Sacha Chua (@sachac on twitter) does so much good work with her Emacs news blog posts. If you are slightly interested in the Emacs ecosystem, I totally can recommend to read it.
Seriously. Why is it so hard to find trousers in my size? I like cargo pants, but getting some in W34/L36 seems nearly impossible
I'm looking for a new hobby side project to learn Rust. Anybody any interesting ideas?
In MRNA vaccines and Clarke's Law: JESUS FUCKING HOLY GODDAMNED SHITBALLS Cory Doctorow writes about the new mRNA vaccines:
If you convert a single closet in a conventional factory to mRNA production, it will make more doses than the rest of the factory combined. Only part of the factory needs to be a high-spec cleanroom facility, and the rest can be cheaper and more easily maintained.
This new technology is indeed fucking amazing!
An interesting article about the dispassionate developer. The author claims that we should not be passionate about our work.
As you start to ponder the implied ethos, the stranger it gets. Would you like engineers to be passionate as they design new bridges? Would you like a surgeon to be passionate as she operates on you? Would you like judges to be passionate as they pass sentence on your friend?
I'd like such people to care about their vocation, but I'd prefer that they keep a cool head and make as rational decisions as possible.
Jakub, the guy behind the Zaiste YouTube channel, published a pretty interesting interview with Henrik Lissner, the creator of Doom Emacs
Arm-breaker tech unlocks new markets by delaying defaults on unpayable debts. The zombie economy shambles on.
From „the zombie economy and digital arm-breakers,“ an article by Cory Doctorow about the current state of economy and debt.
Dependabot is actually pretty handy
It's slowly getting lighter again in the morning when I go with the dog. Spring is coming! 💖
JSON RPC is the new XML RPC
I… must resist… the temptation! as any is not a proper solution! as any is not a proper solution! as any is not a proper solution!
Refactoring code thrown together in a hurry is not fun at all…
I knew of dogs that howl to wolves or sirens… but our dog loves operas and starts howling (I'd like to call it „singing“ 😜) to them every time.
A repost of https://briefs.video/videos/why-the-indieweb/
Heydon Pickering published a pretty amazing short film about „Why The IndieWeb?“ as part of his webbed briefs series.
If you haven't already, go and watch it! I like it very much.
Wow, wtf? A malware for a male chestity IOT device. I didn't even know these devices exist, and now they have malware? 😲
A repost of http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/google-forms-spam.htm
Christian notices that Google Forms is being used to send spam e-mails. I see this, too. Since a few months I get several Google Forms spam mails per day, and my spam filters are not yet adjusted to this new form of spam.
This is why we can't have nice things. Fuck you very much, spammers.
Happy new year!
Happy christmas, everyone. 🎄
While I first avoided „The Great Pretender“ because it did sound boring, it actually is pretty funny 🤣
„Rewarding CEOs for failure“ - heads they win, tails we lose.
