A couple years ago my brilliant and charming partner @RRombom offhandedly mentioned that someone was making a movie about a piece she reported for her Long Island high school newspaper.

@waynedorio @DanMalloyCT @SteveStafstrom @MikeLawlor @xtina4justice @jkangbrown Wayne great perspective, thanks for sharing. One question: you mention that the DOC budget has only decreased $3M since 2008 — are those numbers adjusted for inflation?

Thanks to all who shared their expertise allowing me to explain CT's criminal justice gains. @DanMalloyCT, @SteveStafstrom, @MikeLawlor, Melvin Medina, @xtina4justice, and @jkangbrown. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Love this project!

@aviflombaum Oh yeah I browse JavaScript off for all by default. It’s such a pain in the ass, I love it.

I've started getting super strict with my browser privacy. At this point I'd rather a site break and I whitelist stuff than just let sites run amuck. Like I just noticed a broken stripe checkout on a site and no problem, whitelisted checkout.stripe.com.

@KTmBoyle @chr1sa It was from the same producer(s) I think, which would explain why subsequent seasons felt like a more high-brow 24.

@chr1sa Another good one. Homeland filled the void that 24 left.

I’ve long said that tech’s greatest film is The Social Network (2011), and that like Wall Street (1987), it popularized an industry/culture and led to a surge of young people moving West to build. There was an equivalent cultural force for DC, but it happened with two shows and split down party lines: The West Wing for progressives (1999-2006) and 24 for conservatives (2001-2010). Chances are if you met someone who moved to DC at the height of those shows, they were obsessed with one or both.

@aviflombaum You can do anything! But isn’t worth it imho unless you really _need_ to for some reason. Even folks that send a lot of email (me in past lives), don’t typically go that route because the overhead isn’t worth it.

It seems like it's basically impossible to run your own email infrastructure.

I know $12 USD is a lot of money for some people, so to celebrate 400 sales, I'm giving away 400 copies of How Integers and Floats Work (honour system: only if $12 is a lot for you!) Here's the link, enter code BUYONEGIVEONE at checkout to get a free copy store.wizardzines.com/products/how-i…

O cara compilou todos os barulhos de EJECT que existe num vídeo só e eu não sabia que tinha tanta saudades desse barulhinho até me sentir totalmente satisfeito com esse vídeo. É quase aquelas doideiras de sentir tesão em pé e etc. Mas ficou bem bom! 👇🏾

@aviflombaum I’ve reached a state of tortured acceptance by thinking about components as ‘mono’ components — they have all the js, css, and html _right_ there.

Look I'm all in, I'm building the app in React, I'm not turning around, there are parts I'm enjoying, but all in all, it's absolutely insanity to think that has improved the web developer experience at all for the majority of developers. My biggest takeaway is that more JS is the answer to all of problems. Any ecosystem where more is the solution isn't aligned with my values. I miss how much Rails encourages you to do less, to remove bloat, and gives you just the right amount of space to put everything.

@aviflombaum Ctrl for meee This simple change fixed my RSI ~15 years ago

What should I remap my caps lock key too? I never want caps lock on.

@JackMcCloy Blah that sucks. Do you think this and these sorts of things are something you’d pay to not worry about?

the cloud: the domain I use for email didn't auto-renew properly, so I haven't received any incoming emails for ~24 hours the silver lining: I got to learn a lot about MX records today

@RickWebb @LGAairport Haha all those big ass glass windows aren’t cheap

@RickWebb @LGAairport Five Guys got pricey

If you’re a Googler or Xoogler who thinks every company should have a Memegen, we’d love to talk

omg i feel like I witnessed the future of UI state management today

@cashion Only watched the first 40 seconds, but this sweeping and cleaning the basement activity look exactly like my type of game (I don't know anything about valorant)

This skin line brings me all the feels

(UPDATED) TONIGHT'S AURORA FORECAST: Based on current data, we've moved our possible Northern Lights viewing farther south. A moderate, strong, or severe geomagnetic storm is possible. Aurora viewing is likely in the United States tonight as Earth is impacted by a strong solar storm. The most favorable cloud conditions look to be over the Midwest, Plains and parts of the Great Lakes and less favorable conditions in the Northeast and Northwest.

The real multi-dimensional chess move at this stage from a product perspective is to make the blue check something *anyone* can buy for others

@fredbenenson @hspter Oof that diagram

@hspter This is it exactly! And it also solves the blank canvas problem by giving you something to start refining… (I also think it’s quirkiness and difficulty with the truth is part of what endears us to it - it’s foibles maybe make it seem more relatable)

That quote from Douglas Adam’s about programming needs to be revisited for coding with AI: “I am rarely happier than when spending entire day refactoring AI generated code when it would otherwise take me a good ten seconds to write by hand.”
