  • What are some of the stupidest trends/fads that have existed?

  • Beanie babies

  • Johnson: We're Not A Democracy, We're A "Biblical" Republic And Separation Of Church And State Isn't Real

  • They don't care.

  • U.S. government hits Bankman-Fried and attorneys with 4 million pages of discovery. His lawyers argue that the government is overwhelming their client, without allowing him to prepare for court.

  • Guess SBF should have spent his time not intimidating/tampering witnesses, if he needed the Internet for his defense preparation

  • What's your favorite CICD tool?

  • I've been using ConcourseCI because another team manages it and it is integrates with Hashicorp vault.

    It's good. The big advantage is I don't have to deal with maintaining it.

    The downside is their story on GitHub integration is kind of crummy, you have to create your own web hooks because our ConcourseCI instance is too busy for poll based resource checks.

  • What is the best file format for configuration file?

  • I think it's YAML.

    I'm not happy that it's YAML but it's become ubiquitous. Sure, there are lots of other formats that others have mentioned, but I'm sorry most of them are positioned as "it's better than YAML!" and the fact that everyone is mentioning YAML, even if it's about the things it does wrong (and boy does it do things wrong) still means that YAML is on everyone's mind.

  • Vivek Ramaswamy Also Wants to Give Putin Whatever He Wants in Ukraine

  • On the foreign policy front, he's just not following US imperialist policy so the US media is hitting him with this piece to prevent the Overton window from shifting.

    Like, he's not a good candidate and it's heartbreaking when the worst person you know makes a couple of good points that make the neoliberal imperialists go nuts, but here we are

  • How much does naming consistency matter?

  • It's very important, so that everyone knows that they are talking about the same thing.

    Like, everyone needs to just agree to use the same term, while also not getting into bike shedding around which term to choose.

  • “Block” feature to be removed from X

  • It's a shame because for better or worse, it was a feature developed due to the worst behavior online. Like, people got treated really badly, enough that Twitter made it in the first place, and Musk is like "nah, no institutional memory, no reason to have it"

  • How the Minsk agreements died on arrival

  • This comment doesn't make any sense. Can you elaborate

  • How the Minsk agreements died on arrival

    1. Restoring Ukraine's territorial integrity and Russia reaffirming it according the U.N. Charter, which Zelenskiy said is "not up to negotiations".

    So basically this is not a serious peace proposal.

  • How the Minsk agreements died on arrival

  • I've been having a solid time watching Inuyasha of all the shows ...

  • It's good and makes me remember watching it on Toonami in like 2003

  • AOC Is Lobbying for Looser US Sunscreen Regulations

  • Philanthropy exists to launder the reputations of the rich

  • Chuds frothing at the mouth: "Noooo, this is Communism. Communism!!!!111"

  • real estate investors and land speculators are reaching out to Maui wildfire victims to buy their land for cheap.

  • Shock doctrine here we goooooo

  • This was the world's first baby monitor. Guess the year.

  • 1958

  • Trying to get release and testing in sync

  • Your QA team should be building automated regression tests and automating their tests so that they can be run locally as part of the development cycle or as a job in your CI system.

    That would decouple this incredibly tight release cycle that you currently have

  • How do you get your team to write tests?

  • "How do you know the code you wrote works correctly if there is no test that exercises it?"
