@Beschizza some VC who invested in swoopo had emailed me back then, and I recently mailed him just to rub his face in it some more. Fuck that guy.

@Beschizza the only time I did anything like this was the penny auction gambling sites https://t.co/1IHwubcZ8m -- swoopo is now dead, and I would happily piss on its corpse

@betsyphd I'm like 98% sure one time I saw Weird Al at that bar I used to bus for in Boulder on Pearl Street. I always regretted not approaching him. I mean who else looks like that, with the crazy hair and glasses?

@seesharp the future's so bright, you gotta install new firmware

@seesharp this will be an interesting set of culture clashes

@tqbf what the hell kind of crazytown conference are you talking about?

@siracusa @clattner_llvm Well, I can think of about 10 worse choices, so that's good!

@marcgravell @JasonPunyon @Nick_Craver This will be @jarrod_dixon's greatest legacy to the world

@wilshipley at least they got rid of this BS https://t.co/Pd6uYP5wRq

@marypcbuk @anildash And when you don’t know what you are building or what you stand for.. you get Reddit. Hard to bolt this on a decade later.

@marypcbuk @anildash I do think you need both, ultimately

@ianlandsman @patio11 Needs 8,000 more words to be a true patio11 post :)

@patio11 well, I do have this rule and I believe it's a good one (also applies to books, etc) https://t.co/y9tVniZPsd

@patio11 I do not remember this book being this good

@wilshipley are you learning to work the saxophone? Do you play just what you feel?

@tqbf As much as I despise ESR and everything he does, I have to admit you have turned lemons into lemonade here

@deadprogrammer it's quite good

@tqbf And you will say.. I was raised on the dairy! https://t.co/7mnn13QufZ

@jwz they hold them at gunpoint

@chagmed @lizardbill I think it's Little Ceasar, but their pizza is so crap. They primarily save costs by using cheap filler cheese.

@mike_hawkins @rands particularly good for OLED, we're back to "black screens save energy" now. Really.

@iajrz @tqbf (it doesn't result in a self mute, of course, that's how I would have coded it too. only others can trigger the phrase mute)

@iajrz @tqbf lol yes, I won't see any replies. but that is FINE BY ME

@Pinboard you are the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

@keburnell @elonmusk sort of, the lighter is kind of an interesting fidget hand item as well

@joshmillard hey can you DM me for a sec, I have a 🎁 for you

@mathowie @LenaWaithe what network is it on?

@patrickfitzg_o ok.. ok that's fair

@zofrex 'ELLLOOOO GUV'NOR!!!

@textfiles turns out he was the same character in Civil War so we're just stuck with the weird casting. Very very minor point though, overall the movie was 125% excellent

@textfiles pretty much this https://t.co/5JSLSi0mEb

@textfiles also I would have preferred almost literally anyone else cast into that particular role. Wherever will we find a generic white guy CIA agent character? WHERE?

@textfiles it was kinda fine in the way that someone would parody an American accent by trying their best to talk like a CNN anchor

@jones_martins This is true

@patio11 Well yeah but that also applies to BS crypto currency scams. That’s where the money is?

@itsjakerobb You rebel iconoclast you!

@mathowie It is good but it is no Three Billboards

@cshirky ooooo that doesn't sound good

@jwz couldn't @textfiles hook you up with a dazzle suit? He has many suits of technicolor splendor

@tobermatt more computers is more safety, that's all I'm saying

@tobermatt it's like if someone attacked someone with a computer, the clear solution is to give EVERYONE computers! Like 10 of them each!

@tobermatt even safer is browsing with the computer off

@pabloclavel 90s

@mathowie This tweet should be eligible for a Nobel Prize

@blakejharrisNYC sure awesome thanks ebook is fine! jatwood@codinghorror.com

@blakejharrisNYC I appreciate it but I can only do digital stuff these days. I hate atoms. I HATE THEM

@john_lam My bookshelf is lighted too! It's an LCD screen with a backlight :D

@SpeakingBee @tjsimmons I remember once in high school the english teacher said I used a semicolon wrongly. Then she read the sentence out loud with her preferred emphasis .. and said "OK, that one is correct" YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT WAS

@tjsimmons sorry that should have had a comma:

you definitely don't, trust me :)

@wingedpig if you're ever curious, but you shouldn't be, just ask @tqbf

@tjsimmons you definitely don't trust me

@tjsimmons Think initials of someone in the computer software industry

@tqbf yes thank god someone is around to show us how bad the bad people are because for a moment there I FUCKING FORGOT

@tqbf I feel like this constant ESR coverage is a version of you cutting yourself. It isn't a good look.

