It's really difficult to properly express how nuts this is. Meta's 2.2 gigawatt data centre fossil fuel plant was already world-leading bad. Now they're adding 5.2 EXTRA gigawatts on top. So SEVEN NEW FOSSIL FUEL PLANTS for one data centre.

@eljojo just a few billionaires less and everything would be fine
@fuzzygroup wow, this has to be a joke.

Honestly, e-bikes have been the technology that has improved my life the most in the last five years. I live in a hilly place, and with my first e-bike a few years ago, I suddenly became able to commute by bike. Then, with the cargo bike last year, I suddenly became able to take my eight-year-old places by bike.

She sometimes actually hugs me while we're out on the bike. Best damn thing in the world, and it couldn't happen in a car.

@looopTools I don't think there is much of a difference between the two. If your brain already is used to how AR handles relations you sometimes have to rethink.
We use Sequel::Model as an ORM but often fall back to using raw `Sequel::Database` (`DB[:my_table]…`, which I think is a good option to have.
I sometimes think that the code would look better without using an ORM at all, because these Model classes tend to attract code that does not seem to belong there. Sequel makes that easy.
@looopTools Most of our backend at work is build on Sinatra and Sequel (alternative to AR). Ruby hardly get's in the way of what you want to build.

So someone asked me about entering the software industry today and it was hard to give an enthusiastic answer.

Various reasons, but mostly realising that I cant remember the last time I seen things being built that were interesting, that were useful, that helped people etc.

Where are the people building exciting and useful projects, anyone seen any projects recently and thought that it could improve their lives?

⚙️🧱 Designer Steve Guinness spent years perfecting the internal mechanisms of this 2,000-piece working #lego typewriter. The finished build includes a functional carriage that advances with every keypress and a platen roller that can hold real paper.

Man builds functional typewriter out of Legos

The inkless device works a bit like a printing press.
