how do people watch this

[Cassidy @cassidoo]

Open source companies often hire super heavily from contributors to their codebase!

If you're in an underrepresented group, it's a particularly great way to get your applications noticed. Check out if they have any "good first issue" labels on their repo, most big ones do!

@matteocollina Still waiting on any of our POs to even look at the files...

@techgirl1908 Is this one of those secret coded messages asking us to send help? 😋

@smokeismedicine Classes aren't free, neither by tuition cost nor by time investment. If someone has the luxury to take unrelated classes they always can but forcing more student debt on someone and delaying their ability to provide for themselves financially in their desired field is cruel.

@MaggieTziamou @davidasinclair The source of those carbs may matter much more than whether they are "good" or "bad". Consuming 20g of carbs from vegetables gives a bunch of additional vitamins and minerals, while 20g of carbs from a box of donuts provides little else. Removing hyper processed junk food is best

@MaggieTziamou @davidasinclair Increased saturated fat was also associated with a lower risk of stroke too!

[Alexander Clifford @AlexicalAbridge]

@MaggieTziamou @davidasinclair The free abstract that was linked details different categories of fats in the results section and yes total fat intake was linked with lower mortality rate (0.77) and even saturated fat was as well (0.86).

@pkolloch @diegosasw @grhmc For more control you can also use Sagas to control workflow. I hope the comparison to View Tables helps. Composing multiple streams/tables into new views provides so much flexibility for the type of data your services can operate on.

[Alexander Clifford @AlexicalAbridge]

@pkolloch @diegosasw @grhmc Couple different ways but most simplest is to create a composed event stream (event version of table view) of original source event stream + service A processed event stream. Either in reactive code in service B or as an actualized new stream using something like Kafka Streams.

@iamdevloper So far 90% of the "warnings" devs I've worked with end up writing poor code from a fundamentals point, but hey at least it looks pretty, right? Meanwhile I'm constantly cleaning up their race conditions and having to deal with broken builds because I left a trailing space in...

@ravenscimaven More pain than first time (March 2020), but basically no deep lungs failure so wasn't scary like before.

[Alexander Clifford @AlexicalAbridge]

@ravenscimaven Last week (probably omicron): thought I was developing strep throat until my lab tests came back COVID positive. 6 straight days of feeling like the inside of my throat was being flayed. Needed sleep but too much pain to sleep long. On the mend now (day 8), still tired. Vaxxed

@AdamRackis The Theranos trial isn't even done yet so you don't have to look far to see that just having investor money doesn't mean you've got a real product.

@finbaromallon @TessBennett I don't know about you but I don't think we can tolerate any system that negatively impacts half of people like this.

[Alexander Clifford @AlexicalAbridge]

@Chad_R_Stewart Junior folks most often limited to smaller scale function level decomposition, which honestly at that experience level is impressive and shouldn't be a hard requirement

[Alexander Clifford @AlexicalAbridge]

@Chad_R_Stewart From what I've seen it's a skill that continues to progress/advance from junior level all the way up to architect. As you get more experience+exposure+skill you can decompose larger problems, identify more alternatives, and call out more limitations/tradeoffs with each.

@SamHarrisOrg Time to finally wake up and realize Sam hasn't had anything useful to say in years
