And once again I'm finding myself in a design review repeatedly saying "let's not do that" in different ways at different places :-) Really, YAGNI and KISS are the most important principles I have learned over my career.

Saw ‘How to Blow-up a Pipeline’ tonight.

I have thoughts 🤔

Firstly, I hope the book lives up to that (but differently, obviously) as I started reading that last night.

...I knew it looked familiar.. But the album "Noise Diary" from Rabia Sorda is from 2009, so... :blobthinking:

Attachments:

• Screenshot from Spotify showing "Heart Eating Crows" from Rabia Sorda playing. The album artwork is shown large. Next to it a preview of Metallica's "Hardwired... To Self-Destruct". Both album covers share similarities of a body with one head with multiple faces in different directions. The main face in both has a very similar expression. (remote)

Not sure I like the return expression in a rust function not needing a semicolon terminator.

I mean, I'm an F# fan so ideally I'd like *no* semicolon expression terminators, but this mix of "use ; unless it's the return expressoin" feels awkward?

Anyone have opinions on the best large e-ink tablet for primarily reading?

Is there a reason not to get the easiest thing, a Kindle Scribe, other than "Amazon are bad" ?

I can trust Amazon to keep supporting it for a long time, my 7+ year old Kindle still gets occasional updates after all

Actually tried to paint last night only to find out my airbrush is clogged. Took it completely apart, cleaned off all the dried paint I could get to, lost a tiny rubber washer that goes round the tip, and it's still bloody broken!

At least this was the cheap one I got with the compressor! Maybe it's time to start using the fancy Badger one I've owned for literal years but been too scared to use (until now???)
