@thephd just simply rewrite it in markdown... [runs away]

One of the weird things about writing a book called Bea Wolf is you discover the "Be a wolf" hashtag which appears to be a lot of large shaven men posting photos of themselves to each other?

@ZachWeinersmith but no Wolf Bees?

i wish “type checking for infrastructure” was a thing

my code declares that there should be a S3 bucket that’s different from that other S3 bucket, etc. —> spin up the type checker, it reads APIs and verifies, “yep, this code should run fine”

@kellogh CDK but that would basically just be you writing code to check, not type checking.

I can't believe an Icelandic newspaper did this pun.

To explain it:

  • Probably in Icelandic is Líklega.
  • There's a common phrase that is used to mean "probably": "ef að líkum lætur" (in all probability can)

Also:
Lík means corpse.

An article about a morgue closing used that phrase as the title.
"Closes this summer in all probability"
"Closes this summer if all corpses can"

There should be a version of John Wick where, as in the Iliad, whenever someone is killed for any reason you get a story about where they came from, who their parents are, and how they'll never see their son again.

@ZachWeinersmith so Austin Powers when he drove over one of the henchmen with a steamroller and we get a scene where his wife gets the bad news, is referencing the Iliad?

Lot of people telling me we know the Earth is round because the people in space look at it all the time but how do we know it's not just a very cleverly made sprite? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(computer_graphics)

@ZachWeinersmith all particles look at you, so they're just really tiny sprites? maybe?

Sometimes I wonder if folks who have had mental issues since they were kids handle it differently than people who get them as adults.

@Patricia oh definitely, more of "wait, I thought that was normal"

MS-DOS is now open source, so in a time honored tradition. Lets look for curse words!

And there we go, actually not bad for a source codebase. Go read it.

Just do the right thing. Don't do the wrong thing. Why would you do wrong things? You should strive to do right things and anytime you feel the urge to do wrong things, stop and pivot towards doing right things.

This quality of insightful advice and more are featured in my upcoming book "Wrong things are bad, actually", preorder now.

Windows 95 walked so 98 could run so 2000 could sprint so Me could walk so XP could run so Vista could crawl so 7 could sprint so 8 could fall down so 8.1 could stand up so 10 could run so 11 could hide their shoes behind a "show more options" button.
