@DenneyDara I can help out on a space in Flatiron. residentcompanyclub.com

Does anyone in NYC have an office space (preferably a private room) that I can rent for the next month? I want to crank on some YouTube videos but hate renting peerspaces every other day. Manhattan or Brooklyn works.

@HellGateNY @NYCCouncil whiffing some easy points is a pretty bad sign

Julie Menin's City Council will not override Eric Adams's vetoes on a bill that is vehemently opposed by the real estate industry, and one that would require the NYPD to give its civilian oversight board direct access to body camera footage. hellgatenyc.com/city-council-a…

@TMLutas @BootlessBuck @ID_AA_Carmack @Jonathan_Blow You’re confusing UI frameworks with OS's. When Steve Jobs announced the iPhone, he literally said: “It runs OS X.” It would be more accurate to describe iPhoneOS as a skin over Darwin than as an OS.

@BootlessBuck @ID_AA_Carmack @Jonathan_Blow So Linux wasn't a new OS? OS X wasn't a new OS? Android wasn't a new OS? How about Newton OS?

I had been meaning to comment on @Jonathan_Blow’s “Why can’t we even conceive of writing a new OS today” post. Coincidentally, I just got an email that opened with: ——————————————— Hey John, 2 years ago I pitched you LIBBA - a dedicated OS for smart glasses. You were sceptical, your main concern was that a custom OS rarely justifies itself: cost, shelf life, and developer burden outweigh the benefits. You were right. ——————————————— I deeply love the ideals of clear, efficient programs that do their job without baggage, and I have always been very sympathetic to efforts like Oberon, Plan 9, and even TempleOS. But building a new operating system today doesn’t make any product sense. Meta spent a lot of resources working on a fully custom XROS, over my rather strenuous objections. They had top tier engineering talent, tons of support, and they were producing high quality code and docs. It was a best case scenario from a “new OS” perspective, and, as one of the engineers put it, “If we can’t do it, who could?” I wish I could drop (so many of) my old internal posts publicly, since I don’t really have the incentive to relitigate the arguments today – they were carefully considered and prescient. They also got me reported to HR by the manager of the XROS effort for supposedly making his team members feel bad, but I expect many of them would acknowledge in hindsight that the Meta products would not be in a better place today if the new OS effort had been rammed into them. I can only really see a new general purpose OS arriving due to essentially sacrificing a highly successful product’s optimality to the goal of birthing the new OS, and I wouldn’t do that myself as a stakeholder. To make something really different, and not get drawn into the gravity well of existing solutions, you practically need an isolated monastic order of computer engineers. Which was sort of Plan 9…

@lindsayballant I’d spend the weekend maxing out on impossible burgers soylent and amino acids in hopes of mutant powers, longshot but you don’t get these opportunities very often

Anyway, if anyone has real advice on wasp stings, I’ll let my boyfriend know plz and thank you 🙏 He’s taken Benadryl and has an ice pack on it

hundreds of billions of dollars invested, jobs destroyed, higher electric bills, environmental harm and heath issues created—to come up with answers like this

@Reverend_Scott you garbage can’t

How do I throw away a garbage can?

@avidseries counterpoint: they were always like this

@laurenbalik Okay, I’ll bite. If no one cares, than how is that creating stress that increases resiliency

Six Flags 🎢 is an example of an antifragile company. Six Flags is named for the six flags that have flown over Texas: -Spain -France -Mexico -Republic of Texas -United States of America -Confederate States of America Several years ago when everyone was going around toppling statues, nobody came for Six Flags, even though one of the flags represents the Confederacy. High schools were renamed. Plaques were taken down. Nobody came to rename Six Flags to Five Flags. Six Flags is still Six Flags today and one of the flags is Mexican and one of the flags is Confederate so there's a bit in there to piss off all kinds of political types on all sides. 🌈🙏

@meodai hey while you’re in there could you maybe talk to them about P3 color support

Figma just brought me on for a project. Excited (and a little nervous) — it’s that rare overlap of my pure love for color systems and my client work. Obviously, I can’t share more.

@JVMonte2 Janet Weiss

Who’s the best drummer you’ve ever seen live?

@tonyhawktruther I thought the middle one was Jack White

Idk who that is on the right but she’s giving MAGA vibes and it’s gross

@NoBikeLanes the wall street journal is a fake source?

BULLSHITTTTTT TransAlt if you’re gonna come up with fake sources at least make it believable.

@bennpeifert @benegotherit I’m going to wait on her to confirm, if you don’t mind, given this already a stalking situation and deserves an abundance of precaution. also X has a new requirement re: DMs to verified (eye-roll), so you'll need to temporarily follow me. Or reach out on Bsky instead.

@Eric_WVGG @benegotherit thanks, much appreciated. honey is busy at the moment and has assigned me to handle, my dm's are open

Someone’s impersonating me on bsky which is extremely odd because there are about ten people on that app. What’s their angle? Regardless, heads up if you’re over there this person isn’t really me

@kittystremy odometer birthday?

I had a great birthday weekend but I'm going to be honest if I go back and look through my posts from the last week... the energy is Whack
