Unexpected result for old Corbs

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

Probably how the software industry will AI itself to death

I have a hunch that if you or I were running a website doing this the "urgent contact" would involve door rams and handcuffs so I struggle to see why it can't be slightly more pugnacious than this.

We’re having a Cambrian Explosion of code. People are able to create so much more than ever before I’ve done it myself and see it with the open source I maintain But I think the software industry is going to suffer

LOL @mrjamesob.bsky.social coming back on Monday

Amazing record for the FIFA

instagram.com/epistemiccrisis has some great analysis of this

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Have been slowly porting a project of mine from F# to #golang over the past few months, and I finally had some time to finish it this week and turn it on; it's using 20% of the RAM so I can run it on a smaller host now. The pit of success is real.

I've run out of tokens and have to wait an hour for my limits to reset. Jonesing. Why is everything so slow?

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

happy birthday to horses

I am less serious about getting rich and more serious about destroying capitalism

A thread 🧵 of _terrible_ design decisions for the internal APIs of the two Italian high speed train operators, Italo and Trenitalia. Hardcoded passwords, terrible translations, spelling mistakes, xml in json (but utf8 encoded and transmitted as an array of numbers), it's all here. Enjoy!

OK, this legitimately blew my mind. I'm not too sure what I think it about yet, but it certainly aligns with my experience, and with the advent of AI coding tools it could possibly be the new paradigm.

Is craftsmanship dead? Are we in a post clean code world at this point

Honestly im shocked Well Not that shocked

Animal rights activist 😄 Far right activist 😫

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Met some friends at the pub at 5, they called last orders at 5:15 😡

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

I know a fellow American working for a European civil service (American ally) who got detained and questioned for over six hours flying back to the states for the holiday because “why don’t you live and work in the USA” idk I don’t have a conclusion, this shit is just wild

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Walmart sells something that claims to be a 'banana cleaner'. The description is a weird work of genius, including boasting '120 minutes on a single charge, which meets daily use' and explaining 'just wipe it with a towel'.

My mate's Dad used to go on holiday to Dubai (on his own) and sit in the hotel bar (because it's too hot) and watch the live security cam fedd outside his house. If he noticed anything amiss he would phone his wife, who refused to go on holiday with him.

I'm not allowed to eat unsupervised

ProTEct truSTed LocAL nEWS This isn't even designed to wind people up and hope they share it. It's just an exploitation of Birmingham Live's privileged position on Google Discover/Apple News. The whole point is to deceive people into clicking. An industry built on total contempt for its audience.

Berry Bars

GitHub Actions charging per build minute for *self-hosted-runners*? Shit's about to hit the fan lol

Hurrah! A GOOD THING

What do we have for day 1️⃣2️⃣ of the The EightyPercentMental advent calendar? ❄️🌲⛄🎁🧑🏿‍🎄 LIKES, SHARES, & ADVERTISING REVENUE. "Burnout isn't real! We're not candles! People can't burn out!" Marv, and what are you basing this analysis on? "Absolutely nothing at all, but that's not important, my dudes."

Throwback to when Roses were worth buying

You absolutely couldn’t write it better. Amazing.

Nice to get a police escort home

I'm a fan of AI in programming; it can get you 80% of the way there, but often you reach a doom loop where you cannot prompt any further and have to take control. If you haven't got someone to do that, you just have to accept what you've got.

This is not a pun, it doesn't make any sense 😡

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

The spirit of Christmas pissed

"I love my constituency of North Bramblewick, where honest people get up and work hard", is all you need to say to succeed in politics

Not their actual heads though

"Have they tried not being mentally ill?", asks Wes
