A little over 12 years ago, the police started building a case against me. That was stressful. They were watching. They wanted to take me off the streets. Here is the story of how I fled Cuba and came to the United States. ↓

I keep getting emails from NASA where they request I inform them about curl. They can land on Mars, sure, but I think they have some other issues left to sort out...

I think we’re at a point now where brand Twitter accounts need to include a disclaimer that their corporate opinions aren’t those of their employees.

Lots of speculation in this thread about tea, milk and what the ISO standard might actually say about it brewing tea. NOBODY seems to know for sure, since nobody seems to have a copy of the ISO 3103 standard. ISO says that their standards contain intellectual property, so:

Replying to @isostandards @mikko

For this reason, considering the value of standards, their economic and social importance, the costs of their development and maintenance, we and all ISO Members have the interest to protect the value of ISO Publications and National Adoptions, not making them publicly available.

This response doesn't seem very compassionate towards those who are (rightly) concerned about a non-free apt repository being force-pushed to their devices with no warning or opt-out. If it was vscodium, it would be a very different story.

Sorry: I can't understand why you think this was a controversial thing to do. We do things of this sort all the time without putting out a blog post about how to opt out.

✏️ Coding tip: whenever possible, avoid embedding types in variable and function names, specially in statically typed languages. ❌ It is redundant. ❌ It hurts readability. ❌ You must update the name if the type changes. Which statement reads better?

“Hey, Twitter says that you don’t need a Computer Science degree to center divs and change font colors.” If that’s your top aspiration, Twitter is absolutely right. But for those who’d like to work on more complex problems one day, education gives you an advantage.
