@feminaprovita Butcher block. Hear me out:
- yes you can’t put it in the dishwasher but I just wipe and spray liberally with white vinegar, then wipe again. Instant cleanup.
- durable: heck yeah!
- breakable: nope, it stays put
Bonus: if you have good knives, it keeps them in better shape.

Multi-head attention on LLMs reminds me of why diversity is important at a team level, helping to reduce anomalies induced by groupthink.

Ron Jeffries apologized for inventing Story Points.

He then went to call the whole idea of software estimation "evil."

Story points is the Emperor's New Clothes.

Everyone I've seen—and I mean everyone—uses points as a measure of time:

1 point = 2 hours
3 points = 1 day
5 points = 3 days
...

People knows this is what's happening, but nobody says anything. They just pretend they are being "agile."

What a cancer.

If your company forces you to participate in this charade, I'm sorry.

@tumblr @markarby Hi Tumblr, are YOU ok?

This is good UX. Instead of putting braille on signs located for visual reading (but ill-suited to finger reading), combine with hand rail.

This should be more commonplace, like inside buildings.

This is a railing at Castel Sant’Elmo in Naples and it has braille describing the view for blind people

Installed by artist Paolo Puddu, it allows visually impaired people to read the words of author Giuseppe de Lorenzo and picture the view

@ecology_chris That’s what I used to think. And then a friend from Mexico proved me wrong by bringing me a bottle of the real stuff.

The idiot who runs @EmbassyofRussia tweeted a pic of Crimea as part of Ukraine & is now praying they don’t get called back to Russia on a private jet.

The reality of their multipolar world right now sucks.
