@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social just wait until they learn about archive.org and all the LLMs that have the data and … at that point CEOs and powerful folk now get interested in right to be forgotten GDPR ideas. This smacks of privacy from video rental data stinging congress people from way back when and now they act. Sigh.

<p>Ted Danson feels a bit strange about interviewing his TV “boss,” showrunner and writer Mike Schur. Of course, you know Mike as the creator of The Good Place and co-creator of shows like Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Mike talks to Ted about pitching The Good Place, how Ted’s role on the show took shape, why Cheers was the first show he cared about, landing his dream job at SNL at 22, and much more.Ted and Mike have teamed up again on a new Netflix comedy series, “A Man on the Inside.” All eight episodes are streaming now:  <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81677257">https://www.netflix.com/title/81677257</a></p><p>  </p><p>Like watching your podcasts?

Blogging is one of the best things you can do for your technical acumen, your personal profile, and your career. It forces you to learn what you write about deeply, teaches others, and is visible proof of your skillset. Yeah, it's uncomfortable sometimes and it takes time, but I highly recommend.

In every tech organization, there are some people that seem to know every system, everybody, and every problem. They're super helpful, and save coworkers months of wasted efforts, by short-circuiting dead end paths, sharing efficient workflows, knowing which services already exist, and generally having great technical judgement. *None of those skills are quantifiable on performance reviews, other than peers saying thanks (if they're lucky). *Many underrepresented engineers fill these roles.

The corporation behind #Redis is now starting to chase #OpenSource client libraries claiming trademark violations https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs/issues/1419 and are attempting to have the projects transferred to them. If it wasn't obvious before, now is a good time to fuck the hell off from that software. Just use #Valkey or one of the other alternatives.

Brey, I can't explain it any simpler than this: Planet is on fire, we know billions of ppl are going to die, we know it's capitalism and the fossil fuels it depends on that's doing this. And what are your leaders doing? What is your state spending money on? Solving this problem? Absolutely not. They're arming themselves to the teeth, militarizing security forces, criminalizing protest, hardening borders, increasing the size of their armies. You have to be a dipshit not to see what time it is.
