How're things with the thought leader, is he still "optimistic" about Trump now that Trump wants to basically start a war with Denmark?

just when you begin to think he's maybe not that bad, just trying to make it in a weird industry, he pulls of shit like this ram deal

this was mildly irritating (maybe even sometimes amusing) before 2022 but now it's fucking infuriating.

Testament just released their new album, Para Bellum. Way better than Brotherhood Of The Snake and Titans Of Creation, as they've toned down the black metal experiments (not fully though) and we're back to Bay Area thrash. It might replace Dark Roots as my second favourite!
Can we, for a second, appreciate the Director of Engineering who flat out refused to produce falsified data for the founder, telling her that he doesn't think it's legal, refusing further pressuring to do so.
So Javice had to contract externally to get the fraud done.

My weakly-held opinion on DHH's political ramblings: as far as my political views are from his, freedom of speech means he can express non-extremist views, including right-wing ones. Open-source, like workplace, has and will have people from different parts of political spectrum.
same here. with all the news around it's just too much to observe a conflict within the community that defined last 18 years of my life. also fingers crossed for attending tiny ruby in helsinki, my favourite european capital.
looks like a natural progression down the right-wing path

today i learned: les goddamns
judging by my bluesky timeline, i'm guessing the thought leader has shared another piece of wisdom with his views on society.
Diverse cities where strangers from different backgrounds respect, welcome, and care for each other are literally the most amazing thing to ever come out of civilization.
It's why I loved living in NYC so much, and why I want to move to London once our nest is empty.
he's at apple now
it's Goth, not Depressed

Yesterday evening Piotr Szotkowski, also known as Chastell, has passed away. Friend, partner, great engineer, wonderful person.

ChatGPT Deep Research + word2md + Obsidian, or Perplexity export-to-markdown + Obsidian are pretty good kick-starts to researching any topic one one's own.

Awesome opensource got released a few days ago: Copyparty, a self-hosted portable file server that runs on everything and with any browser. Check out the video with announcement:
This is an important question to ask. When mandatory ID verification is proposed, some of the first questions should be about how that data is going to be maintained, protected, and destroyed.
White floofy Great Pyrenees puppy with huge brown eyes and very boopable brown nose sits on sidewalk next to green grass and smiles at you
This floofy white Great Pyrenees puppy lies on a brick patio with a bright green lawn and trees in the background. He looks a little sad. Tell him he’s a good boy
When the news is overwhelming, it can be helpful to have an emotional support puppy. Today, we thought you might need two.

"bloodshed" has left early access recently. it's a combination of vampire survivors (most mechanics, including autoshoot) with a retro fps (aiming, dodging). climate and aesthetics are very close to "blood". hits a combo of dopamine releases i never knew could be combined.
200ms is the fixed response time (so basically a sleep(200ms)) from the application they used for testing: "subbed out our locally running “dyno” for a Puma server with a built-in 200ms lag on the /fixed endpoint."

She is very rare and only appears one Wednesday a year, RT and share so others can be blessed by the Transgender Dragonborn of Wednesdays
200ms is acceptable for a medium-complexity web application that fetches some non-trivial data from a large database, schedules some background jobs and renders a template
it's a weird interaction of new router and recent puma versions handling of connections: www.heroku.com/blog/pumas-r...
Heroku will have a bigger PR issue on their hands late next week, as they will forcibly move their largest clients to their new Router 2.0 which is not only undercommunicated but simply not working well (think p90 growing from 300ms to 6000ms) for larger apps.
Migrating from Twilio's Authy -- because it refuses to run on my Onyx Boox Note Air 3C, despite the system being unrooted and secure -- to Bitwarden Authenticator and I already love the latter. Syncing the 2FA keys in Bitwarden Vault is *chef's kiss*.

Privatisation is always the same.
Service reduces, investment becomes minimal… profit increases.
No one wins apart from shareholders.
Successful privatisation in the UK:

Unsuccessful:
❌ Water
❌ Energy
❌ Rail (service, tracks)
❌ Post
GitHub managed to make the files changed tab slower than it was before. This is astoundingly bad. 6 seconds to load the top of the page. 10 seconds to register hovering over a link. If you switch away to another tab and switch back, you need to wait about 2 seconds for it to render again. 🧵
