@davidfrum Yes, and unfortunately they know exactly how inferior, since the last guy tweeted out classified ultra resolution satellite images and revealed our capabilities.

If the Chinese use spy balloons a lot, and the US does not, isn't the logical inference that China's surveillance space satellites ... must be very inferior to US satellites?

Music you’ve always known but never knew what it was: Wiegenlied op. 49 n. 4 by Brahms. youtu.be/eLn-3U76kio

@stolinski But then what would Tech Twitter be for?

What if we were able to discuss the pros and cons of a technology without getting personal?

@petersagal @jaketapper The GOP can’t handle a Jaguar like Jordan right now. All they really want is a Chevrolet like McCarthy.

@rauchg Don’t give Elon any ideas

@wesbos Yo dawg, I put a plug-in in your plug-in so you can format while you format

You can give it patterns too, which is cool. I don't often have data like this where every `n` is something different, but graphics matrix transforms and canvas APIs do this

Nice little prettier plugin to handle long arrays that get formatted like a giraffe github.com/electrovir/pre…

@driverminnie @quantick I always loved the totally random, yet absolutely justified, trashing of Ethan Frome.

Also, possibly my favourite line from Grosse Pointe Blank : “ Is that that dead guy’s blood?” @quantick

@meyerweb @tiffani Egghead and B. Dalton for me

lmaoooo people have been doing this for years

@davidfrum And bone spur doctors.

@jaffathecake God save the Queen (to save us from her wretched son).

hmm, something odd is happening in parliament. Possible royal death?

@stolinski I want an extension that intercepts location bar searches to an incognito window that’s funneled through an anonymizing VPN. Does that exist?

This might be a hot take, but after a few years of Duck Duck Go as my main search engine, I'm heading back to Google. DDG is fine in a lot of ways, but the search results are often pretty painful.

@rauschma You could run both as Docker containers to use a Unix socket

Scenario: – Node.js app 1: web server – Node.js app 2: script that asks server to reload content it serves. How to communicate (Win&Unix)? – Maybe: REST request. Downside: Must decide on fixed port. – Neither app is child process of other one, so Node’s IPC isn’t an option.

@jaffathecake 1x: 300x250 72ppi; 2x: 600x500 72ppi, or 2x: 300x250 144ppi. Nobody does the latter.

@jaffathecake Do you know why the consensus for making -2x, -3x images is to keep the same img px density as the 1x, but double/triple the width & height? (E.g. Instead of taking a 300x250 72ppi img and saving a 144ppi image for 2x.)

What article / blog post did you write that you refer back to the most?

@meyerweb Daddy or sugar daddy

@jaketapper And yet this is the guy famous for pushing the Unitary Executive political philosophy, that the President’s powers are essentially unchecked.

AG Barr on talking to then-President Trump after the election: “I was somewhat demoralized, because I thought, ‘Boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has lost contact with – he’s become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff.’”

@clmazin Search “Angel Hernandez” on YouTube. See how many videos you have to scroll past until you find one that *isn’t* about him being terrible at his job.

@joncoopertweets The only way it’s going to happen is if it preserves the status quo. Give the Rs Jefferson (NorCal) in exchange for D.C. statehood. P.R. can become a state whenever they want.

I'm curious. Do you agree DC and Puerto Rico deserve statehood?

@rejectedjokes @BenStiller @AppleTVPlus Unrelated: I think we technically have the same name.

@BenStiller @AppleTVPlus On my way.

Seems crazy to me that @AppleTVPlus hasn't green-lit the show that I just thought of called Ben on Ben where I lie down on top of @BenStiller and ask him questions about Severance and his career. Or it's just a sketch show.
