"a bug in that audit tool prevented it from properly stopping the command" Safety mechanisms have defects just like everything else. But defects in safety mechanisms have higher impact because they're inherently used in dangerous situations. engineering.fb.com/2021/10/0…

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp are all down, because it appears their whole BGP table got withdrawn from the internet. Because they host their own DNS servers, and those routes have disappeared, they can't bring the routers back up because they can't get into them remotely. 1/

People making jokes about the Facebook services going down make me sick. Anyone who was using an Oculus headset at the time is currently trapped in VR, and if they die there then they die in real life.

That question was asked and answered five decades ago. Read some of the classics.

For years, we’ve had a tradition that after being with @INNOQ for 10 years, you can do a three-month sabbatical. Now the first co-worker has had to ask what happens after 20 :)

People think code is like math, and that it's all about telling computers what to do. But in reality code is more like language, and its main purpose is telling *other humans* what you want the computers to do. Sometimes yourself in the future is "other humans."
What is the biggest misconception people have about the kind of work that you do?

For comparison, in Germany this would have cost me 0€, as would any other treatment. I pay about the highest public insurance rate possible, approx. 900€ ($ 1050 US) a month (which covers me and my immediate family). My employer would pay half of that if I weren’t self-employed

Für Rollstuhlplätze geht das leider leider nicht, weil darum. Danke @DB_Bahn 😘
Ob noch Radstellplätze in den Zügen verfügbar sind, wird jetzt direkt in der Verbindungsübersicht auf bahn.de angezeigt. Einfach Fahrradmitnahme in den Sucheinstellungen auswählen.

Let's play a game, twitter. Anyone outside of the US, or who's never had to deal with US insurance/medical bills. I went to the ER (A&E, for UK folks) b/c my doctor told me too, b/c it was after urgent cares had closed. I just got my first bill. Let's see how much it cost me. /
What a way to spend a Saturday night. (Probably fine, possibly not fine but with something there's an easy treatment for.)
