Why call it "segmentation fault" or "access violation" when you could call it "memory fuckup"?

6 dead. Didn’t even hear about this today amid all the chaos in Las Vegas. Too many mass shootings for newsgatherers to keep up with.

Democrat wins Louisiana Sheriff's race twice, judge says it has to be run a third time because this time 11 invalid ballots were found. The judge also won't let anyone examine the 11 ballots to see if they would have changed the outcome.

Also, it's interesting what happens when election officials admit that Sheriff is a partisan position and put it on the ballot as such.

IMO choosing tech besides React is a dramatically underrated advantage.

When you hire for, say, a Svelte or Vue dev, you're far, far more likely to get people who took learning into their own hands and went off the beaten path; people who know enough about the ecosystem to understand what React *doesn't* solve and why, instead of just people who took the most popular course on the most popular thing and don't have a clue what they don't know.

People who are *excited* about the stack.

There’s our baubles on the tree and #JingleJam in the background. Tree still looks a bit empty but we now have two cats so I’m hesitant to put the glass ones on for now.

One of my favorite things to see come across my screens each year: the US Fish and Wildlife Service has announced that Wisdom has returned to her mating grounds on Midway Atoll.

Wisdom is at least 71 years old, the oldest verified wild bird of any species. She has raised more than 30 chicks. She has flown the circumference of the Earth over 120 times. She is the closest the seabird world gets to a celebrity, and the only royalty I recognize. Long live the Queen.

Last night Nirav Patel joined @bcantrill and me to talk about @frameworkcomputer, his company that has reimagined the modern laptop as repairable, configurable, robust and awesome. I was excited and Nirav did not disappoint!

Beyond the quality of the product, Framework has built a high quality company with unparalleled transparency. Also we love our laptops!

Reading great writers always depresses me slightly. The effortlessness, the throw-away eloquence, the lightness of thought and observation.

My dyslexic, engineer brain will never be so sparkling, nevermind quick or clear. Like feeling yourself waddle to the fridge after watching olympic sprinters.
