What idiot called it a DM instead of lore enforcement

@anthony_d2825 @rvfabrice @GS_VCactivist Aim it a mile forward? Like tossing a ball to someone on a moving skateboard.

@rvfabrice @GS_VCactivist how does a non rotating moon affect my description? The Earth rotates away from the moonface while waiting for the laser to return. So how could it bounce back to the same spot as he says in the video?

This is the best arguments I have heard against moon landing hoax. I love this.

@adam_tooze thought you might find this interesting, especially with the nigerian-births graph you posted recently climatedrift.substack.com/p/why-solarpun…

@awesomekling @caddyserver just works

What's a piece of software you use regularly that you can't think of a single complaint about?

@PortmanToes @TheKevinDalton @Noahpinion yeah this is just describing how bail works. idgi

@TheKevinDalton @Noahpinion You think nonviolent drug dealers should be held without bail? That seems extreme.

Eleven fentanyl dealers were arrested in San Francisco last week. Guess how many were immediately released by Gavin Newsom’s lawless California to continue selling fentanyl in San Francisco? All eleven…

@jdvmi00 @theo @unclebobmartin what would you use for persistence for a CRUD app?

exactly why @unclebobmartin is a legend, he gets it. SQL is atrocious! A few reasons why… Paradigm mismatch (declarative embedded into imperative), Security Vulnerabilities (nothing comes close to number of issues is software history), Impedance Mismatch (tables, rows, columns vs objects, variables), Tight coupling, difficult to test, Leaky abstraction, performance issues, …

Just learned that Uncle Bob is anti-SQL lol

🚨 I’ve published a new issue brief presenting evidence that young adult wealth, especially housing wealth, is upwardly biased in the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), a widely used data source for wealth statistics in the U.S. buff.ly/3yEjvs2 🧵

@Jonathan_Blow @michael_nielsen I'm not an American, not sure what this means. Who is the commander in chief?

Though this is another way it's dangerous to have an obvious placeholder president like Biden, who clearly isn't in command of anything -- who is the real Commander in Chief? Since it's obvious to everyone it's not him, it might be a little easier to do a coup. (Though I think in current circumstances this is extremely unlikely).

A question I find fascinating - because my own understanding is so bad - is why military coups don't happen more often in certain countries with very powerful militaries (the US is the obvious example)? You have all this incredible force concentrated in one organization, and yet it doesn't take power, despite having the ability to topple foreign governments I'd happily read a (good!) book-length treatment of this question

@benyoungnz Special kind of crazy when you have to hand make your own bumper stickers

We still doing this? Leaving these signs around town…

@moresarahtonin @MichaelaOkla Couldn't believe it when I found out they had a radio station

@MichaelaOkla i thought martha’s vineyard was a vacation property owned by martha stewart

@n1ftyviz @davidrkadler you think there is something special about people born within this particular region

@Choplogik best tweet of 2024 so far

unlike the mycelium, you can kill me in a way that matters. it matters to me big time

@softboiledegg97 @GraceSpelman do NOT try to cancel fajitas for this

etymology heads…drop your faves

It's called a cast iron pan because you cast it into the dishwasher

@therealdanvega Curious about the cheerp4j folks. Are they building new apps? Kind of assumed it was all old applets brought to the browser

I asked Java developers what they use to build frontends in Java and this is what we came up with. Do we like the categorization? Are we missing anything? Thank you to everyone who helped contribute to this.

@SmartMaschine @springrod @_JamesWard Are coroutines useful now that we have Loom?

@springrod @_JamesWard agree with James on Kotlin: coroutines, can compile into "native", Google has been supporting Kotlin for years. If I was forced back unto the JVM, Kotlin would be it, that is if I had a choice. Much love to y'all from Swift / Python / C++ ;-))

Working full time in Java again after more than 10 years is an interesting experience. I've done a lot of Scala, TypeScript and Python in the interim--of which I strongly prefer TypeScript. I'm thinking of blogging/talking/tweeting about the journey. #Java

It is hard looking backwards to convey the sheer astonishment that the Wikipedia model for collaboration, or the Linux model, worked. Wikis sounded like a literal joke or attempt at social commentary. Wikipedia is probably the greatest cultural achievement of the past 100 years

@DManheart @lionel_trolling This seems like a reasonable explanation to me. @whstancil ?

It does not grow automatically as a rise to a set of economic conditions, but fascism is a response to a social crisis. It cannot convert people to its ideas without seeming like a plausible answer to that crisis. When others see an economic crisis, it replies that it is really

@HaysNewZealand thanks for the salary guide. are your NZ numbers in NZD or AUD?

@Raamana_ @SteveStuWill @WiringTheBrain If it's true only for German children of two states, that's still pretty interesting.

@SteveStuWill @WiringTheBrain conclusion is too generic to imply it applies to the whole world, which is much bigger and more diverse (in their parenting styles) than the western world! Results applicable only to demographics of the German children and their culture, coming from 2 states!

Parenting practices seem to have little or no impact on children's personalities, contrary to some of the best-known theories in psychology. (Longitudinal study; N = 3,880) online.ucpress.edu/collabra/artic…
