Watching the Dr Who proms and remembering that at one point I played the Royal Albert Hall. That was a helluva experience. Sometimes I forget I’ve done more in my 40-something years than the average human, yet I still struggle with the … you know, *human* stuff,

we're firm believers that the best time to write the docs for a thing is as you learn it for the very first time. the longer you wait, the harder you'll find it to remember all the tiny details that tripped you up.

First family gathering after coming out (again)! Everyone has been supportive but still, I was awash with doubt and nerves going in. They asked good questions, and didn't make a big deal of it... and hearing them use my new name was just :meowmeltlove: Just a few more things to do before I re-introduce myself in a public fashion :heart_trans:

Wishing those celebrating today a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Now I can start looking forward to a very exciting 2025 👀 Watch this space...

we need to bring back okcupid's "i do not want to be seen by neurotypicals" option

Can we bring it to the physical world. As a toggle.

The amount of people walking out of total wine with boxes of alcohol so they can deal with their families today 😂 I just avoid mine 🤷🏾‍♀️🤣

The Forge CLI makes it delightfully easy for developers to build and run apps on the Forge platform. Read our 10 principles for designing successful CLIs.

A few months ago I created a list of tips for software (Slack, Gmail, Github, Zoom, Jira, etc) that are commonly used in many companies (Elastic that I work for included) and I believe can improve productivity, efficiency and enhance collaboration, especially in remote/distributed companies. There's nothing ground breaking or new here, but I like

Events of the last week have me thinking about something that’s true in a lot of contexts. A lot of people like to have control of a relationship; control of a situation; control of the message; or in this case, control of a community. I get it, realizing that you don’t have control can be unsettling. But in reality, not having control is the natural order of things and you’ll have a much better time of it once you realize that.

Occasionally I wake up in the middle of the night and research foreign residency requirements bc the most powerful people/institutions in the world are intent on destroying me, so I have immense empathy for politicians scared a poor 23 year old trans communist will call them cis scum or whatever.

Got myself a new tank top 🖤

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me amazing news about State of Open! Can't wait to see you there.

@josh@josh.tel How does a non binary ninja kill their opponents? They/them🤪

Relatedly, I'm now using they/them pronouns. More on this later :heart_trans:

Someone in my life was recently talking about masked autism in adults: The naive clinician or therapist asks, "do you have difficulty with socks?" and the autistic adult says no and concludes they don't have autism The really knowledgeable one asks, "so tell me about socks," and receives a massive infodump about the very specific choices they made about socks and comfort

I've been reading *a lot* recently and it's very clear that the worst virus to infect this planet is Christianity, with Capitalism and Theocracy as the worst side effects

I just love this talk title: "If you look into the abyss long enough, bash will stare back"

a montage as I code with intent for the first time in a long while. It seems that I make the same face when I code as I do when I spar. A thing I do as someone with profound ADHD, is that when I can focus, I record myself talking a process out and then I use the transcription to stub out my code.

this sex could have been a wank

I was a jailer for two years. Not proud of it, I needed the money. One of the repeat offenders we had was an old man who was HIV positive. He went to jail several times while I was working there and always for the same thing. He would shoplift items from a store while in full view of a cop. This old man had a cane and could barely walk. There was no way he expected to get away with it. After he was arrested we had to process him and the medical questions always led back to his HIV diagnosis. The state provided him with his HIV medication while he was awaiting trial where he always pleaded guilty. He was always released after serving less than 60 days pretrial. Upon release, he was given six months worth of his HIV medications (which he needed to survive) and he would shoplift again when he ran out of medication. It would have been cheaper for the state to just give him the medications without him needing to be part of the criminal justice system first. He was shoplifting so he could stay alive. #Healthcare #luigimangione #denydefenddepose #Anticapitalism #EatTheRich

Attached: 1 image While it wasn't a planned "1.0 feature", the first major #OPA version is substantially faster than previous versions. I didn't even intend to work on #OPA at the time, but started looking into how to reduce the eval time of #Regal linting some of the largest projects. And well, one thing led to another. The 10-20% improvement mentioned is a modest estimate. Regal is about 50% faster, and many other types of policies likely to see similar improvements in evaluation time.
