The world's largest single-capacity floating wind platform has two turbines
  • Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.

    The point I'm trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.

  • I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Sociopath
  • This fella loves using his leverage manipulating people into whatever the fuck he wants them to do. The border between good and evil is so close it is nearly indistinguishible. Stay the fuck away from him if you can.

  • Full Stack Programmer Doing Frontend
  • This is me.

    I would say I'm a fairly proficient dev overall, though on this one project I had to work the frontend. It was shit. Everything was shit.

    The backend was a steaming pile of crap, and all of the implications of terrible design decisions were offloaded to the frontend. The frontend became the source of every single delay as it was where all crap started to surface. They were ignoring it, so besides frontend communication was also crap. Eventually, in line with ignoring all other issues, they sacked me.

    Long story short, backend devs: treat your FE devs well.

  • What are your programming hot takes?
  • This! Software engineering suggests a certain professionalism wich unfortunately is hard to find. From an accessibility point of view I am simply not able to participate in these cowboy style events for I do not have the mental capacity to do so. Ironically I have been able to work more effectively than others by focussing on quality.

    Coincidentally I published some of my work earlier this week. It's an opinionated library dictating the structure of your core domain. In return it completely decouples infrastructure. This way you do not really have to touch infra at all during day to day operations, which simplifies things immensely! As the domain exists at the very core of most software projects, it greatly impacts the way everything else is designed as well.

  • Guns, Republicans and "manliness": We all suffer from the right's mental health crisis
  • In my humble opinion all these fellas just seem to be running around like a beheaded chicken in search for the slightest amount self worth. Instead they started yearning for surrogates like wealth, power, status and what not.

    The problem with these surrogates is that you cannot ever get enough of it. It'll never fill the gaping hole which is their sense of self.

  • Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
  • Am I the only one thinking these trust tokens are not going to prevent bots from scraping websites?

    Eventually, somewhere, someone will just develop the infrastructure to work their way around this, right?
