@gknauss yes, I got one of those too and delivered @betsyphd hers yesterday 🤣

@dougedey 8 bit tees! https://t.co/fmLS1pWYRr

@specwill @samabuelsamid @ID_AA_Carmack if you can pay for it and receive the service, is how I personally judge it?

@benedictevans @ID_AA_Carmack L5 in at least one major US city is how it should read, to me. That's enough.

@migueldeicaza @JosephHill Here's to more monkey business! 🙈🙉🙊🐵🐒

@siracusa does it work on Apple TV? That's the context

This one in particular is soooo strange to my eye. But yeah. It’s a video. https://t.co/o4Kn9g67vT

@scunliffe as I mentioned before, if we have 99% self-driving I'm not going to rules-lawyer myself a win. If the only blocker is legal, that still counts as a win for @ID_AA_Carmack

@susanthesquark @MaryLynnRajskub yeah @betsyphd and I started this last night and it's amazing so far. The casting alone is (chef's kiss)

@ID_AA_Carmack @ChrisGr93091552 we could possibly classify "someone suddenly runs into the street waving their arms frantically" as an emergency. If we have 99% success, I'm not eager to rules-lawyer myself into winning..

@chrisbrandow It's from https://t.co/SdTUgQJXf1 -- I should have cited it apologies!

@abnyn1 https://t.co/oVBP4nEKfY

@PragmaticAndy @allenholub @abnyn1 @yegor256 @apaipi @gregyoung @Pim_de_Morree thanks for bringing it to my attention. I've also emailed and politely requested that the podcast I was in be removed.

after one month, I've cancelled Twitter Blue. I don't see enough (or.. any.. honestly?) reasons to pay for that. If it was ad-free I'd do it in a heartbeat though!

@paulg @JohnDCook but then you have to deal with all the employees!

@mladenny Sorry for the "boomer screenshot" 🤣

@Sietcetera maybe? I'd need to google it but it looks probable

@vyedin @IlvesToomas lots of different hardware but mooooostly Qualcomm in practice, sadly 😭

@lexfridman it certainly beats the alternatives

@pomeranian99 widescreen makes some things kinda inevitable over time; it is the opposite of mobile which is tallscreen tho

@heartpunkk @cherthedev anyway, I'm *not* a fan of whiteboard programming, but I don't consider FizzBuzz whiteboard programming. I consider it showing them a truck cab and asking "can you kindly show me the steering wheel and pedals?"

If you're looking for places to send money / effort to help Ukraine, the former organizer of Fwdays, someone I met and trust, mailed me this link: https://t.co/o2qWhkENct

@Carnage4Life if you watch the (very, VERY boring) recent Zuckerberg interview with Lex Fridman, Zuck specifically says that from 2015 onward, GPUs/AI made it possible to implement some form of basic automated moderation at scale. So there is "vetting", but it depends on a lot of variables..

@sarahjeong it does, but only via texts

@heartpunkk @cherthedev what's amazing is that PEOPLE FAIL THIS CHECK. That still, to this day, blows my mind. They come in for a truck driving interview and cannot tell you where the steering wheel is, or where the brake pedal is.

@heartpunkk @cherthedev that's not a test, that's more like "ok, you want to drive a truck. Can you show me where the steering wheel and brake pedal are?". I'm *NOT* a fan of whiteboard programming tests.

here's the Apple //c unboxing experience 🤩 https://t.co/zC58c3PK8K

@joeherbers Our //c had the serial port bug! Stuff came through garbled until we got the mainboard replaced as I recall...

oddly enough no built in *disk* diagnostic in Chrome OS (yet), which seems like a missing piece

@yellow_hand1 to clarify, it should have added "interference" to the end of that quote block. The people, we have no problem with!

