@fullstackcircus promised to reveal his true identity at 10k updoots. I'm waiting

I know it's pedantry but I flinch whenever I read "please RSVP"

I got a baby (<1yr) tortoise and i named him JSON.

Ok... @tosensei you win. I'm gonna start using a knife for all round, orange, citrus fruits. (It's a tangelo)

My tip for staying productive: **Don't**

Take a break. Take a few. Have a nap. Take a stroll outside. Enjoy life.

Life's too short. If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

Fuck productivity.

in your opinion, what is the most important feature of a programming language? For me it’s getting paid for using it.

People from first-world countries, what are your biggest problems?

ZOOM IN ON TERMINALS + STAGE MANAGER = LITTLE SIDEBAR PREVIEW OF TERMINAL PROGRESS

There once was a sysadmin, Eddie,
Who could strip, touch and finger real steady.
But when it came to the mount,
(From his sweetheart's account),
It was always "Device is not ready".

do anyone have any more such poems/limericks?

That was phenomenal!

Every now and then you need a kick to your nutsack and vagsack to realize how replaceable you are and be humbled.

For that I am opening a gym where we train for this event by kicking your ball sack.

Abs of the day: COBOL

Nachos vs hotdogs-which is the bigger choking hazard?

There’s something I gotta tell ya.
I posted this a while ago. This Friday, they removed a tumor from my lower lip. I never had tumors before, let alone on my face.
I’ll know if it was malignant or not next Friday.

I’m doing abs of the day!
Abs of the day — Erlang

That, my friends, is a Dell Poweredge r610, with 2x e5670 and 48GB of registered ECC memory, mounted underneath my desk at work, using mounts I 3D printed at home.

Roughly £140 all in, and I now have a nice little development server, AND leg heater!

He did not 😢

I can crush a watermelon with my thighs. How do you think your neck would fare? And where do you think AoK went?

So I've been working on collaborative localization, which means robots in a team help each other improve their pose estimation!
We submitted a paper to a robotics conference (fingers crossed), and you can find a video from the demo here:

No, that "save as" dialog you made yourself is not better than the one built in to the OS.

When teammates mostly work a lot of overtime and doing it becomes an expectation, time to run

Syntax Stevia

Like syntax sugar, but it doesn’t harm you project in the long run

I carry a mac M2.

My brother has a similar bag to mine.

He put his bag in place where I used to put mine.

I went and opened bag.

There was NO Mac M2.

My heart nearly skipped a beat.

I wish they had acceptance criteria for CVs - don't want to write mine again 🫠

Testing rants with images.

Should be fixed now.

So @ostream disappears shortly after @retoor agreed to meet up with him...

When I go to bed, I power off my laptop instead of just closing the lid. I don't bring my phone with me. I don't have a smartwatch. I sleep with no electronic devices with me.

Anyone can solve a lot of their problems by conversing with themselves one on one. Instead, they prefer a feed algorithm taking away their pain. But the nature of pain-relieving addictions is that they always intensify the pain in the long run.

Listen to yourself. Speak to yourself quietly, one on one, without mark zuckerberg in your room listening to your every word. The overwhelming pain will be no more after mere minutes. Only then can you be free.

Every time I see this my heart starts beating like crazy, I'm filled with joy and hope and I feel like living my life right. Like in the Christmas morning.

Usually, this feeling lasts until I click on the notification. After clicking on it all these feelings are usually replaced with despair, frustration and sometimes even anger.

Today my cat, my oldest girlfriend, passed away. She chose to be in the sun for her passing. I'm happy she had a good life in the end with all the space she needed. She did not suffer. It was sudden and just a cardiac arrest.

May she hunt many more mice and little birds in the afterlife.

Update: hair is done
