I have recovered the original video from my "Corporate Open Source Anti-patterns: Doing it wrong" talk from FISL in 2012! I will be giving an update of this talk (with many new anti-patterns!) at P99 CONF on October 19th -- it's online and free!

CSS Nesting!

About that requirement for a `&` or other symbol... it’s no more. Learn all about it.

AND help us make one final decision about the syntax, by reading example options, and taking a one question survey.

TIL cargo supports custom profiles, in addition to the four standard built-in ones (dev, release, test, bench).

You can use a custom profile by using `--profile` with a command such as `cargo build`.

“Swiss glaciers have lost 10% of their volume in just two years, a report has found.

Scientists have said climate breakdown caused by the burning of fossil fuels is the cause of unusually hot summers and winters with very low snow volume, which have caused the accelerating melts. The volume lost during the hot summers of 2022 and 2023 is the same as that lost between 1960 and 1990.”

some really bad laws were passed in reaction to the 9/11 attack:

"Section 702 allows the government to collect — from U.S. firms like Google and without a warrant — the communications of targeted foreigners. That authority, which grew out of the Bush administration’s post-Sept. 11 warrantless surveillance program, will expire at the end of December unless lawmakers extend the law.

Congress previously reauthorized the law in 2012 and 2018. But it faces an uncertain fate this cycle. A faction of hard-right Republicans are opposing it in alignment with former President Donald J. Trump’s hostility to the “deep state,” joining forces with liberal-leaning civil liberties advocates who have long had concerns about how Section 702 allows the government to scoop up some communications of Americans without a warrant and make it available to intelligence and law-enforcement officials."

There's a whole industry which is working with the web platform. Oddly, only few care about #HTML

It's trivialized into the void.

Some even deny it is a programming language you can (should?) learn.

That's why I created the HHTML meetup in #Hamburg

Happening tomorrow. 💜

oh, ouch: "Mr. Kise said in court that the ruling could oust the sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, from their New York homes, which he said are owned through the types of limited liability companies that Justice Engoron dissolved. Mr. Kise also asked whether the ruling meant that Mr. Trump would have to sell assets including Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street, a downtown commercial property, or whether they could be managed by an independent receiver who the judge said would oversee the dissolution of the canceled companies.

Justice Engoron did not provide a clear response. "

The more I learn about Luddites, the harder it is for me to hold my tongue when I encounter people using the term in the modern sense. 😆
