According to Google Search Console, this little web app of mine is performing very well! https://boroughs.dpope.uk All it does is tell you which London borough you’re in, which is apparently something that hundreds of people search for every month!

sorry but I won't let tech bros take the term "optimist" and turn it into their own thing

Nothing depresses me like the knowledge that I am going to have to spend some of my precious workday reading a manifesto.

Dear #OpenSource contributors: do not reformat the code. It takes a second to run the formatter, but it requires hours to review the massive patch to ensure there aren't any bad changes hiding among all the spaces and brackets moved around.

It's an "use this custom API that we built" instead of "follow this standard that worked since the 1990s" kind of day.

So many men’s first instinct is to be condescending, because they think it will immediately place them in a power position over me. But, like, you just told me this interaction matters to you – and you’re emotionally invested in winning it for some reason. With that knowledge alone I could crush you, baby boy

On October 11th, WireMock Inc together with the London Java Community organised a hack day in our new office in London. This event was held as a part of Hacktoberfest. We got 16 participants and worked together on a few projects like YAML configuration support in WireMock, OpenTelemetry integrations, improving documentation and Kotlin DSL, and more.

I'm way too old to realize that people can't read me (which, come on, should be no surprise, kids never got me either) - I have realized that a bunch of people in my life think I am unhappy with them. When the truth is: I am in absolute awe of them, and feel deeply deficient in comparison. It does not help that I never realized this. How does one convince people that you think they are wonderful? Asking for a me.

What’s funny about being non-binary is that, to me, I’m the normal one. I think our whole thing just kind of works, no? You’re all just being silly about colors and stuff. We’re the main characters of gender, just admit it.

My supervisor complains that everyone is sick on any given day half the office is empty and yet he has noticed that I am always at my desk so he asks what my secret is and so I reply that I must be lucky as I adjust the straps on my mask.

Writing my thoughts down as I start a potentially long process of something and writing "Whatever and whenever it happens, I'm still me :)" just felt nice, a reminder to myself that ultimately I'm still the same, I might just have some more answers to some things in my life #Journalling

Attached: 1 image I really try not to be overly critical of local government, having worked there and knowing the pressures. But this advice in this day and age is indefensible. The service itself has a load balancer in front of it. All it needs is an HTTPS certificate and a routing rule to terminate HTTPS connections.

Tomorrow, toddler permitting, I will have time to update my talks page (https://ohhelloana.blog/talks/) to include my latest and future talks as well as the link to my most recent interview! I really enjoy doing the interviews & guest writing - I love the prompts and that I don't have to rush doing it. So yeah, I'm keen to do more of it! Let me know! 💖

I had a chat with @proactivepaul@mastodon.social about Barcamp. Turns out it’s not hosted in a bar, nor is it a camping trip. It’s a gathering of people geeking out over whatever they want to talk about. I’m looking forward to learning a lot of random facts next month! #bclxii

I don’t want to alarm you but we are getting dangerously close to the 10 year anniversary of The Force Awakens

bad game idea: French French Revolution whether that's a rhythm game involving deep tongue-kissing or guillotines is up to you

Ring fit fucking slaps

Another day, another HN comment thread that's mostly full of people complaining about someone's use of furry art in a technical post. This time, however, it's not me, Xe, or Cendyne that they're bitching about! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37887426

Summary: we are leaving Twitter because Elon Musk is encouraging hate and division. See you on LinkedIn and Mastodon!

You don't need to mansplain, you need a good pegging and to STFU. 💀​

I've been sent some bone-conducting Bluetooth headphone which - so the manufacturer says - are waterproof. I don't have a swimming pool at home (😢 ) so I'm going to try them out in the shower. There won't be any videos - but if this thing electrocutes my head please know that I died doing what I love; dicking around with weird gadgets from China.

The second annual Petaluma Pride Festival was a wild success, and waaay bigger than anticipated. Now it's time to rest, recover, ... and do the bookkeeping.

This is the 7th edition of People and Blogs, the series where I ask interesting people to talk about themselves and their blogs. Today we have Ana …

I spend an unreasonable amount of time making sure my blog renders well even if CSS isn't loaded. Whether it's a dodgy Internet connection, a text-only browser, or something else - it's nice knowing that my blog is in a logical order and perfectly usable without decorations. So fire up Lynx or w3m and take a look at your site. What do you need to change?

Just found the Google Sound Amplifier app for people who need ambient noises amplified. Really useful! Needs headphones in but definitely boosts. Except it only uses the phone microphone. You can't attach a different microphone and set it to use that. Alternatives?
