next time I interview for any job, I ask, "will there EVER, under ANY circumstances be a situation where I will have to maintain a kafka system or even a kafka queue" and if there answer is even maybe I'll just walk away and say, "no TY" this has consistently been something I absolutely hate doing.

TIL there is a Trump Ave in Ottawa Canada, named after donald trump about 20 years ago. And yesterday the city decided to rename it after residents of the street decided they didn't want to live on a street by that name.

LNG Canada’s original plans for its Kitimat, B.C, plant included a commitment to operate "without routine flaring." That commitment was later removed from submissions to the BC Energy Regulator, and in 2025, almost 10 per cent of all gas transported to the terminal was burned off.

I hate this whole discourse which is a product of the students as customers model. Going to university is not a service with an intended outcome, it is a choice to take time to experience life and develop yourself. It isn't an investment that you can judge on how much money you make >

Margot Finn@eicathomefinn.bsky.social

'(Ironically, the history degree has proven hugely valuable in a business that is all about first-hand reporting, detecting narrative bias and the second source.)' Weird use of 'ironically'. Surely this value is also part of why so many lawyers have studied history at university.

sounds like a great source of revenue for cities if they ticket every bike lane pickup & drop off.

David Zipper@davidzipper.bsky.social

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.
