I want donuts.

This makes it sound like the computerized strike zone is an AI that has come to life and is taking hostages.

@benthompson do you by chance still have old Microsoft emails tied to your Facebook? If so, I may have reset your password earlier. Sorry about that… FB emailed me about a new login and I assumed it was somebody attempting to use my email for an acct b4 I made the connection

Breaking my very long Twitter hiatus to ask: Why does Terminal C in CLE smell like cat piss?

@staylebait @ADuffie26 @cmmadiso That being said, there are a decent number of startups here that might be approaching big data scale soon. And GCP seems like a good choice for getting into it

@ADuffie26 @bathompso @cmmadiso To weigh in I will be doing a talk on Big Data using Google Cloud Platform up there next month.

Question for the masses up in #RaleighNC what are some of the dominant tech industries up there? Will be up there for a talk on #BigData with @googlecloud next month so need ideas for it. #RaleighDurham #NorthCarolina #TechIdeas #PleaseHelpWithIdeas #GoogleCloud

@staylebait @ADuffie26 @cmmadiso (Sorry I’m hardly ever on Twitter and didn’t see this right away) I’m still very much in the Silicon Valley world, so I’m not super in tune with Raleigh tech, but it’s “older” and also big into SAS for data products.

@pmfastro @julsHz 🤔🤔🤔

@julsHz @bathompso do you want to be you?!?

@IAm_Marvaroso Spectroscopy was never really my focus, so I’m not that great with MOOG, unfortunately. I was just the tech guy to get everything installed and configured for others. If you’re looking for an “expert,” @julsHz was always my go-to

Which would you rather? Learn all about open source (+more) Code & build integrations for robots Find out how to optimize GitHub for your team (design workflows + more) Whichever one you picked, it’s possible. Buy your ticket here: githubuniverse.com/workshops/

@KatBarger @TCUPhysAstro That’s really great to hear. Software is the future! (And not just because I’m paid to say that)

@bathompso @TCUPhysAstro We are trying to adopt Python for our "official" department coding language and move the undergrad computer science requirement earlier into the second year so that all of our classes can incorporate coding. Of course, some of our faculty, like myself, need to learn it too!

Interested in gaining or improving upon your coding skills? Join @TCUPhysAstro Python lunch on Fridays from 12–1pm in SWR 358. #ComputerPrograming

@APOGEEsurvey @pmfastro @JohnDonor3 @omzamora Thanks!

@pmfastro @JohnDonor3 @omzamora @bathompso Went through a handful of Ben Thompsons before giving up -- welcome to the tagged-in-APOGEE-tweets family @bathompso!!!

Donor (@JohnDonor3) et al. (arxiv.org/abs/1807.09791) is the second paper on the Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey (OCCAM) within our project. This paper is focused on the #DR14 data for Open Clusters in combination with @ESAGaia

@APOGEEsurvey @JohnDonor3 @ESAGaia This is awesome! Glad to see cool results coming out

Working remotely when Slack is down.

This new Siri shortcut thing is pretty cool

We're thrilled to announce that we've entered into an acquisition agreement with @Microsoft! news.microsoft.com/?p=406917

One teen asked Tim Cook to “dab on the haters” today during a q&a at Steve Jobs theater. His answer? “I’m not going to do that.”

You have to see the ones where the infinity stones and thanos were introduced. I'd say: Captain America Avengers Thor: The Dark World Avengers: Age of Ultron Guardians of the Galaxy That feels like the minimal set. twitter.com/kellan/status/…

@D_Jedamski Just be thankful you’re not the Browns

@D_Jedamski 🤣

I worked a lot with this team when I was there, and the tech they have is seriously cool. twitter.com/Uber/status/98…
