TIL the online dating site OkCupid once (2014) warned Firefox users about the Firefox (then) CEO's stance against same-sex-marriage and offered them download links to other browsers.

- 7.2% of American adults are LGBTQ. That's 18.9 million adults, or larger than the entire veteran population.
- 11 million Americans are bisexual. That's more people than the entire state of Georgia.
- 3.6 million Americans are gay. That's more than the entire state of Utah.
- 2.6 million Americans are lesbian. That's more people than every single farmer in the country.
- and 1.6 million of us are transgender. That's TWICE as many as there are cops in the entire United States.
When people say "we shouldn't change our entire society just to pander to such a small percentage of it", that's obviously a really dumb argument from just an ethical stance. But it's also a really dishonest one. Because they would never say the same thing about veterans, farmers, cops, or the populations of entire States.

APIs are ubiquitous and critical to building modern software, and developers must frequently develop custom APIs to streamline user access to their services. However, making an API that provides a great developer experience can be a time-consuming endeavor. As a result, API teams often leave the final mile of integration up to their users. Speakeasy

Today we’re talking with Alice Merrick & Andy Walker about building a world-class developer experience. You know it when you see it, things just feel right. But it’s more than just a pleasant UI or lipstick on a pig (which is a saying), it really matters.
Last week AWS published a blog post advising that the go1.x Lambda runtime will be deprecated and people should migrate to provided.al2. I was already using the newer runtime, but I also learned from the blog post that AWS SAM can now build Go Lambda functions for the newer runtime - no more Makefiles required!

Nowhere to Go But Up
In the position of being laid off, employees would often over analyze why they were let go or what they will do after being released. It’s important to have a quick understanding of the situation. Taking a scan of what could have been done or what can be done. In the event that this does happen to an individual, the mindset of being resourceful on how else you can build your career will be an essential tool. In the field of tech, there are many opportunities out there. While it is still valid to let out how you feel in private, what’s important is that you know how to get back up on your feet and you make a plan on how to do it.

Una & Adam from The CSS Podcast defend their Frontend Feud title against challengers Chuck & Robbie from Whiskey Web and Whatnot. Let’s get it on!
Everyone: in the future, we could imagine every news outlet running their own fediverse instance, what a wonderful future that would be!
BBC: *becomes the first major news outlet to launch an official fedi instance*
Everyone, ten seconds later: we are fediblocking the BBC for being too right wing.
Great that the BBC is trying out Mastodon. I really hope it works out for them and they stick around, with extra accounts, after their 6 month trial.
But still in their replies people are trying to explain how to mastodon to them. What is it with this place that people feel the need to explain what they’re doing wrong all the time?
Just be cool.
@Drunkonhugs@eldritch.cafe It was a bug in Java's font code. When a font is rebuilt/replaced/updated, the cache wasn't also rebuilt, leading to a glyph table that no longer represents the actual font being rendered.
