RIP Anthony Bourdain. Make sure you know and your friends know there are suicide hotlines always available to help suicide.org/international-…

Meeting @joebeef last Saturday was definitely the highlight of this Montreal trip. Great guy and everyone should feel good about supporting his restaurants.

Copies of timestamps on files on High Sierra on #APFS are truncating to microseconds, including «cp -p source destination». Joy. #macOS

Haha nor do I. To each their own is kinda of my point. If you force an entire team to use X, given a team of size greater than 3(?) you've slowed someone down. And some tools are better for some people. The forced standardization is the issue (imo), not the tool or process.

Amazon is now selling Refactoring 2nd Ed on Kindle martinfowler.com/books/refactor… Currently they are discounting the hardback but not the kindle edition, so the former is a little cheaper. (Seems odd to me too.)

Who killed the question mark: twitter, slack, or google

If we are still around for elections, I'm voting for whoever adds this to their platform: the max age at which you can be (re)elected president is 60. (any govt office?) Does anyone believe that they will be at their best, mentally and/or physically, in their late 60s and above?

Preppers are smug af right now; in 2 weeks the new entertainment moguls, drive in movie theater owners, will be around to buy up the extra supplies.

Remember when we loved people despite their imperfections because: "Grandpa was in WW2" or "Grandma lived through the depression". I wonder if we'll find some tolerance after we live through this.

Which would you trust more today?

I'm not against Trump. I'm not against Biden. I'm against pretending these are the 2 best choices.

Shame about covid killing OpenTable ; I've been a fan for years. But, at this time in the world, I'm not sure how they survive if this is their approach towards their customers.

I once wrote a book on testing. Martin Fowler recently mentioned it on his website. (Thank you Martin) It's freely available to all: leanpub.com/wewut

When the world moves away from shallow hot takes, there’s going to be a lot of blue check marks up for grabs.

I would pay to watch Tim Dillon break down tweets from lil duval - with Duval on the podcast to elaborate. These men are not comedians, they’re modern day philosophers.

Coming to #JavaOne? Make sure to attend the opening keynote on October 18th to hear from long-time #Java executive, technical expert, and community contributor...Georges Saab. Even I'll have a small cameo on-stage! #JDK #OpenJDK

Todd L. Montgomery discusses lessons learned in designing systems, especially those based on replicated state machines, that need to continue operating. Couldn't make it to #QConSF? You can still attend the conference online at #QConPlus: bit.ly/3CHZhfo

Working with systems is more than writing code, it is generation of Active Knowledge. In this article, I describe the concept and how it can be used to impact organizational decision-making. stayrelevant.globant.com/en/technology/…

A "manual vs automated" decision based solely on "time spent" ignores the leverage of automation, often providing a suboptimal ROI.
