META: if you see a bad take on twitter & don't respond because the person is obviously looking for a fight, do you have to assume everyone else just believes the bad take?
"I am shocked our libertarian news site is actually authoritarian-fascist & wants to overthrow the government & replace it with fascism, shocked! I shall rename it Meta immediately." https://x.com/mistersql/status/1453801190391787520/photo/1
Code without unit tests isn't so much legacy code as undefined behavior. It is "not even wrong"

There is $1.3 quadrillion of $ in the world. $2T of that is crypto. That is 0.15% of the money. I wish crypto was 0.15% of the discussion of money.
gitlabciyml is actually Welsh and here I was always spelling it out.

This OS library is an uncovered manhole on a street filled with people in a parade.
Developers try it, waste time on it, only to realize it is unmaintained & does appear to do anything.

How to post a job:
-
GIS Analyst job, doing meaningful work for Library of Congress informing legislature to write intelligent laws. Remote now, but lots of uncertainty about long term, you may need to commute to DC.

There, was that so difficult?
How to advertise a job on twitter:
Job doing [job title/primary skill], doing meaning full work for [who]/[why**]. [Remote]/[Office in [State]].
** emphasis on WHY
-
W/o that you might as well type ASDFASDFDSACZCVXZ & click send & call it a day for all the clicks you'll get.
If it is tech work, stop advertising it like minimum wage work for people desperate for a buck to avoid starvation. The "I don't care if you even know what this job is about 'cause all you want is money" attitude is a sign it is a bad job.

Both snyk & sonatype have free-ish versions of their package scanners. & npm has it's built in, but imho, useless `audit` command, which offers to upgrade & break everything. https://x.com/BleepinComputer/status/1451954522079875076

web scanner:
submits GET add/?y=alert("hello")&x=alert("hello")
api: HTTP 500, error (or HTTP 400, that isn't even a number)

Yeah, but when real people try this, the UI will have everyone on mute & each side will just be looking at empty chairs. https://x.com/HeinzVHoenen/status/1451948724545064964
Login flows should have a "I am under duress" workflow. I guess by locking yourself out? https://x.com/EFF/status/1451972941520916483
zoom formats
- meetings
-- broadcast (1-3 people talk to 15)
-- podcast (1-3 people talk in front of 15)
-- 1:1, one person talks to one person
More formats
-- legislature (every talks via formal turn taking)
-- live coding/w commentary
-- live coding/w/o (shoulder surfing)
-- break out/rejoin (I've never seen this happen organically)
-- "club penguin" - move your avitar & instantly breakout room created for adjacent avatars
-- pseudo-window (8 hour zoom with cameras on)
What I'm saying is we all could experiment more with more formats.♡ 1 ↻ 0I missed "caucus" - legislature but no formal turn taking. Everyone thinks they're doing caucus, but really it is mostly podcast because 90% of people aren't aggressive enough to jump in & talk.

Gitlab deploy scripts should have a "dinner time" trigger, where you can manually click "deploy" regardless to success or failure of early jobs, but only if it is dinner time.
I'm watching a presentation on predicting who dies on the titanic and wondering if there is an optimal ticket to buy for a cruise vacation to minimize the odds of dying. What I mean to say is take a spare door.

With remote work, outside of all-hands meetings, I almost never see senior management anymore. In person, I'd encounter them occasionally. No one schedules a 2 minute zoom meeting to replace that.
Huh, I thought this joke was at least as good as "Why do they call it oven..." https://x.com/mistersql/status/1450974547071619075

This is pretty typical way for non-techies to design a database- the fear of deleting data is so strong that you end up with databases with false, harmful data in it. https://x.com/bioinformer/status/1450867718949847040

Did a full reinstall of Chrome & the laptops CPU is quiet, no fan running. Either I'm getting dumber or it is harder every year to figure out what app is the resource hog.
I forgot to backup my bookmarks, oops. I guess I need to find a better way to do bookmarks. I don't really want to sync my whole chrome profile (plugins and all), & I don't want to mix work bookmarks & home bookmarks.

I'm now envious of my daughter who is a cyborg with 3 metal pins holding her bones together. Amazingly they put them in (drill & pin) without incision. I visualize something like a nail gun. Once you get to the specialists, the technology is impressive.
Paperless billing is a scam because most paperless billers don't send me a bill by email, such as Toyota Financial. They just want the late fees.
Daughter (5yo) broke her arm. Needs to transfer to another hospital for surgery but all the ambulances are busy because of covid cases keeping them occupied.

You can't effectively use the multiprocessing module on a laptop w/o some way to throttle based on CPU temperature, else the machine just crashes in 40 minutes.
