Everybody please post your 2026 Bingo card now, so when in 2026 you inevitably post that something was not in your bingo card we can confirm it was indeed not in your bingo card. Happy New Year #2026 #HappyNewYear #NewYear

The #Internet was a bad idea. We should have stopped at #LAN parties. Prove me wrong. You know what? don’t prove anything, I don’t care, I’m right and deep in your soul you know I’m right. #SocialMedia #AI #SocialNetworks

Yeah, yeah, #Java 25 sounds great but when is the real problem with Java is going to be addressed? It’s time to accept that Duke as a mascot sucks. It’s not cute, it’s not funny, it’s not charismatic, it’s boring and it’s uninspiring. It’s time to retire it so it can hang out with Clippy.

If people keep referring to Twitter as X, nobody is going to stop me from referring to the #Nintendo #Switch 2 as the “Super Nintendo Switch”, because that should have been the official name from the beginning and deep in your #gaming soul, you know I’m right.

#Java 10 introduced `var` to infer the type on local variable declarations, which is nice, but then, JVM developers wrote a document with 4 principles and 7 guidelines to explain how to use it because it's not as simple as let or var in other languages. Why bother? just don't add it to the language

"undefined behavior" is insane bc it appears to be one of the most dangerous programming language semantics w the potential to gigafry ur brain but it’s taken by literal turbonormies who want to like "not add runtime checks" and basically get oneshotted by it

Not particularly impressed with full-line autocomplete, at least those based on a local LLM. It's not just that it gave an incorrect completion, it's that it looked fine at a glance but introduced subtle bugs. Cue 20 mins tracking down an `all` that was flipped to `any` in the completion.

The reason the #C #programming language doesn’t require any kind of automatic memory management is because it uses braces: { and } Once code is surrounded with braces, it’s protected from memory leaks. If you ever find a #memory #leak, it means you are not using enough braces around your code.

I really enjoyed playing this game, technically superb and a lot of fun to play, crazy weapons and smooth interdimensional switching. It’s an Unbearably Awesome video game #insomniacgames #ratchet&clank #ps5 #ratchet #clank #rivet #kit #insomniac #CraigGoodman 🙏

I’ve used both, #Mastodon and now #Bluesky. Bluesky is user friendly, users just go to a website or download an app and create an account, which is a workflow that regular users already know very well, very low friction. Mastodon is like asking regular users to install Linux on their PCs.

I’m not saying #Mastodon is bad, it maybe even be attractive for us nerds but it just has too much friction for regular users.

I’m really not interested in following political news and commentary for at least the next four years. I invested too much energy on it this year. I’m spent. I like that in #Bluesky I can keep that topic at minimum and still enjoy all my other interests.

1/2 How to write good. 1. Avoid alliteration. Always. 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.) 4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc. 5. One should never generalize.

I still see content online using a “phone book” as an example of dictionaries or hash tables. I wonder if new generations that are learning computer #programming had to look up what a phone book is. #computers #software

The plot twist with AI technology will be when #AI reveal to us that we ourselves are AI too that started billions of years ago.

Don’t forget that religions are Pro-Rape as much as they’re Pro-Life. It’s easy to forget because they’re only loud about one of them and maliciously silent about the other.

one of the hard things about being CEO of a media company these days is having to choose between copilot, gemini and chatgpt to write your layoff announcements

Let's talk about James A. Harris, the co-discoverer of Rutherfordium and Dubnium, elements 104 & 105. He was the first African-American to be involved in the creation of a new element. Born Waco, TX in March 1932 BS in Chemistry at HBU Hutson-Tillotson College in Austin, TX.

The #SuperBowl feed here in #Bluesky is lame. It’s only comments on how the super bowl is morally wrong, Israel-Palestine opinions, and how horrible Taylor Swift is.

Hey everyone! I'm new here... I'm looking for a place where I can share my thoughts, on various topics I like. I start with sharing one of my last abstract art creation. It's called "Art for the Heartless". Looking forward to know someone on this social! Have a beautiful sunday! #abstractart

I believe that #Bluesky has more opportunity of becoming way more popular than #Mastodon. From branding to marketing to usability, I think it’s going to be more appealing to the regular user.

This is awkward but when I heard about #Bluesky I wanted to try it right away so I requested an invitation, time passed and I forgot about it, then I didn’t care, then I got the invitation and I accepted it and here I am with a brand new account but nothing to say and now I don’t what I’m doing here
