Ruth [☕️ 👩🏻💻📚✍🏻🧵🪡🍵]"In his 1995 book Trust in Numbers, the historian of science Theodore Porter argued that organisations adopt quantitative rules not because numbers are more accurate but because they are more defensible. Judgment is politically vulnerable. Rules are not. The procedure exists to make discretion disappear, or seem to. The system’s actual flexibility lives entirely in this unacknowledged interpretive work, which means it can be removed by anyone who mistakes it for inefficiency."

tomasinoDo you want your computer to sound like an 80s #scifi device with lots of bleeps and bloops and swoops? Are you running #linux?

This is my recreation of an old program from nullsoft called 'beep' that does just that. The more stuff your computer is doing (cpu, mem, network, etc) the more it beeps and boops. Enjoy!
Jason GormanEver since I read Steve McConnell's After The Goldrush, I've been listening to people tell me why software engineering should be exempt from the kind of controls that e.g. electrical engineering or medicine or plumbing are subject to.
The reason is almost always "Their work can do real harm".
Yeah? Look around you, dude.
