Oh, as a topic wanderer myself (I don’t like the word “generalist”), I love and endorse this comic.

Рутрекеру уже 20 лет. Многие самые старые раздачи до сих пор живут и их можно скачать. И ещё через 20 лет, я думаю, будет то же самое. Мне кажется, есть два отличных способа хранить свои данные: высечь их в скале и сделать их интересными для других.

 @setiinstitute So theoretically, if I could rub millions of inflated balloons together at once I could create lightning? Блин, лента очень сильно забилась, списки не очень помогают. Надо что-то делать с подписками This sounds heavenly. "After they deliver wine and spirits from France to the U.S., the ships will travel to South America to pick up coffee to take back to Europe. Six more vessels are on order...."  @Edwin085 this plank really needs to stop being an absolute plank and learn to sleep  Please remember that Mastodon doesn't have a marketing team or budget. Whatever media coverage Mastodon gets is from inbound interest from journalists. The growth of the platform has been predominantly through word of mouth. If you want the fediverse to grow, tell your friends.

@Gargron If you want software developers work on open source software, tell your friends about them.  @Gargron I hope I will convince some new friends for the fediverse with @bjoernsta at #ScoopCamp! https://www.thenewsocial.de/das-fediverse-in-guter-gesellschaft/  Software doesn't need to be retired because it's no longer being developed. If it works it works. Software doesn't need to be rewritten in a new programming language either. @thedaemon But it is so much more secure in rust, because memory and stuff!!1!! :neocat_googly_drool: /j  🔍 Описание Фотография.

  Programmers fallacies about postcodes: I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

@xssfox in Germany there are streets where postcodes differ on the same street.  @xssfox   Not sure Tim Berners-Lee’s vision was to have 148 requests transfer 5.3 MB of assets to deliver 15 KB of text

  ...and disable basic browser navigation with half-assed javascript intercepting the user's clicks, then blame the end user for being backwards when the end user complains about this. @urlyman @jwildeboer while in the mean time consuming an inordinate amount of resources on your local computer… Tired of using your own tongue to test 9V batteries???

@rianvdm “topic wanderer” goes straight to my top 10 list of expressions I’ll use to describe myself from now on 🧡
@rianvdm @simondlr one word many people use for this is #multipotentialite , it’s a natural personality type that is just not seen as that much valuable in our culture but is essential for our society to move forward.

Excellent cartoon, witty and wise!
My alias here is The Roamer for a reason! Specialising on a particular field is important, it's necessary. But wandering around the whole landscape puts our specialism into context. It makes us better specialists.
