how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

Ross Ulbricht ran a massive drug smuggling and sex trafficking site on the dark web called "Silk Road" and is in prison for life. Next time a republican pretends to care about drug trafficking, tell them to stfu.
President Trump at the Libertarian convention: If you vote for me, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht on day one.

I still really like the idea of graphql. I just so happen to have also experienced so much graphql-induced-trauma that I refuse to trust my feeling of liking it.
dont fall for the graphql psyop pushed by frontend devs it's pure lies

Others have pointed this out, but this renaming is stepping on the exact same rake that got him ousted by PayPal. Wrote about this in my book

Tony Fadell co-created the iPhone. In his book, Build, he explains why product management and product marketing should be the same role. "Your messaging is your product. The story you're telling shapes the thing you're making." I've always believed this as someone who did both.

It wasn't until I'd *taught* algorithms a few times that I finally understood why sorting is in the CS curriculum. Unfortunately, most curricula don't explain this! It is NOT because sorting is an important algorithm to learn to implement...
As a 41 year-old software developer do you know how many times I've had to manually implement QuickSort? Zero. Maybe we should test for more useful skills like taking a slow SQL query and optimizing it.

The IRS has quietly built its own prototype system to allow Americans to file tax returns digitally and free of charge, according to three current and former agency officials, essentially creating government software that could disrupt the industry. wapo.st/3pFsd4I
