@n8 I mean, that's the important half of the whiteboard, but that just means your software has to be on half a whiteboard.

In the UK, and apparently the kids have a "play hill" made of concrete in their playground.

Ted's rule of architecture: If you can't explain it on one whiteboard it is too complex.

@benjancewicz I went to a wedding with my son when he was under two, freaked people out.

And I wasn't even really a single Dad, just my wife had to work that weekend. I can't imagine dealing with that constantly.

@n8 I agree, and have gone to the point of trying to give as much as possible anonymously to avoid the charity's recognition as well. Feels better.

Think what would happen if a yak was lost in Silicon Valley, there'd be fights over who gets to shave it. — https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49683441

Love that this community meeting about our city's parks includes childcare, makes it accessible to larger portion of the community. — http://www.cityofallen.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?aid=3239

Going through my old bookmarks and found this epic from 2012 "B*tches in Bookshops"

Seems they found "dark energy." (I'll walk myself out) — https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/12/science/solar-energy-power-electricity.html?emc=rss&partner=rss

Go Austin!

I love the tone-deaf response from conservatives: "if the city wants to help women they should lower taxes." Seems they don't quite understand how pregnancy works.

@brightneedle cool!

Shared it with my Makerspace. There's a sewing group trying to startup there. Thinking something like this would be a nice idea for them.

@victoria a block of wood with a particular grain for a woodworking project.

@liw that's how you know your users really love you, they don't want you to feel bad.

@federicomena I don't know of that document, but I think there's an interesting way to extend that analogy.

Each of those containers uses the libraries slightly differently, and thus creates a kind of biodiversity. So if a vulnerability exists, but only if you use a certain way, that could be a critical issue for one package but not the other. A distribution would have to assume worst case of how programs use it, but individual packages don't.

I've been speaking English for over 30 years and I just used "your" instead of "you're" in an email.

I write error messages like this sometimes, though with more spelling errors. — https://xkcd.com/2200/

@tek you'd think someone at Amazon would have claimed it.
