Barry had his neighbour bring over the terrifyingly huge piece he found for a great photo op for all the journalists. That particular piece was 9 feet long, weighed 80 pounds, and was shaped like a freaking spear. It is shocking to think about that falling at terminal velocity.

I am grinning like an idiot because I was REALLY excited.

@b0rk I use them RW, but the big caveat there is I don’t recommend using submodules in general, so it’s really only for my own personal usage.

It didn’t occur to me when I read Hillel’s newsletter initially, but it’s similar reasoning to my rule of thumb to not trust people who can’t tell me what the downsides are to what they’re recommending.

#Linus Torvalds this week 👏 👏

"I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that 'well regulated militia' means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the 'wrong' clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with."

My attention has been drawn to this packaging design from HP, which presumably someone approved.

Someday I'm going to give a tech conference talk that's like "the best leadership books I've ever read" but instead of military memoirs and 'seeing like a state' for the twelve millionth time it's all going to be series like the babysitter's club, the saddle club, the princess diaries (although I was more of a Mediator girl), obviously Tamora Pierce

@b0rk there's three topics i see people struggle with: unicode, floating point, and time zone stuff

i'm not sure how some friendly it is, because it's all little details like "dates in future can't be utc normalised" or "here's how fast2sum works" or "you probably want to casefold not lowercase"

Made it to Grand Masters Nationals! What a funny sport I play, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Jesus and Grimace are cousins!” was not a sentence I expected to write today, but here we are. #etymology

It is so damned seductive to believe that you can automate the risk away.

I rarely do any frontend development that involves styling, but seeing the move to Tailwind and now Tailwind CSS confuses me - isn’t this just going full circle back to, well, CSS?

if you have a github integration that just started crashing, it's because the comment IDs have surpassed signed 32-bit range.

@cobyalmond It’s actually kind of nice!

@zenspider Bartender’s got too much access to my system to really give the new owners the benefit of the doubt - if they do turn out to be new stewards, I’ll take another look at it, but it’s also not irreplaceable.

Pulling my hair out all day over the question "how has this ever worked?" the answer many hours later: "by accident" and "sometimes"

Did I just get nerd-sniped into trying out SketchyBar because Bartender’s now burnt? Yes, yes I did.

@b0rk This is exactly the resource I’ve wanted for so long to point folks at.
