My Twitter archive of December 2020

In October 2022 I left Twitter. This is my tweet archive for December 2020.

Tweets

• Somehow @TelenorNorge managed to not set up our internet access we ordered (and got confirmed) 3 weeks ago, it just stopped working today. No expecting to wait 49 minutes in the queue...
• Somebody needed to kick some tires to make this happen. Should be 2-3 business days until it's resolved...
• This is an important companion to our #nRF9160: the #PPK2 enables you to accurately measure the power consumption of your IoT device! https://t.co/1ncDpAVnek
• @wilgaard https://t.co/fIm4r9u0Sp
• Purchase 3 for my #pc2021 is the motherboard which is on sale today: 25% off brings it down to ... normal prices (like those you pay in the EU). Free shipping and 60-day return policy is nice, though. https://t.co/SDVcbfMQqK
• @RidingWolf There is an ITX Variant as well. But I decided to go for a regular midi tower, I don't have size constraints.
• This is great especially for us #serverless fans who use lambda for a lot of data transformation and event handling in #iot projects: billing is now 100x more granular! This will drive down costs significantly, many of the durations I observe are <100 ms https://t.co/xn77DPvnfZ
• You can follow my #adventofcode2020 solutions again here: https://t.co/pUyBM3ljcF
• @RidingWolf CSV ships to Belgium for €12,90: https://t.co/PxyOGnyfMe
• Happy to answer questions, if you are curious about something in there.
• Hello Elliot! 👋 https://t.co/tya0rhCJJf
• @secwonk311 @theTorfinnOlsen @NordicTweets @ImaginationTech Please remember to fill in our current customer survey, this will directly influence what we develop next: https://t.co/hmaVESk7PZ
• I've completed "Password Philosophy" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/CzhXVlMB6o #AdventOfCode https://t.co/hP0TN6eWyr
• @Ravetracer Ich habe nach einer Weile auf @NextDNS umgestellt, weil ich es auch mit den Smartphones benutzen kann und ich den RPi nicht mehr warten muss.
• Did I mention how much I like it? Querying historical data on the @bifravst web app (e.g. for temperature charts, positions) is now ~50 times faster and feels instant. https://t.co/wAxjPu8jbp
• Thank you @aboveandbeyond for spending 2.978 minutes with me this year on @Spotify. You are my #1. #2020Wrapped https://t.co/GUD9bp7mEG
• I think one of the misconceptions #newwork/#futureofwork brought us is that it's companies who have to change. Too few realize that it's not about adapting work to people but invest more in uncovering mismatches and including people in the decision around those mismatches.
• .@MicrosoftTeams can we please get this? https://t.co/vdyg0kA1Eq https://t.co/JRNZVhqHfL
• I just completed "Toboggan Trajectory" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/4eTuY0r7Dm #AdventOfCode https://t.co/nVXPCSqUSK
• I'm really excited to be mentoring 4 teams (of 50) from @apcrams as part of a three months @code_door and @IBMSkillsBuild bootcamp that teaches students how software can be used to tackle important problems. They will be focusing on natural disasters. This is going to be amazing! https://t.co/0uUYircDXw
• @MHanasand @apcrams @Code_Door @IBMSkillsBuild It's not that bad! We still have daylight from around 9 to 4 right now, the sun will be peeking over the hills from 11 to 14 ...
• @bbjuelz @slsoftworks @Ravetracer is this you?!
• @MHanasand @apcrams @Code_Door @IBMSkillsBuild There! https://t.co/Yxs2M3QUOw
• @emsuiko In english I use Alex Doe. In German "Alex" also works (as a short form of Alexander or Alexandra).
• It also runs Doom, so this is going to be a great base for exciting devices! https://t.co/yLLJBmd3gP https://t.co/72xyqmFo84
• @gr2m @skypackjs @npmjs How are versions locked?
• frontend/backend https://t.co/qOmYcqWUUd
• Friendly reminder that w3schools[.]com is a for-profit page that tries to sell scammy certifications to beginners, their samples are badly maintained, and outdated. https://t.co/Mdh6J8HgA9 is a much better starting point.
• Still waiting for the day my @NordicTweets colleagues come up with a BLE-based laser-tag prototype ... purely because it provides a fantastic test scenario, of course! #nrf5340 https://t.co/drUIocuueM
• I just completed "Passport Processing" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/JWwQxmnUBU #AdventOfCode https://t.co/ZHfeKz9bp4
• Yes, the chain #chainconversation format is really lovely, like a fishbowl, but you have a constant side-track which does not disturb the main conversation's flow. You can still join live here: https://t.co/mrvo2u3var https://t.co/xzWhnJOz7b
• Today I ordered the case for my #pc2021: the be quiet! 500 DX in ⬜ (I wanted it to fit the white furniture in our office). https://t.co/VWf72VKbbC the price is similar to EU pricing, and the lowest it has been for a while in Norway.
