@jkakar I think so. Reality is too complex for our tiny brains, so we need to chop it up into tiny pieces that we imagine to be homogeneous

People are talking about types and working remotely again as if there’s One True Way(tm). ✨ Is this the human condition? 🦋

@jkakar Around here, they're called "circline fluorescent". They're not as cool as they look, they're just like a regular tube, except that the two ends touch, ruining the perfect symmetry of the circle at that point

I went to change a lightbulb in our upstairs hall for the first time since moving in eight years ago and discovered this donut shaped fluorescent tube. I’ve never seen a tube like this before.

@pagerduty Today I received an unsolicited sales call from one of your representatives, using the number I added to my PagerDuty profile for emergency notifications. I would like to know if it is your policy to use your customers' data in this way.

To support our move to microservices, we needed a new programming language that would support our growth. Read our comparison of all our top choices and what we had to do to make Kotlin a better version of Java. doordash.engineering/2021/05/04/mig… #kotlin #backend #engineering

@charleshooper If you have a very consistent daily/weekly schedule, a simple programmable one is probably fine. For me, having the heat turn on/off when I leave home and return is very nice, as well as being able to turn on the heat in the morning from bed

What's the actual value of a Nest thermostat versus just using a reasonably modern digital (non "smart", non internet connected) one? Is there a game changing feature I'm overlooking?

@AdultRiceSheaf face with bloody nose

@RossDargan I didn't know there was a water heater component. That seems like a better fit. What's wrong with the UI?

@mdz Hi - hope you don't mind the tweet! I saw your PR for hass for the hot tub. I'm writing one for the laz-y spa and went with a water heater rather than climate as it felt "more right", but the lovelace stuff for it SUCKS. any reason you went for climate?

@charleshooper Scan and discard

Twitter poll time! I have a bunch of old notebooks from college and I'm moving. It's been eight years and I haven't looked at them. What do I do with them?

@twidx @kf Free on HBO or $15 on Prime

@pvh I'm not sure how I would do that

Hi! Make sure your products work when the internet is down. That's all.

@DustinKirkland @apexclearing @TheSecondCity @HamiltonMusical @KatieSowers Those are all really great ideas!

@sil An excess of justice is being served

@mdz ha! nice. :) it's justified, though

see also "just", which is a word which you should just entirely remove from your vocabulary

@_foundress Except that you're driving toward the maelstrom!

😂🤞

@bcrypt Poor Delaware

tried to draw a map of the US after looking at maps of it for 3 days

@bcrypt I pay Google $12/mo for it

what would make you pay $10/month for an email service?

@DustinKirkland I predict this will be the next wave of spam and phishing techniques

Nothing, and I mean *NOTHING*, makes me read an email more carefully and urgently, than an Outlook message that starts, "*** would like to recall the message, '***".

@sevandyk You need a bigger display, my friend!

how it started: how it's going: I miss the office.

@LucaFilipozzi @evacide A temporary setback, surely
