@casio_juarez Perhaps it's just easier for them if you're all doped up?

@balister This joke is like...checks calendar... At least 2 decades late

@casio_juarez Mission accomplished

This is very true

@MichaelShurkin Americans buy food as packaged, branded products. No brands here.

Why isn't this a thing in the U.S.?

@theterg Had a similar experience recently with a lightning strike. Fascinating in how many ways an electronic device can die.

Anyway, technology is great. <sigh>

Lost power on tuesday when an underground transformer blew - well less of a power loss than an extended brown-out (60-80VAC for 20 hrs). Now i'm playing the delightful whack-a-mole variant of "what electronics look like they're working but have actually been damaged".

@leahprime @gordonbrander This is the only right answer

@gordonbrander Greg Egan's work, generally

@GreatDismal They don't make that kind of music anymore, the kids moved on

Good on these pig semen drones, and not a bad band name either.

It's showtime today for me at @socallinuxexpo presenting the Regolith 2 desktop environment.

@popey Too soon..too soon

Supreme Court votes 6-3 to make all text editors illegal, except Edlin.

@haerwu They also don't make those Open Hand stickers anymore either I'm guessing

My suitcase became left handed model... Wheels turn and block in a way that they hit my ankle if I use it right handed... They do not make this colour anymore...

@headius Yeah but at today's prices that coal-roll cost the jerk at least 6 bucks

TFW the pickup truck with a bald eagle window decal and whiskey plates coal-rolls you when the light turns green. 🙄

@hhariri It gets even grosser when the gradle build files are integrated with some megacorp internal build/dependency system that was not designed to model abstractions in similar ways to gradle. Nothing but despair

I'm sorry to say this but the biggest problem with JVM and Android development are build tools. I spend more time fighting build tools and getting things to actually work than anything else. You either need to be an expert in Gradle or a frustrated expert in Googling.

@a1rblader smh

@YossiKreinin But complexity is conserved. So the blocks don't disappear but instead reappear on another player's screen

Programming is tetris, you win by regularizing complexity away. The tetris blocks are coming at you too fast if workarounds are piling up instead of becoming unneeded & deleted. Blocks filling up the entire screen so you need a fresh one is when you lose and rewrite the program

Not only do you get this amazing heading, there are a lot more great things in @nntaleb 's wonderous Skin in the Game g.co/kgs/6AgLz6: II. FROM KANT TO FAT TONY

@SteveStuWill Yes but in this timeline there are no smartphones?
