuair a diúltaíodh cead dó comhrá i nGaeilge a bheith aige lena bhean chéile agus lena theaghlach. His wife, Mairéad Uí Adhmaill, and Conradh na Gaeilge lobbied hard on his behalf and Tánaiste Dick Spring, the Irish Embassy in London, the lawyer Gareth Peirce and Cardinal Cahal Daly took an active role in the case. Bhí dianstocaireacht ar bun ag a bhean chéile, Mairéad Uí Adhmaill, agus ag Conradh na Gaeilge ar a shon agus ghlac an Tánaiste Dick Spring, Ambasáid na hÉireann i Londain, an dlíodóir Gareth Peirce agus an Cairdinéal Cahal Daly ról gníomhach sa chás. Dr Féilim Ó Adhmaill was convicted in November 1994 of conspiracy to explode bombs. Ciontaíodh an Dr Féilim Ó hAdhmaill i mí na Samhna 1994 as comhcheilg chun buamaí a phléascadh. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Gearradh téarma 25 bliain sa phríosún air. Dr Ó Adhmaill was a lecturer at Lancaster University at the time. Bhí an Dr Ó hAdhmaill ina léachtóir in Ollscoil Lancaster ag an am. He was caught in a garage near Wakefield, Yorkshire with 17kg of Semtex in his car. Beireadh air i ngaráiste in aice le Wakefield, Yorkshire agus 17kg de Semtex ina charr. The problems with the use of Irish began when Dr Ó Adhmaill was remanded in Belmarsh Prison. Thosaigh na fadhbanna le húsáid na Gaeilge nuair a bhí an Dr Ó hAdhmaill ar athchur i bPríosún Belmarsh. He was complaining that he had not received any letter that his wife had written to him and that he was not allowed to have a telephone conversation in Irish. Bhí sé ag gearán nach bhfuair sé aon litir a scríobh a bhean chéile chuige agus nach raibh cead aige comhrá teileafóin a bheith aige i nGaeilge. The Department of Foreign Affairs asked the Irish Embassy in London to investigate the matter. D'iarr an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha ar Ambasáid na hÉireann i Londain an scéal a fhiosrú. The British Home Affairs Office told an executive from the Embassy on 29 March 1994: "It is the usual procedure that category A prisoners are expected to conduct visits and telephone calls in English. D'inis Oifig Gnóthaí Baile na Breataine d'fheidhmeannach ón Ambasáid ar an 29 Márta 1994: "It is the usual procedure that category A prisoners are expected to conduct visits and telephone calls in English. If it is not possible for the prisoner to use English, the visit and telephone call can take place in another language provided the visits and telephone calls are monitored."

Ospidéil ar fud an Stáit faoi bhrú as cuimse inniu - Ceardchumann. Hospitals across the State are under immense pressure, says the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association. Tá ospidéil ar fud an Stáit faoi bhrú as cuimse, a deir Cumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann. The Association says they have never seen so much overcrowding at this time of year. Deir an Cumann nach bhfaca siad an oiread seo de róphlódú ariamh ag an tráth seo 'bhliana. The union said that all hospitals, large and small, are struggling as it becomes difficult for them to provide safe health care to patients. Dúirt an ceardchumann go bhfuil na hospidéil uilig, idir bheag agus mhór, ag streachailt agus é ag dul dian orthu cúram sláinte sábháilte a chur ar fáil d'othair. The Association wants private and public hospitals to function as one system in order to reduce the pressure and ensure that the situation does not get worse. Tá an Cumann ag iarraidh go bhfeidhmeoidh ospidéil phríobháideacha agus phoiblí mar aon chóras amháin ar mhaithe leis an bhrú a laghdú agus chun a chinntiú nach rachaidh an scéal chun donais. The Society's General Secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdha said that any emergency policy "must be implemented immediately because it will not be possible to deal with the emergency in a safe way if the conditions in the hospitals get worse." Dúirt Ardrúnaí an Chumainn Phil Ni Sheaghdha go gcaithfear aon bheartas éigeandála "is gá a chur i bhfeidhm láithreach bonn mar nach mbeifear in ann plé leis an éigeandáil ar bhealach sábháilte má éiríonn cúrsaí sna h-ospidéil níos measa." It is not normal for the number of patients in hospitals to be this high that 570 people would be so ill that they would need hospital care and there would not be enough beds for them, said Phil Ní Sheaghdha. Ní gnáthach leis an líon othair in ospidéil a bheith chomh hard seo go mbeadh 570 duine chomh tinn sin go mbeadh gá acu le cúram ospidéil agus nach mbeadh dóthain leapacha ann dóibh, a dúirt Phil Ní Sheaghdha. Early in the new year the hospitals get busy but the Association says they have never seen this much overcrowding. Go luath san athbhliain a éiríonn na h-ospidéil gnóthach ach deir an Cumann nach bhfaca siad a oiread seo de róphlódú ariamh. "Sick people have no choice but to go to the Emergency Departments of hospitals because they are unable to get an appointment with their family doctor," said the leader of the union. "Níl aon rogha ag daoine tinne ach dul chuig Rannóga Éigeandála na n-ospidéal mar nach bhfuil siad ábalta coinne a fháil lena ndochtúir teaghlaigh," a dúirt ceannaire an cheardchumainn. The Health Executive has decided to help GPs provide additional clinics to attend to patients to ease the pressure on the health system. Tá sé socraithe ag an Fheidhmeannacht Sláinte go gcabhróidh siad le dochtúirí teaghlaigh clinicí breise a chur ar fáil le freastal ar othair chun an brú ar an chóras sláinte a mhaolú.