@paulcbetts @ModusJesus @mathowie gotta get dat data yo

@paulcbetts @ModusJesus @mathowie worth switching to Safari for a bit and see what happens. Safari is a great browser. And it is true that native (Edge/Safari) browsers do better on power usage on their respective OSes

@Frauenfelder what the heck??

@leighalexander @Beschizza oh man this show has some incredible bits, this one is also classic https://t.co/DFdARw0J4Y

@ftrain a classic

@Pinboard Is there a blog entry on this or an annotated presentation?

@patio11 "I write to help others and also to learn. As it turns out both are aided by getting folks to actually read the stuff." Namely -- you Must Be Entertaining

@hoorayfor3d @romero you'll need to ask @ID_AA_Carmack about the shorts, but the shirt alone is incredible

@mathowie @joshmillard yes, Twitter has ~thousands of employees so that's true

@mathowie @joshmillard it is a fair statement but Twitter is so many orders of magnitude larger. Big cities have much deeper problem sets

@davidcadrian @Pinboard @rmcgahen Doctors train for a decade and make life and death decisions about other humans on the regular. There are no clear paths here. Anyone telling you there is, is lying to themselves, and you.

@davidcadrian @Pinboard @rmcgahen Wake me up when I get an agent, as all those people would have agents. Very different things.

@davidcadrian @Pinboard @rmcgahen The history of rich fat and happy professions unionizing is basically nil. There is more value in recognizing that hey, maybe there are viable alternatives to every man woman and child on earth having a facebooks account

@Pinboard @rmcgahen And yet, tech unionizing is an option? There are literally zero practical alternatives to Facebook? So defeatist!

@joeherbers by far the best of all time! I see you have excellent taste sir 🧐

@waynehartman this is nuts I had no idea

@waynehartman citation for this?

@chetfaliszek there's a lot of entities slurping up phone numbers and 2 factor means I am giving it out a lot more than I want to

@Pinboard oh yeah they match like hell against your phone number, to find more "friends". I ran into this on a bogus test account I set up for developer / oauth reasons.

@sp4ceman bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin bustin

@tqbf Two I’s for a double dose of that pimpin’

@textfiles Manifestos gonna be manifestin'

@jeremycole alowd

@pleaseshutup alowd

@mormahr Yes we should all just intuitively know we love each other without ever saying a word about it

@JasonPunyon The actual title is “giant dumbass club”

@textfiles I will just leave this here https://t.co/5Gdfyh00Bv

@textfiles Would sure be nice

@textfiles Florida Man and Florida Woman will have some input on this

@tqbf Hmm, no. Incorrect. https://t.co/O2eN030Gyn

@joshmillard @conniptions Loss aversion is a hell of a drug

@mpjme @Cloud887 @smlpth @discourse You (or any hosted customer) can easily download the complete Postgres database at any time and analyze it however you like, of course

@mpjme @Cloud887 @smlpth @discourse We've definitely discussed it at length internally.. the risk is quite high.. 1 per second is 2.6 million per month. Bursting is also risky because it impacts shared hosting heavily. Standard is 100k pageviews/month.

@sorenbs using this now https://t.co/vfi5VHKxvA

@JasonPunyon @alvira_cholle SWEET JAYSUS (passes out)

@rory_blyth Hey I wanted to send you a little present via mail, can you DM me?

@sfonplsql To the death?

@mpjme @smlpth @discourse The records and correspondences I have in front of me right now .. rather otherwise. I suggest emailing team@discourse.org

@smlpth @mpjme @discourse You can email team@discourse.org if you have special API requirements. We had customers that accidentally DDoSed us with thousands of requests per second, and caused service interruptions for all.

@waxpancake @textfiles CHECKMATE MR. SCOTT

@textfiles But what if that extra cpu time could be used to archive webpages eh? WHAT THEN

@dharris it's more tolerable but he needed to know more people who died, honestly

@dharris PISTOLS AT DAWN, SIR.

@mathowie frenemies

@deathy yeah super bad for mobile, no doubt

@photomatt @theinformation aw man "enter your email to read the whole article".. frowning-face.gif
