@deadprogrammer that's actually really interesting

@stevemconstrux @jzy 💥💪

@danielpunkass @WordPress that is odd, were there any downsides to the fix? Did it break anything else? Did it change behavior? Patches like this which have no risk (by being surgically precise in their focus) and clear benefit we always accept quickly at @discourse

@ftrain I think most places should have a "no meetings" policy. Be brave. Be bold.

(Exceptions can happen, but should be *rare*.)

@spookylady @Pinboard @lil_robespierre @open_mix @eastdakota let whomstoeverest has the least privilege cast the first stone!

@deadprogrammer oh there is MUCH thought leadership in this area, trust me

@BaliosDimitri it's the metal of Titans!

I ultimately had to use a rockier substrate, but you can "stonewash" titanium with a sturdy container, a tumbler (of sorts) and this. https://t.co/wOMxPSsL8d

@textfiles it's Teenage Engineering, so I'll buy it, but .. I'm actually not optimistic about its future versus being a cool desk accessory novelty

buuut you still can't search it by typing 😭

Flippin' FINALLY! 🙌 https://t.co/16LbFrjXj8

@deadprogrammer I'm .. actually using this for something else yo-yo related.

@JustUhLittleLit well, there are rules, yes. 🤷‍♂️

@JustUhLittleLit you're thinking of subjective / opinion questions, maybe? https://t.co/di1GvG4eXK

@dammkewl I have no idea!

@tobermatt When is a door not a door? When it's ajar.

@MRiddickW agreed! this is basically why I started @discourse

@Carnage4Life Also college is a big giant collection of parties and dating, too, and people LOVE that bit.

@Carnage4Life My gut says this will never actually happen. People hated cabs for good reason (unreliable, rude, dirty, untrustworthy) but they like college, because it mostly works, albeit overpriced.

and then of course s03e01. That Football Town Nights skit *slays* me every time https://t.co/Tx8SpVoMam

the episodes are s02e01 and s03e03, definitely recommended

@sparklebliss I feel like freeware / shareware software releases are so dead, and yet they predicted free-to-play completely

@sparklebliss it's like watching yourself buy the blue ferrari instead of that red one you really wanted

@eviltrout a lot, in the beginning! but flip it around: do they get a choice of whether or not to hang out with their parents?

@HBranzini @jwz fax me some info on that

@Supermathie ah well, as I see it, it's a competitve advantage to understand & take advantage of the now, versus being held prisoner to data from decades ago! ;)

@Supermathie consistent with the Puget Systems observed data from live systems, memory quality is way up in the last ~5 years https://t.co/VJBJtZ3N5Y

@Supermathie I accept ECC as cheap (ideally eventually free) insurance, but it's awfully odd how 99% of the world's computers *don't* have ECC and the world is not collectively in flames from "random memory errors"

@Supermathie No, one is MAGIC AND SUUUPER ENTERPRISE GRADE, obviously

@webdevMason You *literally* have the rest of your life to be an adult. Be a kid while you can.

@chx wikipedia entry for Chernobyl Disaster

Both Ukraine and Belarus, in their first months of independence, lowered legal radiation thresholds from the Soviet Union's previous, elevated thresholds (from 35 rems per lifetime under the USSR to 7 rems per lifetime in Ukraine and 0.1 rems per year in Belarus)

@Pinboard @Steve_Yegge anyways, Steve strikes me as the kinda guy with an excellent sense of humor and he needs to engage on Twitter more

@Pinboard @Steve_Yegge https://t.co/k9CxylT0eF

@Pinboard I dunno why don't you ask @Steve_Yegge

@chriscoyier (nods solemnly)

@jontechs per-thread perf not there yet

@jwz @kbhasi don't worry, OLED is coming

@IrisClasson @jonskeet I approve of the number of monitors in this picture. Also the number of cute babies 👶

@stevesi "It’s due to be opened more than 900 years from now, in 2957." -- this is the real one ;)

@Pinboard @lil_robespierre @open_mix @eastdakota You seriously don't see the irony in someone with one of the *worst* current takes on privilege in tech (hey, these hate sites need fancy CDN acceleration and Rocket Loader too, well EXCEPT THAT ONE TIME) lecturing someone else about their privilege? Good lawd Maciej

@dmakogon @ryanshripat @iStarr @StackOverflow this discussion belongs on meta, but good luck getting the "I should be able to type whatever I want in this box and no human should be able to say differently to me" ruling in your favor

@Pinboard @lil_robespierre @open_mix @eastdakota strongly disagree, if the topic is privilege, this is absolutely about people with privilege making decisions that ultimately hurt a lot of other people in the name of "fairness to everyone".

