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.
Code Geas: about a boy with daddy issues
„Austerity breeds Nazis“ - an interesting review by Cory Doctorow about an article stating that austerity is a factor for breeding Nazis in a society
the new relation handling of apollo's InMemoryCache is causing me headaches…
Hu. I didn‘t know that there are Rust bindungs to Qt. Cool!
I am a lunatic with 4 keys :(
A nice article about backwards compatibility at Google. Bonus points for referring to Emacs :-)
tl;dr: Google sucks because planned obsolescence for APIs.
Maybe. But to be honest: why should they? Canonical is already doing pretty much everything in MS‘ favor?
It‘s been predicted for quite some while, yet it still hasn‘t happened. 🤷♂️
Wanna feel old? The babymetal artists are now over 20 years old…
Yes! I really liked She-Ra!
This is way to much power for one company. https://themarkup.org/google-the-giant/2020/07/28/google-search-results-prioritize-google-products-over-competitors
I ran >5k km in 398 runs since I started tracking my runs back in 2015, with 1250 km in 2020. This quantified self movement thingy is really pretty interesting.
It's quite interesting to see how political the bands of my youth have been. A lot of the songs have a very political message and I only ever noticed it years later. For example today I was listening to Rage Against The Machine today, in a nostalgic mood and stumbled over this line:
This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin' proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
This one is from „Bullet In The Head.“ Another line from „Just A Girl“ by No Doubt is this:
'Cause I'm just a girl, oh, little old me
Well, don't let me out of your sight
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
And I can still remember the lyrics of a lot of these songs.
What I actually want to say? That I am on a nostalgic trip.
When you find a bug in a very old piece of code, do you fix it (and possibly have to explain it to multiple people) or do you ignore it? 😜
I now have set up my own Matrix Server: @christian:kruse.cool 😃
That feeling after an intense legs workout, when even a few steps lead to burning legs ❤️
My good friend Jeena hosts a Matrix server on which he created an account for me. You can now reach me via https://matrix.to/#/@ckruse:jeena.net ✌️
TIL: Elixir's File.stream!/2
has an option :trim_bom
which removes the (optional) BOM from a file stream.
Vacation is over, but the first work day was surprisingly pleasant
