The math checks out.

Source generators can speed up your application in many places.

The JSON (de)serialization is one of them.

what if sisyphus got a coin every time he rolled the boulder up the hill and then he could spend his coins in the shop to level up his pushing ability but each time he leveled up the boulder also got heavier so the challenge remains the same despite feeling like progression has been made. and what if he was able to unlock sisyphus minions that could roll the boulder up the hill while he was away. also every time he starts a new roll an ad plays. and also he can choose to watch an ad every time he drops the boulder to receive 2x coins for that round. and also you can buy fun skins for the boulder through microtransactions

A team of scientists in Spain and Japan has found live fungi, bacteria and viruses thousands of meters in the Earth’s atmosphere. For their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group chartered a plane and collected air samples over Japan at altitudes of 1,000 to 3,000 meters. The team ended up finding 266 types of fungi and 305 types of bacteria up in the atmosphere. Read more from Phys.org.

When slicing work in to valuable pieces, I notice that many people get stuck on the notion of business value. "How will I know if it's valuable?"

My quick hack is to reverse the situation. "If you didn't do this thing, who would be upset and why?"

If the answer is that nobody would be upset then there's no value here. Do something else instead.

If someone would be upset then that person is your customer and the reason they're upset is the value.

Mercurial!

You have to realize gatekeeping isn't passive, it's not just neutrally happening, it's a fully active 24/7 activity for some people and those people really enjoy it. Sometimes I want to scream when people passive voice the whole thing like "women....are discouraged...from coding" BY WHOM. BY WHOM. IN WHAT WAY.

@Patricia Definitely yes. At least this is my perception from one of the southern countries (Spain)

This feels applicable to so much of the world right now.

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

This world needs a whole lot of intellectuals who are not privileged white men with way too much time on their hands.

They looked at the damaged limb.

"You need to send me back to the factory," the robot said.

"We have a workshop here at the farm."

"I am not allowed to repair myself."

"Can you show me how to do it?"

"You'd do that?"

"I don't want to risk they decide it's cheaper to scrap you."

I would love to do a live stream of me programming my game, but I not a talkative person. My steam would be long periods of silence where I mutter "What the fuck is happening?" followed by busts of "Oh, I'm such an idiot".

"What's the best part of being a telepath?"

"Sometimes people think nasty, prejudiced things-"

"That's the best part?"

"No, the best part is that many will realise when a thought was horrible, and correct themselves."

"And that's the best part?"

"Yes. People try to be better."
