@therealdanvega @reneritchie Text me when you get the answer. I’ve heard about this coming out for three years.

Does anyone know anyone know how to get this feature on YouTube? I have a long course coming out soon and I would like to put it in this format. @reneritchie

I miss this!!!!!

@RyanDGriggs Funny seeing the replies that realize VOLUME of interest is BAD...

There is already a way to fix this

What happens to your database that you just can't kill when you suffer a regional failure? Find out on today's episode of SELECT STAR! youtube.com/watch?v=yP-3tV…

@deepakl_2000 I haven’t read a Java book in ages so not sure I can recommend the best.

@gregturn Which is your goto best book for the latest Java 24 edition which you can recommend now. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

I started off with Java 1.1, which was the material in Java In A Nutshell, 1st Edition. This was the version that had AWT but not Swing. And I also had a copy of Visual J++, and was REALLY frustrated that half of the code in that book DIDN'T WORK!!!!

@ramnivas @ShadajL Congrats!!!

Attending ⁦@ShadajL⁩’s PhD dissertation talk. He worked really hard, cared a lot about doing things right, and pushed the boundaries of computer science. I am really proud of my boy!

Are you using .NET and need to use an entity management toolkit? Then checkout how ADO.NET ties in with CockroachDB on today's episode of SELECT STAR! youtube.com/watch?v=2n-lFy…

You didn't know? Spotify is the ONLY shop that has a shot at taking both YouTube and Amazon down a peg or two. * They scooped up Anchor and are becoming one of the top players in podcast sourcing including support for video podcasting. We simply livestream on YouTube through StreamYard, then grab the result and drop it on Spotify along with the same thumbnail and text (reformatted into HTML courtesy of ChatGPT. * They bought Findaway Voices and thus have the largest audio book distribution outside of Amazon/Audible. Spotify knows that content creation is growing exponentially and are going wide!

guuuuys did u know Spotify did video ?????? HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME THIS

@starbuxman “I want to work on the color schema, but Jimmy says that’s too much stone-shedding.”

Can you imagine the GANTT chart for this project? Did you know they got a lot of it done 5,000 years ago and then extended it.. with more stones.. 4500 years ago? Can you imagine the stone committee meetings?

@bsideup jQuery?!?

This very a$$ is finally employable again! 🥳 The longest break in my career, need to recall how to cook 🧑‍🍳 is jQuery frontends powered by Java-based REST services backed by MySQL still the hottest thing? 🤪 I heard about "AI", is it a usable auto complete in Eclipse IDE? 🤓

@chrylis Pretty sure that was the same bundle I bought. I think was Visual J++ with NT threw in on the side. And I jumped at it for that reason.

@gregturn I bought it specifically because it came with NT 4 and was available on academic pricing for less than a quarter of a standalone NT license.

I had a copy once with my copy of Windows NT. It had the coffee cup logo. It could run maybe half of the code in Java In A Nutshell.

An inside look at how CockroachDB leverages the Network Time Protocol (NTP) along with software-based compensation techniques to achieve reliable time coordination across database nodes. cockroachlabs.com/blog/clock-man…

In T-5 hours, @robreid_io will be joining us to talk about migrating your apps to the database you just can’t kill, along with a host of other topics. Don’t miss it! youtube.com/live/M8HJvzaUW…

1. I’ve mentioned SQL as the “first” DSL for quite some time. It’s evident that a sub language aimed at data querying that is simple and easy to read his this mark. 2. Even more importantly, the market has spoken. SEQUEL was built to be “reachable” by more than old gray neck beards. And reach it has. A past colleague of mine once said “SQL isn’t rocket science.” And he was right. And easy to use declarative query language has cemented relational database access across the industry. When seasoned pro coders, fledgling beginner coders, business analysts, and even program managers can approach SQL and harvest value everybody wins. And a winning solution will continue being used. 3. We tried ORMs. And they are still somewhat popular. But people putting them back on the shelf when confronted with challenging situations. Performance issues. Impedance mismatches. ORMs are proving to NOT be the universal solution that SQL is. Yes, don’t let your users provide unsanitized inputs to your queries. Doh! I have spoken with industry veterans than when confronted with hard requirements often must shed every ounce of unneeded “help” possible and get their hands directly on the SQL. Sounds like SEQUEL may have hit its original objectives quite well.

Five of my sites got hacked. EVERYTHING is up for grabs. One had been built up with a python script run by GitHub actions published to GitHub pages replacing the previous Wordpress site creating my own bit.ly. It’s a LOT faster now. Another has been my personal name site. It too was Wordpress. Now it’s statically generated @astrodotbuild site run by GitHub actions published to GitHub pages. It’s a LOT faster now and easier to manage. I’m in the middle of rewriting my @ProCoderShow site and using a lightweight shopping cart service that may let me ditch a couple more expensive SaaS tools, cutting costs in half. It’s also MUCH faster! And with Cloudflare in the equation, caching static html will be MUCH better!

every twitter follower: You should just write some stuff. me: redesign my website. got it.
