@johnabs I think there is something to be gained from building new systems using languages that rule out certain classes of bug, but I wouldn't make rewriting software for fielded systems that have operated for decades my starting position if I were auditing a system for security and reliability.

@johnabs depends on your def of safety. and "cyber infrastructure". also, maybe they "seek" it, but do they "find" safety?

@mia is that supposed to render glxgears in my client? or is this one of those insider jokes

is this enough to continue anyway? probably! hasn't stopped me yet. what it does mean is that it'll end up much less ... elegant than having figured it out from the start

@basepair use of the drake meme seems backwards, like you don't want people to follow your talk but to decipher screenshots of the referenced material

@barefootstache I've always been confused as to why nano gets made the default I've vi for so many things, because I didn't think it was easier. only recently have I appreciated how much vim has warped my sensibilities--nano *actually* is a better default just for telling you the commands by default

@barefootstache perspective helps: assuming you have automated tests, just imagine how much worse it would be if you didn't!

tastes pretty good paired with some steamed white rice and greens, and flakes up well, but all the salt and fat is pretty intense. I'll have to have smaller portions in the future.

Since I took this picture three years ago, I'm more and more convinced that I'll never take a better one.
