I know that isn't how government spending works, but the Fisher Price telephone is hilarious.

A baffling bit of trivia. Canned food was invented in the late 18th century (1772) and was patented in the early 19th century (1810) and became common pretty quick (1820s). So far so good, but what is baffling is that the first can opener did not appear until around 1850-1860 (the one below is patented in 1855). So for 50+ years people were opening the darn things with whatever tools at hand, hammers, chisels etc.

Any #erlang devs looking for a #contract? We have a company who needs 4-6 weeks worth of work spread over two projects. They'd like to start soon, but can be flexible on timing. More work may be possible after that.

#XMPP and #Ejabberd experience would be very useful. I'm told the work is quite in-depth. Please reboost!

With this requirements many developers and projects will consider moving elsewhere

I can't stress this enough:

Please STOP using #cloudflare on your websites!

They are extremely hostile to visitors who value their privacy and are
continuously making the web an awful experience.

#cloudflare #privacy #usability

Pixel Wheels has the best bugs!

How I know when to start a new software project:

- Do I have time for this project? No.
- Have I finished my prior projects? Also no.
- Is there a need for this project? Definitely no.

It is time!

And just when I thought we'd reached an all time low, something like this pops up and show me just how wrong I am. #morons #idiots

@lupyuen Our tech is becoming increasingly fragile. In many respects we're going backwards instead of forwards. The producers don't care, of course, because it creates vendor lock-in. The consumers don't care, on the whole, as they don't do any risk assessment. They probably aren't even cognisant of the risks. Even tech-savvy folk have a tendency to ignore downsides as they embrace the latest shiny. It all feels like we're in a giant mudslide towards the cliff.

When life gives you lemons, give the lemons back. Why were the lemons free? Is something wrong with the lemons? Are the lemons haunted? Be suspicious of the lemons.
