Think about this the next time you're gonna tell a #infosec job seeker that the key to getting a job is showing "passion".

Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Hi folks who #studied a #CompSci degree, can you please tell me what #programming language you learnt in the first year?
#programmingLanguage #studyingComputing #java #python #C #procedural #oop #learning #education
@cmoz (closely followed with PDP11 assembler, Modula2 and C)
@cmoz Pascal. Java and Python did not exist back then.

Would you be okay with a fediverse-wide hashtag search (public posts only)?

Generational Poll. What generation are you? Please boost for more responses.
The system only allows me 4 options (sorry!).
Just let me say, all generations are great! 😀
This is just for fun and curiosity.

Happy 40th birthday internet! Who knew all this time later we would have misinformation everywhere and Elon trolling everyone on Twitter. That went well 😂 Happy new year!

If you and your company use #curl or libcurl, consider a support contract with me to get that smooth uninterrupted and optimized use of it.

Does anyone know if the guy who came up with the phrase, "One Hit Wonder," ever came up with any other phrases?

I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

@StefanoGaivota a more realistic* measure is - what orbit around our black-hole sun would result in 17532 time dilation:
A circular orbit with a radius of 4429.875114 m
(This precision is required because even 0.01mm change gives a vastly different result.)
Multi-domain single mastodon instance - I wonder if that’s possible?

I'm sure that Lastpass setting the delete account div to display: none was a perfectly coincidental defect

Things I had success doing when my city was spending zero dollars on bike infrastructure:
1. Creating & printing a bike map
2. Removing "No Bikes" signs
3. Installing public bike racks
4. Organizing cyclists
5. Planning bike lanes-- some got included in long-term plans
6. Convincing the city to ask the DOT for a "complete streets" approach on a state road
7. Putting "Complete Streets" in long term plans.

@StefanoGaivota if the sun was a black hole - the event horizon would be at a radius of 2953.2500765 m
To get a time dialation of 17532, you would need to be 0.01 mm above it.

Got a hypothetical question for #physics scholars and / or #scifi enthusiasts:
The characters in "Interstellar" discuss managing time dilation which makes 1 hour gravity affected time equivalent to 2 years of reference time. (that's a 1 : 17532 ratio!)
What is the gravitational field strength needed to cause such a time dilation ratio?
What would be the mechanical effects of such gravitational acceleration?
I attempted to make a calculation but the numbers made spreadsheet throw a conrod.
