@ProjectLincoln I believe you meant to say cats.

Tonight at 10: old man yells at cloud

Hi @brandur! I really appreciated your recent thoughts on sqlc (brandur.org/fragments/sqlc…), and I'm a big fan of your writing in general. Just curious if you have a preferred approach for thinking about db migrations in go that are similarly simple? Hope you are doing well!

@EvanHillHB Watch the bear chef.

Should I finally give in and watch Breaking Bad? I can never get past the first couple episodes

@moultano “Readme” a misaligned AI that deletes all human knowledge and replaces it with READMEs filled with stream of consciousness poetry.

A misaligned AI that tries to turn all human behavior into clicks, "Clicky."

@mookiealexander Please tell us more about how awesome Bobo is and when the new t-shirt will be available :)

lmaooooooooooooo

Since Week 6, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is: 6th among rookie WRs in catches (26) 5th in receiving yards (344) 5th in first downs made (15) All while playing in a struggling offense as the WR3. He's gonna be alright.

I am so excited to be heading to Colorado to keynote this conference!! “Coping with Other People’s Code” is a new talk I’ve workshopped in Seattle (thank you @xcoders) and can’t wait to present to a bevy of C++ engineers cppcon.org/2023-keynote-l…

My son lost his first tooth today and I’m so proud of him. I’ve also been watching a few too many episodes of #OnePiece and now all I can think is “What kind of tooth fairy are you??” The stretchy kind.

@zette16 @ConorMODonovan Keep an eye on that 41-50 demo. They are the first Nintendo gen and when they hit retirement some of them will go nuts :)

@xJ8N0W311x It is Series S as well. Don’t leave us out of the fixes :)

Please. Again. Bethesda please fix the Series X crashing on Starfield. I can’t play more than 30 minutes now without a crash.

@itscdellolio I’m the same on Series S

@juliangough @visakanv I think @juliangough has it right. It is the best and the hardest. Enjoy :)

@visakanv Not the worst (in some ways the best!), but the hardest.

many people keep telling me things like “the first 2 months of having a child will be the worst months of your life” I don’t expect it to be easy, but for me personally I don’t expect it to be even in the top 10 worst couple of months in my life maybe I’ll be wrong, we’ll see

@DrunkScribe @OtisTrnr101 Welcome, glad you are here!

@OtisTrnr101 Seattle! Nook and Cranny bookstore!

I walked past the bookstore where my in-person event is being held tonight, and they had a big poster with my picture and book in the window. And I immediately burst into tears.

@Tomleejr @ramit I like your take best @Tomleejr. Buying is a much worse decision if you don’t know the area or market well.

@ramit I always like to rent first to better understand the neighborhoods. Much to learn after being on the ground.

Would you rent or buy? $3,500 to rent $5,300 to buy (plus maintenance) Financially speaking, what's the better decision?

@KupcakeProse Two and a half with daycare. It ended up being very important because that was Feb 2020 🙃

Fellow parents, what age did you potty train your kids?

Re-Xing X’s on X since 2023

@ramit I’ve always thought of the home purchase as partially for the “rent control” protection. Do you find over a 10 year period the rents raise enough to change the calculation?

You buy a house, thinking it's a good investment Value increases $500K Now what? When does it actually turn into $ for you? Do you sell & move to another house? Other houses are expensive now Sell & move cities? Maybe, but your friends & family are here Now what?

@ESYudkowsky I’m always in for a good fantasy story! Perhaps they meet three AGIs at a fork in the road? One that always tell the truth, one that always hallucinates, and one that always makes paperclips :)

Story concept: fantasy world of causal decision theorists, where there exists a truth spell / honesty spell, gets conquered by an isekai protagonist with the superpower of (ordinary human) logical decision theory.

@koujaku Very cool. In my own work with visual programming in games I found people loved a big canvas like that, but my regret was not making layout automatic. All the manual placement led to most people not doing it!

I am still noodling with this idea of node/whiteboard coding! :) Part of this is feeling out how well it can work with existing languages, and what's needed to make that a better experience. This is one .cpp file from the project laid out a bit.

@bryanedwardhill I’m in, and please tell us more about your favorite act structures :)

So in practice, let’s say you’re working with a FIVE ACT STRUCTURE (which I do) — consider having one of those feed lines and character responses in EACH ACT that clearly illustrates where a character is in their arc. Might help your script.

I’m studying Nolan’s Batman films and I’m noticing all the effective “feed lines” in the scripts. What’s a “feed line?” It’s my term for a line that’s there to set up a character for a zinger — often as a question. In THE DARK KNIGHT…

If you want to learn more about Matt's work here's his newest library explaining these position strings: github.com/mweidner037/po…

I've been heads down working on live editing for my storytech startup and just found out about @MatthewWeidner3 and his research that improves on collaborative ordering. Props to you Matt! Creating a lexicographic ordering for your Fugue trees was a really good idea :)
