@Chris_arnade Yea the vanilla story always amazed me. Took 300 years for someone to crack that one bbc.com/travel/article…

Possibly ignorant question: I’ve read extensively about the spice trade and its importance to ancient and medieval Europe, and its centrality to the Age of Exploitation and other things. Given Europeans had these spices, that some were claimed to be as valuable as gold, and that both periods were sophisticated in farming and botany, why didn’t anyone figure out how to grow their own — even in small amounts in greenhouses, which they had in various forms? Alchemy was supposedly a big deal. Was there an equivalent systematic attempt at spice cultivation? Why didn’t it motivate greater greenhouse innovation?

@latitude_fs The login works on a machine with English as the first language. My guess is your locale settings are broken for displaying other languages. Please fix this or I cannot easily pay my bill.

@logalvatron No worries! We are also available on other social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. If you would like to send us a PM there, we're happy to assist. ^Mike

@latitude_fs In your latest updates I can no longer login. Your website offers no easy way to contact you unless you are in Australia timezone. Can you please fix this so I can pay my bill.

@nrc Wow ik had geen idee dat de Nederlandse markt zo inelkaar steekt. In Australië is de verhuur vaak maand op maand en voor een prijs die niemand reguleerd.

Welk effect heeft strengere regulering op de huursector? De contouren worden langzaam maar zeker zichtbaar. „Recente signalen duiden erop dat de vrije huursector krimpt.” buff.ly/3Oj6Teq

United Air flight diverted back to Sydney due to 'maintenance issue' upi.com/Top_News/World…

@aviationbrk Our sfo to syd flight just diverted to hnl.

Incidents have plagued United Airlines in the past few weeks. Most notably United Flight 35 where a tire fell off a Boeing 777 during takeoff. The plane was diverted to LAX where it landed safely.

United 737 lands at Rogue Valley International Medford Airport with a missing panel from its fuselage.

@jasonfx Our united flight syd to sfo just diverted to hnl.

In less than a week, United Airlines encounters five news-worthy issues. One commonality? They are headed to or from SFO. 3/14/24 United Boeing 777-300 Sydney to SFO diverted due to "maintenance issue" 3/11/24 United Boeing 737-900 Houston to Fort Myers engine ingests bubble wrap and catches fire NOT SFO 3/8/24 United Airbus 320 SFO to Mexico City diverted due to hydraulic system issue 3/8/24 United Boeing 777-200 SFO to Osaka tire falls off from landing gear 3/7/24 United Boeing 757-300 Honolulu to SFO diverts due to right hand engine shutdown

Spent more than 8 months on this, and it’s the wildest story I’ve ever worked on. The Tasmanian government covered up literally thousands of cases of child abuse over two decades. The cover up continues to this day. #politas themonthly.com.au/issue/2024/feb…

Async traits in Rust just got merged. They should be released on December 28th. #issuecomment-1762750427" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/rust-lang/rust…

@ID_AA_Carmack Capital in the 21st century by Piketty

Book challenge I appreciate that there are many people who roll their eyes at my optimistic-libertarian-technological-triumphalist take on things, yet still interact civilly. I have had several meaningful conversations here, but the bandwidth is limited. If you are one of those people, suggest a book for me to read that you think will challenge my worldview. I will read it with an open mind and make some posts reacting to it. In return you will do the same for @johanknorberg ‘s The Capitalist Manifesto. Volunteer yourself and a book here. I will pick a few and run a poll tomorrow.

@etorreborre Good read. I also ended up creating a blocking and async module, which was not ideal.

@bernhardsson If you want skunkworks adoption which bubbles up to procurement organically, making it easy to onramp by not moving the data is important.

When prospective customers say "we need to run this in our own cloud account", may brain filters it out and what I hear is "we don't need your product desperately enough".

@boudewijnsteur Woon ondertussen in Australia, en was zo blij toen ik een engelse vertaling van kruistocht vond. Hebben mijn kinderen hier ook van genoten.

Op deze dag in 1923 werd Thea Beckman geboren. Zij heeft mij de liefde voor het lezen bijgebracht. Het eerste boek dat ik van haar las, was Kruistocht in spijkerbroek - en is daarmee toch wel mijn favoriet gebleven Wat is jullie favoriete boek van haar?
