Not changing my sleep schedule. I was going to bed at midnight so now I'll be going to bed at 1. Your numbers are meaningless to me

broke: "the talk" is the one about sex and how babby is formed
woke: "the talk" is the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

The problem with Test-Driven Development is that you have to think about what you want the code to do before you write it. And that ruins the surprise.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

Rust 2024 edition is about to drop! Here are some of the new features they’re adding to the standard library:
- std::ops::Yeet is becoming stable! A better name could not be invented so we will be staying with Yeet.
- serde has become std::serde
- std::collections::Aquarium, a collection for holding multiple generic types. (It’s called Aquarium because it holds all your ::<>’s)
I'm going to continue building my website/blog today, but I feel there must be a better verb for it than building
We used to surf the web (complimentary), now we just search it (derogatory)
Do you Spin a WEBsite? is this anything? idk