Moltaí nua le tabhairt ar dhaoine an carr a fhágáil sa bhaile. The Government could end free parking at the workplace and introduce a minimum parking fee in all urban areas in the State, according to new proposals to reduce carbon emissions from the transport sector. D'fhéadfadh an Rialtas deireadh a chur le páirceáil shaor in aisce ag an ionad oibre agus íostáille páirceála a thabhairt isteach i ngach ceantar uirbeach sa Stát, de réir moltaí nua le hastaíochtaí carbóin ón earnáil iompair a laghdú. People could also be charged for certain journeys and further increase fuel prices. D'fhéadfaí freisin táillí a ghearradh ar dhaoine faoi thurais áirithe a dhéanamh agus praghsanna breosla a ardú tuilleadh. Persuading people to leave their cars at home as often as possible is the aim of the proposals to be discussed by the Government tomorrow. Cur ina luí ar dhaoine a ngluaisteáin a fhágáil sa bhaile chomh minic agus is féidir is aidhm do na moltaí atá le plé ag an Rialtas amárach. If they were implemented, it is thought that there would be a 25% reduction in car journeys per day; 50% increase on foot and bicycle trips; and a 130% increase in trips on public transport services. Dá gcuirfí i bhfeidhm iad, ceaptar go mbeadh laghdú 25 faoin gcéad sa ló ar thurais i gcarranna; ardú 50 faoin gcéad ar thurais de shiúl na gcos agus ar rothair; agus ardú 130 faoin gcéad ar thurais ar sheirbhísí iompair phoiblí. The aim would be to reduce the amount of fuel consumed by 50% and increase the number of electric vehicles on the State's roads to 30% from now to 2030. Bheadh sé i gceist an méid breosla a chaitear a laghdú 50 faoin gcéad agus an líon feithiclí leictreacha ar bhóithre an Stáit a ardú go dtí 30 faoin gcéad as seo go 2030. However, a Government spokesperson has indicated that the proposals for parking at the workplace and charging fees for certain journeys, are currently only "just in case" but not on the road. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag urlabhraí Rialtais, áfach, nach bhfuil sna moltaí maidir le páirceáil ag an ionad oibre agus táillí a ghearradh faoi thurais áirithe, nach bhfuil iontu faoi láthair ach "cuir i gcás" ach nach bhfuil siad ar na bacáin. Even so, it is understood that the Government intends to implement some significant policies to get people to leave their cars at home Ina dhiaidh sin féin, tuigtear go bhfuil rún ag an Rialtas roinnt beartas suntasach a chur i bhfeidhm chun tabhairt ar dhaoine a ngluaisteáin a fhágáil sa bhaile

Trí víreas éagsúla ag cur brú as cuimse ar an gcóras sláinte. There are three different viruses going on in the country at the moment and over a thousand people are in hospital due to being badly affected by one or another of them, according to the Health Service Executive. Tá trí cinn de víris éagsúla ag imeacht sa tír faoi láthair agus tá os cionn míle duine in ospidéil de bharr iad a bheith buailte go dona ag ceann nó ceann eile acu, de réir Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte. Chief Operations Officer Damien McCallion confirmed that 250 children are in hospital with respiratory syncytial virus; that 600 people are in hospital with Covid-19; and that another 300 are in hospital with the flu. Dhearbhaigh Príomhoifigeach Oibríochtaí na Feidhmeannachta Damien McCallion go bhfuil 250 páiste san ospidéal leis an víreas sincítiach riospráide; go bhfuil 600 duine san ospidéal le covid 19; agus go bhfuil 300 eile san ospidéal leis an bhfliú. It has not happened before in Ireland, said Damien McCallion, that the health system had to deal with three outbreaks of different viruses at the same time. Níor tharla sé cheana in Éirinn, arsa Damien McCallion, go mb'éigean don chóras sláinte dul i ngleic le trí ráig de víris éagsúla ag an am céanna. He indicated that despite the fact that the health system is under great pressure due to these exceptional circumstances, the