@Pinboard @lil_robespierre @open_mix @eastdakota except for that one site he kicked off manually which was definitely uncool and stuff

@Pinboard @lil_robespierre @open_mix @eastdakota this speaks *directly* to privilege. It's not off topic Maciej. The privilege to have everyone's content accelerated by a fancy dynamic CDN and Rocket Loaders.

@Pinboard @eastdakota because certainly part of the privilege story is that *everyone* deserves the right to optimize their website for super reliable super speedy content delivery, right?

@psaffo gotta say maybe a little less salt water taffy isn't necessarily a bad outcome for the world

@Pinboard do me a favor and ask @eastdakota when he's gonna ban the rest of the nazis from his "optimization" platform? https://t.co/xnnj8q1oyv no no you don't understand THEY ARE JUST A DUMB PIPE!

@Carnage4Life I'd also add that sometimes we advise customers they *are* on the wrong solution and they would get a better fit from a competitor's product. Not because we don't like them, but because ultimately the goal is happiness, not forcing a fit.

@Carnage4Life That's the root problem, more so than "we didn't talk to customers". You need to have a culture that embraces change and improvement, rapid iteration, etc. Facebook is sadly very good at this, to society's detriment.

@Carnage4Life so frustrating because these options are literally trivial to implement, yet.. they haven't happened. Why? Who is calling the shots there, and why?

@Carnage4Life anyway *none* of this matters unless you actually *MAKE* changes engaged customers are asking you for. Again look at Twitter as an example. https://t.co/0mZdhh6u4o

@Carnage4Life maybe for enormous corps, but for a small company like ours, we don't have the bandwidth. In my experience you get such AMAZING feedback from the "yes, and" customers such that it's not necessary to follow up with "no, this totally isn't working for us" customers

@Carnage4Life honestly I find we get the best value from customers who are clearly fans of what we do, but have concrete and specific suggestions based on their usage. They "yes, and..." a lot. If Twitter had been listening to the simple suggestions people being abused had..

@Carnage4Life well sort of, your most unhappy customers should sometimes be on a totally different solution, by a different company. It's not 100% guaranteed that you can extract value from that, 50/50 at best

aha it's actually .. Ayla! https://t.co/wfY4eqOMBY

@cjgbest @paulg @trekonomics All takes are potentially bad takes when the topic is controversial enough. We see this big time in Discourse -- there's a ton of topics that do just fine without much fuss, and then there is gender, race, religion..

@paulg @trekonomics Any controversial topic should be discussed in a larger blog entry. The medium is a huge problem, 280 chars is better than 140 but still woefully inadequate for nuanced, contentious topics.

@guibog @paulg @Pinboard is the Marcel Proust of the tweeter

@jongalloway 11 still operational, my friend! https://t.co/BGqMiHnFih

If I'm reading this right, the clothes of the Chernobyl first responders, 25 years later (!), were almost as radioactive as Fukushima ever got? https://t.co/htDIhsqb8U

"The basement of the hospital contains the clothing of those who first tackled the explosion. Located in an enclosed environment even after 25 years the clothing is highly radioactive (way in excess of 386 uSv/h) and a terrifying reminder of what those first on the scene faced."

@maxmeuk yeah it is damned if you do, damned if you don't.. and I can't imagine dubbing in Russian with subtitles or anything like that.

@tqbf It was kinda next level when I heard it as a teenager. I always read it as an oblique commentary on being gay. Anyway, don't agree. Hard disagree.

@tqbf it's really serious

@paulg people arguably read far more than ever, on their smartphones as they scroll through social media.. it's a question of what you're reading, and why

@paulg I KNEW IT ALL ALONG THE JIG IS UP GRAHAM

@paulg The fart joke thing they did was a better example IMO

@Carnage4Life I dunno, I really do like the minimalism of a Tesla. You get in and there's no bullshit & random nonsense gadgets sprayed all over the inside of the car. It's kinda nice.

@EricVBailey I'll never stop loving this story: I was doing the Safety Dance at 80s night and this young lady tapped me on the shoulder to tell me I was Doing It Wrong™ (which, OK fine, I kinda was). That young lady was @betsyphd ! Always with the ladysplaining..

@wingedpig FACE ME COWARD I WILL NEVER LOG OFF

@johnolilly it's quite good

@tobermatt @betsyphd these are (almost) all to be sold though
