@nyhan Why? Just why?

Conference organisers and presenters:

Have you ever been asked to send in your slides days in advance?

And if yes, what was the reason for it?

@sundogplanets Anything can be mansplained if you try hard enough.

—Guys, actually

@mees @futurebird 1 on 11 in this economy? 🥲

@futurebird Same as in German, apparently. 😁

@futurebird Dutch here. We have a word “kilometerstand” where “stand” roughly translate to current measurement.

When describing a car, we also say “it’s got x kilometer on the counter” (where counter is the instrument that measures total distance travelled). This is usually in a sales context.

@pikesley Sometimes preferable to the contents making you cry. 🥲

@campuscodi Hey @thomholwerda…

@rysiek They can cool down the planet with shareholder tears for all I care.

Excellent point raised by @hamatti (as usual):

Conference halls, a mass of guests on a single wifi (or 5G, because conference wifi is an attack vector), all loading the event programme in between talks.

Static sites are great for situations like this.

My newest article is out on the blog, and it's more philosophy than tech this time.

@slightlyoff @fugueish NB. While my previous point may sound humorous, I would like to stress that I am not amused by this reality at all.

@slightlyoff @fugueish We should replace the “Can it run DOOM?” benchmark with “Can it render a React website?”

@Gina Might I add to this, with regards to catering to female consumers:

Make hardware smaller.

To generalize:

Hardware and furniture are often designed with male proportions in mind, resulting in designs that are too large for women. (Think large hands, broad shoulders, tall backs).

(Also, let's hope no one tells 'em about the "pink tax" once they do decide that women are a legitimate customer base.)

@Gina Ik heb net teveel ervaring met DB om op de 10:00-uur-trein te vertrouwen.

@Gina Do you have to take paracetamol as well, or just wing it?
