My own perspective on AI notwithstanding, this is a thoughtful article about the future. It's good to hear someone with some real knowledge, power, and leverage pushing in the right direction on all this. www.gatesnotes.com/a-turbulent-...

In 1960 we only knew of a dozen or so “near earth asteroids” advances have been made with telescopes and photo tech and now we’re aware of tens of thousands of near earth asteroids. So telescope production must be causing these asteroids to appear. Right!? Right?! #thisisactuallyaboutautism

Me, feeling clever while moving house: “I’m just gonna put this [important item] in with this other stuff I’m hauling just for now, and then when I get there I’ll take it right out because I’m need it very soon” Narrator: it’s been 2 weeks and he still hasn’t found his [important item].

UX tip 💡 Show validation feedback for things that can be validated, like the SWIFT code. This little "Valid" label is so reassuring.
Form displaying bank details for the United States, including a valid SWIFT/BIC code and a hidden account number field.

Moving as a millennial is both easy and hard because I still have every original box for every electronic device I still own so moving them is nice and safe, but finding storage for all the boxes afterwards is a mess. (Mostly joking)

The theme song to Amphibia that my kids watch reminds me SO much of the theme song to Parks and Rec, even though it’s not that similar. Why? #musictheory

I understand that two different commits edited the same origin, and "Git History correctness" is important, but if the end result is literally identical, it should merge without conflict. <<<<<<< HEAD 3.4.16 ======= 3.4.16 >>>>>>> hotfix/some_shit #git

So, I was trying to force a failure to test something, and sent an injured waterboy after Sonar expecting him to get annihilated, but ended up with an achievement instead :)
