@darksama yeah the cargo bike has that -- the spokes are quite a bit more reflective than the tires!

@Dysiode I know, right? it's such a lame thing to get excited about but every time I'm like daaaaamn, that's insanely reflective with even a tiny amount of light from any angle at all

@davegaeddert @discourse this is awesome, definitely gonna mention it in the upcoming Jan blog post where we cover the philosophy and document where we donated to!

@benjarom3 @discourse we have an upcoming blog post scheduled for January and we'll enumerate all our donations there, as well as encourage others to donate to open source projects they love as well 💝

@pux0r3 @GMouron a recent firmware update added the ability to loop GIFs on the SD card, but I can't find a web link for it, I only remember this because the app mentioned it in the on-screen release notes for that firmware update

@GMouron in the latest firmware (the app will update it), you can loop GIFs off the SD card natively. They are supporting it well, I've had 2-3 firmware updates already.

I have three of these Divoom Pixoo-64 displays now and I highly recommend them! I did have a dodgy SD card fail in one of 'em, popped in a new card, it auto-updated and is working fine again. You will want a 5v3a or better usb-c power supply though https://t.co/CYwn1FdtHl

@jlangr it's https://t.co/w171ZlcWLq now I think, they got acquired. I have used both though!

because I am a crack dealer, that's why https://t.co/2UAl3Cc7w1

@donw Yep have tweeted about one in the past

@redserpent @Pinboard @betsyphd Open the page in incognito or anonymous mode in your browser. That usually works. It is often part of the right click menu when you right click on a link (long tap on mobile)

I used this device to test a long, generic USB to lightning cable and saw iPhone charge power of 6-6.5w, compared with the official (much shorter) apple cable at 7.5w-8.5w.

@textfiles take it easy. Grift ain't going anywhere, there's plenty of time for debunking. No need to fight Brandolini's Law and lose.. again.

@JayHanlon it *is* hip to be square, dammit!

@cwodtke @SavedYouAClick @lauraklein agree!

@textfiles it's like the vinyl record version of a store sign

@taylonr @eventbrite @kylewelch thanks again to you both 🙇

@Pinboard @betsyphd “If there’s any period that matches our current period in terms of how terrible things were and how difficult things were, the 1960s were it,” https://t.co/xLUdFqZBJZ

@nanochess thank you!! I do plan to blog this before end of year!!

@modulusshift @mathowie same. I kept slowly increasing dose, started at 5mg, then 10mg (different day!), 20mg (different day!), etc etc up to 40mg, and I got super paranoid at 40mg. It's kinda terrible that TCH was so vilified when it's just.. meh.

@donw @mathowie it's ok-ish for sleep but no match for Ambien in that regard

@mathowie yeah I've tried CBD as well including incredibly high doses. No effect that I can tell. Be warned, however, that lots of CBD *will* cause a grapefruit effect, I can personally vouch for this and it was.. unpleasant https://t.co/bX7E0Nzzjt

@nedbat @jacobian is this even real? It sounds too crazy to be real.

@mathowie THC, for me, has been the most disappointing recreational drug ever. Almost no effect on me that I can tell and I've tried everything: vaping, edibles, tinctures, at all kinds of different doses..

@troldann I was just.. annoyed by HL2 most of the time. The incredibly brain-dead, repetitive combat.. the forced unskippable live cutscenes.. etc. It had a few moments but it is a highly flawed game.

@tomasradej or titanfall 2

@goran_aleksic heh https://t.co/hJkbjrBTMV

@code_and_beer and that's the whole point! 👏

@siziyman I wouldn't call once a month "that extreme", and there's plenty of precedent. Look up how Wordpress new hires get onboarded..

@Catharz yeah. I'm not so into crazy difficult games, and roguelikes where you die a ton with tiny progression (Hades) are a tough sell for me, personally.. although Hades is beautifully executed..

@matt_nuttall again: two very different classes of users here, but they both use the same app. Delivery people, who interact with the app in that manner (where do I go, what do I get, how am I doing, etc), and then there's the people who ordered the items.

@siziyman Not sure I agree; one of your most important classes of user is the delivery person. So being that person, and interacting with the app as a delivery person would, is quite relevant to anyone working at the company.

now compare a game where, every time you die.. (heavy sigh)

@simonw @Carnage4Life that's more of a chromebook victory, if you look at the data. I am a HUGE chromebook fan btw. My dream machine is Apple M1 Pro/max hardware in a chromebook with OLED screen 🤤

@pomeranian99 oh wow. faster than 2x is *quite* a trip, I bow to your expertise!

@ldmosquera @vgdunkey I remember it as an extremely flawed game, mainly because the moment to moment combat simply was *not fun* like HL1 was. It had its moments but that is an unforgivable flaw in my book.

@feartomorrow no -- hl1 had *amazing* combat. I remember looking forward to dying because I could try different strategies and it'd play out differently in combat. Not so with HL2.. quite the opposite :(

@Pinboard @chx @daveaitel narrator: he did have that kind of time.

@ldmosquera @vgdunkey and good lord the endless unskippable talky sections, ugh

@ldmosquera "it's a magic combination of generic weapons, brain dead AI, and really boring puzzles. Even on the hardest difficulty, the firefights are just repetitive and uninvolving and so easy." Compare HL1, where the combat was actually super sophisticated and interesting! cc @vgdunkey

@Carnage4Life to be fair, Apple (since Mac) has *always* been about ecosystem lock-in and hardware dongles to run OS X / iOS. It is their native habitat and why they kick so much ass at smartphones. As Bane said, "you merely adopted ecosystem lock-in. I was born in it, molded by it."

