@jmoiron For years I didn't understand why cars in the UK seemed to have much better fuel economy than in the US and I assumed they were just smaller and better cars until I finally learned that the UK gallon is 20% larger (4.5 Litres vs 3.78 Litres). https://t.co/ANAJIh9gKT

@jmoiron Whoa, I did not know that there was a NUMBER GIRL revival. Can SUPERCAR also get back together please? https://t.co/IdHpXHSJWI
@jmoiron RT @lbernail: It all started with DNS issues. Business as usual right? A month later, we were reading rp_filter code in the kernel to under…
@jmoiron @katie_hockman Welcome, feel free to reach out 👍
@jmoiron @bethcodes @ade_oshineye My approach: focus on data structures and APIs/interfaces. I write docs super early; if things get too busy or muddled, that's my feedback. When the structure stabilizes, I start testing. Sounds like we read the same signals in different ways.
@jmoiron I wrote a bit about test driven design and mocks and why I'm not that into them: https://t.co/89nhgnx9mK
@jmoiron @jkupferman JetBlue did this at T5 JFK for a while, through a sub contractor. Not sure if it's still available.
@jmoiron @discordianfish @juliusvolz it's because you're viewing it as a count, and the interval changes as you zoom out: https://t.co/wmQeF94D3n
@jmoiron @epcjones "sharded" is untainted by the CAP theorem is my guess as to why. I can't get people to give up "transpiler" because excluding "real" compilers is a meaningful distinction to them.
@jmoiron @elithrar You get 3hr in a queue instead it's very civilized.
@jmoiron @chimeracoder @goinggodotnet Function should answer its question with the bool and indicate a problem answering that question with an error, like any other, IMHO. Don't make users learn an error taxonomy to know a non-error result.
@jmoiron Noticing this new genre of great resignation post: "These past 3 years at Google represented the realization of a childhood dream of mine, and after this incredible journey I am moving on to new exciting challenges!"
@jmoiron Staggering amount of suffering associated with this tournament. There have been more deaths of migrant workers building World Cup 2022 infrastructure than estimated civilian deaths to date in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine: https://t.co/VAVEi9Jbon
@jmoiron There can be no more conclusive proof of dopeness. https://t.co/ZNBv588Wu5
@jmoiron @seldo We didn't conclusively know that the earth moved until Bessel's observation of stellar parallax in 1838. We didn't know for sure that comets were mostly water (dirty snowball) until the the Giotto probe met up with Halley's Comet in 1986.
@jmoiron @barelyreaper Yeah, that's the other side, a key feature. Occasionally this also reduces the volume to zero, another bonus.
@jmoiron Love the feature of wireless earbuds where the lightest brush against the right one activates my phone's assistant and interrupts everything for 30 seconds.
@jmoiron @goinggodotnet big apple
@jmoiron @simonw To pick on the DNS example; is configuring WIFI programming? If not, why DNS? Because it's text? Configuring DNS is technically way more challenging than a lot of programming is, but that doesn't necessarily make it programming.
@jmoiron @simonw I like your definition; programming is way more than software development. However, we (industry) devalue technical non-programming work way too much. Trying to redress this by calling some of it "programming" is moving the gates, not eliminating the gatekeepers.
@jmoiron Unbelievable. It's bad enough on its own, but it also features a player who has been fined for domestic violence. Maybe tweet about the @BlackFerns? https://t.co/0cyy2p5f13
@jmoiron There's some "no true scotsman" to this, because labeling is fraught and a lot of leftists are internationalists (I can't reconcile cooperative structures at home but not abroad), but I don't know many alternatives for the thoughts of people who are primarily blaming NATO. https:...
@jmoiron In blaming NATO expansion more than the actual invading nation, this crowd is making a lot of questionable assumptions about Putin being a good faith actor on the alternate timeline.
@jmoiron Implicit is that, without western imperialism, self-determination would fill the vacuum, not non-western sources of imperialist aggression. This conflict is a clear challenge to that unless they can find a way to blame NATO.