• I just completed "Binary Boarding" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/bZPeesgIZj #AdventOfCode https://t.co/5apHXeZwhQ
• And here is the refactored version: https://t.co/YA2hfI8m21
• Team Red-Green-Refactor! https://t.co/TDvq36UpPz
• We got online again today! Because the apartment changed its owner Telenor (the telco) needed to wait for the municipality to switch over the fiber connection's ownership to us. Because the city owns the physical infrastructure ... https://t.co/gQkS5A0WfT
• @lauralindal When I was learning drums, we would actually play this using wooden spoons (which I managed to destroy quite a number of): https://t.co/vqXEU8DMtB
• @lauralindal This one as well: https://t.co/WUMB78vWNX
• #NeverCharge ... Have you been to Scandinavia, @aptera_motors? https://t.co/3LgkTGyLLw
• What's a CfP? It's you first step to a major learning journey: public speaking. I explained how this works, here: https://t.co/PpojhMeuIy https://t.co/cIGcxvTzBK
• 11:00 and the sun is horizontal. #trondheim 🇳🇴 https://t.co/QfZEzFs6GF
• I just completed "Custom Customs" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/MOnTKN8gly #AdventOfCode https://t.co/kdKCjzuQoO
• @petkasp Thanks! This was a good example where you can split the problem in two smaller ones: parsing the group form entries (parseGroupList) and then collecting the answers in a form (collectAnswers), using the samples provided in the day's description. Then the solution combines those.
• The most unrealistic part of #adventofcode is that the samples provided always match what's in the real data. This is not how programming works ;-) However it can't be done differently for this kind of exercise. https://t.co/aJfJtdaSBz
• @maaretp This is one of the main ideas behind microservices, keep important data local to decrease coupling. https://t.co/KKdHUgaFtC https://t.co/FZAsQRqFn4
• @maaretp The source data needs to be available fully, because the source never knows how other services use that data. So some services might need to maintain a verbatim copy, others only subsets.
• Bonus points for using it for something that benefits those that do not have this privilege. https://t.co/pcmJ8GWP80
• @vicbergquist Pretty much not legal anywhere.
• I just completed "Handy Haversacks" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/771MB6SVBO #AdventOfCode https://t.co/dzWWmk1hh9
• @Ravetracer Ja, ist leider viel zu warm in Norwegen gerade. In Mittelnorwegen soll es jetzt die Woche schneien. https://t.co/v8kcOm77yk Hier in Trondheim ist erstmal nichts in Aussicht. https://t.co/JMd9qy4yGM
• @Ravetracer Ist im Rahmen, so war es letztes Jahr (Schneehöhe) https://t.co/WZm0TJQbAr
• I just completed "Handheld Halting" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/l8wnT6PMr6 #AdventOfCode https://t.co/CL1YWi0Aq2
• @porridgebrain @miskaknapek
• @AnnNat Sorry, it's really a bummer for many. But it's just one year...
• #smartvan now has a proper dashboard web app which shows the current temperature and the historical measures. Next up, connecting the Victron Energy battery monitor. https://t.co/DKbkrCFWQK
• I've completed "Encoding Error" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/hlt1twJEFZ #AdventOfCode https://t.co/5bJmGc78ZV
• @gazebo_c Auch super als Garderobe! https://t.co/PKsGMHaJF8
• @Mokhattab97 @Maggysche @EmmaBostian It's bullshit: the appearance of the person does not matter. Comments like this do not belong in tech content.
• @SiarheiStulba @Maggysche @Mokhattab97 @EmmaBostian Your neutral stance here is ignoring the impact comments like this have on content creators. It diminishes the effort they put into creating something valuable for a professional audience and reduces it to an aesthetically pleasing performance for the audience.
• @SiarheiStulba @Mokhattab97 I don't look at an example, but listen to the real reaction of the person receiving a specific comments. Listen more!
• @matteocollina @EmmaBostian Yes, because you will spend less time fighting certain nasty bugs in production.
• Uh, that should be interesting for @NordicTweets users ... https://t.co/7tqDY1haDD
• A patch ... software: #poll 📊
• @arturo182 Yeah, but this is specifically about the semantics of upgrade vs. update.
• Wanna have #WiFi with your #IoT? Tell us! https://t.co/hCBOysGHEk
• @SiarheiStulba @Mokhattab97 It is not OK to tell victims to "deal with it" instead of calling out the people who cause harm.
