Stagflation: Is that when Inflation goes for a long, lost weekend with its mates in Amsterdam or Prague?

No. It's when Sunak and The Tories miss their growth targets and their inflation target and we have a falling GDP at the same time as high inflation.

Just had a discussion that turned out to be quite fun. Put on your demo coding hat and answer this question:

What's the fastest way to create a square root lookup table from scratch? That is, a table where the entry for '9' will result in '3'. Integers only, let's say the highest number you're interested in is 65535.

There is a special place in hell for people that deploy sites that a) don't let you paste your password and b) only tell you the requirements when you press submit (clearing the entry in the process)

Currently watching "The Man Who Fell To Earth" TV Series and thoroughly enjoying it. Wondering which well known actor is going to get the next bit part.

Irreversible climate change tipping point by 2030, eh? The ultimate tech fix leads to a higher peak of "business as normal", but then chaos and collapse.

Now, where have I heard that before.

I have mixed feelings about being followed by @lowqualityfacts .

Am I a source? :)

Had a really nice chat this morning with @alanz, a long-time polyglot developer tooling expert who – among many other things – has been a key contributor to Haskell IDE and refactoring tooling. He's a great example of the low-key open source heroes who tick along in the background using their time to make software development life more productive and enjoyable for us all. 💪

And now for the last one: I came up with an idea two days ago and announced it on /r/emacs. It's a colouring system for items in #dired #Emacs. Almost none of my programmer friends could figure out why I would want to colour files different, which is funny because I can't think of a perfect system which doesn't use colours like this.

But somebody made it for me and it's now available and it works great. 💖 Thank you Karthink!

I have some bonus time available next week, so if anyone would like a chat or even a free consultation, grab a slot via the link below!

If you have software career, project, or technical challenges/ideas, we can discuss them, or if you'd just like to meet a new person and nerd out about weird hobbies, that's fine too.
