@lyse I just watched this. And whilst it's very good and insightful, good history of MySQL and how Martin helped built a good solid Open Source + Commercial model, I'm not seeing the "why people don’t wanna work at your company" bit? What am I missing? 🤔 In any case, he does talk to great length on the importance of Culture and the insane notion of "centrlaised office working", which I 100% agree with.

Tenho visto muitas vezes a estatística de que a idade média com que os jovens acedem pela primeira vez a conteúdo erótico é 11 anos.
Nas peças que tenho lido, está implícito que o autor acha que é demasiado cedo. Pessoalmente, acho curioso porque foi exactamente a idade em que me deparei com a primeira revista explícita no recreio da preparatória.
Por isso até me surpreende pela positiva essa estatística, as coisas não mudaram assim tanto quanto nos querem fazer crer

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well, just a very limited subset thereof:
- inline and multiline code blocks using single/double/triple backticks (but no code blocks with just indentation)
- markdown links using using
[text](url)
- markdown media links using
And that’s it. No bold, italics, lists, quotes, headlines, etc.
Just like mentions, plain URLs, markdown links and markdown media URLs are highlighted and available in the URLs View. They’re also colored differently, similarly to code segments.
I definitely should write some documentation and provide screenshots.
The tt URLs View now automatically selects the first URL that I probably are going to open. In decreasing order, the URL types are:
- markdown media URLs (images, videos, etc.)
- markdown or plaintext URLs
- subjects
- mentions
I might differentiate between mentions of subscribed and unsubscribed feeds in the future. The odds of opening a new feed over an already existing one are higher.
Trying to relax after the last working shift of the year. I’ve got a nice view of #SãoPaulo as the evening falls.

#Processing & #py5 tip:
Remember the shapes you put on draw() will be redrawn over and over, and if they don’t move (leaving a trail) you might want to either clean each frame with background(...), or stop the draw loop (noLoop() in Processing or no_loop() in py5), otherwise you kill the anti-aliasing of the lines :D
