I searched for all pointer dereferences in my C-based final year project (a long time ago…) with: grep -> *.c This was interpreted as search for <term input> and put the output in *.c files, truncating them all to 0. I was not using source control. The eMacs ~ files saved me
There are two types of people in this world: 1. Those who have deleted something important by accident 2. Those who haven't, yet.

This was my incoming fire a few days this week. Is everyone getting this? How is it possible that AT&T is allowing this on their network? If you are experiencing this and have an iPhone, the “Silence Unknown Callers” setting is your friend.

We’ve been working on source control at scale here in Meta for more than a decade. Today we open sourced key aspects of that work. I think this is simply excellent engineering. I strongly recommend reading the blog post.
Let’s talk about source control: We’ve open-sourced #Sapling, a new Git-compatible source control client that scales to the largest repositories in the world. We’re looking to raise the bar for #sourcecontrol & we’re hoping you’ll join us. 1/2 https://t.co/J1uO3pwDYs

Heartiest congratulations to @soumithchintala and the entire @PyTorch community on this major step forward today
Big announcement: PyTorch Foundation! PyTorch has large core investments from many companies. So, we're creating a neutral foundation for securing assets and interests. Technical Governance is separate & secure in a Maintainer model. Here's more context: https://t.co/HmzQ3DXYpP

PyTorch has become central to the ML community since it’s inception six years ago, and is one of our most important Open Source projects here at Meta. I’m delighted that @PyTorch is moving to a Foundation today where it will be governed by the community. https://t.co/Aymo35pP62

PyTorch is moving to a new, independent PyTorch Foundation. The project will join the Linux Foundation with a diverse governing board composed of representatives from AMD, Amazon Web Services, Google...

I really enjoyed the linked article about Sleepycat and BerkeleyDB
The (oh-so-fascintating) history of BerkeleyDB (featuring @margo_seltzer and my friend, @mikeolson) https://t.co/vX0J2uLvIe

Fascinating history of Botswana and the imperial powers in Africa.
🥃 🧵 This is #Botswana, where all human life began. Today it is a stable, well-functioning democracy w/ the highest standard of living and lowest corruption in Africa. And the country likely wouldn’t exist without alcohol prohibition. A #LiquorThread. 🥃 🧵 1/

Interesting discussion about the JS-based implementation of the new Facebook www homepage. This was a very significant amount of work, and a phenomenal achievement by the team.
A case (study) for everything-in-JS: a thread Over the years, we developed tools to analyze, lint, optimize, transform, and codemod JS, but this left blind spots and a false assumption that everything else (CSS, icons, etc.) was comparatively “free”.

I’ve been following Bob for just a few days. His reports from the front line in SF are great.
Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 13 1/ Little new @ucsfhospitals, which is great news. Covid+ pts=14–stable (last 5d: 11->14->13->13->14). 9 in ICU, no change over past few days. Re: ICU, relatively few new pts coming into ICU, but not many pts leaving either (see #6 for more ICU)

@KirkwoodMTN now up to 1 hour 40 mins in line. Still a long way to go. You own staff are crying dealing with it. Astonishing fail.

Tip of the day, always leave your left shoe in the hotel safe before you go to sleep to avoid forgetting important documents!

These posts are really interesting for those of you interested in state management in React.
I've written a couple of blog posts on OneRef, a minimalist state management library I developed for my own React projects. There are two posts:

This is really cool. Phones seem to be thought of as purely a problem in schools. Here’s a different take.
Ten years ago I realized I did not enjoy confiscating student devices...a thread. #OntEd

I read through this earlier today. Really interesting. Rings true to me, at least for many US dept stores, but I’m far from an expert.
In 1985, US department stores took 14.5% of all retail spend. Last year they took 4.3%. The figure is still falling. The internet is often blamed for this. But the blunt truth is that US department stores just aren’t very good retailers. In fact, most of them are abysmal.

Useful discussion about Electron apps
(Thread) The Edge/Chromium announcement seems to have sparked a fresh round of the tedious pile-on of folks hating on Electron, this time lead by @SwiftOnSecurity and @gruber.
