Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅

(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

transcript from a new york times interview with trump about greenland: David E. Sanger We had, in Greenland — President Trump Oh good, because you needed them at the time. David E. Sanger — we had START. In the 1951 agreement, though, it says the United States can reopen these bases anytime you want. You can send as many troops as you want. President Trump That’s right. David E. Sanger And you haven’t done it. How come?

President Trump Because I want to do it properly. David E. Sanger And properly means own it? President Trump Really it is, to me, it’s ownership. Ownership is very important. David E. Sanger Why is ownership important here? President Trump Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do, whether you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document, that you can have a base.

David E. Sanger So you’re going to ask them to buy it? Katie Rogers Psychologically important to you or to the United States? President Trump Psychologically important for me. Now, maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything. Tyler Pager And you would use military force to get that? President Trump I didn’t say that. You said that. Tyler Pager I’m asking you. Would you? President Trump Yeah, I wouldn’t comment on that. I don’t think it’ll be necessary.

US politics is so stupid right now it's insane

trump doesn't want greenland for national security reasons

he wants greenland because he wants greenland

European Alternatives We help you find European alternatives for digital service and products, like cloud services and SaaS products.

It will take time (especially as an Apple user) make the technology and other products I own as independent from and non-reliant on American products as possible, but I'm finally getting started trying to do so. Recent events have been an impetus. This website is helpful: european-alternatives.eu

Es gibt auf der anderen Seite des Atlantiks nichts mehr zu gewinnen und auf unserer Seite alles zu verlieren.

President Emmanuel Macron:

“Where Ukraine was eminently dependent on American intelligence capabilities by an overwhelming majority a year ago, today two-thirds are provided by France. Two-thirds.”

Zwei Fliegen schweben vor einem Kiosk, vor dem ein Schild steht mit der Aufschrift "Hier gibt's BILD". Linke Fliege (sieht das Schild nicht): "Komisch. Ich rieche die Scheiße, aber ich sehe sie nicht."

Die BILD fordert den Rücktritt von CDU-Politiker Daniel Günther, weil dieser sich gegen Fake-News ausspricht. 🙃

The Register wrote a story about a single maintainer open source project, I think it's shameful and upsetting

So I wrote a blog post about it

An absolutely ridiculous amount of open source is one person projects. I have the data to prove it

Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland YouTube video by TEDx Talks

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule In an industry once known for cushy perks, some founders are now asking staff to commit to a 72-hour weekly schedule. You’re either in or you’re out.

My friends. This is not a good idea: www.wired.com/story/silico... - take it from every single wisdom tradition in the history of the world. You can love your work, but your work cannot love you back. Have more respect for yourself and your peers. Work hard. Do good work.

I guess that's mostly explained by generator templates being crowdsourced. There is no single person out there who can produce idiomatic templates for all of them. On the positive side, making improvements is just a custom template, and ideally PR, away.

github.com/OpenAPITools... has worked well enough in my experience. Caters not only to various ecosystems but also different libraries and frameworks within those ecosystems.

How to Pronounce VW in German (VOLKSWAGEN) YouTube video by Julien Miquel

Only good video of German pronounciation I could find haha youtu.be/AD3x3rdFfgM

Am German. No one I know spells the brand name out in casual conversations, it's always just VW.

On the bright side, at least Brexit is no longer the stupidest and most pointless act of economic self-harm of the century

Everyone have the weekend you voted for! Globally, honestly.

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20
