@JamesHalcrow Is that waster Stephen berry or act Stephen berry? Wait

Dumb guy who doesn't get an old 2020 bit

lol “snapper eftpos is down” the weekend of homegrown. Smooth move by the teams

@shiftygeek Yeah it’s a pity, here is crackheads now, bsky is too relentlessly whiney, masto was too gatekeepey for me, fb is an ads wasteland, and thread is full of the thickest people you will ever see. Now I just watch insta reels and it’s ngl had a massive personal happiness improvement

@shiftygeek No one’s on here any more

@visakanv Fantastic

@oddynz it's done!

@JamesHalcrow lol 90s vibes

Working at home on a friday is so elite

@ErikSTownsend @ARottenOldOne @MacroVoices @ARottenOldOne here

@ErikSTownsend @ARottenOldOne @MacroVoices While I agree that MSR is the clearly superior fission tech, that article doesn’t mention anything about Helion and how their tech is different to trad tokamak-style fusion at all? I would be interested in your thoughts about their markedly different approach

My latest substack post goes a little deeper than the @MacroVoices year-end specials in making the case for Thermal Spectrum Molten Salt Breeder Reactors offering a superior solution to nuclear energy transition than the fast spectrum reactors the Tech Bros are betting on.

@IainFletcher8 @ryxcommar This

@ryxcommar I assume you aren’t a really doing anything with that data because it really is.

I think the biggest scam people tried to sell me before I got a "real" "tech job" was that working with 100,000 rows of data is somehow fundamentally different from working with 100,000,000,000 rows of data. It's just not.

@Las______ @isaiah_p_taylor Idk what your definition of “real” is but a game that 3,500,000 people have purchased sure works for mine

"Factorio Space Age" is insane because it appears to be one of the most legitimately dangerous drugs with the potential to gigafry your brain but is exclusively taken by cracked engineers who unironically want to "just play for a little bit" and basically get oneshotted by

@MikeSmith_10X @DeveloperHarris Miele bothered to make it work for powder (but only 20 loads at a time), but it’s just a way for them to de-commodify detergent so they can charge 6x more for it

@MikeSmith_10X @DeveloperHarris Also “moving parts” are the enemy in general

isnt it strange how dishwashers need you to insert detergent every time why does it not have its own tank from which it can dispense as needed and you replace it like once a month

@charlie0824 @DeveloperHarris This x1000

@DeveloperHarris Because it creates dozens of points of failure to perform a task that takes a human 5 seconds.

@guyontheearth @DeveloperHarris You should start designing and manufacturing appliances

@DeveloperHarris I have moments like this with every piece of equipment I ever use. Why don't they have a simple thermometer in your over so you can know when the meannis cooked and thr alarm goes off? Why do "time" anything anymore. It's dumb.

@ewanmakepeace @DeveloperHarris Bigger

@DeveloperHarris Related question. How come at a launderette I can dry all my clothes in something like 20 mins and at home it takes 3 hours in the tumble dryer?

@Lingonkiwi @ChShersh Actually how the real world does it haha

@ChShersh All Yeses are 5's, all No's are thrown out. You are welcome.

Here’s a simple 10-minute tech interview coding task to filter out people who can’t code and don’t know basic school math. Given ratings like ‘Yes’ and ‘No’, convert them to a 1 to 5 star rating scale.

@kinrany @mitsuhiko The one I just described. More detail here loglog.games/blog/leaving-r…

@oddynz @mitsuhiko What problem is that?

As community we need to recognize that. Rust is just ahead of its time. Memory safety, fearless concurrency, ownership semantics, mainstreaming ADTs, community drama, ideological forks, trademark woes.
