I think the actual reasons for decline in SO questions, in order of impact, is: 1. GitHub issues 2. SO's maturity 3. Documentation becoming good 4. Blogging becoming really really good 5. Social web data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflo...

Happy New Year, everyone!

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I think it's nice how we humans take care of animals around us, who we've never met before. Makes me feel good about humanity.

I've noticed that every year, around this time, DevOps and Ops tools begin trending on GitHub and there are a lot of posts about them on my timeline. It's just a general observation, but I wonder if there is an index that tracks this, and if there might be historical data I could access.

#math I think with a rectangle and it's cuboid, the increase in dimension is harder to understand. In this picture, it's not apparent which of the sides of the rectangle is increasing in height. We must instead visualize ALL the sides increasing in height along a direction.

I feel like, with indie blogs on the rise again, there will be more of this in the future. Better paths forged by reading about what came before and trying to do better.

I feel like it has made the world a better place. One where we all know what dangers and opportunities lie ahead on the road, because people who walked it first described everything in detail.

One thing I would say is new and interesting in the 2020s is how open people are about their struggles.

#math Interestingly, even when a cylinder is closed off, such as this mug I drew with my fingers, there still remains one aperture. I think we can more clearly see and understand the concept of "circumference increasing in height" to form a cylinder.

I think the next iteration of light bulbs will be user programmable. And not through voice or code, necessarily. But through more reliable means.

#Math I guess But this means the circle itself is 2D, and it is only the circumference that increases in height.

I think it's very interesting that a cylinder has one aperture alone. I've always tried to think of height of the cylinder as the height of the hole itself.

I love watching Fintech Devcon talks, and here are my favorite ones:

Happy Dussera and Bijaya Dashami to all my friends here!

For people who want to see a screen reader in action, it can be helpful to start with this demo from Hadi Rangin of the University of Washington's IT Accessibility Team. Among the things Rangin discusses are ARIA landmarks, headings, and text content. youtu.be/7Rs3YpsnfoI

@saracodes.bsky.social hello!

I just want to say I love Firefox

@dddaswe.bsky.social You got me with your profile picture :-)

I think something very nice about bsky is the emerging diversity of people I see on my feeds. Lots more people into tech.

Watching a WWDC recap and I think it's just so interesting that several updates to iPadOS's UI and UX are ports from MacOS. It's very much a reversal of the trend of desktop OSs morphing into mobile OSs. As a desktop fan, I like it.

1. Meeting people and making friends. 2. Reading about tech. 3. Improving my understanding of the world.

I was a senior software & IT support analyst. I've got a long history in web development, as well. If any of you guys knows of any open positions, I'd greatly appreciate a referral. Feel free to DM.

Humans are nice.

If anyone is looking for a Full stack senior dev lmk I guess. I'm a buzzword soup but the jist is: C#, Azure, MS Sql, Vuejs

Niceeeee

@why.bsky.team Feature request: On first interaction or when asked, could Eva say she is a bot? Expected behavior: When prompted for "Are you human?" or similar, Eva should reply: "I am Eva, a bot." or similar. Thank you for reading.

@eva.bsky.world Hello Eva, Forgive me for asking, but are you human or an AI? Thank you!

Man I wish we still had ebay in India. Instead, there's nothing.

I'm in soft eng, not infosec, but I like to keep up with what I can. This video by @racheltobac.bsky.social is pretty good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OSH...

@firewallfox.bsky.social Good Luck on your first sysadmin day!!

By the way, this goes for work on “nudwm” (the DWM replacement me and @nighteden.bsky.social are developing) as well. My open source work is my only source of income; so if you like what I do I would really appreciate it if you could support my work!

I love my desktop computer. Especially the sounds it makes.

soatok.blog/2025/01/31/h... This is pretty good.

I've been seeing some posts circulating about helping trans people get jobs, so this is probably the time to mention that I am a trans woman who has been looking for a job for... two years. I would greatly appreciate the help. (I'm a programmer mostly focused on web dev and live in Chicago).

Polywork is shutting down. That's sad, I never used it, but it was a good concept.

Nothing feels better than fixing a test that wasn't working for a long time, writing the code for it, and seeing it turn green.

I see a lot of gloom and despair on my feed about how the world no longer seems to make sense, and I think we all need to understand and remember: It's always been this way. Good people win anyways.

What book do you think every engineer should read? I'd say Atomic Accidents -- a fun read and fundamentally about how/why things fail. If you want to build things which don't fail, you need to recognize how things do (and how often it's about people). www.simonandschuster.com/books/Atomic...
