@wyntonmarsalis @SydOperaHouse @jazzdotorg @sydsymph @BenNorthey @sydphil I love the obvious differences between the 2 groups. Also, it seems like the plunger is on the wrong trumpet.

A heartfelt thank you to all the great musicians who breathed life into “All Rise” over two unforgettable nights at @SydOperaHouse. The @jazzdotorg Orchestra and the @sydsymph under the masterful guidance of Maestro @BenNorthey, The @sydphil Choirs, singers from The @consirtofm, and the soloists, Michelle Nicolle and Emma Pearson. Check out some photos from Friday night's performance. (📷 by: Luigi Beverelli)

@PhysInHistory @ProfFeynman I love this quote, but he died in what year?

@wil_da_beast630 I am FOR individual liberty, personal responsibility, family, limited government, etc, this is not hard. I am NOT FOR social programs that are dictated by the government.

An interesting question for my right-wing buddies: what are you FOR? We all know "the Commies are lying" - sex is real, so is IQ, you need police, etc. But, the left does have a few real ideas, like health care. What are your/our social programs and future plans?

@freebsdfrau @nixcraft Ha ha, trick's on you! $ <ctrl+x> <ctrl+v> GNU bash, version 5.2.15(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21.6.0) $ <ctrl+x> <ctrl+e> -bash: emacs: command not found

@nixcraft I would have been more evil. I would have said “try Ctl-X, Ctl-E” then grabbed popcorn and watched people attempt to exit

1. Open your #Linux or #Unix terminal. 2. Press Ctrl + x Ctrl + v 3. What does it says?

@libsoftiktok @SongFinderBot

@JomboyMedia Loud, obnoxious, and boorish. He's the type of fan that makes other fans want to be somewhere else, anywhere else.

Philly fans are in their bag 💀

@goinggodotnet IMHO this is the bible - git-scm.com/book/en/v2. Also go-git is an implementation library that's interesting to study.

I'm always embarrased by my lack of real working knowledge and understanding of git. I know the basics, but sometimes that's not enough. Curious if anyone knows of any good tutorials either in written word or video?

@andrew_anagnost Interesting insight, thank you.

1/3 I’m judging High School speech and debate face to face today for the first time in almost three years. It was all on zoom during COVID. These kids are incredibly diverse and amazing to listen to.

@GrasselTom +1 Tom, thank you for being a great role model for our boys.

Had a parent come thank me today for all the coaching I’ve done for their kid. But also for encouraging them to pursue their education and relationships with friends and family with the same vigor as their sport. Love to hear that. I always try to coach beyond the field.

@sphirani 100%, it's a pain all around. I tried it various times throughout and was joyfully relieved when going back to macos or windows. With that said, I highly recommend it, great learnings.

For all the love I have for Linux, using it as a desktop machine is a pain when it comes to bluetooth and battery life. Mac for laptop, Linux for servers - that's what I am going to stick with.

@AnnLesbyPhD I took this very familiar picture yesterday.

@lizzywol Milton Friedman's Free to Choose should be required reading material for all students and policy makers worldwide (or watch @ freetochoosenetwork.org)

god i hate it when i open up my computer in the morning and see all the porn my husband was watching after i fell asleep, you'd think he could at least close the tab or use incognito or something

@nut_history That kid is a natural born hitter/killer.

This little dude gives me life.

@wyntonmarsalis @jazzdotorg @TheShedd We're looking forward to tomorrow in Portland. Can you open with "Sheik Of Araby?" Pretty please?

A clip from today’s “Jazz for Young People: What is the Meaning of Jazz?” with @jazzdotorg Orchestra at @TheShedd in Eugene, OR

@UnixToolTip Even shorter still ... awk '{t+=NF};END{print t}' And what's the purpose of the original `total+0`?

Awk script to count the number of words in a file: awk '{ total = total + NF }; END { print total+0 }'

@theallinpod @antoniogm @Jason I just re-read the @antoniogm's book and realized that @chamath is called out in the fb boot camp chapter. After 20m of haranguing, "so just fucking do it," he concluded. Classic!

.@antoniogm according to @Jason: -- really smart guy -- uses a lot of big words -- wrote chaos monkeys

@ALLIN_STATS @singhkays @iamKeerat @theallinpod Congrats on the call out! I was listening.

This is us today! @singhkays and @iamKeerat When you hear yourself get mentioned on the nation's hottest podcast 🔥 @theallinpod

@EricsElectrons @nickiclyne Great list. And +1 for @JonHaidt.

@nickiclyne There’s more than a few: 1. Road to Reality by Roger Penrose 2. The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene 3. 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene 4. Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell 5. The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt

What's a book that set you on a completely different life path?

@rootkovska While I appreciate and agree with your sentiment, it seems awfully idealistic given the pervasiveness of the virus and lack of vaccine.

Do not invite me to "virtual" events.

@peterbourgon @kellabyte I read the transcript and agree with your air quotes @peterbourgon. It's exhausting coddling the american mind (see J Haidt)

Poke my head out to the community for the first time since March and I had a really negative experience in the #golang community. Fun times. I’ll go back to my rabbit hole now.