problem is being addressed according to an action plan. Thug sé le fios ainneoin go bhfuil an-bhrú ar an gcóras sláinte mar gheall ar na cúinsí eisceachtúla seo, go bhfuiltear ag tabhairt aghaidh ar an bhfadhb de réir plean gníomhaithe. He said that more beds are being made available in hospitals; that there are more staff on duty in emergency units; that local injury units are staying open more recently; and that more general practitioners are available outside normal hours. Dúirt sé go bhfuil tuilleadh leapacha á gcur ar fáil in ospidéil; go bhfuil breis foirne ar dualgas in aonaid éigeandála; go bhfuil aonaid gortuithe áitiúla ag fanacht oscailte níos deireanaí; agus go bhfuil tuilleadh dochtúirí ginearálta ar fáil lasmuigh de ghnáthuaireanta. However, Damien McCallion admitted that all this is not enough to reduce the pressure on the health system to a fairly satisfactory level. D'admhaigh Damien McCallion, áfach, nach leor an méid seo ar fad leis an mbrú ar an gcóras sláinte a ísliú go dtí leibhéal measartha sásúil. Yesterday, the Irish Nurses and Aides Association said there were 760 patients waiting for a bed in hospitals across the country, the highest number in three years.

Príosún saoil gearrtha ar fhear faoi dhúnmharú Cameron Reilly. At the Central Criminal Court, a 23-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering an eighteen-year-old youth in Dunleire, Co Louth, over four years ago. Sa Phríomh-Chúirt Choiriúil, gearradh príosún saoil ar fhear 23 bliain d'aois faoi ógánach ocht mbliana déag a dhúnmharú i nDún Léire, Co Lú, os cionn ceithre bliana ó shin. Last Thursday, Aaron Connolly, from Ballybuli, Drumchora, Co Louth, was convicted of the murder of Cameron Reilly whose body was found in a park in Dunlere on 26 May 2018. Déardaoin seo caite, ciontaíodh Aaron Connolly, as Baile Bhuilí, Droim Chora, Co Lú, i ndúnmharú Cameron Reilly a bhfuarthas a chorp i bpáirc i nDún Léire ar an 26 Bealtaine 2018. In a victim impact statement read out in court today, Cameron's uncle Reilly said on behalf of the family that although the trial was over the suffering would continue. I ráiteas tionchair íospartaigh a léadh sa chúirt inniu, thug uncail Cameron Reilly le fios, thar ceann an teaghlaigh, cé go raibh deireadh leis an triail go mairfeadh an fhulaingt. Darren Flanagan said Cameron was an only child. Dúirt Darren Flanagan gur páiste aonair ab ea Cameron. He was the first grandchild in the family and he was everyone's pet, he said. Ba é an chéad gharpháiste sa teaghlach é agus bhí sé ina pheata ag gach uile dhuine, arsa sé. He was a happy and gentle boy and loved company, he said. Buachaill sona sásta mín mánla a bhí ann agus ba bhreá an chuideachta é, a dúirt sé. Cameron loved music and concerts, said the uncle, and he always sat in the front seat of cars with the desire to control the radio and sing the songs that were playing at the same time. Thaitin ceol agus ceolchoirmeacha go mór le Cameron, arsa an t- uncail, agus shuíodh sé i gcónaí sa suíochán tosaigh i gcarranna le dúil smacht a bheith aige ar an raidió agus na hamhráin a bhíodh ar siúl a chanadh ar an uain chéanna. Darren Flanagan said the family's life fell apart after the murder and nothing has been the same since. Dúirt Darren Flanagan gur thit saol an teaghlaigh as a chéile tar éis an dúnmharaithe agus nach raibh dada mar a bhíodh ó shin. Cameron Reilly was not just a name in the media, he said. Ní díreach ainm sna meáin chumarsáide a bhí in Cameron Reilly, a dúirt sé. He was a son, grandson, nephew and cousin, he said, and that is how he should be remembered. Mac, garmhac, nia agus col ceathar a bhí ann, arsa sé, agus is mar sin is cóir cuimhneamh air. For the family, he will always be our beautiful eighteen-year-old boy, said the uncle. Don teaghlach, is é ár mbuachaill álainn a bheas ocht mbliana déag go brách é, a dúirt an t-uncail. The