I predict this will be wildly successful. Just like that other famous metric of worker performance: lines of code.
Meta is about to start grading workers on their AI skills
Meta employee performance will be assessed by AI-driven impact starting in 2026, as the company prioritizes AI adoption across its workforce.

This is the future I dreamt of as a kid…
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Moving. Downgrading from full gigabit fiber to... Xfinity cable.

Can you even call copper a real internet connection these days?

@dashlane.com Where did the Friends & Family dashboard move to? It's not in the account menu. Also your support article for this is out of date.

Anyone know if @nativephp.com can be used with #ReactPHP? I've searched it but not uncovered anything.

Anyone interested in starting a cul-church?
I bought the domain

brainrot.church

a while back. I have no use for it now.

DM me your use case. Will transfer* it to you if your idea makes sense.

boost appreciated

*I own the domain. I don't know what transfer entails in terms of cost. For my part, I'm giving it away and don't want anything

The whole point of being an adult, and your spouse being out of town, is you get to eat whatever you want. Right?

Two centuries ago, people would travel days (round-trip) to talk to someone.

These days, most people consider real-time voice calls as one of the more annoying ways of communicating (incl. myself).

Inquiry for #PHP / #Laravel package maintainers. Do any of you choose not to use `strict_types` in your package? If so, is it a special use case, or something else?

While I don't generally play them, it feels like 4A's #Metro universe (esp before Exodus) is a wonderful opportunity for an extraction shooter which could have a lot of variety, and strong built-in lore for why players are venturing into danger.

Thinking closer to GTFO, than like.. Raiders.

Train travel is sexy. Pass it on.
"Train is the new private jet." Dua Lipa continues to promote taking the train over flying, boarding a Eurostar to London at Gare du Nord. This is climate-conscious messaging done right. Posted by lejeuneengage on IG.
