found a weird sugar daddy scam on X. when one of your replies contains “sugar daddy", you instantly get engagement from bots. they all claim to be a sugar daddy looking for a sugar baby and have telegram links in bio. i wonder how the scam works 🤔

Zcash founder coming out as trans was not on my bingo card

He said the quiet part out loud

game dev takes one look at web dev and has better insight than 99% of web devs. many such cases. web devs are not interested in deeply understanding anything at all. that's the psychology underlying all our problems.

I entered my home radon chamber and powered myself with 15 mSv of radiation. Felt a cellular buzz and a tinge of nausea - the perfect dose. Regulators don't want me to tell you this but it's how I spend every morning. My chamber uses uranium ore sourced from a nearby quarry. Uranium ore is easily accessible in Australia. My chamber is sealed away in a ventilated basement unit. I have monitors so I can administer a precise doses. Some this is reckless, I say it's science-backed hormesis. Low doses trigger body's repair systems. The body fixes DNA, cleans up dead cells via apoptosis, and triggers an immune response. Take nuclear shipyard workers: exposed to around 20 mSv/year, they show 20-50% lower overall mortality from cancers compared to non-exposed peers, per decades of studies. Or Ramsar, Iran. People living there absorb 260 mSv annually from natural hot springs, yet display fewer DNA breaks than any other population. Regulators push the Linear No-Threshold model, claiming every tiny ray harms linearly from zero. But biology proves thresholds exist. Nobody has ever suffered long-term consequences from an acute 100 mSv dose. So why does the government keep telling you that all radiation is dangerous? 1. Fear keeps nuclear power down. Big windmill doesn't want to compete with nuclear power. 2. Fear keeps profits up for drug companies who peddle cancer treatments over nature's free preventive exposure. I'm finishing up a blueprint for a home radon chamber - releasing it on X soon.

React devs have collectively forgotten how to call fetch. Someone moved our React codebase to tanstack - not to solve a problem, just because "this is modern React". Now we spend time figuring out the right options to pass into tanstack instead of building software.

>remove features >software gets better many such cases

my first dedicated hater. proudest moment of my brief 𝕏 career. i guess i'm somebody now.

You can just build things. So I built a graph explorer UI. 560 lines of JS, 16 KB, web components, no libraries, no backend. Currently using the Wikipedia API as a placeholder. You click on a page and it loads 3 random linked pages. What should I do with this thingy?

wHatS a GooD dAtaBasE I store all my data in Redis and if my cluster goes down then I'm going to kill myself. That's my disaster recovery plan.

You can't reply with ci*****er on X. It immediately removes your post. I guess Elon does not like being called a ci*****er.

Destroy dead feature flags with this one weird trick. “Write a test that fails if the flag still exists after x date.”

Late-stage React

The world started healing right about when women started saying “beta”
