@rands agree. Wikipedia article for it is interesting, though. And it sounds like it grew in appreciation *slightly* over the years: https://t.co/cDC1dNEWP7

@rands Pee-Wee's Big Adventure 🎪

@rands I had never actually seen BttF II somehow, watched it recently.. and WOW that's a dark movie. Super dark. Plus the hard-coded ad for the BttF III at the end?!

@ProgrammerRcf @amyhoy @djbaskin extremely valid point. also they emphasize the mental mindset of "get done with whatever took you near other people, then get inside"

@paulg @mattyglesias my mind has actually been changed on this one. Even as a form of social signalling, it matters. And if you are sick and don't know it, which sounds more and more the case with COVID-19..

@xor best interpretation 👏

@kevindente "it's" eh

@djbaskin Did you see this? https://t.co/l6AJ6LE9QU

@spies_please You need to buy a 256gb phone, that is essential. World needs more Pretzel pics in a time of crisis.

@OkButStill @ironicsans Ouch

@Pinboard @1billy1 @mattyglesias Can only donate unopened boxes of N95s tho

@Pinboard yeah this is one of those subjects where I can honestly say my mind has been changed. I think masks are important now. Don't need to be fancy type either.

@kemitchell this is so HARDCORE KYLE!!!!

I LOVE IT 💖

@seesharp ironically there was one key that didn't have a bumper (it came this way from the WASD factory). The B key. So I blamed @betsyphd as I am wont to do

@ForwardsEnginrd @thewasteland @lambotpm If it ain’t loud you ain’t typin

Ack, curse you, my old nemesis stabilizer bars! (shakes fist) but I got it all done.

@chetfaliszek Good riddance

@Pinboard This event only pushes the needle even harder toward more digital, more programmers.

@jzy That is exactly what a tanner would say

@shahedC @jongalloway wow I had NEVER heard of the movie 2012. And it was the fifth highest grossing film of 2009 apparently!!

@jongalloway watching Contagion (2011) on repeat while playing the Pandemic boardgame

@bijan root.. beer pong.. right? 😉 https://t.co/XebESJ2OQK

@jwz well, I'm in for $10/month. I know you wanted me to add some zeroes but dammit, we have 3 kids, I can barely leave the house as it is

Detailed review here. I still say this is actual old-school DOS emulation, since the Carmen Sandiego game came out in the same format! https://t.co/aFFP6OxU3z

@jessfraz Apple // version here.. yeah, I always forgot how bad the Apple // was with colors lol https://t.co/W4Dtgn7u4Q

@jessfraz Based on the MS-DOS version. My bad. https://t.co/aFFP6OxU3z https://t.co/hFmObuyW5f

@Carnage4Life 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@jessfraz the emulation on that one is VERY VERY good. It looks like an actual Apple // version, I *think*? A lot of the cheap one-off handheld arcade games are usually terrible clones. This one is not!

@jessfraz it's cheating .. but you've seen this, right? https://t.co/6mzCvQVo9C

"And it’s probably the way we would be better if we saw ourselves that way, which is much more alike than different."

"When we do get through it, maybe like WW2, it will cause us to reexamine what has caused the fractional division we have in this country. The virus is an equal opportunity infector."

@matvelloso so much winning

@amandafrench @jimsafley I mean Daydream Believer and Last Train to Clarksville are both kind of incredible songs

@rory_blyth if it makes you feel any better my house and office is such a disaster that @damienkatz lectured me at length about it 😭

@Beschizza cc @deadprogrammer

@BillSeitz @Pinboard @tqbf @cathaypacific ok well THAT'S shitty. I would expect they'd allow until 2021

@textfiles Lovely

@Pinboard @tqbf @cathaypacific well, right, this would realistically be a kind of .. uh.. loan.. to the airline that you'd recoup in 2021. Hopefully. 🙏

@tqbf @Pinboard @cathaypacific it makes sense, though. And assuming people do resume travelling by air in the future (2021?) .. it'll work out.

@Pinboard @cathaypacific will they offer an airline credit (for future flights) versus a refund?

@DocPop we have this thing and it works well https://t.co/uNHLDAV7Pr

@vexedmuddler So lovely. I have been painting my nails as a stress reducer as well. https://t.co/VtRNQ5L7n5

@mathowie brilliant 👏

@textfiles imagine what actual leadership used to look like

@PimDeWitte yes! see https://t.co/IDcZRfcMvy .. best to contact us via official channels per https://t.co/miaK4vMSeK website

@NicMagnier well yeah, join my tiny club 😁

@stumark @Frauenfelder nailed it 🔨

@carlesgelada the remembered song performance was 👌 excellent, and yeah.. just ask on Facebook, problem solved.

@UltraTopSecret I was mostly bored through the whole thing, and I felt the end was a giant letdown. The recording of the fake "as remembered" song was truly amazing though. That, I'll totally concede.

