@byllgrim@mastodon.xyz @thj@mastodon.cloud Probably put too much American on that comment. The deregulation favored by our conservatives is in direct conflict with the regulation and oversight required by environmental concerns. Maybe a result of nothing getting done is more true than a feedback loop.

@thj@mastodon.cloud That feedback loop would probably explode.

At my second job out of college, I had the perfect work setup that no other job has ever met. My development machine was a *NIX workstation, and the lab benches were set up by the systems group on a separate bench with it's own *NIX workstation.

The job wasn't the most interesting, but I've come full circle in that regard. Now stuck in a shitty Windows PC/Windows Network/Microsoft tools environment.

I wonder if anyone has really validated the "many eyes" concept in open source with respect to the number of eyes and number of open source projects. I'm not questioning the efficacy of code review, but just looking at numbers.

In order for code review to be effective, the set of reviewers must cover all the aspects that the code affects. That ranges from coding language to solution subject matter. It must also cover platform concerns like operating system and hardware.

Don't send me to space unless you can ensure protection against space brain.

The tinysubversions bot had a server issue and lost all the RSS feeds. I'm trying to decide if I should set them up again, fork the code and point to my own servers, or just use an RSS reader instead of Mastodon.

@fribbledom Too much Microsoft for me. #github #microsoftAnticompetitiveMonopolist

You have to remember that all the calls for personal responsibility with respect to climate change are too little. This doesn't mean stop, but it does mean that the effort is better spent in action that results in big governmental change.

Did a search for 'dead net'. Big mistake. Fucking Grateful Dead all over my screen.

All RSS feeds seem dead today. Did mastodon add a feature?

Bar is playing Beatles Spotify. Kill me now.

@byllgrim@mastodon.xyz Badly organized source code is cancer, because cruft starts taking over your system as you kludge together fixes for the poor organization. Soon even the good parts of the software become unrecognizable.

Woe are you, if it ships, because then the business will conclude that it is "working software", and it will live forever!

@JackieLibre MS Office is so horrible. If it wasn't for Microsoft's anticompetitive monopoly, it would have never beaten the much better alternatives available in the 80s-90s.
