For folks using #rust here's your reminder on why you shouldn't call .unwrap() on that Result type. You aren't actually smarter than the compiler, most of the time.

Got some of the N1 #Nerf toys for my son's birthday, and I was disappointed to see that these aren't the toys of my childhood. I remember battles behind couch cushions, with foam darts. These are more like real bullets, and they hurt. Maybe I'm just old but, this wasn't the fun I hoped it would be.
These pancake flat sprinter stages are a real slog. #TourdeFrance I think they should do less of this sort of stages (Stage 3) and more punchy stuff (like Stage 2). Everyone in the peloton knows its a sprint finish and it's like 180km with very little interest in the race other than the scenery.
Classic corporate move to buy out Eurosport for the #TourDeFrance, charge users £30/mo to watch the race, and then kill the ad free stream. This is why we can't have nice things, these broadcasting conglomerates are allowed to pay millions for exclusive rights, and then have to recoup their costs.

Once bread has become toast, it can never be bread again.
Nice take. As someone who is/was an AI skeptic, I do think think these systems are useful, just like a text editor is useful for writing code, a tool that combined with judgement and effort. It is not a solution all by itself. It will completely destroy a lot of developer jobs though. #ai #dev

Crazy summer thing my wife just pointed out to me as expats living in the UK: Packages of hot dogs and hot dog buns contain the same amount.
Long overdue, languages should support a variety of development environments.

In my mind, this is exactly the problem with current tech / founder / startup culture. Airbnb already has its problem to solve, but somehow its not enough. This sort of expand our offering is such typical MBA non-sense. Execute well. Stop trying to boil the ocean. #business #tech #startup

It is both awesome and completely insane that #sqlite is in the public domain. The documentation is incredible. The performance? Incredible. Oh, and just in case you need a full text search engine in your database with zero configuration, it's got that too. (FTS5) And they give it away for free.
The joy when you get 3 more episodes of #Andor when you were only expecting 1.
