one thing i am really grateful for and proud of is being able to say “so and so is good people”or “so and so is bad people” and folks believe me, cuz i have always carried myself w authenticity & integrity. the ti seal of approval in tech for good & bad people is apparently a thing,so i’ve been told

it’s not that i don’t sleep at the right time it’s that ppl i need to talk to all live in diff timezones bleh

“An immense and indispensable advantage of history – or poetry – is that it continually presents to us many other possible human ways of being, which might have different arrangements, communication, and patterns.”

in brief: heroku has adopted a sustaining engineering model i.e. gone into maintenance mode. this was widely interpreted as heroku is over, though that is not strictly true

thanks @johnathan.org for letting me know i was featured on rubyweekly.com/issues/787 as the "not strictly true" link. some hackernews readers were like "but u didnt elaborate on y it's not dead u just talked a lot about what happened". mebe i should have titled it "what happened at heroku"

Marc Benioff 'Jokes' ICE Is Watching Salesforce Employees Who Traveled to the U.S. "Employees are going absolutely apeshit in internal Slack about how completely awful it was."

i could surely make a post that goes "here are 10 reasons you should not get off Heroku just yet" but i feel very unmotivated to do so, after marc benioff said what he said www.404media.co/marc-benioff... what i care about is all the work generations of ppl worked on and the ppl still there

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4698... i asked colleague to help post this to hacker news then proceeded to forget about it for two days (and got myself deeply embroiled in school event planning shennanigans...). came back read the comments and found myself wondering whether i should write a follow up

it's not a tweet about my parent, it's a tweet as a parent talking to other parents <_>

extremely unwise to reveal ur security fall backs, just like elon _shrug_

it's easier to talk about decolonization with enlightened white folks who are aware than it is to talk about it with your own people with internalized stuffs (this has _nothing_ to do with tech this is not a subtweet this is a parent tweet)

imagine a world where the moon we used look at and admire with poeticisms and aesthetic aspirations, the moon we draw and paint and film, is suddenly the home of people we don't like

photo of still of film on tv blue toned, moon over water with hills(i think they are called hills?) on the side etc, it’s a very well executed shot

the camera work in this is gorgeous it elevates the film but it almost feels like this movie doesn’t deserve these gorgeous panoramic night time moon over water mountain shots

@barbs: There’s really a lot to it, I do research in hydrology specifically in water storage and river flow so lmk if you want me to go deeper but it’s a lot to explain in one comment. Basically one of the reasons major human societies are more of a new thing (in the timescale of human life) is because climate and the water cycle was extremely volatile (normal). Which is why ancient humans were mainly nomadic, with temporary camps and small groups, etc. Then we entered a rare period of climate stability (Holocene) were humans were able to start farming, making settlements, the population increases, etc. So throughout this time humans have created our systems based on this baseline. But now the water cycle is getting faster due to lots of reasons (mostly humans) and human demand cannot rely effectively on this new cycle pace. An example for why a faster water cycle isn’t good for modern human society is because there is more moisture in the air leading to heavier and faster rainfall. The ground struggles to absorb this type and water runs off instead of renewing a water storage source. The runoff can cause flooding and less ground water recharge. It’s one of the reasons why droughts and floods are so associated.
