@Edent@mastodon.social Catania, Sicily. Bus from the airport has a sticker that implies you can tap to pay, but, no, you have to get a paper ticket from the office (multiple providers) and then the driver scans your ticket.

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster @fsphil@mastodon.social @revk@toot.me.uk I got my optician to make up a pair of glasses with the prescription cranked up a couple of notches. Great for close work, appalling for even reading distance.

Explaining the joke:
It's referring to the fact that idiomatic Go requires you to scatter your code with if err != nil {.
Whereas in idiomatic Erlang, you don't bother. You just implement the happy path and "let it crash" otherwise.

@RonJeffries@mastodon.social @onorio@mastodon.acm.org the company I work for has drunk the koolaid. I refuse to. My current manager knows I refuse to. I'm just hoping to get a little closer to retirement before the higher-ups try forcing me to, 'cos at that point, I'm out.
A friend of mine is having a "musical theatre"-themed birthday party later this year.
As a balding white man who (in *my* mind at least) still looks good in a dark suit, I've got a request...
People, you've got until September to write, produce and perform a #HitmanWOA -themed musical, so that I can go as Agent 47.
I did another 5K in the local park this morning. 34m50. Slowly improving.

@MMusselwhite@tech.lgbt @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I've used a Firewire connection between two computers for Windows kernel driver debugging.
Definitely works.
But maybe with this particular board... It is not possible.

@attoparsec I originally joked that his obsession with Mars was just because he wanted to go home.
Now I'm thinking that his obsession with causing Kessler Syndrome is because he found out he's just as popular on his home planet as on Earth, and he wants to prevent them from coming after him here.
Watching Traitors India on BBC 3. Might have found my new favourite thing.
Why am I suddenly getting emails from IFTTT about a device that "is still offline"?
That device has been offline (probably in landfill by now) for about 7 years at this point.
Good thing: I voted this morning. Bad thing: I didn't see any dogs at the polling station.

@i0null@infosec.exchange I once saw a guy get his lift pass revoked for trying that move at the bottom of (iirc) Whistler-Blackcomb.
He got a remarkably long way on the paving outside the bar (to the detriment of his board, most likely), but the staff were *not* impressed...
