One of our engineers made a PR at 3AM last night, with the description "Had a dream where delete action was miss-clicked instead of csvexport. So removing the option from action list. Prefer this dream to never come true"

folgende positionen scheinen über alle politischdn lager hinweg gleichzeitig konsensfähig gewordenzu sein:
a) die nachrichten sollten eine bloße erweiterung meines (!) social feeds darstellen

Das ist die außenpolitisch kritischste Phase, die die meisten von uns je erlebt haben. In den USA kippt die Demokratie, die NATO könnte jeden Tag zusammenbrechen. Und in den Medien wird das so ungefähr als mittelwichtig dargestellt. Warum keine täglichen Sondersendungen auf allen Kanälen?

When I started out in industry I never got why people start out in data science and pivot to doing just DevOps work. Cue two years later and I'm like "Maybe I should just pivot entirely to DevOps..."

Gotta love Scrum sprints where every two weeks one day before sprint end people say "Ah I don't think it makes sense to start a new story this close before sprint end" whereas if you did away with all the nonesense you'd just work on what needs to be done but sure Scrum increases efficiency right

A question to the men in my bubble who are no doubt usually around my age: how do you feel about going grey? Because I get absolutely excited at every grey beard hair I find. I'm so ready to be a silver fox, I cannot wait

Out of morbid curiosity, what was the biggest pain you've ever been in? For those who've given birth, maybe also name the second biggest pain because I am fairly sure childbirth is on an entirely different level altogether.

In Germany, every year on New Year's Eve they publish the results of the year-long survey of which city in Germany is the happiest. It is a long-standing tradition and without fail the city of Neuss always wins. That is why it is common to great the new year screaming "Frohes Neuss!"
Frohes Neuss.

Vorschlag zur Güte: der Länderfinanzausgleich bleibt bestehen, aber statt Transfer an die Landeshaushalte wird es pro Kopf ausgezahlt an die Bewohner der Nehmerländer und zwar auf blau-weißem Scheck mit Konterfei des bayerischen Ministerpräsidenten und Signatur "Euer Maggus"

And now for the end of the year I have seen someone unironically post the results of an online-IQ test on LinkedIn humblebragging about the result, that about covers it

Just finished "Wake Up Dead Man" which on my feed had recently received some rather mixed reviews. After watching it, I don't understand why. I felt this was a fantastic entry into the Knives Out series. The only thing I get is that people wanted more Benoit Blanc, but the film was grandiose!

One reason why I am fairly disinterested in most "AI": where tasks are analytically decomposable into a lot of simple tasks that can be addressed with if-else or other mathematical techniques, these methods will always be superior to e.g. LLMs etc.
