Se tivesse uma lojinha online aqui no BR que vendesse kits para montar teclados mecânicos mais ergonômicos, juntamente com um guia e links de como montar (ou seja, peças e conhecimento, só aplicar) você teria interesse em adquirir?
RT da amizade please 🙇♂️

Vorremmo provare a far capire ai più giovani perché da ieri sera i social sono invasi da post dedicati a Oscar Schmidt. Scegliamo tre aneddoti per farlo:
- Oscar non ha mai giocato in NBA perché rifiutò il contratto proposto dai Nets. Nel 1984 gli stranieri in NBA praticamente non esistevano. Oltretutto vigeva una regola per cui ai giocatori NBA era vietato giocare per la propria Nazionale. Oscar non andó mai in NBA perché non avrebbe mai rinunciato al Brasile
- È anche grazie a Oscar se nel 1989 venne eliminato questo divieto. Nel 1987 ai giochi panamericani, il Brasile sconfisse in finale gli USA (senza giocatori NBA) e Oscar segnó 46 punti. Per gli USA quella sconfitta fu una “vergogna” (vincevano sempre loro) e nel giro di poco tempo iniziarono a convocare i giocatori NBA in Nazionale arrivando poi a formare il Dream Team nel 1992
- questa è la classifica del record di punti segnati da un giocatore alle Olimpiadi: 55 punti Oscar, 48 Doncic, 46 Palubinskas, 46 Oscar, 46 Oscar, 45 Oscar, 44 Oscar, 44 Oscar, 44 Oscar.
E il record di punti segnati ad un Mondiale? Facile, Oscar 52 punti.
Ieri sera ci ha lasciato la più impressionante macchina da canestri della storia.

Who would've thought @playdate needed a @todoist client? @MichaelMofina did, and it's BRILLIANT.
Crank to complete is *peak* UX.

Finally, Python 3.14 lets you disable GIL!
It's a big deal because earlier, even if you wrote multi-threaded code, Python could only run one thread at a time, giving no performance benefit.
But now, Python can run your multi-threaded code in parallel.
And uv fully supports it!

That makes a lot of sense, and why vibe coding projects from scratch is so good, you can just recreate it if it's not good enough.

I am convinced we are doing AI coding wrong. Completely wrong in fact.
Humans need abstraction and code reuse to reduce costs and manage complexity.
That is not true for AIs however. They can just brute force things. No reuse and abstractions needed.
So instead of trying to coerce AIs to "structure" their code for our own benefit, we should just let them do the thing they do best, generate whatever code they want. As long as it works, we should be happy.
It is a bit like organizing your email in folders vs using search.
Embrace the chaos!

Thanks, Greg KH. That's the kind of leadership I was expecting to see.

I am reading about Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT). And I came across these fantastic implementations by Evan Wallace!
It's interesting to see how real-world collaborative applications work with the help of these data structures and algorithms!

I did entire presentations on a topic and I watch it today as if it was another person speaking 😂

The most annoying thing about software engineering
Is how you spend 2 weeks learning intensely about some topic (e.g. how to do graceful shutdown properly),
And 6 months later you completely forget everything 😡

Hard to generalize, but I tend to agree on most of these nowadays.

No one wants to admit this, but:
- Serverless is technical debt
- Scrum is process debt
- Daily standups are communication debt
- RTO mandates are engagement debt
As with any kind of debt. These things can get you a lift on the short term, but you'll need to pay them back on the long run.

Best way to discuss a code change: create a PR that goes in the direction you need it to go. It doesn't really matter if it's wrong, it just needs to go in the right direction and mention the people involved.
They will be right in context for the discussion and bring ideas.

There was a cleanup we were discussing in issues for years, but nobody had the time. I created a PR removing the whole directory and asking people to review.
People in charge said it was not really the right thing to do, and we started discussing what it would be 😉.

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.
A thread about my favorite story from running OMCB....
I made a website. it's called "one million checkboxes dot com". it has one million checkboxes on it.
checking a box checks it for everyone.
that's it. have fun!
