Reviewing a scientific paper manuscript, was beyond disgusted that in the description of their experimental method, the authors had used affiliate links for all their lab instruments. I rejected it on principle: don't be a tacky twat.
@fesshole So glad I burned-out from academia.
While I don't know at this point what exactly caused the extended downtime for Microsoft systems and the nationwide ground stop of air traffic, they're good reminders that in many domains it's better to build systems that are reliable and maintainable that to build systems quickly without redundancy and alternatives. Shiny technology and methods that promise the latter often don't provide the former.

@JMarkOckerbloom one of those obvious things that isn't as obvious as you would like.

It is a bit like a miracle that Digital Independence Day #didayv kicks off in Italy today. @filippodb and his friends @fedimedia have done great work to put together this track @sfscon. Let's grow this movement further!
I've not had any analytics on this website for about ten years. 8,000 pageviews already and... well, would you believe it

Man I don't get people that set their default font size to 20px on tablets to still be able to read stuff when the eyes are getting bad.

I give up.

@jeffjarvis Do you think that “journalist” is proud of that piece? Nosferatu’s shitty fashion sense?
Kill the power of nostalgia by being nostalgic now for this present moment.
@futurebird
It is such a Moment!
My epitaph shall read
It seemed like Now at the time!

@futurebird Headphone techno time! Make everyone jealous that we don't do parties in public anymore, because we could fix that!
I just saw a bunch of 90s nostalgia bait and all it makes me think is "I'm so glad the past is gone. It's so much better now."
@forteller Jeg synes "SPACE CHRISTMAS" høres litt flott ut.
Ask for it
Anyone with a fediverse account can now suggest and vote on features for any software listed on FediDB, and the people who build it can answer. Plus new software pages and Loops sign-in.
@blog You love to see it! Enjoy ❤️
trouble with both the Microsoft and FAA fuckups is that both are fully explicable by normal idiot management decision making around IT
so before we can state in an article/episode that either was caused more or less directly by the AI, and not standard pre-AI incompetence, we need more direct evidence
it's most frustrating
@davidgerard @MisuseCase they are one and the same.
The choice to use untested and generally unrestricted AI is reflective of human decision making.
...and the http wrapping is now in a separate crate, demonstrating that it can be implemented that way!
Whee!
And with dropping the channel stuff, iocaine-powder no longer depends on tokio either!
Currently nothing depends on tokio. Hehehe.