• I really like the ability to optionally add features to a REST API using AWS CDK. Here is a StepFunction definition that can be configured to query a lambda if present: https://t.co/XQDUrWYgrn I'm reminded of this because now I need to add it to Azure flavor of @bifravst.
• On Bifravst we use this for the Cell Geolocation resolution, which can optionally call a 3rd party API (in this case UnwiredLabs). All that's needed to turn this on or of is setting one parameter (the API key). https://t.co/WuvExtMqdZ
• This is super nice because it adds a tiny overhead (one hardcoded condition in a StepFunction) but makes plug-and-play features possible.
• @kotzendekrabbe *hugs* Here is a great read for you: https://t.co/lqJxzavtNs
• Code comments: https://t.co/YWBQLWSquu
• @stilkov https://t.co/diFMsQiJnr
• @imihalcea They could have just written // 42 ...
• I just completed "Seating System" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/ySgtRcle0e #AdventOfCode https://t.co/vDeOlheIzf
• I am mentoring students and I made a README for my office hour every week. I ask them for 4 things every week, because I think these are very important *for them*: 1. note progress 2. get clarity on goals 3. identify where you struggle 4. say thank you Here is the long version:
• README: Coaching Office Hours Each student should provide an individual small status update every week: 1. Describe one interesting thing you learned in the past week. 2. Upload one screenshot of your week's work progress. 3. Describe one thing you struggle with.
• 4. Write a virtual Kudo card (https://t.co/oUGWXUyos0) to a team member (you can do this privately if you like). Here is a template: https://t.co/97zIr93Sfc
• Each team should provide a written status update every week in Teams: 1. Describe the goals you were working towards this week and the progress you made towards them. 2. Describe the blockers you encounter. 3. Describe what you plan to work on next week.
• @Jen_BMJ :/ That sucks, especially that they do not bother to give feedback.
• Do you have experience with #JavaScript and #NodeJS as well as how to integrate different systems (like #CI and #CD) using #microservices to provide critical business insights? This #job is for you: https://t.co/lGL54WS60Q https://t.co/UrWhBo4nNV
• You will work on tools that help @NordicTweets deliver its amazing products! We cover relocation costs to #Norway (Trondheim or Oslo) through @OnboardNorway!
• @_vojam @NordicTweets @klemencic_nejc @institute_irnas Nice work! This is going to be very valuable when changing firmware and hardware over time, and then to be able to run the same tests automated to discover the changes.
• @_vojam @NordicTweets @klemencic_nejc @institute_irnas Uh, @wilgaard will be eager to hear about it!
• I've turned this into a blog post with some more context: https://t.co/2dsexD43eo https://t.co/ck2aGcfUtW
• @AmelieCornelis Thank you for sharing!
• I just completed "Rain Risk" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/FmwAu2Kfb4 #AdventOfCode https://t.co/oy6pd6THYa
• @vicbergquist Is this a subtweet for https://t.co/gYaD3CcoS4 ?
• @meikeco https://t.co/vN1TbIUacN
• WUT?! https://t.co/lMphu0BnrN https://t.co/mM3c4H0y0s
• @alesroubicek @fquednau I have an annoyingly slow create-react-app I will definitely try this next week.
• I just completed "Shuttle Search" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/EvJiJEqyeE #AdventOfCode https://t.co/4u4TUUHFsx
• @niondir Yes, see https://t.co/9WDwMUcZmb
• The first ASUS Radeon RX 6800 XT ROG Strix LC OC arrived today in #Norway and was sold within a minute or so ... for 11990 NOK (~1131 EUR), which is roughly more than twice what the card is worth relative to the RX 6800 XT MSRP and performance. #pc2021 https://t.co/FPUx4tMaEV
• @fquednau @alesroubicek I gave up after a while because I have dependencies which do not play well with esbuild's module loader ... some I could work around, but this is too much hassle to first get them to a pure "browserified" state ... e.g. aws-sdk, cognito, ... https://t.co/hsj0Xv5Hb1
• @alesroubicek @fquednau Well, if you build serverless apps there is no need to route request, when you can talk directly to IoT, Timestream, S3, DynamoDB etc. That's why I want it in the browser.
• I've added more context in this blog post: https://t.co/2dsexD43eo
• I just completed "Rambunctious Recitation" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/PZneGjg52H #AdventOfCode https://t.co/9WrqU0Zb9S Part 2 takes 5 minutes, which is probably a JavaScript thing. I tried to look for repeating numbers, but the list just keeps growing ...
• @spazierendenken What is your setup?
