Those following the US TikTok news might have missed @JimBethell amendment on international data transfer which would achieve the same thing, and is moving its way through the House of Lords.
It's time to stop the tsunami of personal data to unsafe countries. That's why I am tabling an amendment on cross-border data transfers. Before my fridge and my car start telling autocratic countries all my personal secrets. https://t.co/li0Pq7ABjR

NEW POST It's difficult to measure developer productivity, and conventional metrics are often lacking. Abi Noda and Tim Cochran begin a post explaining the role qualitative metrics can play. https://t.co/YVOYEzGfIL

Organizations should prioritize measuring developer productivity using data from humans, rather than data from systems.

I forgot to mention, tiny is built with TDD, using CppUTest and CppUMock. Nicely done use of mocks, which I generally discourage. Mocks are hidden in helper functions with BDD style names. Well done!
Embedded developers, check out the 'tiny' library. https://t.co/cii8AknuWq

一大早起来，看到群里有几个移民香港的高才在那嚷嚷，说什么香港人不说普通话，小孩过去上学，因为不懂粤语，成绩变差，应该在大力在香港推普什么什么的。我忍不住回怼了几句，大哥，你这是去移民，不是殖民。不要以为自己有几个臭钱，就要求香港改变自己的文化来迁就你。你自己不学粤语也就罢了，凭什

It's my birthday, and I feel like spreading the joy. Use code "cake" at checkout to get 50% off at https://t.co/af9CrmNKs4. Good for 24 hours, or until the grownups find out and stop me...

Today’s protest was a bad throwback to the 2019 Hong Kong protests: violence from pro-CCP thugs, phones with evidence were snatched and destroyed, activists were tailed by national-police-look-alike. Except they happened on American soil. A thread of what happened outside SFO:

"How coupled is this code?" I can't answer until I see what kind of changes you want to make. Code is coupled with respect to some changes & not to others. If you never change your database, then being potentially coupled to your database vendor isn't a problem.

Aro is a C compiler with the goal of providing fast compilation and low memory usage with good diagnostics, capable of preprocessing, parsing and semantically analyzing ~85% of standard C17.
Clang is being replaced by Aro (a C compiler written from scratch in Zig) for translate-c. This is exciting!

Pull requests are delayed integration.
Unpopular opinion: Pull requests are a terrible idea in almost all contexts. Focus on finishing things as a team instead of keeping everybody busy. Do code reviews in real-time through pairing or ensembling instead of blocking the flow of work waiting for a pull request review.
