I just donated $100 to the @internetarchive. archive.org/donate Did you know they've been hosting the Stack Exchange data dump since 2014? stackoverflow.blog/2014/01/23/sta…

@lauradobrzynski ♥️

So thanks @balpha for talking about an aspect of Stack Overflow that I’ve heard few people talk about publicly, and thanks for being the type of person to listen to other people’s perspectives and reflect on them. Miss working with you!

Working at Stack Overflow set the trajectory for my whole career. It was amazing in many ways, but it had some very big culture problems that not many people wanted to talk about. A “make this the best place for developers to work” philosophy creates a lot of collateral damage.

Ben is the longest tenured employee at Stack Overflow and he joined because of unicorns. It was his first developer job and he loved it. Then one he realized he might be an asshole to work with. New @corecursive episode is out and its Ben's story. Starting from coding side projects to working on one of the highest traffic web sites out there. And ending with a reflections on personal character and the perils of engineering driven orgs that frankly I needed to hear.

@marcgravell Who are you and what did you do to Marc?

The C# """ syntax is definitely growing on me, for things like inline SQL and Lua - very nice to not have to worry about whitespace on the left or first/last lines, while having clean formatting:

@dan_abramov That reminds me a little bit of @olivier_ramier's idea with mapedia.org

@Cake_Tease 🤗♥️

@ManishEarth That particular section is about someone who *finds* (not even intentionally receives) a classified document on a subway platform and apparently is liable if they don't immediately hand it over to the authorities.

@balpha that seems to be about someone who *does* have access to documents improperly retaining them, which is more on the leaker side of the spectrum than the leak-ee leaking is absolutely illegal, the question is what happens once something is leaked

this is funny but also serious q: is it actually turbo illegal in the US? it's illegal to *leak*, but if you're just a private entity without clearance what prevents you from using what has been leaked?

@ManishEarth LegalEagle did an episode on this recently: youtu.be/POYDOWNq-jE (relevant section is at 9:20-10:20)

I suspect the answer has to do with the Espionage Act, and probably specifically 18 USC § 793, where it basically goes "yeah free speech doesn't matter if you happen to stumble across defense secrets"

@mistersql @tinkertim I'd say between stackoverflow.blog/2022/10/20/int… and archive.org/details/stacke… we're close enough 😄

@balpha @tinkertim Stackoverflow needs to send a copy of SO to Svalbard for the guy that ends up with all the code and no one to ask how to fix it. archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/

@mistersql @tinkertim Nah, no drama here, but Tim is right, you need to be able to look up how to quit vim or undo a git commit even after the apocalypse.

@tinkertim waaaaa? is there drama at SO? or are we talking about the usual threat of global nuclear war and the like

@alexlmiller Man, this would've been the perfect picbot image

Day 3 of WFR kicking off - yesterday I learned how to reseat dislocated joints (it's surprisingly easy?) and played the victim for some heavy duty improvised splinting. Wonder what today will have in store

@rossipedia @typescript I consider myself pretty decent at typescript, but I still don't have a complete intuition for the semantics of never 🤷 I assume you're working on something like this? #code/C4TwDgpgBAKlC8UDeAoK6oDMD22BcUA5AI4CupAHoQNxoYBGAhgE4ECMAzCgL60oD0-LAEsANsAjNhAOwDmUAM7ApcgLQA3RqNIQAJlDDNsYBVFWqo9UsCgAiHNltRmEALaMZpxlADWEECigkFAAYgjIdOgA2j5QMr7+2JiwALoEMDEpUBAUEtK6pkoq8gD8UNIQ6pLpmbTcgeDQANLhfiBJobSCGAB6JSgCQphiEsWKyjKyGlo6+obGpuZ2Dk7CprLYFQ3BAOLhqBhQMXHSCe3JcIymGT5ZOXkF42NlFVXMUAS3Nbd129AAMq1Eskdl0hOg+iggA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">typescriptlang.org/play?#code/C4T…

@rossipedia @typescript I assume your use case is more complicated than the example 😄 but any reason you can't use some form of Omit<> or Exclude<>?

@playdate @TYMplaydateshow @Guv_Bubbs Yes please! I'm in group 4 and my FOMO levels are going through the roof 😬😄

What a 2022. Thanks again to @TYMplaydateshow and @Guv_Bubbs for making this happen. And congratulations to every amazing nominee. We're just getting started. Here's to an even more incredible Playdate adventure in 2023. But first, we just gotta ship the rest of these things…

Did you catch last Thursday's big gaming awards show? That's right, the 2022 Playdate Community Awards! They were wonderful. Awards! Games! You should really watch the whole thing: youtube.com/watch?v=TW2SHh… 🧵 Here's a big thread of some of the highlights. Enjoy.

@British_Airways 👋 Hi there! You might want to fix the seating map on britishairways.com/en-gb/informat…. It looks suspiciously like the Airbus A321neo, and not at all like a 98-passenger narrow body 😄

@rossipedia They have played us for absolute fools!

@Cake_Tease Ouch 😟 Quick recovery!

@dsgkirkby That you? @dsgkirkby" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.lol/@dsgkirkby

@indy_singh_uk @rossipedia Oh yes, I forgot about that!

@balpha @rossipedia stackstatus.tumblr.com/post/147710624… is what I'm thinking about
