I don’t know if everyone liked the Witcher, but I think Netflix should, ahem

🎶 toss a coin for the sequel 🎶

At work we’re thinking about various steps to increase diversity. Some parts of the company are already pretty diverse, others like tech-areas less so.

If you’re a less well represented person in tech, what are the things that you look for in a healthy working environment, what would you like to see more of?

There are tons of people in a room on fire asking

“But won’t putting out that fire require me to do things and wouldn’t that inconvenience me?”

Point that out. There is no carrying on as usual, just a choice between trapped in a hell world or doing something about it.

I was in Hauptbahnhof and an orchestra played belgian themes to celebrate it and they handed out waffles. It was nice

Fuck yeah trains!

Today the night train service started between Vienna and Brussels, and it will start between Vienna and Amsterdam from next year.

Convenient and great for the environment.

Less is more, however sometimes thinking more about it means: less is less.

Maybe it depends on context idk

I love having a large whiteboard at home

....just not too frequently

Rate limit.

10/10, I rate the limit

I’d rate limit any time again

Just think of how much better the world would be if Intel wouldn’t have been an effective monopoly in server and desktop/laptop cpus for the past 30 years, while being absolutely shit at it for the past decade or more.

Imagine the increased prosperity that effective anti-trust would have provided. We rarely think about the cost of lax anti-trust enforcement, but it’s absolutely staggering.

They: Doctor Who-Who-Whoo!

Me: Wait, that’s not right!

Them:

Today I had to convince someone that using dns based hostnames for a given backend service is better than just using IPv4 private address space addresses.

In 2020.

Perhaps if the UK head of state would not be some real-life Eastenders setup, maybe they could function in a way that benefited their country?

If you think about it the UK is going through its biggest crisis since at least Suez, possibly the biggest internal crisis since the american independence war and the hereditary head of state is 1. Incapable of doing anything about it 2. occupied by endless family drama

We’ve been married for almost a year now and the marzipan figurines from our wedding are still going strong.

I never thought I’d be married one day or that being with someone would really feel this loving.