@netdpb https://t.co/9p1MfcDsmv

@storresi @martinbean oh yeah, that never happens https://t.co/hllYz3p6Tp

@Carnage4Life basically this: https://t.co/r1FkHb6Efd

@jwz @MachinePix this is from the @exploratorium ! I recognize it

@Carnage4Life this one I actually support. Crypto is supposed to be immune to all outside influence, at least, that's one of the core tenets, right?

@deadprogrammer @rands True story, I own one of these just for fun. They are fun.

@martinbean many (most?) programming languages were designed by accomplished computer scientists with decades of experience.

@martinbean It is interesting how defensive people get about this topic. I wonder why that is? 🤔

@LupusMichaelis yeah it says the data is a little loose, and it is, but it's enough for a broad consensus that cats are surprisingly spry little beasts in the air..

@rands ok, gonna have to check this one out now. So much buzz.

@AlessandroLai @storresi @nathanielks @nightmare339 @rory_blyth @BrendanEich @ahejlsberg @errcraft That's *exactly* what I said, and what the article said. Writing a programming language is incredibly difficult.

@martinbean indeed, it is kind to advise people to not jump off a cliff! ;)

@AlessandroLai @storresi @nathanielks @nightmare339 @rory_blyth @BrendanEich @ahejlsberg @errcraft it really is that simple. If you ever see me attempting to create a programming language, this tweet will serve as my written permission to stop me by *any means necessary*.

@AlessandroLai @storresi @nathanielks @nightmare339 @rory_blyth @BrendanEich @ahejlsberg @errcraft TL;DR don't write a programming language. Do *anything* and *everything* you can to *avoid* writing a programming language. It should be a method of absolute last resort where you have no other choices (or, you are a famous computer scientist writing a better language, ala Go)

@AlessandroLai @storresi @nathanielks @nightmare339 @rory_blyth Javascript, C#, and Java were well designed languages from the outset, from widely respected and well established computer scientists (@BrendanEich, @ahejlsberg, and @errcraft)

@storresi @nathanielks @nightmare339 @AlessandroLai @rory_blyth It's bedrock fact that PHP was a very, *very* poorly designed language, because designing programming languages is quite difficult and requires deep computer science skills. Is it better today? I guess? But every language is better than it was 10 years ago.

@SergiyOsypchuk I haven't been at SO since 2011 .. you'd need to contact them

@migueldeicaza @jwz it's not all porn but it is .. borderline https://t.co/orB0XUCkHm

I was thoroughly impressed with Ukraine after visiting in 2019, now I'm ... *really* impressed. After they finish evicting unwanted visitors, I'm going back to celebrate and raise a glass in their honor 🍻

@jwz ok so.. I'm seeing.. lots of butts.. 😵‍💫

@danluu be sure to blog all this, it's fascinating!

@pomeranian99 Imagine how much better you'd be doing if you had published 216 stories instead!

Which also explains this video https://t.co/YXVTRu5B9B

@pashdown I would have sworn those two were 3d rendered. But looking *very* closely, they are indeed videos like the others. Nature is freaky!

@nathanielks @nightmare339 @AlessandroLai @rory_blyth Sometimes people don't like to hear the truth, because the truth hurts

@gknauss @sixfoot6 I love Arbys like I love hot dogs.. once a month it's great. More than that and it's way too much.

@sdbruder Pretty much! Those two both freak me out. The others are nice enough and clearly videos

@DouglasShieldo eh, I dunno. You can build on sand.. there are ways.. but you should avoid it whenever you can.

@urza_cc @lexfridman the topic came up in his last episode, check it out!

@DouglasShieldo JavaScript started several orders of magnitude ahead

@leonzandman It's just the two I showed that looked a bit off to me. The others are clearly videos.

@DouglasShieldo there's a long, storied history.. https://t.co/wYJaqQwDGH (2012) and https://t.co/TXZBjtoMRy (2008) .. history tends to repeat if we don't learn from it.

Ah yes I was wrong. This is the one I thought was a rendering but looking closer it is indeed a video https://t.co/kOJC3UmjYL

@splattne a glorious and appropriate gift!

