Κατι με ενόχλουσε πάντα στο κλασσικό "στ' αρχ1δ14" μου, οπότε εκεί στα αθώα 15 οταν το άκουγα απαντούσα πάντα με το Διονυσιακό "και μένα στην αρχιδοκωλοκοτρωνοχατζηκαρακαταπουτσακλάρα μου". Έιναι πάρα πολύ situational σαν βρισία, αδύνατη στο να χρησιμοποιείται γενικώς, αλλα μου αρέσει 😀 #μπινελίκι

Cross posting this 14 book bundle from @aptshadow.bsky.social #booksky 💙📚 www.humblebundle.com/books/adrian...

They're really having fun with it on tiktok.

Being given the change to rewrite legacy smelly code (which I wrote 8 years ago) to the newest / latest standards with no (strict) time pressure is SUCH a dopamine hit 💪🤩

Poignant and precise. Longform comics by @theoatmeal.bsky.social are always amazing but this one really hit the spot for me. Styrofoam indeed!!! theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

Tchaikovsky’s work is a guilt-free instabuy-and-don’t-even-think-about-it thing for me.

There's an unhealthy silence in the EU on the role that Greek ship owners played in helping Putin build his shadow fleet and the flood of transshipments going to Russia from all across the EU. I'm deeply grateful to @marcbrost.bsky.social at Germany's FOCUS Magazin for letting me write about this...

My cartoons for this week’s @theguardian.com books #holiday #vacation #reading

Οι απάτες με δόλωμα ένα επώνυμο και ευρέως αναγνωρίσιμο πρόσωπο, δεν είναι καινούριες. Έχουν κάνει την εμφάνιση τους και στη χώρα μας, εδώ και χρόνια. Αυτή τη φορά χτύπησαν την πόρτα του @telloglou2024.bsky.social κ του #insidestory_gr Της @etriantafillou.bsky.social insidestory.gr/article/o-ta...

In Sudan, the post-American world has already arrived, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social reports. A brutal civil war has left a vacuum—and no international organizations, no diplomats, and certainly no Americans are coming to fill it.

Αφιερωμένο στο Ελληνικό Μπαμιο-Bluesky-Verse: τοπική ποικιλία Πάρου, 10 πόντους αηδία… (Obligatory cc @jimandrakakis.net για προώθηση στους λοιπούς ιδιαίτερους ανθρώπους που έχουν την ικανότητα να το τρώνε αυτό)

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

As a philosophy major who adored symbolic logic courses, this may be my favorite cartoon ever.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Cypriot politician and social media personality, Fidias Panayiotou. He’s best known for his clickbait YouTube stunts and for voting against aid to Ukraine and the return of abducted Ukrainian children from Russia. 1/20

As someone whose surname is "Χάϊδας", I wish every person working with the web would read these slides by @stephaniewalter.bsky.social stephaniewalter.design/blog/hello-m...

Oh yes. As a 2nd year uni student (back in 1997) I did go “whooa!” when my “Professor of Computer Based Training” uttered the phrase about Java applets 😊

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LoTR) (Yes, seriously. Yes I know it's Waterworld. Yes I do like it that much. Yes, I am serious I'm not taking the piss, honestly... No I cannot explain it leave me alone).

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books

This is performative nonsense of “hardcore” tech nincompoops. They could put people in nearby hotels or Airbnbs for a lot less. It’s all cosplaying intense workaholism for the cheap seats and all for PR. Sleeping bags at work is simply dumb www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

I stand with Ukraine Proud to live in a country (the Netherlands) that unconditionally supports Ukraine. Europe needs to re-arm, to support Ukraine and defend itself and democracy. Ukraine is the one defending Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine should be part of the EU. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Some hard truths in there...

I see your "here's how I code from a plane" posts and I raise you two (Greek) colleagues discussing 4G vs satelitte net access when commuting to a (Greek) island for the weekend: Stable SSH connection to the cloud VM - for the duration of the trip - is the litmus test here 😁

Left-handed keyboard-warrior gamer friends: What's your alternative to WASD? ⌨️ I've been rocking 1832 (left-up-right-down) on the numpad for a long time (with 4,5,6 as aux helpers, 7 prev, 9 next, 0 jump) but I'm learning that some people rock with PL;' or even HJKL (!) Share your setup!

Ok I did _not_ know the 2-finger select thing. 😳

Me on the right.

Psychiatrist: "So Angelos, there are only a few weeks left in Q4 and your backlog has some (quite impressive frankly in scope) admin tasks. How will you structure your time to achieve those? What tricks did we learn?" Me: "WHOOHOO TIME TO LEARN GO!" Psychiatrist: (heavy sigh)

Pro tip for tech teams: Create a #yelling channel on your Slack / Teams/ Whatever space. Rules: - Anything you post must be in CAPITALS - Answers (in lowercase) allowed only in-thread It's amazingly therapeutic.

An article whose title combines the words "Bemoan" and "Taramasalata". I'm _thoroughly_ impressed: www.theguardian.com/business/202...