• @spazierendenken That would surprise me. IMAP/SMTP is a standard for reading/sending mails, but offers no way to control mail server filters/actions. That's always something provider/server specific. It's normal that you have to configure this outside of Outlook.
• Very nice, how the AWS CEO calls everyone involved in IT solutions "builders". #reInvent https://t.co/71dZf6wN86
• CloudShell should be nice helper for quick ops tasks when dealing with multiple accounts: https://t.co/AzOkLQIZB4
• @gr2m This is very language specific, there is no official AWS maintained way to publish application code to lambda, for them it's a zipfile on S3. Some work has been done in CDK around that: https://t.co/w9zVQn9v1b
• @gr2m Really depends on the complexity of the app. But basically you can ZIP a node project with all dependencies and upload that.
• @gr2m In production I use this approach: https://t.co/PTagFLpu0t
• @gr2m Some compile the code into a self-contained JS file. It's efficient if you have very few lambdas.
• First-class #TypeScript coming to version 3 of the AWS SDK: https://t.co/OH1iESd38k via @awscloud
• This was a great small fun set from the Foo Fighters: https://t.co/di5Lz0HaVZ
• This is a rare opportunity to join @NordicTweets in #Germany! We are hiring a Technical Sales Engineer: this is a very hands-on customer-facing role in a very interesting market! #job https://t.co/DQEgXCUhPr
• I just completed "Ticket Translation" - Day 16 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/hglBBuG4U3 #AdventOfCode I made the huge mistake of not filtering out the invalid tickets in step 2, so this cost me hours... and three approaches to get it solved. https://t.co/SCpkzZaKBr
• The WebThings #Iot Platform leaves Mozilla umbrella, now at https://t.co/Drt1XLy2Ye. https://t.co/9FR9ucUige
• @GunnarGrosch @deeheber @stackeryio @NordicTweets Welcome to the team, Danielle!
• I'm impressed with #Trondheim for quickly following mask rules in public spaces: they are now mandatory, and everyone puts it on in shops, shopping areas and buses. No big deal here.
• @BenjaminHilborn No protests worth mentioning here. You can check yourself on https://t.co/CUcoHuKDAK / https://t.co/fBdhVuI5kl / https://t.co/AtGRw5IQX8. Sweden sets a very bad example that many here don't want to repeat.
• @Ravetracer Damn, wir drücken die Daumen dass es ihr bald besser geht.
• Installed an AeroPress Lover's dream: hot water on tap. https://t.co/2cnslSMLr9
• Isn't this the deal we have with employers in IT? We give them something they need, and we get to learn something new in return? https://t.co/Js3SuakeVv
• @Morl99 The water is kept at 100°C. It has a 3 liter reservoir that's heated continually.
• @ste5eu Well, I don't think it will pay for itself (6000 NOK), because electricity is cheap in Norway, so the energy savings have to be considered from an ecological point of view. It reduces water usage as well. And it increases convenience.
• @ste5eu Not exactly. The reservoir has 3l, but it's highly insulated so the energy required to keep it hot is very low.
• @ste5eu Backend: It has the reservoir, plus an overflow valve and a water filter. So yes, it's a challenge to put this under your sink. https://t.co/NZxOK6hAhF
• Yes, please let us have a new standard book for software engineers from someone who is not a white, racist, misogynistic dude! https://t.co/g0I2eFIcMb
• @dtanzer Why don't I wan't what https://t.co/jf4FP5iAle proposes? Specifically why should developers not care how they design interactions between components? I guess you have a very good reason for that on your blog, but I couldn't find it.
• I just completed "Operation Order" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2020 https://t.co/YUEWe4fjLr #AdventOfCode https://t.co/ltry2ymhTD For step 2 I re-implemented my parser to tokenize the expression, but I ended up putting all additions in parenthesis before calculating it.
• @dtanzer Would love to do that! Let me know what works for you. Maybe others want to join, too...
• @username_ZAYDEK Will this build work in the browser, then?
• @alesroubicek @username_ZAYDEK Yes, I have that on the roadmap, so I'll give it a try after I've upgraded the web app to AWS SDK v3.
• Gotta love scientists who are all about the "feeling". https://t.co/kTdm0NOPiI
• #serverless makes this legal! https://t.co/GDqjt22nSs
• @fourthlettr @Singsalad @SoCraTes_UK There are very few board games that are fun with that many players. Among us is all the hype right now and works with 10: https://t.co/dc95rhaKOL - it's like Werewolf / Mafia which work with bigger groups. There is a way to play these online: https://t.co/r4xKs2IlGC
• Ensemble programming vs Sprint planning https://t.co/68KCq1LYyR
• Uh, this is really needed, especially for many small teams that do not have their own subsidiary in every country. #remote #futureofwork https://t.co/BOxECfQz5X
• Thanks to Corona today has been the first time I've been #whammed. https://t.co/Vl9ykzsk14
• Burn Your Backlog! 🙏 https://t.co/i5jF5tRbPW
• @terabaud You could at least return a cancelable one.
