@theycallmemorty @paulg Were my *code* contributions to Stack Overflow significant in its success? Not really. Not at all, in fact.

@theycallmemorty @paulg Writing code is almost always the least effective method (by a considerable margin) of reaching a particular goal. Every second Paul spends writing code today, for example, is ultimately wasted.

@paulg That's interesting. I have zero desire for any of my children to be programmers.

It's sooo good 👌

@JustinTPriest @MeganRisdal @KeirRice @juliasilge were you also leaving a comment versus an answer (or an edit)? The former requires 50 rep because it isn't a core Q&A activity. Check out https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@KeirRice @MeganRisdal @juliasilge friction is the goal when it comes to comments (versus answers); it's similar to the way wikipedia works. See https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@mathowie "I'm talkin' Elon Musk and Grimes perfect!" 🤣

@textfiles it's like we're arguing about what shade of brown the poop is

@textfiles not... really?

@KeirRice @MeganRisdal @juliasilge sounds like you tried to leave a comment instead of an answer; posting answers requires no reputation (or even an account)

@dsteele713 @spacexonaut but yeah, we won't see 2x in 2028.

@dsteele713 @spacexonaut the web scores are quite good, considering. Basically 2x since 2011.

@textfiles oh yeah versus alllll the other "great" airlines

@DavidCasselTNS if that is what @pinboard tells me to do, then that is what I will do.

@keerthiko I think it is, yes. The intent is "never be absolutely uncritical of anyone" e.g. nobody gets a pass because they're some kind of saint who never makes mistakes, gets angry, gets upset, etc etc etc etc

@nathanmacinnes it's unlikely Joel and I would want to be running mates

@keerthiko more seriously though, that's not the intent. Don't seek out being critical, that leads to pedantry. Seek out never being completely uncritical. Kinda different meaning.

@keerthiko I ain't not never disagreeing with that nohow

I guess it just makes me happy that people can learn never to look at ANYONE uncritically. Humans are unreliable.

@CesarAndreu I just send it wherever @Pinboard tells me it will be the most effective.

the total amount I spent on politics prior to 2016 was $0. So *that* changed.

@Hanzo55 @alexhillman As an open source project ourselves, we use Mattermost which is open source.

@stevesi I'm telling you I don't even like dark mode white on black! I am NOT a fan! But the data tells the story!

@stevesi LISTEN UP STEVEN YOU CAN'T STOP PHYSICS

@stevesi believe me, I find this result annoying too because I don't like white-on-black at all

@stevesi it's true though! You can fire up the kill-a-watt and test yourself, the bigger the display, the more pronounced the effect is https://t.co/DQ18Olp7Tv

@dj_ir0ngruve @stevesi (swoon)

@stevesi though if OLED comes to pass on desktop, laptop, and tablet 🙏 .. there is a legit powersaving argument to be made here

@stevesi Tripling down on 'even darker mode'

@lizardbill I... I... I.. need this

@m_bailey @Madedigital yes exactly what I was thinking!

@schmylan @paulg just filtering out the crazy / irrational people (as best you can) and looking for people who are willing to work really hard and can explain a vision in a compelling way.. would get you 90% of the way there. No "hunch" needed

@AMLG23 https://t.co/qiRQykbJ3D

@nabeel @johnolilly well it is true that Fortnite is babbys first social network, of sorts..

@johnolilly Fortnite hasn't been too challenging with my 10 year old but his gaming setup is immediately next to my desk so I get to intervene as much as needed..

@Pinboard Give it some good skritches on its fur

@johnolilly My kids seem to laser hone into just a few (approved, fwiw) activities on their iPads so they aren’t experimenting with anything that’s out there

@HanneyChris @siracusa Nice good to hear will give this a shot!!

@_jenruss let's see.. eighth grade would be.. age 14? Sounds good to me!!

@siracusa It it just a lot of "interactive first person reading" or it is a reasonable game as well? For example, I wasn't a fan of Gone Home, though I didn't *hate it* per se, it wasn't really for me.

@DocPop as if I needed another reason to hate mobile apps

@JHellings watch the individual shorts though, not just the trailer

Well SOMEONE at Weyland-Yutani corp sure loves them some Xenomorphs https://t.co/EgcHp41DvN

@Gryzor watch the Alien short films in my reply.

