Apache Software Foundation announced the opening of Travel Assistance Applications for next Community Over Code in Glasgow next October. tac.apache.org If you are planning to be around, please come and say hi on the @cassandra.apache.org track!

Giving @vivaldi.com a go, switching from Firefox. I like it! Being norwegian is a bonus! The inbuilt proton vpn was a very pleasant surprise, having a proton account already.

Bad Bunny's superbowl performance was pure brilliance. Last time I saw anything that good was Childish Gambino's This is America. But it was the opposite of dark and cynical, and live!

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery. I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

Aftersun (2022) is another movie rated 7+ in Scandinavia and R in USA. One of the best movies I've watched. watched with the family. So many things in america are now the opposite of common sense. Pilgrims might have gone there for religious freedoms, but the tables have certainly turned now.

This has everything: malleabile encryption, complex packets, memory safety, unsafe terminal UI, wontfix. Incredible. Plaintext exfiltration if you just click a link. I can’t be convinced gpg can be used safely.

"The Holdovers" is the perfect (quality) family xmas movie. it's also hilarious americans have rated it R while Sweden rates it 7 and Italy 6. (ps you can trust sweden and italy)

Friendly reminder NoSQL ≠ anti-SQL NoSQL (2009, Johan Oskarsson & Eric Evans) is about architecture & needs, not the query syntax It's about scale-out design, multiple writers, no single primary, & predictable growth as you add nodes New APIs don’t define NoSQL; the distributed system design does

The benevolent dictator model feels tempting for #OSS - faster, fewer debates. Then a PR argument with the single person in charge reminds me: Speed isn’t health. Community is.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Libraries have really gotten noisy …or i've gotten old.

Watched for the second time Stranger Things 4’ Episode 4 (‘Running Up That Hill’) Just as magical as the first time. Has to be one of the best on tv.

My input on Australia's social media ban for children. Particularly on the implementation of it. …

It's strange to think that patriarchal norms can affect the way we build software, but they do. I'm happy to share that the article my wife, Vanessa, and I wrote has been published in the @nljug.bsky.social Java magazine. It was our first time writing an article together, and it was...

Whenever someone shares a performance comparison of programming languages, many folks are surprised to see #Java rank up very high. I think by now it's kinda criminal how underrated Java and the JVM are in circles not familiar with it. This misconception is the biggest challenge for this platform.

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

Going on vacation for two weeks, and this week has felt like a manic friday "get all your shit done in a hurry" every single day on repeat 😳
