Please, Cybersecurity Awareness Month Committee, you win. Make it stop. We’ve never been more aware.

I've been feeling like it's Wednesday all morning, and people say you should trust your gut so...

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

Seems like eMudhra just rolled a d6 to generate their private keys :p.

I normally wouldn'trepost some random US political ad, but this one's great!

This finally got me to watch the show, and I'm glad I did. 🤯

Who’d call this a planet? That’s just weird b

For every domain you buy this month I’m donating £1 to help rebuild Venezuela after the earthquakes. My in-laws’ homes survived with only a little damage, but so many people lost everything. I’m sure you have an idea in need of a domain nestling away somewhere, marque.at is the place to get it!

Everyone seems to be getting colds and other annoying sicknesses the last week or so. Autumn was clearly a mistake, we should've stayed in summer.

who called it going on a bender and not a leave of absinthe

I was just reminded of this wonderful piece of music from the Covid era. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1iG...

American politics is like if you're trapped in a room slowly filling with blood but the person next to you is screaming about how the world would end if every bug was a banana

Instead of lowering flags to half mast for Dolly, they should reinstate vaccine mandates. They should invest in public health. They should walk back discriminatory LGBTQ+ policies. They should stop banning books and fund libraries. That’s how you honour her legacy.

I've been listening to a bunch of Dolly Parton songs after yesterday's sad news. I love this duet she did with Norah Jones: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgZw.... Rest in peace, Dolly.

"It's like WeWork, but with linear algebra and a God complex" might just be my favourite line from a video essay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKoa...

Why is Apple so bad at ranking search results?

I built this silly little game where you combine elements into new ones. Heavily inspired by Little Alchemy and InfiniteCraft. combine.bigblind.me

ngl, calling things cringe is cringe af.

is this what they mean by trickle-down economics?

Just had my first small group workout session. Mostly strength training, with a little bit of cardio. For too long, I valued my brain more than the rest of my body, fueled by uncertainty of what I'm able to do given my disability, and fear of being judged. This feels like the start of a good change

I'm seeing both Walbi Holland and Hellendoorn are having trouble with their Huss Enterprise rides. i really hope these stick around, cause I love theese machines! I think the first time I experienced an inversion was in one of these. www.looopings.nl/weblog/33601...

Dear fellow men. When you go into a train bathroom to pee SIT THE FUCK DOWN`! Your aim probably isn't as good as you think, even outside a moving vehicle, and i don't wanna do my business in the middle of a puddle.

these are the guys that take you to horny jail

It's 1AM, and I can't sleep because after starting to read a book on free will, I'm going down a philosophical rabbithole about what free will even is. And honestly, i'm coming to the conclusion that free will is a shared concept/illusion, just likemoney and time, (especially lunchtime).

Yes local first, locally at our data centers around the world :p.

The longer I work as a programmer, the more I feel like enforced argument labels are a fantastic feature of Swift (originally from Objective-C), and I feel like more programming languages should steal this concept. It makes it so much cleaner what arguments mean when you pass them!

Excited to see this sihpped! This allow some fantastic accessibility improvements in web apps.

So apparently programmer metal is a thing? I can't stop listening to this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsfX...

I want a version of the 🍟 emoji, where they're in a puntzak (pointed paper bag), as all proper fries should be served.

Walibi Belgium is getting an RMC coaster, and I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT! i loved werewolf as a kid, and even though it's gotten rough, it's still sad to lose a rare Vekoma woodie. But so happy for what we're getting in return! www.looopings.nl/weblog/32880...

I think Ticket to Ride needs a "hulk" card that lets you smash your oponents trains and claim their track, but only if you're truly annoyed by their move.

"Fair."

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

the gap between "i built this with AI in 20 min" and "it took 3 hours to debug the regex" is the entire vibe coding experience shipping fast is great. understanding what you shipped? that's the part that keeps your app alive at 3am
