Adding more people to a project

@DrTonyNader half of people are already smarter than the average.

Is it possible that evolution has already led to manifestations of higher intelligence of which we humans are not aware? Meaning could there be walking among us, human beings who may be intellectually superior to the average general population, but not even realize it. 1/2

@bagder curl is older than every dog on the 🌎

Many current curl users were not even born when I started working on it. I struggle to get that into my head.

@parijaatha we are the universe’s experiment at understanding itself, one KR at a time.

We are all made of star stuff and yet, we are figuring out how to score our key results

I only have ONE beta tester on my app's discord server but I'm still gonna publish announcements for posterity.

@mtrostyle I just launched elethink.app yesterday. :) Fortunately, it's a personal project so no deadlines but my own.

@mostlygeek Hey, that’s a really cool hidden gem you got! And, yes, 100%. I don’t know if it’s pride/ego, but my inability to concede has been counter-productive. Learning to accept sooner these days. To be fair, some things you just can’t do. Then it becomes a question of priority.

I wrote 1,500 words on our 30,000 lines of SwiftUI code in production. Spoilers: we love it, but you know there was going to be a “but”. blog.timing.is/swiftui-produc…

I only judge people that i’ve actually met. At least the bias will be 100% mine and not what someone else told me to think.

this level of support from an indie game developer was appreciated. @ShapescapeCo

buying @Minecraft mod packs for kids that don’t wind up working is 💔 for them and a pain for us. Worse is the @Microsoft (zero!) for refunds and fixing problems. such a shit experience …

@davedotca How did it work on snow yesterday?

Hey Lower Mainland people! You know that big storm we’re expecting over the next 24 hours? Well, I just bought a @ryobi_canada snowblower so for sure no snow for the next year. ❄️ You’re welcome. #bcstorm

Twitter's policy teams and execs were largely enforcing policy in a fair way but right-wing accounts get penalized more because they engage in more rule-breaking behaviors on average, rather than due to bias and discrimination on the part of the policy teams and execs.

@ericdrowell @MarcusForPeace sounds more like an architecture design problem right now. the language needs to work w/ OS for handling lots of little files being open an written to at the same time ? OS needs to handle lots of random write IO…

@MarcusForPeace Most important is processing speed - mostly writing large text files line by line, or chunks of text, from complex logic routines. Each text file to be built single threaded. But lots of files will need to be built in parallel. Not locally, on a server in cloud.

What is the best server-side language to use for really fast text file read and write processing?

I unfollowed Elon but he keeps coming up on my feed. Says I don’t follow him… i guess that system is broken or cache invalidation will get around to it

@realGeorgeHotz This statement is is both true and false at the same time. The perspective here is that tech culture in the last decade has stifled “innovation”. Too bad twitter‘s design sucks for having a decent dialog around these nuanced topics

Sorry, who did this? 😂

@CharleyMa definitely Thinking and Planning slows down Doing. Kind of the point ...

Still convinced OKRs are the ultimate google psyops to slow down startups…

What are some negative thoughts that you've had recently? #mentalhealth

@Love2Code to solve the hardest computer problem ever: get wysiwyg bullet lists working consistently

If you had a computer that was infinitely fast, with an infinite amount of memory, able to run any program that terminates and produce the output instantly, what program would you write for it?

@JoJoFromJerz learn about CBT. So many of the moments between then and now could have been better.

You meet your 13 year old self, but you can only tell them 3 words. What do you say and why?
