For people who feel disconnected from friends and loved ones during quarantine: try a video chat where both sides cook the same dish (on the call) and then eat it together. So far, it's been the most effective activity for making you feel like you're in the same place.


Similarly, if you find yourself disambiguating between semantic meaning of variables via naming, you should probably be reaching for typing instead. Our ByteOffset and CharOffset types both wrap a u64, and have saved us many hours in avoided logic errors.

Protip: if you're using hashes as unique IDs for something, declare a special type for that ID. When the day comes that you add >70,000 somethings, you'll wish you could update a single class LocTextId { ... } instead of tracking down a zillion assignments to uint32_t's . 🙃

Wtf I posted a tweet linking out to an article about education and it straight up _does not appear on the list of tweets my profile_. If you look at replies, it's there. I'm not replying to a fucking article. I'm posting something with some goddamn context. What a travesty.


It is _deeply_ depressing that _I am not surprised_ to learn that the US education system has been _actively_ teaching students how to read _poorly_ for _decades_. (yes, this warrants that much formatting punctuation) apmreports.org/episode/2019/0…

How can he be Sleepy Joe if he's still giving a speech and it's past _my_ bedtime 😶


Twitter has become 50% ads for me, and all videos autoplay into an ad after they finish the first time. Elon ran this fucking platform into the ground. What a loss.


This is a b2b vs. b2c difference more than it is a generational one. Kleenex was founded in 1924, a month after International Business Machines.

We gave it a try with the cute startup names, and dropping vowels to be unique. Time to go back to “American Computing Corporation” or “US Steel”.
