I don't get it. Why are we all raising flags? What's the use in picking a side in a murderous endless war which the people don't want and nobody has ever won?

I stand with anybody and everybody who wants an end to the cycle of violence and a peaceful solution in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

#Gaza

Just a reminder that in a war where both sides are killing innocent civilians, you really don't have to pick a side.

if i can offer younger developers any advice its this: develop a visceral allergy to complexity as soon as you can and nurture that allergy your whole life until it approaches debilitating.

all else being equal complexity is bad. more "stuff" is bad, period. there are dopamine triggers and corporate metrics that may indicate otherwise but they are catastrophically wrong.

fight to make simpler things. sometimes you really cannot, but thats a fight you need to have and lose if thats the case...

(UK) Government rape adviser leaves role over ‘lack of will to change’

A government adviser on rape has said she is leaving the role due to a “lack of will to continue to change” in the criminal justice system, citing myths about the crime perpetuated at the highest levels of the civil service.

Emily Hunt said she was leaving the UK to return to America because she does not feel safe.

(All I can say is: yikes! I knew it was bad, but this is something else.)

My sister-in-law was ordered to return to the office by some brilliant manager, with a 100+ person half-day meeting just to improve everybody's odds. Someone at work who had been asymptomatic last week then tested positive for COVID over the weekend. Now my SIL and brother both have COVID for the first time.

Shit.

Yes, both are vaccinated.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

Wear a mask. Oppose unnecessary return to the workplace mandates/death sentences. COVID IS NOT OVER. Take care of each other.

Reminder to U.K. 'Motorists'

When Rishi Sunak says he's on your side, what he means is that he's going to cancel loads of public transport projects, forcing more cars on to the roads and making all your journeys even more congested and miserable than they already are.

You'll be stuck in a traffic jam, but, please, do enjoy the freedom Sunak has given to you.
