Cary Hall

I’m @WilliamCaryHall@hachyderm.io on Mastodon, if you’d like to find me after this place burns down.

Bye, forever.

If you’ve enjoyed me here, please help me find you on Mastadon.

I’m not gone yet, but by week’s end I plan to be fully off Twitter. The pricing and rules changes are secondary. I simply will not let my eyeballs enrich the dipshit CEO in any way. I want this site to fail hard while he is in charge, and for that to be his legacy.

Inbox: "How are house races going for Republicans but senate races going for dems?" Senate races are statewide. House races are by district. Gerrymandering.

@rchrdbyd @pinskinator @blakegreendev 2023 is the year of Serverless!

@WilliamCaryHall @pinskinator @blakegreendev "we got rid of EC2, we don't think you'll miss it"

I thought I’d be ok not going to re:Invent this year but the FOMO is kicking in… 🫠

@pinskinator @rchrdbyd @blakegreendev Are you saying there is “One More Thing”?

@rchrdbyd @blakegreendev And I'm gonna make sure they do.

@__steele My “you won’t go to jail” shirt has lots of people asking questions already answered by my shirt.

Whenever I get a pre-emptive email saying I won’t go to jail, it always makes me feel better

To remain relevant they must: Become pro lgbtq Support climate mitigation Support police reform Stop dog whistling about black Americans Stop with the xenophobic rhetoric Drop gender based rhetoric Support measures to increase the standard of living of the working class

8 years. Based on demographic data, The republican party has 8 years to wake up and move left. If they don't, they'll be as relevant as the Whig party.

Do you think @seakoz will host a watch party?

Spokesperson for pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly says they're in communication with Twitter to address the fake-but-verified Eli Lilly tweet that has been up for three hours and has 1,500 retweets and 10,000 likes wapo.st/3UrrHSs

Metroid Prime Dev Stories #6: How does Metroid Prime save the game? The size of Metroid Prime’s save data is under ~60 bytes in size. How is it so tiny? Well, that requires explaining world layers: 1/5

@timClicks Thank you for this perl of wisdom.

Friends don't let friends use unsafe programming languages.

@tacertain I think he probably only trusts people that are drinking his koolaid and doesn’t have access to quality feedback that he actually trusts.

@benkershner @brianleroux They had one job.

@brianleroux I had a series of these today. Not a great look when you can’t deliver ads.

this app is getting buggy. seeing both latency and eventual consistency issues. a slow knife.

@benkershner I’ve forgotten lots from this but it’s really useful. Podcast is excellent. fivethirtyeight.com/tag/the-gerrym…

@WilliamCaryHall What are some good ways to solve the gerrymandering issue? The best that I know of is a bipartisan committee to draw up and approve district boundaries, but that also further entrenches the two-party system.

If nobody could gerrymander, we’d have a few hundred competitive seats in the House, and the parties would tweak their policies to win elections. Gerrymandering produces extreme candidates in safe seats.

Eagerly awaiting the NYTimes articles where they talk about how Republicans need to reconnect with Real Americans in areas like Portland, Brooklyn and Chicago if they ever want to regain relevance.

It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...
