All I'm saying is, if you're someone who has to go to tons of meetings, you should set "meetings" just for yourself, to book time for getting things done

The range increments of a full subway sandwich are only 10/20 so you have disadvantage on your throw more than a few paces away. You can double the range with a half-sandwich wrapped tightly and druis have a fifth-level subclass feature that removes disadvantage if the sandwich has sprouts
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

the Python Software Foundation is foregoing a large NSF grant that would have been contingent on their agreeing to terminate their diversity and inclusion initiatives and given the feds the ability to cripple them financially for refusing to comply

I'm not sure who else is in the market for a new android launcher but I'm so far pretty impressed by Smart Launcher 6. Handles work profile apps well, backups of layouts and settings, an RSS reader panel, and everything I liked from Nova launcher but just feels more maintained and prettier

Heroku AppLink is a huge part of what I always hoped to join Heroku to make happen: dramatically lowered obstacles to bringing Heroku compute into the Salesforce platform umbrella. How well that plugs in to Agentforce is some very tasty icing on that cake.

reminder that no one should be getting sent to el salvador.

not innocent people, not guilty people, no one.

this is unconscionable, and as long as it is tolerated for anyone, will continue to be a threat for everyone.
One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build:

1. Heroku, except hand-rolled
2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence
3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith
4. A solution to the halting problem

* Hyperbole. I hope

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
