@kuvos This book I can recommend but just partially matches your criteria…

Beautiful Code: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think (Theory in Practice (O'Reilly)) https://t.co/dcLD7Ieuui

@LPWANinBerlin 😂 the device the man in front of the bananas is holding, reminds me of the movie Richie Rich 🤣

@stu @myfear @CloudNativeFdn Hi @stu , I’m sorry but I’m not getting the graph, showing the contribution. The headline says „% contributions“ but the y-axis tells a different story. Also I would assume not all companies contribute the same amount over time. I guess the graph actually shows aggr. LoC?

@headinthebox Because it reflects the vocabulary majority of people speaks. I rarely see UML properly used, that’s a pity.
What would you expect instead or on-top, @headinthebox ?

@danieldietrich Isn’t that a chicken-egg-problem? Without static documentation no large language models nor AI?

@mariofusco That seems too easy, just using a 40v battery powered angle grinder should do the job easily

@omniprof IF performance is business critical to you, you need to measure and compare both implementations [full stop].
If it’s not business critical I would rather spend time ensuring Tests are correct - e.g. the famous „09“ exception in Integer.parseInt() is rarely a requirement 😉

@RockerMilf There seems to be a theme, indeed.

Wow, didn’t know an M18 jaw wrench is that useful 😂🤓 (or, what’s wrong on this picture?)

@jyzg Hard truth: LED bulbs do fail because the power converter electronics do fail - not the LED filaments. And even worse: that’s a known phenomenon were a solution exists: just Google for „Dubai Lamps“ - that’s so much beyond any believe 🤔

@lukhash @edzard Hey wait… did no one spot the DeLorean DMC-12 model (ratio 1:20) below the monitor? What a dream 😂 @edzard

@engineers_feed Are you sure? I was under the impression (by Lockheed Martin advertising) that in case of a ground-to-air missile attack, the SR71 just continues flying, because mach3+ at 10k+ feet is just fine 😉

[Martin W. Kirst @nitram509]

@engineers_feed Well, it depends. Context is missing. There's no single correct answer. Assuming a gravity force pulling the 5kg mass away from the assumingly fixed hooks, then B requires less force. BUT: with zero gravity, the forces on A and B are equal if we ignore inertia ;)

@BatsouElef Do you think watching other people riding a bike improves your riding skills?

[Martin W. Kirst @nitram509]

@alexxubyte Interesting evolution.
But why you need an „remaining ticket calculation“ service, which updates the „remaining ticket query“ service every two minutes? At a speed of 1000 tickets per second this is 120000 tickets less per two minutes 😉😂

@tesseralis @PeterLawrey @tesseralis actually not that low of Elon, just watch the signature: assuming he got Vim started on an iPhone, would earn some respect of mine 😉

[Martin W. Kirst @nitram509]

@fmueller_bln Haha, they seem to send emails in batches… I received mine just now, the moment I read your tweet 😀 temporal coincident 😃

@JoergM Da bekommt „das haben wir schon immer so gemacht“ plötzlich eine positive, und bejahende Bedeutung - ist ja mega 😂

Gerade bei der KFZ Zulassungsstelle, Technische Änderung wurde eingegeben, das Programm sagt: XML Validierungsfehler🤦‍♂️ Konnte überzeugen das & zu entfernen, kein Erfolg 😥 #ratlos #UX #VerständlicheFehlermeldung
