"It isn't capital that creates economical growth, it is people. It isn't self interest that promotes the public good, it reciprocity. It isn't competition that produces our prosperity, it is cooperation." @NickHanauer

@eashish93 @photomatt @wpengine The trademark means he owns the name.
He gave you the code. You can change the name to "LetterPress" and do your thing. But maybe that wouldn't have the same appeal and WP Engine knows it.

Por isso que amo a comunidade de Retromod.

Isso é um Wii no tamanho de um chaveiro!!

E não é emulador ou fpga, é um wii mesmo

Pessoal já aprendeu tanto em como cortar e diminuir a placa do Wii que chegamos nesse absurdo. E feito com muito esmoro aliás, mais no fio 🧶

Um sonho no 🪟Windows: Um app pra ler PDF que (1) priorizasse a exibição do PDF e (2) não fosse um navegador/app capado de qualquer funcionalidade que não seja exibir o PDF.

@terrajobst Although you nailed the idealist argument I would argue he is wrong.
He puts himself in a moral high ground and, ignoring reality, influences a lot of people.

This is not harmless. And he knows it.

@marcelgsantos @lixeletto Tenho múltiplas personalidades pra isso:

1. Graphviz (dot) pra coisas pessoais. É o que mais uso, sei de cor a notação;
2. Mermaid pra coisas relacionadas a código, dá pra comitar como documentação;
3. Miro pra colaboração/discussão

@nastyhobbit @b1rkh0ff @jwblackwell @jasonleowsg You want to be right? Then you are my man.

SQLite is not a production ready database, that doesn't scale to millions of users and doesn't support multi-user applications.

@nastyhobbit @b1rkh0ff @jwblackwell @jasonleowsg Bluesky launched on SQLite 👀

[Software Engineering Quotes @DevDogma]

Often programmers never get to see the full consequences of their decisions.

"Every software system provides two different values to the stakeholders: behavior and structure. Software developers are responsible for ensuring that both those values remain high. Unfortunately, they often focus on one to the exclusion of the other. Even more unfortunately, they often focus on the lesser of the two values, leaving the software system eventually valueless" (Martin, 2018, p. 36).

The median tenure of programmers tends to around 18-24 months. Therefore, most programmers are not in a position to have ever seen the long term effect of their early decisions.

"Discussions of software methodology tend to focus on the development phase; so do introductory programming courses. But it is widely estimated that 70% of the cost of software is devoted to maintenance" (Meyer, 2000, p. 17).

Making something work today is the most basic requirement. However, the real value of software is in its ability to change. If you have never had to maintain the software you have written and add features to it over half a decade you have never had your choices come back to bite you.

@VaughnVernon You will forget you have Bose Quiet Confort on, that is how comfortable they are.

After >1y pad materials will start to degrade. And, maybe, glue to your face like Sony's. But changing them is *very* simple. I do it every year, for 6y, before it is even remotely a problem.

When did software documentation go from detailed technical details on how a thing actually works to round-peg-goes-in-round-hole mind dribble? Documentation is overly focused today on people looking for fast "how do I do exactly X" user guides. 🤮

@eminetto Somos 2.

Tem o lance dos clients com protocolo. Da pra integrar com banco de dados no terminal e shell script, fazer várias coisas.

Saudades da época em que as coisas não eram ilhas proprietárias.

PS: problema era a experiência crua. Saudades zero dela 😂

@caarlos0 @eminetto Tem Spam pra caramba, mas nada que um bom client de e-mail não faça desaparecer com alguns dias de uso.

Infelizmente, o Gmail, como client. É praticamente inútil.

remember when a study in the nature journal deconstructed all of politics and it really just came down to this?

@strzibnyj Did the same for Arc Browser.

What gets me is asking before giving me access to the tool. In the end, everyone is stealing/monitoring personal data.

Many forget that the client-server architecture is a *distributed system*. The request-response workflow we have historically used helped us forget it. However, if you keep a WebSocket connection open with bidirectional data, you can no longer ignore it. 🧵

@giovannibassi Não sei se as cápsulas já são recicláveis, mas elas não eram.

Existe o programa de coleta, fundo para reciclagem etc. Mas a linguagem em tudo era bem cuidadosa em não afirmar que as cápsulas eram recicláveis. Elas não tinham ♻️.

Eles coletavam para "descarte consciente".

Are we finally over GraphQL? If yes, I am here for it🍿

Unpopular opinion: you should copy/fork/DIY your dependencies for everything but the most complicated or sensitive functionality (GUI, crypto, networking, etc.). Blindly depending on trivial functionality or having a deep dependency tree causes more problems than it solves.
