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.

ssh lacks an argv type invocation packet IIRC, so there's quoting hell going on too

In an evermore international world, it's becoming more and more necessary. Please do consider it seriously.

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/j…

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?

Not sure I want to wait for an amazon delivery, but then again I lack flour as yet, so thank you!

Sourdoughing friends -- do you have a favoured "beginner's guide" you could point me at?

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.

This is pretty damned awesome stuff.
2019: stable async/await for writing #rustlang web servers 2020: stable no_std async/await for writing #embedded USB devices? (I think Twitter is going to auto-loop this video but you probably want to pause it near the end to read logs)

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 $.

Last night my dreams included a kind of trail run which involved climbing down a wall of a theatre with smoke machine, running through knee-deep warm water where I kept losing and re-finding my shoes, and meeting tom scott and him congratulating me on pronouncing Γ…land properly.
