Last night I had a nightmare that Gtk+ had not been maintained by 7 years and that Owen Taylor had moved on to a secret Red Had project on social media and I was running frantically trying to get a new release out.

We’ve all heard the phrase “under-promise, over-deliver.”

But what about “over-promise, unsustainably deliver to crush competition, gradually erode consumer trust over time?”

Through Open Doors - Arnos Grove

I love playing a symmetrical game where I catch passing trains through the open doors of stationary trains.

As far as I know carriages only officially open to both sides at 5 stations.

What do you think of these changes? How do you create your passwords securely?

It's still gonna be a while before universities and companies stop unnecessary password rotations for practices IRL.

🔥 Twitter vs Fediverso 🔥

A la encuesta de @ElSaltoDiario sobre si quedarse o no en Twitter podemos ver que:

En Twitter la mayoría quieren que se queden. El el Fediverso prefieren que lo dejen.

Pero en el Fediverso hay un 79% más de votos que en Twitter. Pero aún seguimos con la matraca de "es que en el Fediverso hay poca interacción y por eso he abandonado mi cuenta".

Twitter es un nido de ratas, huid de allí todes y venid al Fediverso! La reorganización es clave para nuestra sociedad.

Pedir a los rentistas que no sean avariciosos no es política de vivienda.

Hay que tocar los beneficios de los grandes tenedores e intervenir el precio de la vivienda.

Sí, intervenir el precio de la vivienda, ministra. Ya hemos perdido una legislatura, no perdamos esta también.

Na to že som minulý týždeň skoro celý robil a do toho cvičil... v pondelok po tréningu mohol teambuilding dopadnúť aj horšie. Necítim sa ale najlepšie po pravde.


Completely Useless Legislation, Exhibit A:

Hungary has a new law that students have to surrender their phones at school. The phones have to be locked up, hauled around in safety boxes by teachers etc. Students get them back at the end of the day.

A friend of mine teaches high school. He noticed that when students get their phones back, they don't even turn them on, just toss them in their bag.

Decoy phones.

Seriously, no one thought about this?...

@cachondo there was a vibrating watch called the Meteor. Not sure if it’s still available. I think it cost about 80 quid.

@dwilliams niche markets, I guess. Sad that scale should still pose problems with JIT production, 3d printing, that sort of stuff should have helped.


I heard they’ve made the world’s strongest suction cup.

Wednesday. Sitting through a presentation at work and really thinking that this is what i'm taking a whole bunch of meds to stay awake for?
Where's the relaxation? The fun? Family time? The books? The Movies?
Hopefully it'll be over soon!
I know, ineed to work to enjoy everything else. but when your waking hours are so limited it's even more frustrating that this has to be the priority.


Soy estadística, pero también la persona con más aversión al riesgo sobre el planeta. La gente me pide consejo como lo primero, siempre respondo como lo segundo.

90% de probabilidad de que si el día del examen sacan cuatro bolas¹ con títulos de temas para que elijas cuál desarrollar, al menos un tema de esos será de los que te has estudiado. ¿Es 90% suficiente o iríais tirándoos de los pelos pensando en el 10% en el que no caería nada de lo que has estudiado?

¹alerta si te sacas las opos de profe en #murcia, se rumorea en sindicatos y academias que hay una bola menos este año

in reply to modulux

jajaja, es que por un tema...
Yo respeto mucho a quien se prepara oposiciones de este tipo, porque no poder confiar ni en la misericordia de quien redacte el examen para no profundizar en esos cambios de última hora me pondría tensísima.

En las últimas del INE también cambiaron el estatuto del organismo mientras me las estudiaba a un mes del examen y me faltó presentarme con dos pistolas.

in reply to Elena

Tengo unos compañeros que están haciendo la promoción interna que tardó un montón desde la OPE y convocatoria hasta el examen, se modificaron leyes clave, y claro, ahora el temario se refiere a títulos y capítulos de leyes que fueron totalmente reestructuradas, y hasta que nombren tribunal no saben muy bien como se va a interpretar eso, suponiendo que el tribunal emita algún tipo de aclaración.

Hi there! It hasn't been released yet! But it's in development :)


We often saw statistic that there are few software companies in the EU as an example of lack of innovation.

But 48% of maintainers of open source projects live in Europe, compared to 38% in North America and 8% in Asia. And the number is growing.

well, with "only" 400 maintainers answering the survey, I think it tells more about who answered the survey than how the maintainer distribution is really like...


My talk titled "CVEMITRECVSSNVDCNAOSS WTF" was very well received at the #NSSS conference with week. So well that I will re-do it live-streamed on Twitch on September 30. (recorded for YouTube as well)

Two big wins for Honduras this month. Our Supreme Court has ruled that darling techbro project ZEDES (special economic zones exempt from local laws and taxes) are unconstitutional.

The National Energy Company won a court ruling against a foreign, private managing company overseeing our electric grid (as assigned through the right wing nationalist party) for failing to reduce energy losses. Already, our current government had managed to free the National Energy Company from privatization and this further ensures the stability of that service for Hondurans. We have been paying lower energy bills since the Libre Party took over and their plan is too keep the company as a nationalized asset, thwarting all attempts from the past government to privatize it.



Random Thought: Visual Studio is the only IDE I know of that can actually solve the halting problem. You launch it, and it's so slow that your development work grinds to a halt.