@daveaitel @Pinboard sort of; it's like "I want my reply on top of yours, because it's more important"

so this is called "smishing"? https://t.co/GGwFMvQ3v2

Especially because, like me, he realized that Half Life 2 is.. kiiiind of a terrible first person shooter? https://t.co/tpI9AdP8Ed

@eptil1 @pomeranian99 I click the gear immediately. I'm a fuckin' *engineer*, man!

@pomeranian99 yeah the only criticism is, it's one-size-fits all, and you need a medium to large face for it to seal properly.

@pomeranian99 why do you need a speed extension for speeding up youtube videos? That's a built in feature, click the gear icon at the lower right of the video. https://t.co/0Tkra35fwy

@ID_AA_Carmack We went yesterday and I liked it a lot! It is indeed just one giant room, but that one room was quite cool. Thank you for the recommendation! https://t.co/VUpzbfNS5D

@SpeakingBee @seesharp @jeffwilcox I wouldn't say *that* slow. But yeah, for charging a 30-60w input capable laptop fast, not your best option! For phones and misc devices, it's fine.

@castrojo There's a big push for "recent" results would be my guess, so a carefully curated, updated 5 year old Q&A might be pushed down arbitrarily

@seesharp @jeffwilcox get these, I swear by them, they work great and everyone I have gifted one to loves it as well. Integrated cable tie, LEDs on each port to let you know it is powered, and color coded! https://t.co/E5hoHZOJpC

@Maxim_498 @Zingbot93 @RockBand @Harmonix Yeah there's not exactly a lot of money in plastic music instruments these days. I wonder if people will start fabricating them themselves, 3d printing plus the guts of an xbox/ps controller??

Here's hoping! https://t.co/nSDtrCxU09

@ID_AA_Carmack I use Wirecutter recommendations a lot

@__apf__ this looks amazing, thanks for the rec!

@patio11 thank you for all your hard work on that project 🙏

@shanselman just moved houses and had a similar experience. But.. did you touch your *phone* in that week? 🤔

@pomeranian99 Try the Oakley one. It is incredible and I have tried dozens of different styles https://t.co/6dIT9T0ych

@atlefren @eventbrite I recently sent a letter to the CEO of Toyota USA to get an issue resolved. And believe me, it fucking *GOT RESOLVED*.

@IvyMike exactly!

@webguy @eventbrite viewing the raw email, it's 100% from eventbrite -- DKIM, SPF, DMARC all pass

@JohnHaldson @eventbrite it's symptomatic of major issues with the product!

@taylonr @eventbrite @kylewelch sure -- I can forward the email to you @kylewelch if you are up for it. I have the other one in my trash as well.

just got another (less horrifying) random event invite from @eventbrite to my email address for a *totally different person!* Does anyone know upper management at @eventbrite? Please connect me. I need to forward this email to someone who has the power to fix things.

corrected deep link to the interview, which also includes Trip Hawkins https://t.co/Qa6OsbJfd4

it's up to 67 cents in late 2021

@Pinboard who could have possibly seen this coming?!

@Pinboard @MrSpocksEars @donw @CoreyRobin Also, the real problem is that Maciej is not on TikTok creating viral dance voting videos to reach the youths. Get on that!

@Pinboard @MrSpocksEars @donw @CoreyRobin voting by mail is *not* complicated. We do it every year here in California...

@shog9 @iCatija @balpha @splattne Kevin Smith or John Belushi, eh? I missed that question, somehow, I had no upvotes in the whole thing..

@UrMomNFT @NoKapRich https://t.co/mg7YQz1yRT

@Saberspark hell no

GET SOME https://t.co/a5UjkCpiVi

@iCatija @balpha @splattne tell me who plays Joel!

@balpha @iCatija @splattne I pick .. Jack Black https://t.co/2gQ32hnFFt

@BobLovesData @mathowie I don't really have an opinion, other than, what do we need to do to get this to pass?

@mathowie why is it so all or nothing? Why not cancel half of it? Would that make it more palatable to the powers that be?

@timbray I think this philosophy makes more sense for 4K blu-ray because the streaming requirements for actual high quality video (HDR color, 7 audio channels, 4K) are… intense.

@hughhowey I was like “why is this a completely conventional love story” and reading your piece I realized it was a love story between two halves of the same person 🤯

@dccarles yeah and Casino Royale was *awesome*, the whole thing, even the intro sequence

@balpha @splattne dare I ask who would play.. me?

@donw @Pinboard @CoreyRobin Fair. 2020 had very good turnout levels. But these huge disparities between young and old on voting are causing big problems.

@donw @Pinboard @CoreyRobin nobody likes it when I say this, but it's the truth: we need Logan's Run back, just move the cutoff to 60. I volunteer to go first.

@donw @Pinboard @CoreyRobin Source: https://t.co/HxYMWyWcjQ

@donw @Pinboard @CoreyRobin "Voter turnout was highest among those ages 65 to 74 at 76.0%, while the percentage was lowest among those ages 18 to 24 at 51.4%" The olds are winning, and the bad news is that life expectancy keeps increasing (albeit barely because our healthcare system is so bad)

@chetfaliszek that would be my 2nd. There's a great top 10.
