With few exceptions, you should NEVER start generating new ideas in a group - always start with people writing ideas alone and only then move to a group setting. (We've known starting with groups is worse for 50 years, but people still keep doing it since it feels more creative)

@edjgeek This looks like an awesome feature, but I can't help smiling at any sentence that includes the words "simply" alongside "configure the CORS" 😀

One of the things that surprised me following last week's Jepsen report on Radix DLT (https://t.co/1A7lMz6oG8) was seeing both blockchain/DLT people *and* the database community go "Hang on, 16 transactions per second can't be right"--and expecting wildly different figures.

@knolleary @github I think it's possible to use GitHub Actions to auto-label PRs against a branch, then you can filter on the label.

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

@Samfr Seems sensible but I haven't seen any data.

@JWHallBaritone You only need to play the B in the last verse of Oh Come, All Ye Faithful. All other pedal notes are optional.

What is the most mind-blowing AWS service, you ask?

It's not EC2. It's not S3.
It's IAM.

500 million API calls EVERY SECOND 🤯... Imagine that.

Neat library for defining and running abstract state machines in Go. cc: @Lukasaoz who loves a good state machine and I haven't spoken to in far too long 😀 https://t.co/VkVETJeUS5

@dokun24 I'm confused. You look the same as usual.

@StephenKinder Thanks! It's on lichess where the ratings are a bit inflated. I'm probably about 1600