trial was told that Cameron Reilly and some friends with him - including Aaron Connolly - were drinking in the park in Dunlere on the night of 25 May 2018, and that his body was found there the following day. Dúradh sa triail go raibh Cameron Reilly agus roinnt cairde leis - Aaron Connolly ina measc - ag ól sa pháirc i nDún Léire oíche an 25 Bealtaine 2018, agus gurbh ann a fritheadh a chorp an lá dar gcionn. Asphyxiation caused by pressure on his throat led to his death. Plúchadh de bharr brú a cuireadh ar a scornach ba thrúig bháis dó. Aaron Connolly's claim that Cameron Reilly was still alive the last time he saw him was not accepted. Níor glacadh le maíomh Aaron Connolly go raibh Cameron Reiily fós ina bheatha an uair dheireanach a chonaic sé é. Judge Tony Hunt sentenced Aaron Connolly to life imprisonment as mandated.

Ardú céadach ar phraghsanna mórdhíola fuinnimh in 2021. Wholesale gas prices rose 380% during 2021, according to new figures from the Utilities Regulatory Commission. D'ardaigh praghsanna mórdhíola gáis 380 faoin gcéad i gcaitheamh na bliana 2021, de réir figiúirí nua ón gCoimisiún um Rialáil Fóntais. This was a 260% increase in wholesale electricity prices. Ardú 260 faoin gcéad a bhí i gceist i gcás praghsanna mórdhíola leictreachais. The data published by the Commission today also shows that many domestic customers switched to other companies in order to get lower prices. Léiríonn na sonraí a d'fhoilsigh an Coimisiún inniu chomh maith gur athraigh go leor custaiméirí baile go dtí comhlachtaí eile féachaint le praghsanna níos ísle a fháil. Customers who switched from a normal tariff to a discount rate were particularly successful. Bhí rath go háirithe ar chustaiméirí a d'athraigh ó gnáth-tharaif go dtí ráta lascaine. They saved €581 on electricity and €316 on gas on average, according to the Commission. Shábháil siadsan €581 ar leictreachas agus €316 ar ghás ar an meán, de réir an Choimisiúin. While the official figures for 2022 are not yet available, it is known that wholesale energy prices have fallen significantly this year and are expected to fall further next year. Siúd is nach bhfuil figiúirí oifigiúla 2022 ar fáil go fóill, tá a fhios go bhfuil praghsanna mórdhíola fuinnimh daoirsithe go mór i mbliana agus táthar sealbhaithe de go ndaoirseoidh siad tuilleadh an chéad bhliain eile. The Commission is recommending that people continue to switch to other companies to ensure they get their money's worth. Tá an Coimisiún ag moladh do dhaoine leanúint orthu ag athrú go dtí comhlachtaí eile lena chinntiú go bhfaighidh siad luach a gcuid airgid. That or seek new terms from the company they currently have a contract with. É sin nó téarmaí nua a lorg ar an gcomhlacht a bhfuil conradh acu leo faoi láthair. In addition to all this, the Commission's figures show that more customers were in arrears last year compared to 2020. Ina theannta sin ar fad, léiríonn figiúirí an Choimisiúin go raibh riaráistí ar níos mó custaiméirí anuraidh i gcomórtas le 2020. 18% of gas customers and 13% of electricity customers were in arrears in 2021, an increase of 9% and 5% respectively from the previous year. Bhí riaráistí ar 18 faoin gcéad de chustaiméirí gáis agus 13 faoin gcéad de chustaiméirí leictreachais in 2021, sin ardú 9 faoin gcéad agus ardú 5 faoin gcéad faoi seach ón mbliain roimhe sin. 912 customers had their electricity cut off and 503 customers had their gas cut off in 2021 because they did not pay their bills. Gearradh leictreachas 912 custaiméir agus gearradh gás 503 custaiméir in 2021 de bharr nár íoc siad a gcuid billí. That's 1,373 and 534 respectively in 2020. Sin le hais 1,373 agus 534 faoi seach in 2020. New rules on power cuts introduced during the pandemic are said to have slowed the decline. Rialacha nua maidir le gearradh cumhachta a tugadh isteach le linn na paindéime is siocair leis an laghdú, a deirtear.

