I’m happy for the result but that margin though 😬

In my 20 years as a programmer I've never heard anyone use the "cyber" prefix unironically. Meanwhile, internal mailing lists look like this... 😄

With the recent update, the project became using S3 storage to storing js source map files. A Redis-based solution was left for Extranet's assets built with Grunt, so no action required from the extranet side to keep things working. The change should bring support for new pages made on Vue.

MOKUM ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

In this talk, we'll walk through how our app's JavaScript and TypeScript based architecture with Node, React, Webpack, GraphQL, Apollo and Jest are helping us achieve a high-velocity, tested and adaptable server-side isomorphic rendered product that fits the Experience's track goals of fast exploration and iterations.

I think it's worth starting by taking stock of big stuff in /tmp on our servers with salt, figuring out UID/GIDs who own that stuff, and seeing if e.g. we can just puppetize nginx and similar programs everywhere to aggressively bump these buffers. It's not like we run a lot of webserver, and I have a hunch that there's maybe 5-10 programs that are causing >95% of the problems.

An evil vizier named Jaffar wants to become sultan by marrying the princess, so he has her suitor captured and thrown in a dungeon. This is a completely original idea that literally no one else could come up with.

I think about this headline a lot.

Article published on the New Statesman in 2015:
Being right about the Iraq war has made the left insufferable

Iraq gave a whole section of the British left a sense of burning, brilliant superiority. But that isn’t a good enough foundation for a political life.

The situation in Europe is especially stupid, because various industries are in *desperate* need of labor but everyone is too fucking racist to admit that they need to hire foreigners.

Copenhagen hospital beds left unused due to nurse shortage

Up to one in ten hospital beds in the Greater Copenhagen region are currently unable to be used due to a shortage of nurses.

Foreign nurses forced to leave Denmark amid labour shortage

A lack of capacity in the authorisation system is causing Denmark to retract work permits for foreign nurses amid a shortage of labour in the sector, according to a media report.

Danish minister says foreign recruitment can help reduce shortage of IT workers

Businesses in Denmark say they are finding it increasingly difficult to find a sufficient number of skilled IT labour. The country’s Minister for Higher Education said the more skilled IT workers must be trained as well as recruited from abroad.

Danish employment minister against easing immigration rules for labour

Denmark’s employment minister, Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen, is not in favour of easing immigration rules to make it easier for companies to recruit foreign labour despite calls from elsewhere in the government to do so.

Really baffled when I see the reply counter silently going up. Like, why do people bother to reply at all if they're gonna immediately block me afterwards? I won't get to read it, no one else will get to read it, they're literally typing into the void!

Tangentially related, but I recently rewatched Disney's Lady and the Tramp and I was surprised by this throwaway gag during the zoo scene. As recently as 1955, evolution was such an uncontroversial topic that Disney felt comfortable making an explicit reference to it.

Maybe you saw this video by @theserfstv.bsky.social? He starts with a (genuinely funny) bit where he pretends to be shaun for a couple of minutes.

Thumbnail of a YouTube video titled "Left Wing vs Right Wing Violence." The video uses shaun's signature skull-sitting-at-the-computer thumbnail picture.

Well, Twitter got blocked for a couple of months. I think that was the deciding factor, more than whatever tantrums Musk was throwing at the time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockin...

From 30 August 2024 to 8 October 2024, Brazil's Supreme Federal Court judge Alexandre de Moraes imposed a block of X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil. This occurred after the social network's chairman, Elon Musk, refused to appoint a legal representative in the country, which led Moraes to freeze Starlink's financial assets and impose fines for non-compliance. X began to be suspended at the start of the following day.
