Good Bite!

At first I was disappointed with her. Now I’m just appalled.

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

He's feeling better lately, thanks for asking.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Amazing story

Do you work 100% remotely, 100% on-site, or in a hybrid model? If hybrid, approximately what percentage is remote? Can you help by replying and reposting so I can get more responses?

This is Sirius. He wanted to show off all of his best unconventional tricks. 14/10 what an absolute pro

I have once again been nerd-sniped by @lpil.uk into writing a Gleam package. This time, it's a lightweight, high-perf client for Redis-compatible databases, called Valkyrie! The library includes a connection pool, and has been tested against Redis, Valkey, KeyDB and Dragonfly.

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I have a client whose engineering, product and company cultures are all based on red flags.

Oh yes

Don’t teach your dog to turn around

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

Think about the money, systems used, pre-planning and care that went into sniffing you out ahead of time and holding you. That was my tax dollars spent on the exact opposite of how I think my country should be representing itself to foreigners and to journalists. My apologies.

My "Introduction to Functional Programming" course will be fully remote. Classes are expected to begin in early August. Mondays, 15h50-18h40 (UTC-3). Interested in joining? Please fill out the form to express your interest. You will be notified when enrollment opens. bit.ly/IFP_2025

Let’s hear from people that use Gleam in production! @markholmes.bsky.social of Williams & Holmes, LLC: “What’s so great about Gleam isn’t how fast and simple it is to build things –although that is true– but how easy it is to come back later and refactor!”

Goodbye, Dr. Carson Beckett.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Elixir 1.19 is a banger! Honestly I'm so pleased with the direction that #ElixirLang is going. My programs just get faster and more correct every time. I just know that we're in good hands. Thank you to everyone on the team for your hard work! github.com/elixir-lang/...

Empecé el documental este de Ruby Franke y hay muchas cosas que me resultan desagradablemente familiares.

I bought some @gleam.run merch and @lpil.uk himself sent me a personalised thanking video. Best DX e2e 😄

v0.3.0 of Lua has been released with support for guards in deflua functions. We also add guards for checking encoded values in function arguments such as `is_table` and `is_userdata` hexdocs.pm/lua/Lua.API.... #ElixirLang

Neither World War One nor World War Two started or ended at the White house.

My God, it's full of trans!

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10

Now THIS is what a customer-centric app is. Most banks keep sending out warning emails about impersonation and scams. Any app can implement this capability with a little coding + backend work (assuming their BE sensible enough): and yet Monzo is the first one I’ve heard do it.

I keep reading lpil and gleam.

Today is 13 years since my father's death. For those of you that didn't know me back then, those who do gave he and me a gift for which I'll be forever grateful: * steveklabnik.com/writing/birt... * steveklabnik.com/writing/card...
