This quote is wall poster material: "For any given topic, there is a gap between the supply of what we actually know and the demand for what we feel we need to know. Everything that fills this gap is bullshit."

@QuinnyPig Take care. See if you can reach the slowing down pinnacle; being bored and having no plans. It's a luxury.

@grajat341 @George_Kurtz This is an uninformed knee-jerk response, superstition or maybe attempt at humor. Nothing wrong with deploying on Friday as long as you have good 24/7 ops and escalation. This would have happened on a Tuesday as well.

@xucian_ @RichardDawkins I came here to say this^^^^.
But the way the female body changes during pregnancy, and during and after birth is mind boggling to!

@ibuildthecloud @offlinehacker The real question on everyone's mind is: what will we se first, a good Linux DE or cost-effective nuclear fusion? I want to know!

@perbu @robsmallshire Too late! 😅

@perbu @robsmallshire Is it a USB 3.1/3.2 internal header?

[Stig Bakken 🏳️‍🌈 @stigsb]

@housecor It doesn't have to be one or the other. You always make these tradeoffs, and if you know what your bottleneck will be, then by all means have performance in front of mind. Avoiding unnecessary copying for example may have design implications that can be hard to retrofit.

@Grady_Booch With the electricity grid being disrupted by intermittent renewables causing wild price swings, IMHO it's a rational decision to become energy self-sufficient for data centers. And then nuclear is the best option if you actually care about environmental impact.

@ibuildthecloud Spaces makes for consistent rendering of the code. Tabs can do that only if some tool enforces that all indentation beyond the line start offset uses spaces. I don't understand why people even bother with the "smashing spacebar" and file size arguments, that's BS

@perbu @bootrino @htmx_org Did you try loading the new image in an invisible img tag and swapping in the onload handler? Worked for me in 1997.

@perbu On my phone I've renamed it back to Twitter and replaced its icon. I'm such a rebel.

@robsmallshire Thanks for taking one for the team^Wrest of us! I took one too in my distant youth, hmu if you ever wonder what actually happens if you put dishwashing fluid in the dishwasher.

WARNING

young engineers are being exposed to frontend TOO EARLY

it causes PERMANENT damage to their still developing brains

studies show growth and income can be stunted FATALLY

severe cases become ADDICTED to nextjs and tailwind

AVOID FRONTEND TODAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

[Stig Bakken 🏳️‍🌈 @stigsb]

@SwiftOnSecurity @QuinnyPig @cliffb_infosec Too many.

@ibuildthecloud I saw a game dev team once that used mapreduce to calculate top player lists, when a cached SQL query had been enough. (This was in the middle of the nosql period too.) Update latecy was 30 minutes, when it could have been 2 seconds.

@bytebytego Worth highlighting Consistent Hashing here!

@svpino ChatGPT would be much worse without Stack Overflow, and may suffer from its own success. I hope there will be an equilibrium.
