10 USD donation to #AdventOfCode is just over 8 British Pounds. Much more worthwhile than a blue tick box.

I do miss the endless chaining of methods in ruby calories = totals.sort_by {|k, v| v}.reverse[0..2].to_h.values.sum #day1 #AdventOfCode

Anyone know of a sample MySQL/PostgreSQL Database schema with unoptimised queries / no indexes etc suitable for a junior to play with and view the result of changes? Feels like something that should already exist

@shs96c Cup some water in your hands, make sneezing noise, release the water. I do not miss air travel

I guess the “asking” thing is nice in theory, but if you’re just going to do it anyway, perhaps just announce or apologise instead.

Hahaha! Lady in front of me on the plane asks if she can recline her seat once we’re airborne. I say I’d prefer if she didn’t, because my knees are already wedged against the seat. She says she’ll do it anyway. I have no idea why she asked if she’s just going to do it anyway.

Not saying it's cold today but I'm considering recompiling shellcheck

@haerench @KrisBuytaert There are more mastodon users on twitter than on masterdon? ;)

Funny how some folks reply to a mastdodon question on twitter :)

"He does the work of 8 people" "At the rate people are asking to transfer off his team he'll have to."

Such a shame to hear about the passing of @RealKevinConroy the voice of Batman for many of us. Every bit as distinctive and important as Bales growl. I'm so glad he got to play him in person in Crisis on infinite earths in the arrow verse.

@mipsytipsy There might be something that catches you eye under "Watch the webinars" gds.blog.gov.uk/2020/06/02/wha…

does anyone have suggestions for talks, courses, books, or other materials that someone like me could use to learn more about creating an accessible work environment (physical &/or virtual)? would love to hear from others what they have used... googling is not yielding answers.

@solomonstre From the outside it being something you have to even consider going to Walker is just pure insanity. And I realise I'm in a very large #UK shaped glasshouse as I type that.

@unixdaemon Georgia saved us in 2020… And Warnock can still win this. I’m rooting for them!

Well done Michigan! Florida… we have to talk 🙄

When you're financially struggling being able to juggle bills, don't pay this one this month, pay it next month and don't pay that other one instead, is one of the few flexibilities available to you. Prepay or no service kills that. Should people need to do it? No. Do they? Yes
