So close... Please help me to finish my bachelor thesis and answer some questions about your #agile #retrospective: soscisurvey.de/retrospective… Attending teams (5+ people) get a free summary report to develop their #retro further! #survey #SoftwareEngineering #SharingIsCaring
Hey Twitter, it's been a while. Came here to tell you about a thing I made over the weekend. It's a Water Sort Puzzle solver – the first A* algorithm I implemented since uni. kthxbye github.com/octo/watersort

Just merged "metric.h" into the @collectd 6 branch, providing "metric_t" and "metric_family_t". These data structures are the foundation of the ongoing metric label work. github.com/collectd/collectd…

Made some progress on @collectd version 6 today: collectd.org/3507 removes the "absolute" metric type. These were counters that get reset to zero when read, which isn't really a thing. Will be adding the metric_t and metric_family_t types next.

AI is full of promise, with the potential to revolutionize so many different areas of modern society. In order to realize its true potential, our field needs to be welcoming to all people. As it stands today, it is definitely not. Our field has a problem with inclusiveness.

Is there a tool to mass-migrate @Github pull requests to a different branch? I want to update 100+ pull requests so they use "main" as the base branch, instead of "master".

I've spent some time over the last few weeks implementing #OpenMetrics in #collectd. This allows to add an arbitrary number of labels to a metric, instead of the previous host/plugin/type tuple. The picture shows labelled CPU metrics in the Cloud Monitoring metrics explorer.

Die #Kohle hat 2020 nicht mal mehr 20% des deutschen Strombedarfs gedeckt. Warum in aller Welt wollen wir #Kohlekraftwerke bis 2038 laufen lassen und dafür auch noch Entschädigungen zahlen? Ein #Kohleausstieg bis 2030 ist technisch und ökonomisch realisierbar. @energy_charts

Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat gestern festgestellt, dass diese Aussage nicht auf der Website des Innenministeriums stehen darf. Bei uns schon. Genau wie der Rest. Unsere Titelseite am Mittwoch.