@stevesi it does feel like temperature testing should be way more common out there, since the tools for it are cheap

@fredwilson @maxrogo @nurxapp The app just redirected me to https://t.co/WiLca9Kg4p (turn off ALL ad blockers or the page won't work) anyways, so I suggest starting there. Web wins ;)

@johnolilly @hughescr without a doubt: testing, testing, testing. This has to scale up fast for the economy to come back.

@Beschizza ah yes, excellent perspective

@Beschizza OK now you're just showing off 🌲

@lizardbill uuhhhhh...

@Beschizza That's So Beschizza

@lizardbill wow this one is really bad

@Steve_Yegge lots of testing would also help considerably, and can be done much faster than a vaccine

@bmaxhacks @discourse Support is everyone‘s job 🤝

@textfiles *sigh*

@Pinboard well that depends what drugs you have on hand

@textfiles is it good? should I get this? I prefer Battlefield 5 type dynamics but I have enjoyed PUBG and Fortnite..

@Pinboard you missed an opportunity to use "main street vs. wall street"

@castrojo I went in that place a 3+ years ago to try to ditch an old Xbox One and after that experience, I vowed never ever again. The pawn shop vibe was so oppressive.

also for anyone reading this and thinking, "hmm, never heard it, I should listen to Apollo" holy shiiiiit do I envy the experience you're about to have 🤩

@donpark the big gap is testing. We need a TON of testing done at scale. That's urgent.

"While the DX7 was noted for its difficulty, Eno was something of an expert in the synth, using it extensively in albums such as 1983’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks." https://t.co/tCKmkIXKg0

@ashton @siracusa anyways, back to the propaganda machine 😉

https://t.co/847Gw3IdWV "Something went wrong with music when the DX7 synthesizer came out."

@togormain it is seriously next level galaxy brain stuff

@ashton @siracusa so yeah. Now going to disk is like going to .. Mars. Instead of Jupiter (PCI express SSD) or Pluto (spinning rust HDD)

@ashton @siracusa The issue is that disk is still SOOOO slow relative to everything else that you're only moving the goalposts a tiny bit. See https://t.co/bqHWIKeWWV

@ashton @siracusa well yeah, the games are more expensive too. Razor and blades. Crazy amounts of I/O is difficult to really optimize for in gaming (or in general purpose computing to be honest). Crazy amounts of RAM (and fast RAM) is much more significant IMO

@siracusa LOL @ "console games punch above their weight". Hey man, whatever helps you get to sleep at night 😉

@xor wow that is mega bad.

@hes153ter @anarcheinthedk @LukasHenselEcon @GenevieveCogman it's always the same thing: families or children.

@rory_blyth amazing man -- keep going 🎉

ref https://t.co/2Tvwyrj4bF -- find the next article with the answer after you've fully read that one ;)

As you begin to hunker down, ask yourself: What kind of person do I want to be for the next 2 weeks, or 4 weeks, or 6 weeks? What would the best version of me be doing right now? What would the best version of me look like at the end of this period?

@Carnage4Life Italy has other specific demographic and social and governmental problems as well, further clouding any predictions

@textfiles I regret that I can only like each of these tweets once 😍

@Pinboard there is real, deep fear now, which cuts to the bone. That's the .. uh.. good news?

@xor and voting by mail.. 💌

there, but for the grace of God, go I -- "we watched all five Air Bud movies and ranked them in order of plausibility, from most to least"

@xor yes, get the larger 12.9" ipad pro if you can, which is kind of a PITA to use but is *amazeballs* for comics reading and multiplayer games.

@KristyT is that a two-way speaker? It usually isn't, is it?

@dfabu that's the way the stones came on the card so I'm pretty sure this is correct 🤓

@dfabu Wait. The comic and the movie have different stone locations.. I believe mine WAS correct based on the comic? See pic. https://t.co/G8EeAiJc07

@johnolilly Most outcomes from 9/11 were bad overreactions: TSA security theater, Patriot Act, etc... I feel outcomes here could be potentially far more useful (vote by mail, better healthcare, etc.)

@dfabu yes, they can be moved. My bad!!

@kylealden I love your hat!! 🤠🤣

@__apf__ I call this observation "parenting"

@johnolilly I can't even tell what day of the week it is any more. I asked @betsyphd if it was still Monday

@donlbe me too 🤗 maybe this is the alien invasion 👽 we all needed to put aside petty disputes and work together, like we're supposed to.

@textfiles you want actual *evil*, I strongly suggest you take a close look at Oracle. Then you'll need to recalibrate all your scales.

@textfiles not really. Windows 95 was legitimately a great OS, easily a rival to anything Apple was producing -- and that's what carried them for quite a while, through to Windows XP, another legitimately great OS.

@nicksahler I would eat it!!
