My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.

Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.

Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'

If one creates an UnsafeMutableRawPointer using allocate() and then calls deallocate(), isn't the pointer pointing to now-arbitrary memory?

How does one safely "forget" the pointer? Only thing I can think of is making the UnsafeMutableRawPointer property optional so it can be set to nil after the deallocate() call.

Zero downtime migrations at Petabyte scale

Zero downtime migrations at petabyte scale — PlanetScale

Data migrations are a critical part of the database lifecycle, and are sometimes necessary for version upgrades, sharding, or moving to a new platform. In many cases, migrations are painful and error-prone. In this article, we walk through how migrations are performed at PlanetScale, and offer advice on how to improve the migration experience.

Oh boy. New government website has dropped.

"The site features a graphic of a ghostly horse galloping above the Earth, and the motto: “Information is power. Reclaim your human right to free expression. Get ready.”"

MDN describes the "maxlength" property on an HTML <input> as imposing a maximum number of "characters". Does "characters", in this context, refer to bytes, unicode codepoints, or unicode grapheme clusters?

My favorite IT help desk people

- documents steps for others
- remembers that a rare situation has happened before and it's able to look up what was done last time if it's the same thing
- able to handle a new situation BY READING THE INSTRUCTIONS

worth their freaking weight in gold.
