I am fascinated by the trouble Boeing is having with develop their astronaut capsule. Every problem feels like a #DevOps lesson. latest: "This mistake stemmed from using substitute equipment during pre-flight testing rather than actual flight hardware".

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

This has to be the funniest video explanation of the @dagger_io that I’ve ever seen 😂 Well done @AupseLaurent m.youtube.com/watch?v=m5mauL… Note: voice is in French but there are US subtitles 🇫🇷🇺🇸

Hey @kelseyhightower I was listening some podcasts where you were interviewed, there were too many, so I decided to create a playlist, I really enjoyed the interviews and ideas you gave. Here is the playlist if your want to share. open.spotify.com/playlist/5WL3F…

@davecrockerart @Giovanni_Lido all portraits look the same these days, 'cause they're painted to a romantic ideal, rather than as a true depiction of the idiosyncratic facial qualities of the person in question.

@Giovanni_Lido I would like to offer you my most enthusiastic contrafibularities for sharing these fanphotoshpiously funiboniant portrates

@kelseyhightower 100%. Remember Colombo? Always dismissed as an idiot by the evil guy because of his dumb questions. But he always solved the case. Be like him.

Who knew there was a sort of hanky code for hexadecimal. Thanks Datamation magazine from 1968 #prelingerwiki

@joelnet so we should replace that final fetch, with a call to cache.add. the docs are unclear if cache.add will return the response after fetching it. if it does, then that would be cool. otherwise i guess we do a cache.add, followed by a cache.match.

@joelnet maybe I'm missing something, but if it isn't found in the cache, shouldn't we fetch from network AND add it to the cache? i don't see that in the code.

🧠TIL: You can add global caching for fetch GET requests with a few lines of code. #JavaScript source: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

One of the things I occasionally get paid to do by companies/execs is to tell them why everything seemed to SUDDENLY go wrong, and subs/readers dropped like a stone. So, with everything going on at Twitter rn, time for a thread about the Trust Thermocline /1

Someone with no domain knowledge of the application was able to debug an incident and find the source within minutes. This is a testament to the capability to ask any question about your data and be told where to look next. Unknown-unknowns! 5/

One thing they don’t teach you in business school is that product pricing is often determined through live negotiations with Stephen King.

So, we all know about John Snow removing the pump handle to stop cholera spread. But TIL, "After the cholera epidemic had subsided, government officials replaced the Broad Street pump handle." (wikipedia:john snow)
