This is what my team has been busy with in the past few months. Always thrilling to ship functionality well aligned with what our users need. 🚀

I was still on here because it’s a convenient platform to follow some events in real time. The stream of nonsense from Elon and the hate speech constantly fed to me and everyone is too much though. Bye 🤙

@StanSportAU why does logging in to Stan fails or takes forever every morning? It’s ridiculous for a pod streaming service It’s completely hanging on the startup screen on LG TVs

Dear American Christian,

As @dharnanoor and @zoeschlanger have reported, #Project2025 promises that a Republican president (Trump or whoever) will gut America’s public weather agency, NOAA. And why? Because it produces some of the best climate research in the world. 20/n

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

@dustinmoris You could say the same about .net and other languages. You complain about a c# dev who doesn’t know f#? What about a senior .net dev who has never used another platform? What about a windows dev who hasn’t mastered Linux? This reasoning does not work :)

This is now a "skill" that developers put forward in BOLD on their CV :-/ KEY SKILLS ... Develop with AI powered tools such as Copilot, ChatGPT

What’s going on with lithium-ion battery prices? In short, they’re plummeting, and the implications are just starting to ripple out across the automotive and power sectors. A short thread:

Another way to look at it: Almost two-thirds of EVs available in China are already cheaper than internal combustion engine models. Still, intense price competition going on and it’s not clear how long everyone can hold on.

@Procto_Log Qui est-ce qui branle René?

Le NFP étant le phoenix branlant rené des cendres de la pitoyable Nupes, je ne miserais pas une bille sur la longévité de ce partenariat 😌

@MichaelEMann Good to see it coming back down, but isn’t still a mystery why it’s been so out of whack compared to the historical measurements? It can’t be as simple as « El Niño/La Nina »

Here's my abstract: "El Niño vs. La Niña". It comes with a figure:

Dans la série des candidat.e.s lunaires du #RN… Mon adversaire dans la #circo4201. Elle veut «découvrir et visiter» la circonscription qu’elle ne connaît pas. #Casino et ses milliers d’emplois supprimés ? «pas réfléchi au problème»… Dossiers à travailler ? «Heu…» Ça promet !

@simonwaight I’m tired of reading “Spearheaded XYZ”

@serbrech My favourite has been somebody submitting a tech test where their architecture explanation was a series of bullet points that actually didn’t have any depth and were clearly an LLM output. Minimal effort, no hire.

Reviewing pile of CVs. Please don't use LLMs to generate your CVs with wordy statements. Also don't start with half a page of languages, tools and frameworks. We're not hiring technologists. We're hiring software engineers.

Why France could implode. This is Germany - the feedback loop of incentives to work to create wealth where a portion pays for a welfare state (a good thing) doesn't work anymore and it's getting worse, with this specific example. But now, let's compare it with France.

Jean-Marie Le Pen a 3 filles : - l’une est la cheffe du RN : Marine - l’autre est la mère de Marion Maréchal, qui sert à l’image de sa tante Marine - la troisième a aussi une fille, dont le compagnon s’appelle… Jordan Bardella ! Et ça roule plein de monde.

@davidfowl @MrPeterLMorris haha, just like go, where you manually attach the stack trace to the error being returned.

@MrPeterLMorris Oh man and then we’d have to reinvent stack traces by manually capturing the back trace with more context at every layer.

Whenever I answer questions on GitHub, Reddit or Stackoverflow, I’m motivated to teach a course in deeply understanding exception messages, stack traces and more in order to get a better handle on what might be happening. If we could improve the developer tooling experience here, we would save millions of hours in total time spent playing telephone to diagnose problems. I don’t know if this is a chat bot or something more integrated into your IDE but it would be a huge leap forward.

Here's something @BehluliLedjon & I have been working on: locality-aware repartitioning for @msftorleans! It shuffles grains between nodes in the cluster to reduce cross-network calls, resulting in 30% to 110% throughput improvements in early benchmarks.
