@KishoreFooted @sriramk If you're talking about OS authors who directly made a lot of money I don't have good answers. But if you mean who financially benefited from OS. Pretty much any modern company. So Google is probably the answer to your question.

@sriramk But that’s a different question. I asked about financial returns

@ajay_in_italy @teddygoff Great book though. A lot of stuff in there, but at it's heart it's about a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution.

@tyjerome_ @DreHunter I'd listen Ty

If @DreHunter & I started a podcast, who’s listening ?

@browyolks And that's why...you don't place conference champ futures bets.

That baby put a hex on Devin Booker and you can’t convince me otherwise

@browyolks Praxis? We talking about praxis? Not the fame. Not the fame. Praxis.

Both things can be true at once: 1) Our hegemonic two-party system sucks and disenfranchises millions of working-class & marginalized ppl. 2) Your dumb ass has no idea how to fix it, barely understands civics, and is more interested in countercultural aesthetics than praxis.

@browyolks Yea there's no quality in that

@m_benami Agree. Think about a 135-132 NBA game with 50 combined fouls and 70 combined 3-pt attempts. Sure, it’s high-scoring, which is normally a good thing. But no rhythm, no defense. Just sloppy fouls and volume shooting.

I’m sorry, but this Barça-Bayern match sucks. I guess it doesn’t help that i dislike both teams, but i was expecting a lot more quality from both teams. Reminds me of CONCACAF Champions League, when it’s like Club América vs. Philadelphia Union and both teams are rly imbalanced.

@browyolks @korndiddy Ah yes I actually saw that, dumb me

@m_benami @korndiddy Atlanta, S2 E6, “Teddy Perkins”

Using only a GIF what’s the one episode of TV you’ve rewatched the most?

@browyolks @korndiddy What the heck is that

@rickymdna Damn I just said to myself, this is a perfect opportunity to read something on my long list of things to read instead of going on Twitter. I went on Twitter anyway and this was the first tweet at the top of my feed. Thank you.

@mdlayher @GojiraGuitar Yea didn't want to say anything but you need to have a talk with your buddy

@m_benami lol and my buddy @GojiraGuitar said EST in his response. This madness has to end!

I am 28 years old and still cannot remember if my current time zone is US EST or EDT at any given time. #justmattlayherthings

@ShwetaHari @digitalocean @icosahedral @archanaikamath @mattpapi @michaelbenami Thanks shweta! This is my handle. Sorry other Michael.

Most of my time @digitalocean involved building VPC product and teams from ground up! So proud of @icosahedral @archanaikamath @mattpapi @michaelbenami and everyone who made this happen🎉❤️

@mdlayher You mean soda?

I pretty much never keep pop at home these days, but when I saw that Mountain Dew Baja Blast was back in cans, I caved. So sugary, but so tasty. #bajablast

@teddygoff @ErinELindsay Embrace the wave. Much less awkward than saying goodbye to ppl who are in the process of hanging up on you.

@ErinELindsay About everyone. The urge to wave at the end of a Zoom is real and persistent.

@kylejguy Yea you were a real Henry Rohengardner out there.

Yo this game was unreal 😂😂

@teddygoff Tweet could use some commas

An honest-to-god question I have is whether a pundit who subscribes to a conspiracy theory that a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president would have celebrated his execution in Central Park ought to be given a continued platform to comment publicly on this race.

@_rsc Appreciate the response Russ, thanks.

@m_benami runtime/debug.FreeOSMemory should do it. We're also working on making the default give-back a bit faster. It is slower than it really needs to be. (You don't want to give back immediately, in case there's another allocation coming up real soon.)

Big fan of Rust and not a zealot about language choice. Use the tool that works best for you. There are lots of situations and reasons why Rust might be the right choice for you. And this is a well-written post. But! ... 1/2 blog.discordapp.com/why-discord-is…

@_rsc Any tips on how to make Go hold on to less memory that has been GC'd but not returned to the OS? pprof shows a lot of idle bytes for most Go programs I look at.

... Don't make decisions about Go's performance based on a release from mid-2017 (Go 1.9.2). Lots has gotten better since then but especially the garbage collector's handling of very large heaps. Best way to make a #golang program faster: update to the latest version of Go! 2/2

@browyolks @AlannaBennett Not that anyone's gonna see this in the main thread, but the Aaron Copland "He Got Game" soundtrack is possibly my favorite album of all time. Great for working. Just make sure it's the Copland, not the public enemy one. Tho that's also great, but for different purposes.

@AlannaBennett Alex Somers, “Captain Fantastic”

Unsurprisingly the Little Women score is perfect writing music. Pls tell me other scores and soundtracks that are perfect writing music, I want to make a playlist or three.
