2023 Climate continues to break records in the worst of ways. Year will likely get worse. In case you were feeling cheerful today. (youtube.com/watch?v=65it0S… from Science without the gobbledygook)

I'm really liking where the Weaveworks adverts come up😁 This might be some next level marketing genius.

This one matters if you do anything with the web. Third party resources considered breach of privacy. Oooops.

This take on NFT is quite dystopian, but I’m not sure it’s wrong. The vision behind NFTs definitely isn’t for the purpose of building a fair and healthy society. Blockchains have many valid use cases. This one is plagued with fundamental issues that aren’t being addressed.

Set up Syncthing in Docker Build Cloud is here! 🐳🧱☁️ on @synology local NAS (with sync to Backblaze) to backup my Obsidian notes. Much less painful than I initially feared. We have come a long way in term of usability, although a non-techie would probably struggle. Let me know if you want a write-up.

Blast from the past: 7 year old workflow automation web app. Digging through the code is like web programming archaeology. Basically exactly like n8n.io. Glad someone executed on this idea properly even though I didn't manage to.

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

Just found Justine Tunney's work and I am blown away. Got take a look at justine.lol. Consider sponsoring at github.com/sponsors/jart

Thank you Signal and Moxie Marlinspike for this article: signal.org/blog/cellebrit… Haven't laughed quite so hard in some time, sorry I only just found it.

Very welcome news about Generics coming to Go in 1.18 beta. Like the constraints model adopted and can see myself using these immediately. Addition of a native fuzz testing lib is also a nice bonus. Go try it out: go.dev/blog/go1.18bet…

Massive shout out to Telepresenceio. Took minutes to set up, and turned a week of Kubernetes development and debugging into hours. 🙏

Sometimes, a conversation with an AI will go slightly sideways. This is what happened when I asked OpenAI's GTP3 model to predict what would result from cross breeding squirrels and ostriches. Maybe a sense of humour? #AI

A shout out to Sci-Hub as an amazing resource for independent researchers. Could not carry out my work without it. Thank you Alexandra Elbakyan #KeepScienceFree #SciHub

. Arcane is staggeringly good. Everyone involved should be extremely proud. Unreservedly recommended. 👍

That's what the workflow looks like to scrape .xlsx data form the Office for National Statistics (ONS) website, process it, plot it with QuickChart and tweet it. Highly recommend taking a look at n8n.io
