🎶 So, people think you're funny? How do we get those people's money? 🎶 The shape and scansion of that lyric does it for me! Very audio stim. (2:02) youtube.com/watch?v=Le0vB1TgOjw

Quote unquote forever quote unquote Forever somehow equals "up to 1 month" What do words even mean anymore

Gods I love Ruby: # in plan.rb def free? = trial? || demo? def billable? = !free?

*Beta testers wanted* Do you use ADP, Paycom, Workday, UKG, Oracle Taleo? On a client project with integration from user's HRIS system to bulk import employees I've tested lots with sandbox synthetic data, but not a real org's real world integration. Could you beta test it with me?

Command-R in my text editor is: toggle the [R]ight sidebar of tools Command-R in Slack is: refresh the world (just like a web browser) Command-. in Slack is: hide the right sidebar (thread/profile/etc) — …the number of times I refresh Slack instead of hiding sidebar 😡

#lazyweb naming advice— a home server; vision statement is roughly… what the HomePod should've been indieweb values, own all of your data, self host your services, private on local network by default, optional public sharing/hosting, access control, peer to peer messaging (LoRa), … name ideas?

Soooo many things that people want "agents" to do or are marketing agents as being able to do, could just be a script. And optionally a cron job for scheduled or recurring. 🤖

What are we calling the "gas pedal" in EVs? #Skeuomorphism

Please please please, I'm begging you… if you're speaking into a microphone —on stage, in an interview, on a podcast— don't rest your chin on your hand! It makes you mumbly and blocks the microphone's audio quality ——— (Especially as a podcast host… Like, a single damn about your craft FFS)

Does this hand gesture mean something else? Again? Most of my life 👌🏻 meant: "ok" literally or "good" "acknowledged" generally affirmative During Trump v1 👌🏻 got coopted to mean: 3%, III%, Threeper, Three Percenters White supremacist Lately I've see it a lot again. Does it mean good? Or fash?

How do I watch #MarchMadness this year? 🏀 #NCAA #wbb I don't have any streaming accounts I'm happy to buy one for a couple months, if I get all of the tournament. But I won't buy multiples if it's split up. Does ESPN cover this? …without also having local cable?

The script writing voice of LLMs is so fucking annoying. YouTube videos written by an LLM, whether read by a human or an AI generated voice, is so obvious. It always uses triples. "Something bigger, something personal, something legendary" And a phrase like "but here's the thing…"

Luddites were not fundamentally anti-tEcHnOLoGy —— Sabotage was a tactic Against their masters Not a position unto itself They were a labor movement/moment Their grievance was, at its core, about capitalism Through the frame of machines But not about the machines

S3 bucket as macOS folder? ——— Is there a way to treat an S3 bucket like a folder in macOS? Like ~/Dropbox, but backed by S3* Or maybe, is there a way to do this with Transmit (by PDX hometown heroes Panic)? * or other providers hypothetically

Remember the ol’ jingle, friends: “Cops and feds go hand in hand” 🎶

I think I just freaked the person charging their car next to me the fuck out I unplugged the charger from my car, waiting on the computer to reset so I could plug back in and try again* I did a magic spell cast / force push / super power energy blast hand gesture… …and the lights all flickered

Mongolia and Haiti correctly identified that the Winter Olympics are primarily a chance to design baller cold weather uniforms

Blue hat in the back of the line 🧢

I remember the lessons shared from HK protests on how to trap and fizzle out a tear gas canister with a traffic cone and water thru the top What I don't remember is if anyone ever tried catching them directly into pouch or something of water (Logistics aside) Is that a bad chemistry idea to try?

The four common number checks we do are: negative, zero, one, many In #Ruby, we have… num = 123 num.negative? #=> false num.zero? #=> false num.positive? #=> true num > 1 #=> true IMO, it feels like Numeric needs a method for "positive and more than one" .many? .plural? something like that
