Over the past 8 days, I received over 100 PRs on the languages repo with additions and improvements. - A bunch of languages were added - Some implementations got tweaks to modify performance - The run script now uses hyperfine for timing Thanks to all the contributors.

Canadian founders: Stop modeling yourself after Canadian companies or leader. Think global, skip the risk-averse VCs, and build for the world. Play bigger. Don’t ask for permission—just go.

@interplanetary @Tesla Our Model S has required more service visits than all my previous cars combined. I don’t think I could ever buy another @Tesla, not because the car had issues, but because how poor the Tesla service experience is.

In for my 11th @Tesla service visit in 4 years of owning one. Usually a disappointing and frustrating experience. We’ll see how it goes today.

Yes, please

@realgeordierose @IkkyusDen @realgeordierose I am afraid you will find yourself arguing people with who honestly believe psychedelics are a gateway to the supernatural, it is not going to a productive exchange

Hey tpot what do we *actually* think about psychedelics? I have met a handful of deeply awake people who've profited greatly from them. But most psychedelicists just seem to become a different brand of deeply deluded. What's going on there?

@realgeordierose @JoePNWW Man… I am so sorry to hear that, I hope they will be ok 😞

@realgeordierose @JoePNWW It’s ok, I totally understand

@realgeordierose @JoePNWW Fair enough, I am just worried about someone I know and I wonder if your experience could help 😞

@realgeordierose @JoePNWW Hi Geordie, I very much would like to hear more about this, could you please DM me?
