Unbelievable, this sucks. If you’re feeling angry about those idiots, remember not to take it out on people who are on your side.

My deep dive into the new Netflix #truecrime series, This is the Zodiac Speaking, are live mere hours before everything goes to hand in a hellbasket tomorrow. Lots of new, compelling evidence linking top suspect Arthur Leigh Allen in the series, but is it enough to give us any closure?

Deal. Sorry mine are a little jaded. 1. The recent Dem optimism is going to turn out to be unfounded - the Selzer poll was just a bad one. 2. Harris will turn out to be less ahead among women than expected, and men will close the gap.

Still not over how Arriguccio finished #TheDecameron. What a superb show.

You know what the world really needs? A high level charting library for JavaScript. One that reinvents the grammar of graphics, except makes it really shit and incoherent. I don’t think we have one of those yet.

Getting a bit tired of pearl-clutching over false or exaggerated ideas of AI rather than the actual social and ethical concerns. Like this story about the PLA using Llama. Militaries using open source code (despite license terms) isn’t a new thing. www.reuters.com/technology/a...

Here’s hoping this has the opposite effect to what was intended, and the credulous morons don’t ‘waste their effort’ voting

The comments on this are quite interesting. Fax machines are old and rubbish, and symbolise the private sector’s underinvestment in rail services. But also, if they still work then it makes sense to invest in improving other areas first. Like the train operators have done with… errr… oh.

If I didn’t have BlueSky my work messages would be a lot less constructive, to say the least. Thank you, Internet friends

A philosophy to live by, but especially for developers: don’t tear down a fence if you don’t understand why it was built in the first place. theknowledge.io/chestertons-...

Devs: we don’t want to mindlessly copy your implementation, it’s important that we rethink it. Me: yeah but instead you’re mindlessly building a worse implementation because you’re not thinking

Oh cool they also removed the one serious abstraction I put in place and just pissed the third party dependency all around the codebase.

Watching the devs convert my prototype to production code. Gleefully they stamp on every odd bit of code they see, not considering that maybe there’s a reason it’s like that. There is a reason, in the commit message. But it’s much more fun to re-introduce a bug and have to re-squash. What joy.

Seems a super insightful and helpful thread, but once again: USA wtaf please don’t do this to people

Reading up on the Mexico GP, apparently Verstappen got the penalty not because the stewards woke up, but because Norris kept ahead at the apex this time. Good for him for adapting. New racing guidelines due for Qatar that hopefully end the shenanigans once and for all. #F1
