Dependency rejection is better than dependency injection.

WHY WAS IT CALLED SINGLE-SIGN ON WHEN SIGN-ON 37 TIMES PER DAY WAS RIGHT THERE

Reminder that #Vim and #Neovim have the special `=` register that gives you the result of an expression.

Most basic example would be a calculation. For example, I'm configuring the cache_size in the config file for davfs2. It takes a value in MiB. I'd like to set it to 50 GiB, so I can simply, in insert mode, hit Ctrl-R and then type

=50*1024

and hit return, and Vim will insert 51200.

See `:h @=` and `:h i_CTRL-R` for details.

In 2022, I left Google in search of a sustainable approach to open source maintenance. A year later, I was a full-time independent professional open source maintainer.

Today I’m announcing the natural progression of that experiment: Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio of critical Go projects.

Nicola Murino, the maintainer of x/crypto/ssh, and @dominik, the maintainer of Staticcheck and Gotraceui, are Geomys’ first Associate Maintainers ✨

if you are human, answer me this

@filippo has a new thing https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/geomys/

Geomys is a new OSS company to look after some foundational OSS projects, today those are all in Go.

I'm really pleased to see this launch, not purely because I get to let go of bluemonday and know that it's now in the hands of some great custodians, but because all of the projects in are important in different ways, and the whole software community does a bad job at keeping focus on ensuring these are in safe hands and being maintained.

The most profound misunderstanding about workplace and online arguments is this: if you have a problem that can be settled with dispassionate logic, *you don't end up in an argument in the first place*. You end up in a brainstorming meeting.

Conflict is inherently social. It's a spectator sport. Peacocks showing off their plumage, if you will.

You don't win with facts and logic. You prevail by picking battles wisely, making concessions where possible, and helping both sides save face. If you can't do that, better carry a big stick.

two of the best feelings when programming are:
1. figuring out a really clever way to solve a problem
2. figuring out a really stupid way to solve a problem

Better not be up there breaking my internet, my guy.

There’s #demoscene, and then there’s this abomination of nature and genius

Somebody must have bet him that he couldn’t make a demo without the computer itself

📺 We've been overwhelmed by the positive responses to our announcements from the #GrafanaCON 2024 keynote.

You can even put your KeepassXC database on cloud storage to get the benefits of cloud sync without the vendor lock-in.

Many years ago, I wanted a 3D game engine for mobile platforms, a cross-platform alternative to SceneKit.

It took a decade, but it is finally coming:
