jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron @clofresh Rez was "just a rail shooter" but I'd never really experienced storytelling that was so thoroughly "through the medium" of a video game. SotC was a lot like that too; both sparse and non-verbal stories, but it was also the first game I felt captured a cinematic grande...

@jmoiron people on twitter accusing other people on twitter of being 'performative'

@jmoiron haiku: bad cassandra node warned us that it would soon fail but did we listen?

@jmoiron Still one of my favourite postmortems. https://t.co/Xtq38ZaD8g

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast "is there any way I can disallow this try"

@jmoiron @calebspare @nelhage It's noticeably a lot heavier as well.

@jmoiron @elithrar The visuals are amazing, and I don't mind departing from the books, but it somehow lacks atmosphere. After our first introduction to Trantor, the focus shifts to palace intrigue. Terminus is a small outpost. Synnax is a small settlement. It all feels very small.

@jmoiron @mholt6 @GMMeyer Kinda similar issue with haptics, where I can turn them off for the keyboard or w/e, but to disable haptic response from apps (eg touching a youtube video to bring up the UI) I have to.. entirely disable all vibration, which I depend upon for notifications.

@jmoiron @mholt6 @GMMeyer Yes, but then you lose the gestures if you do that.

@jmoiron @GMMeyer The gestures work mostly. Swipe to go back is an attempt to try and get rid of the buttons, but I love the buttons and hate not having them (that includes on iOS)

@jmoiron Also, forcing me to have haptics on in some way because I want vibrate notifications is bad.

@jmoiron Android 12 gesture system where swipe left and swipe right both mean "back" makes no sense and it being either/or makes me miss the hybrid gesture/3 button system from 11 almost immediately.

@jmoiron This double edged sword is why data science is dominated by Python, and why Python data science libraries are not written in Python. It's just not always possible to build efficient code on a stack of efficiency-optional libraries. https://t.co/Dvtgl0Oy9E

@jmoiron @dgryski @agoX @_tessr @OiramYtrap @Rigerhit2047 zh or "voiced sh" is how i explain the sound of the letter "s" in european portuguese to people, but this distinction isn't widely understood (I did not really understand/internalize it until I studied Japanese)

@jmoiron "No, there's an 'I' in it.. no, before the 'R'. Yeah, sure, that's fine. Yeah, haha, tough time in grade school." https://t.co/jZJB9FCKcd

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast cometh the hour

@jmoiron The focus on "never forget" feels more like misdirection every year, an excuse to "never remember" the shameful jingoism that followed, a refusal to reckon with the inhumanity of the path we chose.

@jmoiron RT @RepJayapal: We must acknowledge the cruel policies our government implemented to unfairly target Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South As…

@jmoiron I wish spotify and shopify did not look identical to my brain.

@jmoiron @olix0r very sad to report that my first reaction to this was "oh that makes sense, theropods typically could not pronate their hands", maybe i have been watching too many paleontology videos

@jmoiron @copyconstruct May be a little biased, but I've found tracing to be really useful at chasing outlier latency. It also will often reveal that you are not measuring something that is nonetheless taking significant time. It's hard to track parallel sub requests with logs.