• We love getting input from our customers, and we invest a lot of effort into turning it into action, so, yes, thank you for reaching out and keep the feedback coming in 2021! 🎄 https://t.co/pnkv62LRVI
• I think it's easier to give an impression of ingenuity because backend code is hidden away doing some "magic", while Frontend code is much easier accessible to look at and tinker with. This turns backend developers into into something mystical, glorified. https://t.co/tuEa17FsJ8
• Spoiler: it's the shoveling shit with a fork kind of glorious.
• @lucianadrian Silos are always great, they let you focus on what interests you, and you don't need to care if the stuff you do is relevant. https://t.co/hekp93v9yO
• Dear Frontend Developers, don't get fooled by some random dude. There is an entire career to be made on building excellent frontends and it includes very demanding topics like usability, color theory, typography, motion/animation, accessibility, layout, screen design, ...
• localisation, which a backend developer never will have to worry about. And I am eternally grateful for every Frontend developer I've worked with who looked at this challenges and was like, "Yep, let's do it!" because this does not spark joy for me.
• Some people are just grumpy asshats who will diminish something just because it's something they can't wrap their simple minds around. The secret for any career in software is: following what you are curious about will guide you towards becoming a great engineer.
• There is enough to do to have experts on all facets of the software development lifecycle.
• 14:40. The Twitter app has already switched to Dark Mode. That's all you need to know about #Norway. https://t.co/qeF9CjksIy
• Uh, a Christmas Present? https://t.co/kC7GtLU9ri #brexit
• @alesroubicek @username_ZAYDEK I have a smaller side-project frontend app, and there AWS SDK v3 works good, however it also uses the AppSync library for the React UI components, and this fails ... https://t.co/ffSEzX6sN9

• Neat idea: an FPV flight to introduce first semesters who are starting virtually this year to their campus. https://t.co/Wa1CyBvSzZ https://t.co/BPwvNMvnU6
• @mattipaksula Exactly. https://t.co/8qBVLP8q0W
• @alex_schl 🤗🎄✨
• @nelisboucke @Ubiquiti At some point one gets too old for compromising on quality.
• @GirlsCodeMK @troubalex @wolframkriesing has a lot of that in his timeline.
• @GirlsCodeMK @troubalex @wolframkriesing Specifically https://t.co/Hf4PfP5Kje
• @GirlsCodeMK "how it really works" ... I wonder what your kind of understanding you are looking to achieve?
• @GirlsCodeMK Then definitely read the YDKJS books, it provides a very thorough explanation of whats happening that you most likely won't find anywhere else: https://t.co/jlifcy4RS4
• @GirlsCodeMK The first edition is also very good and since the fundamentals have not changed still very relevant: https://t.co/XMcVwDTJo1

• @MaritvanDijk77 @nicolefv My Stein? Ramm
• Unfortunately we had to cancel the 2021 @codefreeze_fi, so to get a little bit of that feeling we drove to Dovrefjell in #Norway where there is at least a little bit of snow ... https://t.co/L1uX78x3v6
• Uhhh, that sound. ❄️ https://t.co/2WCO9IYrFM
• @testinsideout @MaritvanDijk77 @nicolefv Close ;-) "Mein Stein"
• @RidingWolf I noticed that PSUs are also high on demand these days. And this one is pretty new, too.
• We did a 14 km snowshoe hike! Mostly on powder snow. 😍❄️ https://t.co/Xmhj7YJEnj
• @miskaknapek To you, too!
• @maaretp I guess because in most organizations as a developer you cannot hire more people. For me the article is clear that developers have a lot of autonomy within their team to work on bottlenecks (optimize for consistent flow), while management (the people who can invest cash) can
• @maaretp opt to increase flow by hiring more people.
• @maaretp I took that in this context a manager is a person who has the resources to hire.
• @maaretp I guess that's one of the points @mpoppendieck makes in this article: it needs an agile (or elastic) organisation for this to work properly, teams optimize within their bounds and the organisation scales by providing the right amount of teams.
• @pati_gallardo The Expanse? It's fantastic sci-fi.
• @pati_gallardo Hjem til Jul, it's cute! Uh, GLOW is hilarious.
• @maaretp @mpoppendieck Because a fully busy team is not able to optimize, so in this case you can't correlate what they are producing to be a good measure of their performance.
