Dit kabinet wil dat mensen die hier veiligheid zoeken, pas na twee jaar hun gezin kunnen herenigen.

Om mensen te dwingen om jaren gescheiden te blijven van hun geliefden is inhumaan en in strijd met alles waar we als samenleving voor zouden moeten staan. https://t.co/UrEKMJ0j4J

Meer tanks, stoppen bed-bad-brood, 1 miljard bezuinigen op onderwijs en wetenschap, weg met groen beleid, minder krimp voor schiphol, niks te maken met oproep WHO….nederland stapt terug in de tijd, met een middelvinger naar milieu en solidariteit met toekomstige generaties. 😢

- Small in code base and easy to maintain
- Dedicated DBs
- gRPC communication 10x faster
- Easy to unit test their functionality
- Easy to scale

Juli 2023: mobiele telefoons moeten uit de klas.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk slams Senate Republicans for blocking aid for Ukraine:

"Dear Republican Senators of America. Ronald Reagan, who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today. Shame on you."

Thanks to MAGA Republicans, our allies don't trust the US. This is a total disaster for our national security.

New Blog Post From the @golang team: Fixing For Loops in Go 1.22
You can read the original blog post here: https://t.co/Z46akYL1Cf, summary below.

The problem
The below should print a,b,c right?
It will actually print c,c,c. This is due to https://t.co/ELHfLEq4oq

Its also possible to face this issue without concurrency:

In Go 1.22, the Go team are changing for loops to have per iteration scope instead of per loop scope.

This is kind of a big change, so this will only apply to go programs that declare go 1.22 in their go.mod file, or use the GOEXPERIMENT=loopvar environment variable.

Google have been running this change in production since May 2023 and have yet to see any issues with it.

Another great milestone and another great blog post by the Go team!

We zijn veel en veel te ver gegaan. De mensen die op de toppen van die pieken staan zeggen nu “er wordt niet naar ons geluisterd!!”

Maar je hoeft maar naar dat plaatje te kijken en je weet: er is veel te lang naar ze geluisterd.

Everyone says the Intel 8086 processor has 29,000 tiny transistors. But I counted and found 19,618. Why the difference? It turns out that most counts include "potential" transistors as well as real ones. Let's take a look and find out why.🧵

Working in a large tech company, one thing I wish every team had (but barely any have it):

A “map” of the teams that you depend on, that depend on you, and ones that are coupled to your work in one way or the other.

One map for engineering teams; another for non-eng ones.
