Cursing past me because 5 years ago I wrote some code but did not write down even 1 line of docs on how to create a build (CI would count as docs here but alas).

I just...don't want to have to install a specific app to handle 2FA or always have cell service to be able to log in... Sendgrid get a grip.

Remember how big the interconnection queue for new generators was last year? Guess what – it’s 30% bigger now! It is now TWICE the capacity of currently operating power plants.

See the annual “Queued Up” report from @BerkeleyLab at https://t.co/f22Rk2ru9u. Thread!

Tech geniuses: self-driving vehicles are a difficult engineering problem, but trust us, we’re going to solve it

This is frustrating - if you're homeless, what is more disruptive than having to get yourself to the CoV to get services when your family, workplace/school (or child's school) and community are all in another place.

Receiving the 2022 Housing Progress Update.
A stunning data point that exposes a broader issue.
Homelessness is a regional challenge; our solutions need to be regionally focused. Provincial partnerships to fix the inequities below 👇🏻 are needed asap. #vanpoli #homelessness

Yet again, it is wild to me that Canadian cell plans make it nearly impossible to phone a US number (The next country over) for an affordable price.
For the record my current plan would charge me $1.50/minute or I can buy an add on for $7/month to get unlimited calls to the US.

[Julia Duimovich @jduims]

lol this is true in Canada too (for both OAS, CPP and, EI) and it is MIND boggling that it doesn't piss more people off.

@ErynnBrook My god, he literally presents AI as a solution for people who can't afford to get medical care, as opposed to any number of solutions that might actually work . This is going to go /so/ well.

@martynschmoll @VancouverBuzzer @pladner When Agustín's family visited Vancouver in November to receive his honorary Masters from UBC they hadn't received a @VPDTrafficUnit report yet. Unfortunately his fiancee can't file a claim with @icbc until she has the police report.

@patio11 @ByrneHobart I get this, but a lot of people dependent on social services for survival feel disenfranchised or otherwise regularly punished by an uncaring system and expecting those folks to have societal trust despite society showing that they actively don't care is asking a bit much.

Just realized the keyboard I'm using has a "CD eject" button and got sad that it didn't do anything when I pressed it.

I wish more people deeply understood that being able-bodied is temporary.

@KojoIdrissa Here's some brain endorphins for not having stirred the pot ✨ 👏

@chrisjrn @Ducky_Tape @judy2k Yeah but we all hate Canada geese so it's unlikely to be something the mint tries

[Brian Bartholomew @BPBartholomew]

The California grid faces another massive challenge this evening.

CAISO kept the lights on last night as electricity demand surpassed levels last seen in the August 2020 blackouts. Load is forecast to test all-time records today through Thursday.

[David Fisman @DFisman]

New Postmedia-bot talking points appear to be (i) healthcare system had collapsed before covid and (ii) investment in our healthcare system to patch it up again is “communism”

Again, I think this is strategic…”it was already broken and only privatization will fix it”.

Compared to White Americans, Black Americans are ~4x more likely to die while biking, ~2x while walking, and ~1.5x while driving.

Graphs below show deaths per 100 million miles traveled. @MatthewRaifman

turns out not coding for 6 months and then writing code is a whole full experience 🤯
