Very happy that a little piece of code I wrote when i was 17 still helps people today: github.com/gentoo/elogv and so humbled to see people write patches to keep it working in 2018

@antirez I have 48gb, if you get ds4 to run there, would be amazing 😆

Let's see percentages across the bubble.

@GergelyOrosz This is so terrible. Do they think people use Mac just for fun? Even so, I don’t like these reactions, Period. I disable them every single time I use the camera

Who ever decided at Apple that it's a good idea to ship "Reactions" as an OS-level feature on Mac, with no way to turn it off, on when you use e.g. external cameras as well. It crashes some apps, fantastic (and no way to turn off across the system, only per-app, for some apps)

@antirez Great to have you on this side! 😃

So: this just happened to me. Google is unacceptable even in the in the phones side, very well. Going to buy a iPhone, no other way around I guess: reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/…

@mitchellh Totally agree. A similar thing I’m getting tired of is iPad apps that are mostly an enlarged version of the iPhone one. As avid iPad user, I see the UX suffer

I completely understand the business motivations and DevEx challenges so I don't fault companies, but I really, really miss beautifully crafted native macOS GUI applications. Stuff like Kaleidoscope, Git Tower, etc. still hold up but you rarely see new problems solved this way.

@GergelyOrosz Are you serious that Twitter exit should be attributed to Parag? Why is that?

There's no shortage of success stories from ppl switching jobs and being better off. It IS nice to see that, at least sometimes, being good at your job AND staying pays off. Parag got Twitter an incredible financial exit, and Satya is arguably one of the best CEOs of all time.

Going to say it: both Satya Nadella and Parag Agrawal are a refreshing counter-balance to "switch companies every few years for a better position/more compensation." They both rose from sw eng to CEO of their respective companies: unlikely they would have done if hopping jobs.

@Katlab_UCL I have a further question, which is: why do we need Mr, Dr, Mrs, Miss etc titles in the first place? 😅

And so, this happened. I arrive at my gate, Amsterdam airport. The staff ask me if I got my flight wrong. They are only expecting two men, they say. I present my passport. But why does the system say you are a Dr, she asks? Shocked, I manage to utter that I am a woman and a Dr.

@robbyrussell Resetting network settings doesn’t do the trick? It does on iOS I believe

Wish MacOS had a way to just mass 'forget' Known Wi-Fi Networks that it's connected to over the years. Does anyone ever manually go through and clean out each one...individually?

@matteocollina You should not have any obligations, if you don’t want to spend time anymore just flag it on the Readme maybe, adding also “maintainer wanted” sign

One of my ~500 modules got a vulnerability reported. Fixing this would require at least 3 days of work. I don’t use this module and currently I don’t have a good reason to spend any more time than the minimum to keep it alive. What would you do in this case?

@bagder I remember this design principle of python requests API: 1. refer to the HTTP standard, 2. In doubt, do whatever curl does

"I think you could replace 99% of the uses of Curl ... with like 100 lines of Python or Rust or Go" news.ycombinator.com/item?id=341849…

@antirez it’s clearly happening!!! :D

"We have scanned 645 of 645 users you follow on Twitter and discovered 17 Twitter users on Mastodon who have previously linked their Twitter and Mastodon accounts."

@rakyll does does anyone read them anyway? 😅

Never ever write a job description again 😂

@thekiro sembra quindi che costa molto poco accettare carta anziché contante… Magari possiamo iniziare ad offrire ai commercianti di pagarla noi la commissione se sono riluttanti ad accettare il POS

Un po’ di numeri sul costo delle commissioni e del #pos

@GergelyOrosz I’m not sure even Chase can help. Sometimes banks outsource the issuing software to other companies

"Why was my card declined?" "Looking at logs: because your issuing bank, Chase, sent back the do_not_honor code on auth." "Why did they send that?" "Don't know. Chase won't talk to me. I'm not a customer. They won't tell you either. But it was likely an ML model deciding."

@antirez Employers usually are in a position of advantage. But I agree that it’s part of the game that separation may be initiated from both sides

It's a bit confusing to see IT workers changing position every 12 months to reach incredibly high salaries, now playing the role of victims of the layoffs. Both things are totally nuts: to jump from one place to another continuously and to be fired in the matter of hours.

@arnaudporterie @hotelsdotcom You should have shopped local and use Booking.com 😃

I booked a hotel on @hotelsdotcom but it turns out 1) the location was incorrect 2) the advertised parking didn't exist. Hotels.com support admits to no fault as the hotel's page has since been fixed. Never using this website again.

@arnaudporterie The new feature is amazing! A dream 😃

# Kids release notes 20221008 ## Features - 6yo feeds 3yo breakfast without waking up the parents ## Fixes - fix(dnd): knock before entering daddy's office ## Known issues - Telling the 3yo "no" may result in thrown objects - Poop may randomly happen outside designated places

@matteocollina YAML 😁

Creating a good developer experience for config files is… HARD!

@GergelyOrosz I think as long as you accept a digital payment, credit or debit does not matter. As a foreign with no Maestro cards, I was forced to use cash at supermarkets 😅

A surprising thing is how lower margin merchants in the Netherlands collectively have resisted accepting Mastercard and Visa in a large number of stores - eg grocery stores. Why? B/c credit cards - unlike debit cards - charge merchants a lot more. The Dutch said “no thank you.”

@GergelyOrosz who would have ever imagined it 😃

Interesting how, in 2021 I observed lots of startups not finding product market fit pivoting into web3 in hopes of finding it. In 2022, I’m observing more web3 startups pivot away from that space in hopes of finding it.

@jessegenet @_kaizensoze I think 1:1 to be effective require some cadence that force you to do them and build the relationship to do them well. If weekly is too much, you can do biweekly or monthly

@_kaizensoze My solution: Direct reports are responsible for adding time to managers calendar as often as they have meaningful updates/questions and are responsible for providing the agenda. Someone might next 3 meetings in one week and another person 0 based on the work on their plate etc.

Controversial take: Weekly standing 1:1's with every direct report are largely a waste of time and create bricked out calendar hell as organizations scale.
