@Beschizza Facebook has always loved Facebook more than anything else. Note that this is critically different than "loving the mission" or "loving the community".

@Pinboard the real "architect" of Trump's victory was Clinton ... and to some extent, Russia :(

@d_pisanu you're welcome

@meganmorrone @HenkPoley there is some precedent here, look up the "I am rich" app https://t.co/1VcZ77cJ0W

@aschuman this one cut to the bone

I originally read it as $5.99 per month, and thought, OK, we can try this for a month.

@JohnONolan I think it's kind of obvious that fallbacks are weaknesses? Like, does anyone really need to point this out?

@JohnONolan pretty sure Google doesn't allow fallbacks other than printed codes for its employees?

@orensegal @TheEconomist Lies are free, truth costs money https://t.co/gaSfNmv9P4

@jwz @JAY_STRAWHATsh Aw come on. Unix won.

@deadprogrammer You could just log in to Facebook

@chetfaliszek taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax collector!

@KevinSavetz @textfiles don't do it, you have so much to archive for

@jwz @Beschizza holy crap this is on the nose

@uxward @donttrythis yes -- this one fires faster at 8 rounds / sec. The nemesis fires 5 rounds / sec.

@patio11 basically the minute you start writing code, you've already failed

@patio11 I don't think you're thinking at a high enough level -- it shouldn't be required to dev at all these days. Just wire some lego blocks together, configure WordPress and plugins, or similar.

@DuckDuckGo that's.. kind of uncool

@scottwasson @WootingKB whyyyyy

@Pinboard @deanishe My solution to this problem is that there are no heroes, everyone is fatally flawed, just in ways you may not be able to see yet.

@Pinboard @deanishe I think this is because of your trip to the Antarctic? How else would you run into these people?

@Pinboard turns out people are complicated

@textfiles this is insane 🤪

@pamelafox Yo-yo!

@mathowie YOLO MAT HOWIE

@mathowie @tiffani @humanutility wow @tiffani that's awesome

@Beschizza NEVER FORGET NEVER SURRENDER

@susanthesquark I am contacting HR

@IainHull @dehora @triketora hell, picking "telling computers what to do" as a lifetime goal is a career limiting choice! cc @patio11 https://t.co/20QTwCFPjt

@RageousX kind of, but it's also unclear why borderline harassment inspiring reddits need to exist on _their_ servers

@cschrader @Pinboard @discourse hell is "reply all" on a mailing list, my friend ;)

@Pinboard @discourse Basically, a web forum, but with real time updates ala Slack, and integrated email reply/notification support.

@Pinboard why not a @discourse instance? people are loving the "reply all"?

@lizardbill "keratin talons"

@wingedpig stop burying bodies there

@chriscoyier @MaxCDN I'd recommend KeyCDN instead, it's what we use at Discourse after quite a bit of experimentation.

@Carnage4Life @johnwhegeman making it even more bizarre, infowars positions itself as entertainment, not news .. that is their legal defense against the Sandy Hook lawsuits as I understand it https://t.co/rlE0TiQGpo

@ben_a_adams @migueldeicaza @steveagrc dis·cord /ˈdiskôrd/ noun -- disagreement between people

@migueldeicaza @ben_a_adams @steveagrc this is a fail troll

@migueldeicaza @ben_a_adams @steveagrc Discord is about being angry. Discourse is about back-and-forth communication ;)

@migueldeicaza @steveagrc Discord has an iOS app https://t.co/izwuqVUhPq but I'm not sure why you're asking me about it

@kevindente SWEET JAYSUS BURN THAT HOUSE DOWN

the reason I ask is we have one 2017 iPad here that has kinda weird battery life, so I'm wondering if something is up with it

@textfiles https://t.co/txjg2OXUYt

@mohsen____ It's not random, however, you'll note that every system of rules that involves humans has some unavoidable variability. If you want no rules, try it on Quora and see if you like the results better.

@mohsen____ having any kind of standards other than "we accept everything you type in a box, unconditionally" will be considered unfair by someone

also the youtube videos for this OH MY GOD I'm dying https://t.co/TVWyS3kvLf

@mathowie 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒

@triketora if you want a master class in handling empathy and emotion.. have kids. They will absolutely p0wn you

@waxpancake @cabel The Valley of Meh

@mohsen____ I do 100% agree with you on that question, and I opened this meta topic https://t.co/sJL7qq0spu

@mohsen____ yes, Stack went through the same evolution. There are deleted or archived "funniest comment" and "funniest programmer cartoon" questions. It's fine to give up. Try Quora and see what you think.