@rory_blyth mostly the tide has turned on that, TBH. People realize PHP isn't a good choice.

@Twittbruck I suggest reading the comments or perhaps replying to the comments for a bit more nuance, as 280 chars ain't cuttin' the mustard

@Twittbruck pretty much, because https://t.co/NXLcZUC8QS

@LMFinneyCoder 🙏 the show isn't 100% accurate, but it is where it matters, and there are so many important lessons in that show. It's brilliant.

@lexfridman Agreed. And one way to help is to not amplify misinformation ;)

@kwiens @discourse if you need any help switching to Discourse don't hesitate to reach out! 🤝

@thepanta82 @discourse if it's working, I shouldn't need to

@pomeranian99 yeah a research notebook is a different thing; that's fair. But in my experience more is to be gained from letting go; people tend to naturally err too much on the side of collecting all the pokemon.

@pomeranian99 Never underestimate the power of recurrence. Great ideas are great *because* they bother you, they won't leave you alone, you keep seeing them in different places. And lesser ideas.. don't.

@Carnage4Life yeah, things are moving fast! hopefully in the correct direction.. 🤞

@pomeranian99 I am the complete opposite. If an idea is good, it will always, *always* bubble back up. And if it doesn't.. that's a lesson you have yet to discover, too.

@Carnage4Life I thought this was disproven as a hack of the account?

@castrojo @Bungie kinda glad my order doesn't arrive until later based on some of the lack of software polish

@CvX I'm pretty sure *some* of them are renderings, particularly the way the clouds reflect, and the lack of anti-aliasing on the edges. There are also quite a few videos mixed in and those are wayyyy less creepy. I'll post a video of the especially weird ones later.

@CvX Pretty sure this is 3D rendering Google Earth style. Some of them are videos and those are def better

@Carnage4Life It is so sad because there are *incredible* artists all over the world and we get this utter bullshit instead 🤦‍♀️

@Carnage4Life if *everyone* likes you, you probably aren't very interesting!

@dimitrov2k do a quick Google and find out ;)

@dimitrov2k it's the samsung 4k screen chromebook. Great machine but only so-so battery life due to thinness

@seesharp https://t.co/VTJq40yjhX

@kphillpotts https://t.co/VTJq40yjhX and https://t.co/Pol50gQ5fB

@MonicaCellio oh gosh that was a bonus when you ordered the stuffed version of the "This is fine" dog.. there's probably tons of etsy merch around that theme since it blew up

@bradkoehn https://t.co/VTJq40PUGx

@alt_tag email me! my email address is on the about page of my blog.. I'll send you some!

@pearsonified @jeremyross don't forget @eviltrout, it was us 3 to start! 🐟

@wm_j_kennedy https://t.co/VTJq40PUGx

@dave_air @Carnage4Life @CaseyNewton sure, random could work. It could also be time based, as in "no more than 1 post every 6 hours to keep room for others in the feed". Lots of interesting choices here.

@Carnage4Life @CaseyNewton #2 is a real problem. I have a few people I follow that I like a lot .. but they post so much it dominates my feed. I wish there was a "follow but only show posts with more than (x) likes" option.

@lexfridman can't wait to hear this one!

@Carnage4Life I can cite a dozen different sources with the same result. And when I was at Stack Overflow we did a "developer support" deal with them in 2010, with a very similar result... Facebook cares about one thing: Facebook.

@Carnage4Life you could argue "if it bleeds, it leads" has been a problem for a lot of media over history, but Facebook scaled it to unprecedented levels, and are (unfortunately) very technically competent.

@Carnage4Life https://t.co/wNHuRxPXmP

@Carnage4Life "This issue was raised by Facebook’s integrity team, which proposed changes to the algorithm that would suppress, rather than accelerate, animus between users. These solutions were struck down by Mark Zuckerberg, because he prioritised growing engagement above other objectives."
