Please support Upfest. The tiny crew of volunteers pull off a miracle to make such a huge festival happen. Volunteer a day of labour grafting with us friendly bunch or pledge some cash to cover materials.

🤯 When a query uses the IN() operator, the execution time increases linearly with each additional argument. So IN(2,4,6,8) will take approx double the time as IN(2,4). ⚠️ Apparently efficient number-based clauses can easily become unwieldy blockers with just a small change 🔭👀

I started an open source repository of GIMP palettes for all the major ranges of paint for street art. First range added is MTN94, I invite contributions for the others. bitbucket.org/martinjoiner/s…

1st series of "Dave" (starring Dave) has left a real impression on me. I can't stop thinking about it. Episodes 5 & 9 were particularly unexpected gut punches of honest reality. Beautiful television. It's on BBC iPlayer.

Cycled into city centre for the first time since we started working from home during lockdown. Lunch from St Nicks food stalls! I've missed Sophie's so much!!! So happy to be eating this 😊

😕 Maintaining a legacy codebase with a mix of tab and space indented lines? 💻 Want all your /new/ lines to only be space-indented? 🎉 I made this pre-commit hook for people just like you... github.com/martinjoiner/p… Please share.

Impressed with Marvin Rees speaking on BBC Radio 4 this morning. A calm, intellectual, strategic look at all the nuances of the big picture. Every "it's a bit more complicated than that" type thought that popped into my head was then spoken by him.

Made this video to show the strange results that I stumbled across on GIPHY youtu.be/DJ_O6iVIThk Now I'm interested in how to debug/understand deep learning results. Hoping a fellow geek at GIPHY might be willing to give me some insight?

Dear Developer, Right now, someone you've never met, working at a company you've not yet heard of is writing and deploying a buggy block of code that — in 5 years time — you will be fixing. 🤔 ... 🤯

Updating my CV. What to do with oldish technologies? I don't want people to think I've never used JQuery, but I also don't want to come across as being enthusiastic about it in 2022! I can maintain it but I'm not going to implement it.

I am currently trying to return some lost wallets that I found. I enjoy the puzzle of returning lost items. The search to find them and then the challenge of making contact in a private world. Remember when a big book of everyones phone number was delivered for free?! Crazy.

5 years ago I returned a wallet that I found in the street. It turned out the owner worked on the floor below me. We became friends, I introduced her to another friend, they fell in love and made a baby and I am the godfather.

Very happy to have been asked to do another lightning talk at PHP SW on Wednesday! My talk will be "The Art of Good Tests" where I will explain that there are no rules, only guiding principles. meetup.com/php-sw/events/… #php #bristol #devlife

I love the BBC programme Race Across the World and this series I'm playing along! My mate Paul has made a tiny website for people to predict the outcome. All just for fun. (It's fantacie futball league but for travel geeks) #raceacrosstheworld

On worldracepredictions.com I've predicted Ladi & Monique to win 🥇 because she has great trust in her father, and he is very wise. Together they seem unflappable in the way they both embrace the fun of solving logistical puzzles. #raceacrosstheworld
