@jmoiron @chimeracoder "we want that Ina Garten ambience of throwing together some amuse-bouche for the guests and having a casual glass in the kitchen, but we don't want to actually make anything the help can do that"

@jmoiron @goinggodotnet According to c2, it's called a spike because it's "end to end, but very thin" https://t.co/vN7UJEAcEx. I've always thought of it as "the most crude way to pierce through a barrier (ie, the unknown parts of your problem)"; I like "tracer" for focusing on a minimal ...
@jmoiron @simonw @tmcw The financial crisis exposed how much of the pay gap for finance jobs was discretionary (the entire difference was bonus); from a NYC perspective, that really felt like the inflection point.
@jmoiron Roger Federer played the most exquisite tennis I've ever seen. Gonna miss it.
@jmoiron @buckwilson @jkupferman lets double click on this
@jmoiron @milosgajdos I was thinking about that match and fed/roddick a few years prior as I was watching. Shame it wasn't a final.
@jmoiron Sinner/Alcaraz last night was an all time great.
@jmoiron @copyconstruct @YuriShkuro I come to feel very similarly about code that has no testing and code that has no instrumentation. Black box is not quite a substitute in either case.
@jmoiron @buckwilson What do you like about them? I've always gone closed because I like the isolation.
@jmoiron Abstraction Discourse: abstractions for things I'm familiar with are bad, you can't be good (like me) without knowing them.. also, abstractions for things I'm unfamiliar with are good, they are not important and I shouldn't have to know them.
@jmoiron This great exploration of TDD (https://t.co/wRKbkhZEtj) by @hillelogram explores a lot of issues with "TDD maximalism" that I have noticed over my own career and wrote about earlier this year: https://t.co/89nhgnx9mK
@jmoiron Encourage people eager to support Rushdie with renewed enthusiasm for Satanic Verses to also check out Midnight's Children, one of my favourite novels, and one of the most influential of the 20th century.
@jmoiron So Amnesty's report suggests the ethical course of action against an invading army shelling your cities and deporting your citizens is to take up positions in a nearby forest and wait for engagement?
@jmoiron @LordOmlette Did you throw it off a building
@jmoiron @bryanl observation -> hypothesis -> test
Trying to learn directly from data sounds unbiased but in practice it isn't; data is always missing some correlations and relationships that are intrinsically embedded within experience.
@jmoiron Increasingly of the opinion that purely technical comparisons of Monolith/Microservice or Multi/Monorepo miss the point. The primary goal is to align the network effects in your infrastructure to those in your org structure.
@jmoiron @jehiah @illegal53NYC Carolyn Maloney helped kill the bike lane that was proposed for this street several years ago.
@jmoiron Peak Google user experience: missing my train because Google Pay got renamed to Wallet (pointlessly) and I couldn't find it.
@jmoiron @chimeracoder Very strong "why do I understand this Spanish guy so well" vibes off this vid.
@jmoiron RT @chimeracoder: Go programmers: What blog posts about Go have helped you personally?
Looking to compile a short list of blog posts that…
@jmoiron 50C in the Yukon last year. 50C in India and Pakistan in March this year. I know this EU heat wave is a serious health emergency, but we're not even close to "as bad as it gets."
@jmoiron If you're looking for a good explanation as to why JWST has these kinds of flares (called diffraction spikes), here's an article explaining it detail (but tldr: secondary mirror arm count + mirror shape): https://t.co/t9jCjFH2ns
@jmoiron The JWST flare pattern is instantly iconic. https://t.co/dNhEnuL5LL
@jmoiron RT @NASA: It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.
Previewed by @POTUS on July 11,…
@jmoiron @bytemask Is it on personal ID in the US? It's not on my (NY) license or my passport. Regardless, it reminds me of gun violence, which we can't measure or study due to pro-gun interests. In a racist society, I'd argue that we need this information; how/where is more complicate...
