I’m a staff software engineer at Sunrun, the USA’s largest residential solar installer.

I mostly work with kotlin, but also java, python, ruby, javascript, typescript. My hobby is picking up new hobbies. Currently bird photography and camping.

  • You evidently had enough time to post elsewhere, so it’s not unreasonable to think you might’ve read my reply already.

    Evidently? Huh?

    How is the WP article showing misinformation? It basically boils down to “Israel alleged something and provided some evidence, but we think it’s not conclusive”. It does not show that Israel knowingly lied about anything, which is what you’re insinuating.

    The article is literally about how Israel claimed a bunch of things as complete truths and then every single thing they claimed was wrong.

    This has been the case for almost everything Israel has said until this point. They lied about hostages being raped, they lied about not going to bomb specific areas, they lied about certain areas being safe for Palestinians, they lied about only trying to kill hamas, and have killed over 20k civilians as a result, they lied about not actively trying to kill journalists. The list is endless. It’s perfectly clear that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and if you support that, I’m sorry but you’re absolutely evil.


  • Also cf is about the only way to make federation affordable and safe. If we didn’t use cf on programming.dev, the server charges per month would bankrupt me. I’m not getting nearly enough donations to cover the bandwidth costs for every single call, cf covers like 70% of the bandwidth for free just due to caching. And cf also allows you to block and report child porn, thus taking another burden off server administrators.

    People that think you shouldn’t use cf just do not understand what it takes to run an instance.

    Unix time fails to work for the ‘simple’ case of timezones entirely. It’s not meant for timezone based data and therefore unixtime in one timezone subtracted from unix time in another timezone will most likely give completely incorrect results. Even in the same timezone it will give incorrect results, see the ‘simple’ case of a country jumping across the international date line. Typically they skip entire days, none of which unix time will account for, as that would require not just time zone data, but location data as well.