"Rannóga éigeandála ospidéil na tíre faoin mbrú is mó riamh". The accident and emergency departments of the country's hospitals are under the greatest pressure they have ever experienced, says a new report from the Health Information and Quality Authority. Tá rannóga timpistí agus éigeandála ospidéil na tíre faoin mbrú is mó a bhí riamh orthu, a deirtear i dtuarascáil nua ón Údarás um Fhaisnéis agus Cáilíocht Sláinte. As evidence of how bad things are, the report draws attention to the case of one patient in Limerick University Hospital who was waiting 116 hours for a bed - that's almost five days. Mar sholaoid ar chomh dona agus atá cúrsaí, tarraingítear aird sa tuarascáil ar chás othair amháin in Ospidéal Ollscoile Luimnigh a bhí ag fanacht 116 uair an chloig le leaba - sin beagnach cúig lá. That is one of the worst cases, however, and the Authority says that it is rare for patients to wait more than 80 hours with a bed. Sin ceann de na cásanna is measa, áfach, agus deir an tÚdarás gurb annamh othair ag fanacht níos mó ná 80 uair an chloig le leaba. As with triage care, it is said that patients can wait between one and three and a half hours, although not often. Mar le cúram triáiseála de, deirtear gur féidir le hothair a bheith ag fanacht idir uair agus trí huaire an chloig go leith, cé nach minic sin. Triage care is a preliminary assessment of the patient's needs and, of course, the patient's health can deteriorate if there is too much delay, says the Authority. Réamh-mheasúnú ar riachtanais an othair is ea cúram triáiseála agus, dar ndóigh, is féidir le sláinte an othair dul in olcas má bhíonn moill rómhór ann, a deir an tÚdarás. To top it off, it is said, there are not enough beds - or indeed enough staff - to prevent the lack of community health services. Mar bharr ar an donas, a deirtear, níl dóthain leapacha ann - ná dóthain foirne go deimhin - gan an easpa seirbhísí sláinte pobail a bhac. The report is based on an inspection of seven accident and emergency departments, namely Cavan and Monaghan Hospital; University Hospital, Cork; Limerick University Hospital; Mayo University Hospital; Sligo University Hospital; Saint Michael's Hospital, Dun Laoghaire; and St Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin. Tá an tuarascáil bunaithe ar chigireacht a rinneadh ar sheacht gcinn de rannóga timpistí agus éigeandála, mar atá, Ospidéal an Chabháin agus Mhuineacháin; Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Corcaigh; Ospidéal Ollscoile Luimnigh; Ospidéal Ollscoile Mhaigh Eo; Ospidéal Ollscoile Shligigh; Ospidéal Naomh Micheál, Dún Laoghaire; agus Ospidéal Ollscoile Naomh Uinseann, Baile Átha Cliath. According to figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association, 638 patients were waiting for a bed in hospitals across the country this morning. De réir figiúirí ó Chumann Altraí agus Ban Cabhrach na hÉireann, bhí 638 othar ag fanacht le leaba in ospidéil ar fud na tíre ar maidin inniu. 75 of them were at Limerick University Hospital; 68 were in University Hospital, Cork; 51 in Letterkenny University Hospital; and 47 in Tallaght University Hospital. Is in Ospidéal Ollscoile Luimnigh a bhí 75 acu; bhí 68 in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Corcaigh; 51 in Ospidéal Ollscoile Leitir Ceanainn; agus 47 in Ospidéal Ollscoile Thamhlachta.

D'fhéadfadh an teocht titim go haon chéim déag faoi bhun an reophointe in áiteanna in Éirinn anocht, dar leis an meitéareolaí Joanna Donnelly. He lived in the most isolated places in the coldest country. Is sna háiteanna is scoite sa tír is fuaire a bheas sé. In the base of the country, Joanna Donnelly said, the lowest temperature was seven degrees below freezing. I mbunáite na tíre, a dúirt Joanna Donnelly, is seacht gcéim faoi bhun an reophointe is ísle a bheas an teocht. Speaking on RTÉ, she indicated that the temperature could rise to the freezing point - or slightly below it - in the afternoon but that it would only be temporary. Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ, thug sí le fios go bhféadfadh an teocht ardú go dtí an reophointe - nó beagán lena chois - san iarnóin ach nach mbeadh ann ach seal. The temperature will drop again suddenly, she promised, especially as the day darkens. Titfidh an teocht arís go tobann, a gheall sí, go háirithe le dorchú an lae.

