@jasondlee Cutting taxes and spending will not allow younger generations to buy a house. Raising wages would, but only if housing inflation was kept at 0.

@bmarwell @real_keychron I’ll be honest this isn’t my favourite layout, but I wanted the Hall effect sensors. I have a few 65% keyboards, but I can’t use them at work because there is no back tick character.

@bmarwell @real_keychron This one: https://t.co/0YWjBzzfom I like it, but I haven’t done anything that benefits from the Hall effect switches yet.

[Alasdair ([email protected]) @nottycode]

@bmarwell @real_keychron I have a new one waiting for me when I get home Sunday. I got one with Hall effect sensors. I have too many of their products. I like mechanical keyboards and they are a good option for lazy people.

@starbuxman I understand Eclipse OpenJ9 isn't affected, so if you are on 14.4 and need Java now, using IBM Semaru Runtimes is an option: https://t.co/hK0JJjirRk

@brunoborges Cutting up my PR card was the most stressful thing I’ve done in 20 years.

@speakjava the one that holds 236.588 ml.

@EliteGentleman @otaviojava @OpenLibertyIO The spec isn’t final so it won’t be in the main release.

@anghelides Yeah, I swear Pike’s ready room is larger than Picards entire bridge. Maybe this is a parallel world where everyone is 1/2 the size, but the ships are not.

@t_mammarella I just read about the layoffs and was thinking of you, I am glad that you have found somewhere. Good luck with your new role.

I will be really happy if commercial fission power generation is really 5 years away, but it has been 10 years away all my life. I very much hope this happens.

Announcing Helion’s first customer: Microsoft.

We expect to start producing electricity in the world’s first fusion power plant by 2028, dramatically shortening the timeline for commercially viable fusion energy.

Today I found out that the twitter iOS notifications all section doesn’t have all the notifications.

@BriannaWu The current British government does a lot of things that are in poor taste. They do not seem to understand recent history, let alone what happened 250 years ago.

At the Apple Store and I think I just heard the apple sales person claim you need more RAM if you travel a lot. Something to do with using it with an iPhone. I’d call BS to his face if I want half thinking I have mistreated him.

@tprstly @SteelSeries I like TKL, but I also have a 65% and 75% and they make the TKL look massive.

@jasondlee The code is going the wrong way, and it should be green.

This is the first time I haven’t presented the Liberty quarterly update in over 5 years. Sadly a personal commitment came up last minute, but I got an excellent group to sub for me and I’ll be here for the second run on the 20th.
