There are many claims for the oldest pub in Britain. The most famous is the Trip to Jerusalem at Nottingham: reputedly opened 1189, but this was invented in 1909 by the landlord. In reality its a 17thC building that was used as a pub by 1751. So which is the oldest? ...a thread🧵

@davefarley77 (after JFK) - We do these things, not because they are easy, but because we _thought_ they were going to be easy.

Give me some of your favourite software engineering quotes 💬

1. 🧵 I'm in court today. Why? Because I'm not pretending anymore. And if you stop pretending that's what happens to you.

@WendellPierce Loved it AND Treme was better.

The beginning of the critically acclaimed series that changed television. Social commentary and art. An incubator of talent in front and behind the camera. A classic journey that speaks to generations; then, now, and those to come.

All of US history took place while Pluto orbited the Sun - once. (via @jkottke)

Elaborate jokes that will only be understood by like 5 people on the planet are the actual best

@ajpotts01 Also fleshed out the ansible chapter substantially now

@ajpotts01 Hooray! I've just posted some updates which should hopefully prevent some of the db file issues. If the file doesnt exits then docker sometimes creates a folder in its place. Using --mount instead of -v prevents this.

Here's an explanation of wtf even is Docker, from the WIP 3E of my TDD book - lmk what you think? 🧵

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski @RadoslawSikorski spoke at the UN Security Council on Ukraine yesterday. He devoted his speech to challenging claims made at the forum by Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzia that his country is the victim of aggressive Western policies. Thank you!

@michael_nielsen 😅

@hjwp Great book!

The idea of an anti-meme is, ironically, one of the most useful & easily spreadable ideas I've learned the last few years

If a train conductor asks me for my ticket I always spend as long as possible trying to find it in my bag, but somehow always manage to find it in my wallet just as they're about to issue the fine. It is wonderful to watch them climb down from their high horse.

@testdrivenio Always? Any cons?

Python Clean Code Tip Always use paginated queries Pros: - Prevent DB overload by requesting unlimited amount of data from DB (e.g., 100mio rows) (you might hit memory issues with code, but you won't bring everything down - problem will be localized) 👇

Inventions hanging out

J’aimerais qu’on débaptise le boulevard Lannes, à Paris, pour lui donner le nom d’Alexis Navalny. Ça obligerait l’Ambassade de Russie, qui est au numéro 40, à changer l’adresse figurant sur son papier à en-tête.

@loige @donkersgood @bob_the_mighty thanks for the recommend! you can also check out leanpub.com/clean-architec… by @tw_lgiordani

@donkersgood @hjwp @bob_the_mighty thanks a mill :) curious to deep dive on those!

I would like to make it official. I ❤️ onion architectures and the repository pattern in Python. Adding features, making changes and writing unit tests has never been easier.

More than half of all web-users have installed ad-blockers. It's the largest consumer boycott in human history: doc.searls.com/2023/11/11/how… 19/

'Greenland losing 30m tonnes of ice an hour, study reveals' This article is published under the category of "ice" which is like putting world war one under the category "guns." "additional source of freshwater ... might mean ... severe consequences for humanity" "additional use of guns might mean severe consequences for humanity" What the fuck do you mean by "severe consequences for humanity" @dpcarrington? Why aren't you telling people that no AMOC means 3-8C reduction in UK temperature overnight? x.com/rahmstorf/stat… Why the fuck don't you have an agricultural expert telling people this means half the UK population will starve and the rest will have to migrate? Like Gaza but going on forever. As a campaigner I am doing my fucking job - as a journalist you do your fucking job. theguardian.com/environment/20…
