Every week, happens in the middle of my Monday workday, and I generally follow on vicariously through the hashtag without actually watching, or sometimes miss out completely.

Every week, I wonder whether it's actually a better way to experience the movie in question.

Not this week.

pointing out that rust does not fix all classes of errors is just not the epic dunk people seem to think it is

more like a reheated PL-world version of the "thanks, obama" meme or something? like ok I guess if you really need to get that out of your system

@graydon even the cloudflare eng who wrote that line, and the sre's who deployed and dealt with it would agree.

The bigger issue for them today was that despite increased errors (detection of the problem) the code continued to get deployed, didn't have canaries or didn't have automated rollback, or whatever other operational controls for production should have been wrapped around that error getting surfaced with a crash.

    POLL: Which of the following things are you able to do one-handed

    @mcc It depends. Does the bra have to survive the process? Does the person? Does the hand?

    Weird Android question:

    I want an app I can drop text into that makes it easy to display that text big.

    If I have text I want to put it in this app and show my tablet to someone and them not have to put their face way up close to the screen.

    Firefox, Chrome, Simplenote, the one offline notepad app I know, all make you go two levels deep into a settings menu to change text size. I want the thing I have in various PC apps where if the text is too small, I can just go + + + + + and now it's big.

    @mcc can you just pinch/zoom it though?

    @mcc I thought firefox, when showing a text file on android, did change the font size and rewrap the content.

    I just went to check, and.. it won't even offer to open a downloaded .txt file (anymore?). wtf.

    People try to talk to me and I just immediately shut them down with "cannot borrow me as mutable"
