I feel like the amount of stuff seemingly being built on top of Apache's datafusion indicates that this has a chance of becoming critical infrastructure soon.

The England squad that flew to Germany in 2006 was packed with absolute wrong'uns.

From shagging grannies to battering DJs, meet England's last golden generation...

Just look at these WhatsApps from a private school parents group…

If only the wealthy would mobilise this well to help others

Not just themselves.

@_abialas @rakyll With RSU gains over the last 18m, a reality of being a Principal/DE in a public tech companies is that the handcuffs are currently very shiny.

@EBallroomCamden do you have stage times for The Hold Steady tonight? Cheers!

@EventimApollo do you have the stage times for The Smile tomorrow?

@noelwelsh Best way to learn Rust is to spend a few months writing it and screaming at the borrow checker 😉 Compared to Go the first year was pretty grim, but after a few years it’s now my first choice for most of the domains I work in.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans. 
We request privacy at this sad time

Just tried the official @Twitter app since @tweetbot is still blocked. What an absolute pile of steaming nonsense the official client is 💩

[Edd Robinson @eddrobinson]

Uh oh 😕

[Tweetbot by Tapbots @tweetbot]

Tweetbot and other clients are experiencing problems logging in to Twitter. We’ve reached out to Twitter for more details, but haven’t heard back.

We’re hoping this is just a temporary glitch and will let you know more as soon as we know more.

Real developers code in ... Google Docs? We just added a new function to inject formatted code into your docs, or format existing code that's already in there. Supports a handful of popular languages so far.

In case you are not in the UK we are now going from approx £30 billion tax cuts to approx £54 billion of tax rises in 55 days. Under the same party.

@brendangregg Fascinating!

[Philip Oldfield @SustainableTall]

France is not fucking around

New legislation demands all *existing* carparks with 80 or more spaces must install a solar roof (in 3-5 years)

This could generate up to 11 gigawatts, which is the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors

Okay, okay. A thread on why this is a screaming red flag as a Cloud Economist...