Dúirt Joanna Donnelly chomh maith nach bhfuil mórán frasaíochta ann faoi láthair, thar an gcorrchith cois cósta. There is always a chance, she said, of a white Christmas but, on the whole, Ireland's moderate climate is too kind to expect anything. Tá seans ann i gcónaí, ar sí, go dtiocfaidh an Nollaig bán ach, tríd is tríd, tá aeráid mheasartha na hÉireann róchineálta le go mbeadh aon choinne leis. A consultant geriatrician at the Mater Hospital in Dublin is petitioning the local authorities to spread more grin on pavements to save people from falling and breaking bones, especially the elderly. Tá geiriatraí comhairleach in Ospidéal an Mater i mBaile Átha Cliath ag achainí ar na húdaráis áitiúla níos mó grin a leathadh ar chosáin le daoine a shábháil ar thitim agus bhriseadh cnámh, go háirithe seandaoine. In addition to the health benefits, it would be a great relief for the hospitals, not to mention the Exchequer, said Dr Colm Byrne. Chomh maith leis na buntáistí sláinte, faoiseamh mór do na hospidéil a bheadh ann, gan trácht ar an Státchiste, a dúirt an Dr Colm Byrne. He indicated that each hip fracture costs the State approximately €11,700 - and even more if a person has to be transferred to a nursing home. Thug sé le fios go gcosnaíonn gach briseadh cromáin thart ar €11,700 ar an Stát - agus tuilleadh fós má chaitear duine a chur in ionad altranais. Dr Byrne said that elderly people also get hypothermia at this time of year due to their homes not being sufficiently heated.

Elon Musk could expect sanctions soon. D'fhéadfadh Elon Musk bheith ag súil le smachtbhannaí go luath. Twitter suspended the accounts of several well-known journalists after they wrote about the company's new owner, Elon Musk. Chuir Twitter cuntaisí roinnt iriseoirí aitheanta ar fionraí tar éis dóíbh scríobh faoi úinéir nua an chomhlachta, Elon Musk. He said, in a tweet, that the ban on publishing personal information applied to everyone, including journalists. Dúirt seisean, i tvuít, gur bhain an cosc ar eolas pearsanta a fhoilsiú le gach duine, iriseoirí san áireamh. This is widely known as doxxing. Doxxing an téarma a thugtar air seo go forleathan. It was personal knowledge to publish information about the affairs of his private plane on social media, as the @elonjet account did. An t-eolas pearsanta a bhí i gceist é faisnéis faoi chúrsaí a eilteáin phríobháidigh a fhoilsiú ar na meáin shóisialta, mar a rinne an cuntas @elonjet. This is information published by the Federal Aviation Authority about the course of each private plane. Faisnéis é seo a fhoilsíonn an Federal Aviation Authority faoi chúrsa gach eitleán príobháideach. Musk accused the account of having his son's car attacked as a result of this information being published. Chuir Musk i leith an chuntais go ndearnadh ionsaí ar charr a mhic de bharr an eolais seo bheith foilsithe. Other accounts were subsequently suspended although it does not appear that they published this information again. Cuireadh cuntais eile ar fionraí ina dhiaidh sin cé nach léir gur fhoilsigh siadsan an fhaisnéis seo arís. One of those is Kerry Donie O'Sullivan, who is a well-known CNN correspondent. Ar dhuine díobh sin tá an Ciarraíoch Donie O'Sullivan, atá ina chomhfhreagraí aitheanta ag CNN. The account of Mastodon, the social media company promoting itself as an alternative to Twitter, was also suspended. Cuireadh cuntas Mastodon ar fionraí freisin, an comhlachct meán sóisialta atá á chur féin chun cinn mar rogha eile in ionad Twitter. Musk said in April that he was buying Twitter to preserve and protect international freedom of speech. Mhaigh Musk thiar mí Aibreáin go raibh sé ag ceannach Twitter le cead cainte idirnáisiúnta a chaomhnú agus a chosaint. Shortly after taking over the company, he invited former President Trump back on stage. Go gairid i ndiaidh dó dul i mbun an chomhlachta, thug sé cuireadh ar ais ar an árdán don iar-Uachtarán Trump.
