This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Duffy Warns Thanksgiving Holiday Travel Will ‘Slow to a Trickle’
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that US air travel would come to a virtual standstill during the Thanksgiving holiday in late November if the government shutdown persists, as more air-traffic controllers opt not to work without paychecks.

Fun story: the dev lead for Windows 3.1 required all his devs to use machines which were dog slow every day because he figured that if they had to put up with slower machines than our customers they would make sure Windows 3 ran REALLY well on all machines.
This laptop PC I got for testing is dog slow. My Parallels VM version of Windows 11 is actually a lot faster.
But it works and it was dirt cheap, so it’s cool for testing because a lot of us have dog slow computers out there.

This Talking Postgres Ep33 w/Rob Emanuele was SO MUCH FUN. I loved it all: (1) origin story as a musician, (2) views on developer experience, (3) explaining the new VS Code extension for Postgres, (4) perspectives on creativity & improv, (5) how he no longer codes the way he used to code, (6) more!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but - DEVELOPERS ARE DISTRIBUTED.
They don't live just in SF.
Brilliant folks everywhere are working remotely and on-site, on software that runs major companies and governments. Forgetting that is short-sighted.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

It's still so weird to me that the idea of universal healthcare is so political here. It's a given in so many other places, and I miss it. And people don't realize how good it is for innovation. You can take so many more risks when your health and well-being aren't tied to a salaried employer.