@mohsen____ you're not even talking about Stack Overflow, though. This is a different site. My take on that stats question is that it's not a real, actual problem you faced, it's a "whee fun let's play with stats" type of thing.

@_alice_evans @DinaPomeranz this approach does *not* scale to hundreds of interactions. And that's what happens now that everyone is infinitely connected 24/7

@jdtangney @betsyphd you make a compelling point

@betsyphd I don't even wear clothes, I just douse myself in chemicals every morning

@mohsen____ Switch to Quora, they have no rules there; you can ask anything.

@adamauckland @danpiddy very cool!

@susanthesquark I feel like this may be the equivalent of the Junk Food Diet .. what's not to love?

@Supermathie better late than never!

@chetfaliszek https://t.co/XnPxTuTftP

@Supermathie Insane!

@Supermathie Yeah it can be hard to leave 2009 behind, I guess

@Supermathie I have several and they always worked after plugging them into a USB port in Windows 10. Note that the controller has firmware and it can be out of date, the usual way to do that is plug it into an Xbox one and it will prompt to update

@SparkyRobot @TadStones Also kinda love the automatic dimming rear view mirrors. Basically anything that automates driver busywork

@refi_64 Probably a smart idea in the long term

One interesting twist: I did get a ZenPad 3s for my mom (to keep her in the Google ecosystem) and it has a surprisingly obama-not-bad.gif MediaTek SoC that is only ~35% slower than the 2017 iPad in my testing

@dll0yd @kevinhooke @stevemconstrux Yes, yes .. all true, so let it be said, so let it be done!

@SparkyRobot @TadStones That said, backup cameras and side cameras are legit life changing. Also love automatic headlights that come on in the dark.

@ironicsans I was just thinking about this the other day!

@alsoicode I researched this and barrel break nitrogen is apparently the best pump model now?

@alsoicode I think you are right! From early 80s. Same model today with a few tweaks, and more plastic bits apparently

@deadprogrammer I just can’t get excited about airsoft

@deadprogrammer Airsoft is terrible though. Plastic bbs why bother

@seesharp Will you settle for sixth

@Carnage4Life Per @howtogeek online ads have already crashed so hard over the last four years that wirecutter style referrals are the only viable game in town.

@Carnage4Life Maybe but ads aren’t the product so that is a distorted product. If you build a product to attract and retain whales you will have a better product than one built to attract and retain big advertisers.

@Carnage4Life I am not following? Whales subsidizing everyone clearly works.

@isguyra @dustinteractive @StackOverflow If Glenn is asking other people to do all the work for him, and is unwilling to contribute any time of his own towards understanding or describing his problem, then he needs to go elsewhere.

@isguyra @dustinteractive @StackOverflow This usually stems from a misunderstanding — SO isn’t intended for absolute beginners, but practicing programmers who either currently have a job as a programmer, or could get one

@scottwasson What’s the most efficient 60w equivalent? So much waste heat

@eviltrout Most of season 2 is bad, but there are maybe 2-3 reasonable episodes. Season 1 is great

@joshmillard Solution: plasma cutting and metal

Also try signing up for https://t.co/EiBUQ5rWVb and using a long password of 20 plus chars. You will get a ton of spurious errors telling you complete nonsense until you make it much shorter (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

@rickmb Yes being born in 1600 would have completely sucked. I am sure people in 2300 will consider today as primitive and backwards as well.

@jgrb Oh but it is

@shanselman I was literally trying to just enter billing credit card info and could not figure out how to do it

How I will actually be remembered https://t.co/6zpUkxD1mp

@deadprogrammer I am sorry you are a heinous fish murderer

@Supermathie what are the teeth??

@sgrif that is a rough one, the end of toy story 3

@Beschizza I don't consider game journalism a real living wage.. or a real occupation in a lot of ways. Note date! https://t.co/zwbQAaDqHt

@yamthatiam an excellent point, let's find out! https://t.co/CaPLTKzh2F

Robot Odyssey story time. I indeed played a pirated version of this when I was a kid. I got to a point where I realized it was gonna be like.. a looooot of work to visually wire up ever more complex robots. So I bailed, and today I use a JS framework like everyone else. <FIN>

@johnolilly if you get a motherboard with semi-standard RGB light strip headers you can do internal stuff as well. Software controlled https://t.co/GxG486FScO

@johnolilly I've built a loooot of computers and what they've done here is quite remarkable. It's really well made and thought out, to boot.

@Pinboard @Scholten4Iowa Fuck Steve King's racism. I maxed out my donation for Iowa and gave $1k to the rest of the slate.
