My experience is the inverse direction. As soon as you have a title like a doctorate, many people treat you as some kind of oracle that is infallible, and their own knowledge stops mattering. Obviously incorrect and highly annoying. twitter.com/natesilver538/…
This is not a subtweet of anyone in particular and it's going to annoy some people since I have a lot of PhD followers/friends and also I'm a stubborn guy myself but...on...

Sometimes you have to go in and get it during eternal Caturday.

Are we talking about people who have PhDs? My theory is that there is so much variation between every field, institution, department, and indeed individual advisor that to draw any sweeping conclusions about PhDs, even ones that seem trivially true, is to be a lazy thinker.
There's a deep irony to me that an online journal about farms, agriculture, livestock, and crops doesn't have any (RSS) feed coverage. (I'm looking at you @FarmJournal 😉) boffosocko.com/2020/10/15/557…
This story really got my blood boiling. hacks.mozilla.org/2020/10/to-ele… Their relatively small site took 10 minutes (!!) to build with Jekyll. They switched to 11ty, it took 3 seconds (!!). Well I just built it with @bridgetownrb, and it took…3 seconds. Here’s the proof! (thread 👇)

Welcome to Estonia, I registered for residency (and both "Estonian Tax Payer") status via email last year -- in fact I even remember sending the email from FOSDEM. 🤷 @_Phelan_ did it on the web b/c he's a big nerd (but also b/c now there's an English-speaking website for this)

but we couldn't get an appointment to register until after the brexit date. I was panicking, checking every day for cancelled appointments so we could get in earlier
Props to Dell Yount, who played B’Rat in a ep of ST:E, for updating his IMDB pic for the age of covid imdb.com/name/nm0950306/
🐦 Twitterverse! Can anyone recommend a high quality Japanese translation+subtitling service for our @RustFest Global talks? We will have 3 (pre-recorded) Japanese talks & want to have great (non-machine-translated) English subtitles for the rest of our audience. RT me maybe? 🤙
Did you know that you can submit to our CfP in your native language? We will organize translation so that your talk is accessible to others by English subtitles. We would...
This whole goddamned thread, read it, top to bottom.
I want to share an email thread I got today because I think we can learn something from it. I'll keep the persons details private of course. Also keep in mind there can b...

Season 3 of ST:E and I dislike Phlox’s new makeup, T’Pol’s new hair and the whole fucking Xindi thing .
I can’t believe it, but I may actually be ordering the “large” iPhone for the first time ever. I’m a sucker for the best camera. I think all of my time with photographers has broken my brain!

“Apple had been hiring top hackers for years, including several who used to hack for spy agencies in the US, UK, France, and other countries.”

I frequently think and observe (possibly with a level of envy?) at the cohesiveness of the platform (in most cases) in the Apple ecosystem. There’s some work right now in the FreeDesktop-land world that’s getting closer to this with the growth of Wayland - I remember reading something on the KDE planet about how it can be used with things like systemd to help make running graphical applications more secure (cgroups, restrictions, etc).

I really do hope that more work in the open space is being invested - we’re getting closer and closer to complete and absolute vendor lock-in with a lot of things and when things smack the world more, we’ll need some sort of an option. Neither Google, Microsoft or Apple can explicitly provide this (they’ve helped erect this new landscape for profit.

The DOM is slow. VDOM is fast. You need to write React components for fast web UIs. Web components failed, nobody uses them.
