Why is everyone confidently asserting that Musk deleted all the tweets from 2014 and earlier with a twirl of his evil moustache when the far more plausible scenario is that the storage just shut down because he's fired all the people who knew how to keep it running, or because he hasn't been paying the bills for it?

Had an awesome job lined up. High profile editorial, Ghost CMS, tight timeline but healthy budget, awesome producer. Found out the client is a Jan 6th insurrection apologist and had to decline. I’m not picky about work right now but I draw the line at treason and fascism. Anyway, if anyone wants to do a project together, I have availability!

I went to three in-person conferences this summer. All asked attendees to COVID test every other day. The first "encouraged" masks, and had a COVID outbreak. The second "encouraged" masks, and had 10 percent positivity by the second to last day, at which point they started requiring masks. The third REQUIRED masks indoors, and had zero positive COVID tests.

Hi there, if you don’t want me to hit you, please carry this sign that says “please don’t hit me” with you always. Otherwise, I can’t possibly be held responsible if I hit you. Because it’s in my nature to hit you. I can’t live without hitting people. It’s just who I am and what I do. Thank you for your understanding in this delicate matter. Sincerely, OpenAI #ai #optOut #openAI #chatGPT #bullshit

You don't need a full-featured testing framework, or something that outputs in JUnit format, to get the value of a red-green-refactor loop. All you need is a feedback mechanism, which can be as simple as "does the exit code for this process indicate an error or success?". Kent Beck's test-commit-revert demo using python does exactly this - no importing a framework or test runner, but leaning on python's built-in `assert` keyword. https://youtu.be/Aof0F9DvTFg?t=220&si=D7afjzT2GvTEhTQn

What's your personal minimal acceptable lead time for a conference talk? If you submit a talk proposal, and it's accepted, then you'd expect to be notified of that acceptance some time prior to your talk, so you can prepare and rehearse well and sort work and travel around the conference. What's that minimum time for you? (Boosts would be nice, thanks!) [ ] 2 weeks [ ] 4 weeks [ ] 6 weeks [ ] 8 weeks or longer
