We just celebrated Liberation Day over here in The Netherlands. Wanna take a guess who liberated us? Tip: it's not Somalia.

@MattWalshBlog The same or worse can be said about Americans @MattWalshBlog . Provide one example from anywhere in the globe, at any point in history, where a country was tangibly improved by Americans except to incur theft of natural resources, exploitation, & even invasion!

@satofishi Man I hope this becomes affordable in the next 20 years. Sign me up!

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

@tunguz Lock up the architect in it.

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

@stevelacey @RyanEls4 Exactly. I'm gonna call it YES-QL from now on :)

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

@RyanEls4 The photo you shared actually shows a perfect analogy of why storing json in a SQL database makes sense.

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

Happy 45² everyone!

Time for an update to reflect modern space launch systems. @LEGO_Group @SpaceX @elonmusk

We hebben via onze pensioenen bovendien allemaal belangen in deze bedrijven. Typische FUD campagne van oppositie partijen.

That's exactly how I see it. Makes the code so much easier to read. It results in increased lines of code with lower overall complexity. Better readable and easier to maintain, test and debug.

[Roy van Rijn @royvanrijn]

@trisha_gee @KentBeck It’s so helpful for readability, you can mentally eliminate cases.

If <something>, stop thinking about it.

If <something else>, also stop thinking about that.

(etc)

And you’ll end up with simple code at the bottom, no indentation, just the one thing you want.

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

I've never really understood why so many devs don't do that. To me it's "fail fast" on method level. Makes perfect sense!

[Trisha Gee @trisha_gee]

Literally just read about using early return in @KentBeck's "Tidy First?", and it broke my brain because it makes perfect sense and yet so many people say "don't do it"

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

Very well put!

[GT @GusTay5999]

The Truth about slavery @DavidLammy should listen to this as well as the @RoyalFamily @UKParliament @Nigel_Farage

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

That's a great analogy!

[Dan @KettlebellDan]

imagine what government agencies could look like in 4 years…

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

Crazy how fast Grok is able to process live events.

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

This nicely illustrates the general truth: "People expect too much in 1 year and too little in 10 years".

Dit fenomeen wordt beschreven door de Laffer Curve. Kortgezegd krijg je niet automatisch meer geld binnen wanneer je de belasting verhoogd. En omgekeerd is het mogelijk juist meer geld binnen te krijgen door de belasting te verlagen.

Er dreigt tegenvaller van honderden miljoenen euro’s voor schatkist. Verkoop tabak loopt laatste maanden fors terug, sinds paar maanden geleden accijns flink omhoog is gegaan. BBB wil zsm opheldering van kabinet. Wij hebben hier steeds voor gewaarschuwd nl.https://t.co/mwnprAG4dP

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

Sounds like you need @QuarkusIO

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

The perfect release to run on a Raspberry Pi!
😄

[Quarkus @QuarkusIO]

We released Quarkus 3.14. It comes packed with new features: Hibernate stack update, Let's encrypt support, faster reflection-free Jackson serializers and a lot more! As usual, we recommend quarkus update to update your applications. https://t.co/SuESdjfhkl

[Geert Schuring @geertschuring]

Couldn't agree more! The reliance on cloud services without any clue on how to replicate those locally by yourself can only result in hugely overpaying. Not to mention the lack of fallback scenarios.

[DHH @dhh]

If more developers ran Linux on their desktop, maybe they wouldn't be so petrified of running a server by themselves. We are unlearning the basics of the Internet at an alarming rate.
