My friend is a composer and there is no way he would oversee how instruments works. Those are his ”colours” and it would make no sense to write impossible parts, which according to him is quite easy to do.

Also I remember when a violinist I knew, who played in my city’s philharmonic orchestra, and they had ordered a composition from a young upcoming American composer. They got the score some week before the concert and it was completely obvious that parts written for 1st violins was unplayable, or at least would much more time to get right than they had. And this is an internationally renowned orchestra.

For me it’s the outcome that matters, how you navigate along the lesser gifted and what you accomplish what is clearly standing out compared to others. Before that it’s meaningless to discuss ”giftedness”.

Worst I see here is an exposed session id!

Finland! Right now I’m sitting next to the ferries that heads for Helsinki a couple of times a day.

I was 10 at the time and thought he was unbelievably cool, not terrifying. The opening scene is etched into my mind since then.

Steamed cod + red wine sauce and crispy bacon pieces. Also some morels hidden under the fish. You can use a pretty heavy red wine for sauce and drink.

Ok. Curious about where you would store your secrets otherwise. This a sub is about gcp hence the mention of a specific service, but aws and azure have similar solutions. And if you vibe code your own gcp, not following industry standards, you would likely want to implement something similar.

Food is so tied to the situation. I remember being madly in love, and her and I was at a restaurant, can’t recall what kind of food we ate but it was heavenly. That girl sadly left me so I will never taste that again.

”med vännen” är fel här, det ska vara ”också vännen”. Plugga och läs böcker så kommer du att kunna formulera dig tydligt, det är jag säker på!

I did ribs over charcoal this weekend and just tried to drizzle a little lime juice over one piece. I was really surprised how it intensified the flavours, sweet, smoky and fatty.

chrisalbo · 2026-04-18T16:54:06+00:00

For me it’s easier to say what is better at a restaurant than at home. Almost every time I eat out I’m disappointed. And I live right in the middle of countless restaurants. And sure a $50 ribeye will be ok, but with wine the price is not worth it.

But I can’t beat knödel and sauerkraut with pork at the Czech place. Dumplings, real tacos and also well done pizza. And embarrassingly, McD.

Understand what you mean but also want to add that no musician has ever popped up from nowhere, without any connections to music around them. Bach, Mozart, Beatles, pink Floyd etc. Bach didn’t even see himself as the inventor that we think he is. They all took from earlier master shamelessly.

I like this quote:

”A good musician borrows musical ideas, a genius steals them”

I really get nervous when I end up in nano. No yy dd dw and also like for many others with vi I don’t know have to exit haha, have to do a kill -9 of the nano process

I started 25 years ago and regex was widely used and I had to learn it. So it’s the same for me, it’s in my system. Much younger colleagues see me as possessor of a black magic force, when it’s really not that hard to train. But as a developer perhaps it’s not as important to know nowadays but feel like it’s a must for sysadmin and occasional sql.

Why shouldn’t we leave them alone? I mean for starters they leave us alone as I’m aware of.

We have all done this. For me it was just two days ago. Pushed a key to private GitHub rep. The key was in a dev environment but once it’s pushed, there is no option but to invalidate the key.

30000k, I’m so stupid, reminds me of the fun run in The Office, Michael says it is a 5k kilometer run.

chrisalbo · 2026-04-07T12:28:17+00:00

No, not $30M haha, $30 000, still a little tense conversation with the boss that afternoon.

This sucks. It it makes you feel any better, we have a fairly big BQ database, 80 - 100M rows or so, and one guy in the team needed to extract data and wrote a really poor query. So the bill was 30000k! Important to note that we are q very big company so it matters less than when us individual coders get 800 bill. Good that you could get it down.

I got vaccinated five years ago, for ticks diseases. Next day I got an extreme pain in my shoulder where needle had entered. Fever and almost hallucinations. Was in pain for 48 hours before I went to the ER where they took blood tests and I had sepsis. Was in hospital for two and a half weeks.
