Branchless programming for code optimisation. @royvanrijn.com ‘s talk on processing a billion rows with Java is full of cool tricks. #yow25

A lot of what @jimwebber.org says is not things I’m going to write on the internet.

But #YOW25 attendees are getting a treat.

OMG, when did @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social get this feature?

I just hovered over a regex and got this super helpful explainer window. I've never seen this before

Yes!! My one holds guitar picks.

Ordered from ThinkGeek back in the day.

I few months ago I bought a kilo of pre-peeled garlic, chopped off the ends, and put it in the food processor. Then froze it in a ziploc bag with indentations to make it easy to break off. Each square is about 2 cloves worth. Did the same with a heap of ginger. This has been absolutely gamechanging.

Had my first go at #astrophotography last night. Was just outside my house so there’s a bit of light pollution. But it turned out ok I think.

And another. For those who prefer it black.

Sameera Gayan has an interesting anecdote about the engineers who were most against trunk based development became the biggest advocates once they had a mindset change about shipping the smallest possible changes. #yowtls2025