For contrast, watch the Alien 40th anniversary short films. These are all *very* impressive CGI. Worlds better than what passed for big budget films in 2007! Stunningly good. https://t.co/V2DVEBt8PL

@taviso 😱

@jongalloway @dotnet or mayyyyyyyyyybe people need some extra.. ✨ LUCK?

@deanputney keepin it real.. REAL OPTIMISTIC

@Carnage4Life @SpreadTheVoteUS I agree 100% however, banning vans full of the elderly from voting wouldn't help Republicans as older people skew heavily conservative. Maybe they just cherry picked examples that make them look fair? Not sure.

@migueldeicaza @jongalloway Remember you can rub his head for good luck, it works 🎲

@kevindente Not really, it just dismissed the fiction that you will ever be deploying to a Windows server

@paulg #2 is the only viable solution, everything else is deluding yourself to some degree.

@paulg well, you know my advice. Get feedback on ideas on Twitter.. then write a more complete, longer form blog piece based on that initial feedback.

@paulg well, 1980, I guess. A lot can happen in 40 years.

@paulg I still say that society has barely come to grips with our new reality: a computer in every pocket, 24/7, always connected. It's funny that Microsoft's original vision of "a computer on every desktop", which seemed so radical in 1970, was off by .. many orders of magnitude.

@paulg this is also why it's a suuuper bad idea to get into an argument with someone who is retired.

@paulg This is not new. The most persistent people are enabled by online tools being available 24/7, and computers now being in every pocket and always connected.

don't get old, kids

@brunolemos then they need to turn off oAuth entirely. The defaults are unsafe as *hell*.

@currentlyoom before declaring this your favorite {item in your collection}, make sure the moneymoon is over.

@samsaffron @natfriedman honestly if there can't be any other GitHub oAuth scopes between "full access" and "nothing" I recommend FORCEFULLY DISABLING OAUTH FOREVER. It's really.. that.. bad. And it's not going to get better.

@jessamyn @eminencefont metallica sold a loooooot of records. Like.. a LOT. https://t.co/YuINOWOrUs

@natfriedman We.. don't.. want to prevent oAuth apps. We want a scope between "literally everything" and "literally nothing". Read only is ideal!

@betsyphd WORTH IT

@garethadams "GitHub apps equally suck… but suck differently. You can give read only to all private repos… BUT as soon as we want to write any comments on commits, we need to grant write Permission on 'contents'" from @samsaffron

@snellingio @Paritoshmmmec @natfriedman @github yeah it's really bad, especially since the default action is so dangerous.

TL;DR there end up being two methods of "access" to GitHub repos with oAuth -- full permission including write and create repo, and.. uh.. no access at all? Something safe like "read only" through oAuth is impossible, which is kinda insane.

@mathowie It's been *really* interesting to see this observation play out in the YouTube reboot, Cobra Kai.. which has absolutely no business beeing as great as it is https://t.co/7so3qV61Sj

@Eduardo_Gpe That’s what happened to old links. It still works though.

This is a very deep cut, whoever liked this from 2007

@siracusa If it were up to the men, there would be a whoooole lot less children. Which is kinda what the planet needs long term anyway.

@joffreyjaffeux your response rolled an 8

@tottinge @shog9 it's dramatically faster to bring in other talented folks who hit the ground running, though.

I can't stop rolling this ridiculous thing. It's like RNGesus is speaking directly through me 🙏

@Supermathie old news my man https://t.co/cIIMyigFkY

@stevesi @Carnage4Life Also related https://t.co/DPg5RGi2rH

@Carnage4Life Not arguing or disagreeing at all, I'm honestly curious how you would run the verification program if you were in charge. Because I have ideas 🤔

@jwz The cited article is from 2017. Didn't Cloudflare change their policy since then on sharing information about complaints? Is there a newer article about this?

Aw yiss look at what I just rolled 😎 https://t.co/EGcsAU0SgZ

@simon_j_parker 4 seasons was a lot of time, and the ending is .. weird.. so I'm not sure. It had its moments for sure, but as a coherent end-to-end story maybe not.

Thank the gods I'm frakkin' done with this thing. No, I didn't think season 4 was a letdown, you could kinda see all the weirdness slooowly amplifying in earlier seasons
