Well, that’s interesting, there’s a timer on WhatsApp edits. I’d implement the same at their scale, have hot append-only data storage for recent messages and then move them to faster read-only storage by consolidation, but I don’t remember seeing that documented anywhere.

My hilariously overcomplicated Nuxt website/API combo is shitting all over my previous vanilla Vue.js and lightweight Hono/Chanfana API in terms of perf. 3,099ms median wallclock plays 543ms. No, I don't get it either. But I'll take it.

Everything that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth is bullshit, and that would be par for the course (well, not really, but). The thing that kills me is that it’s bullshit at EVERYONE’s expense, including his supporters. How do they respond? They just lick their lips and beg for more.

LEARN YOU A THING: GNU `find` edition You don't have to build regexes to get `find` to do what you want! It supports boolean operations as parameters. For example: `find ~ -iname meld -or -iname .meld` I know this would be simple, but it can rapidly get more complicated, and you can avoid it.

I would like to announce that Mags from THE GREATEST SHOW IN THE GALAXY (Sylvester McCoy) is a great big hottie. Every time I watch this (particularly weird) one, I come back to her. Crikey. #DoctorWho
