I've been reminded of the existence of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the contest is now over. I could watch that film any day. All day, even.
Not being on twitter constantly is unambiguously healthier for me but I just did a sporadic check and instantly saw the most unhinged techbro shit and I do miss it just a little bit
Normal folks hating on C++: it’s an old and memory unsafe programming language.
Me hating on C++: there is a convicted rapist and registered sex offender on the C++ committee and the committee leadership worked really hard to keep him there.

When running Kubernetes on a cloud provider, rather than locally using minikube, it’s useful to know which node a pod is running on.
The normal command to list pods doesn’t contain this information:
$ kubectl get pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE neo4j-core-0 1/1 Running 0 6m neo4j-core-1 1/1 Running 0 6m neo4j-core-2 1/1 Running 0 2m I spent a while searching for a command that I could use before I came across Ta-Ching Chen’s blog post while looking for something else.
