So I ran another half-marathon, mostly to catch back up with @petefothx who had drawn 21km ahead on our month's running challenge. Now I'm ded.
Pete -- please please give me a day of respite before making me chase to catch you again, you machine!

Recently work had me diagnose some slowness on an internal webapp. It uses SQLAlchemy and was being a bit silly with a few of its queries.
This weekend I had to diagnose a slowness in mailman3 -- turned out it was doing similar -- gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-β¦
ORMs BAD, MMKAY?

Sourdough starter pancake, mixed with gochujang, served with a soy sauce, sesame oil, and nice vinegar dip.
I will have to try with some kimchi tomorrow instead, to make @maangchi proud.
(Do koreans use sourdough?)

Co-worker was converting a code base from C++ to @rustlang. While in most benchmarks Rust was faster, there was one where C++ outperformed. The fix? Using iterators instead of array indexing. Making the code _higher level_ made it faster!

So modders. Who can agree to the tag "forge:wrench" for all wrench compatible items?

Tip: if you're committing Wasm files in your project, run this:
git config --global diff.wasm.textconv 'wasm2wat --enable-all --generate-names'
And add this to your global .gitattributes:
*.wasm diff=wasm
Congrats, now you have readable `git diff` on *.wasm binaries!

I never thought there'd be one, but *this* might be the story I think they should drag Farage out to comment on
Eastern European farm workers are being flown to the UK on charter flights to pick fruit and vegetable crops. Air Charter Service told the BBC that the first UK flight will land tomorrow at Stansted carrying 150 Romanian farm workers from Bucharest.

There's a senior backend engineer job open at Memrise where I work - it's remote (even after the pandemic), open to anyone in the UK. It's a great team, and a positive, heavily used, interesting product. apply.workable.com/memrise/jβ¦

Hey @monzo I want to set up a recurring payment for my share of a friend's server bill. Sadly he's in Finland and I can't work out how to set up a recurring international payment -- am I missing something?

I tweeted ONCE about wanting to lie face first in grass during all this and my mom SENT ME A PATCH OF GRASS IN THE MAIL.
MOM!!!!!!
people with lawns right now really don't know good they have it. I would go out and lie face-down in some grass so hard.

Vintage Zilog computer from 1982, the MCZ 2/60, used the Z80. But why is there an Exxon logo on it? In the 1980s everyone wanted to be a computer company. Exxon bought Zilog and others in 1981, planning a computer empire rivaling IBM. The plan failed, costing Exxon a billion $.
