@danctheduck Great paraphrase. I think of it as an optimization algorithm that *should* be running isolated inside of a VM running on a host OS of legislation, but due to political bugs reaches out to it's host OS and affects the rules governing it's own VM, causing many, many problems.

"Capitalism interprets ethics as inefficiency and routes around it" - paraphrasing John Gilmore I think about this idea a lot, especially in terms of pragmatic options with regards to externalities and commons. Really interesting design problem

@SimonVaever Inerti.

Hvorfor har folk stadig Danske Bank, som Bank?

@Jkooza Early March, give or take. It’s weird.

I had a dream last night I met someone and shook their hand. Then I remembered and freaked out and woke up. When’s the last time you shook someone’s hand?

@Heilemann Maybe it could be opt in then?

Haven’t tweeted since 2018. Apparently I don’t like having opinions in public anymore. For you, I’ll go out on a limb now, though: This covid-19 thing sucks, and I’d like it to end.

@Runkeeper It sucks quite a lot that you split the iOS App from the Apple Watch app. The old way was significantly better. I'd be happy to give you many reasons why :)

@SpotifyCares Bizarrely I had not tried a reboot. Which fixed it. Go figure. MacBook Pro i9 2018 model.

@brianmeidell Hey Brian! That's not cool. Could you let us know the exact make/model, operating system and Spotify version of your device? We'll see what we can suggest /BX

@SpotifyCares Have been unable to listen to Spotify for days, because of "Can't play the current song" error - tried: reinstalling, log in/out, hardware accel, etc - nothing works. Can you help me solve this? (couldn't find a support email)

@PADI You’re storing and emailing your online course members passwords in plain text 😱 Let’s party with IT security like it’s 1995! 🎉 #ITSecurity

@marcoarment So maybe the future MacBook Pro purchase flow will get a config option like: Keyboard: [ Regular ][ Give me TouchID, but throw the Touchbar into the sun ]!

I'm at #WebSummit in Lisbon this week. Poke me if you want to cross paths and talk about tech, games, whatever.

@ID_AA_Carmack @mike_acton Stuff that shows the hidden cost of language features: Build a memory allocator from scratch. Unravel a callstack manually. Learn about branch prediction hardware. Build your own vtable based polymorphism.

At OC5 a high school student asked me for advice about learning high performance programming. I don’t have a great curriculum. Home brew dev on retro platforms. Read Henessey&Patterson. @mike_acton presentations. Abrash’s Black Book. What else?

@mhbergen Do you mean 21% of the entire Apple earnings or just Apples services business? (re. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…)

@elonmusk I ran some of FRVRs games in my Tesla’s browser. Would be fun to work on getting them natively on the center touch screen :) dragrace.frvr.com

If you’re into video game development, consider applying to Tesla. We want to make super fun games that integrate the center touch screen, phone & car irl.

@garyvee you seem to work with every type of modern media - have you done anything with games?

OH: "We can't entirely eliminate our technical debt. My goal is to refinance it at a lower interest rate." 😂

@krolldk @loeffe If water falls from the sky and you get wet because you were not prepared, it makes no sense to blame the water. So I agree.

@brianmeidell @loeffe Dont get me wrong. Not blaming investors / publishers. I blame devs not thinking ahead.

I’ve been thinking a lot about why most gamedevs - even extremely awesome and experienced ones - fail to turn their work into a good business. Thoughts? #gamedev

@krolldk @loeffe Yup, the low success rate of games in general ends up insuring that publishing deals will end up being balanaced in a way that makes it unlikely you'll ever reach "financial escape velocity".

@loeffe @brianmeidell get funding. hire loads of people. build game. sell game. Repay investor. Now, how do you pay loads of people each month ? There's your problem.....

@dampgnat :( That makes me sad - hope you still have dry shoes.

@brianmeidell That’s very kind sir :D But sadly I’ve suffered like everyone else as the swamp has risen. Nobody’s safe!

@RevolutApp I love your product, but you screwed up badly on this one.

@brianmeidell Hey, Brian. I have escalated your case to the relevant team. They will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
