I'm at #KubeCon this week. Have spent most of today at the co-located ArgoCon. They have probably my favourite logo of any software I regularly use 🐙

I am officially one of The Ancients, Keeper of Knowledge of the Before Time

Post to the subreddit r/AskHistorians:

What was navigation like for vehicle drivers in the United States before the internet and
GPS?

Before GPS devices and smartphones/cellular internet networks were a thing (Garmin company was founded 1989), millions of Americans were already getting around driving without the use of those inventions. How did they navigate? Did everyone need stacks of maps? Were drivers frequently lost? Did everyone have to understand the interstate system and use intuition to guide them? How burdensome was driving before GPS? Did drivers pay people to calculate an optimal route for them?

Amazing. Imagine saying that when your entire game plan was just putting in more crosses than a catholic gift shop at Easter.

Omg i just discovered that the nation’s social security database is just a file called todo.txt on Jeff’s laptop! Someone should do something. Maybe aggregate the free threaded marshaler or call a RPC with a regex and a little agentic ai. I could do this in a weekend but I’m too busy soloing diablo4

Hello non-technical people. Just a heads up. Musk isn’t a programmer, a systems architect, or anyone with experience building or running large systems of any kind. However, he’s taken credit for others binding large systems which makes him think he’s That Guy. He is not.

If you think about it, the story of Christmas is a lot like the history of the GNU project… it’s all about a beardy guy who goes around giving away free stuff. Happy Christmas, internet. Chrinternet. youtu.be/GhlWSOQ4cC4?...

Day 17 of #AdventOfCode and I'm very happy that I'm only one day behind. I just took a sneak peak at today's puzzle before going to bed and it does look like a really fun one

This is amazing. YouTube algorithm introduced me to @daveeddy.com solving day 2 of #AdventOfCode using only bash. Super impressive already, but then he realises that the creator of advent of code is watching. Love it! Ends with a really nice chat with @was.tl youtu.be/hz3lStp5md8?...

Day 5 of #AdventOfCode done! An assumption made in part 1 derailed my attempts at part 2, but after quite a bit of head-scratching I managed to figure it out. Makes me appreciate even more how these puzzles are constructed!

Just saved my input for day 4 of advent of code and vscode thinks it looks like Powershell... Not sure if that is a comment on vscode's language recognition capabilities or Powershell's syntax 🤷 #AdventOfCode
