It would be fun if small nuclear reactors took off and we got nuclear disarmament as prices for uranium made it financially unviable to maintain and build nuclear weapons

Had @zotero existed when I was in high school I don't know what the librarians would have had left to teach.

Trying to explain to the kids that when I was a kid things you ordered came in 4-6 weeks. I don't think we talk enough about what a marvel the modern supply chain is.

Would anybody be interested in joining a class action lawsuit against @Pinterest on behalf of husbands who have to do home renovation projects because of some photos their wives saw on there?

95.6% of the DNS queries I block on my network are bullshit tracker URLs from my @onepeloton bike and tread. WTF? newrelic and segment.io (twilio). 34 000 queries for the bike and 21 500 for the treadmill in the last 24 hours.

It is the small things sometimes. Like the loading animation on this site acmespring.com/our-springs/c… I'm just in love with what @purpleprinceweb did on this page. Every type of spring loads differently too! acmespring.com/our-springs/t…

Redux is an over complicated tool which serves to make people feel better about having global state. It encourages coupling through ridiculous global events which could better be solved by allowing components to be self contained and not beholden to n-tier nonsense

Here is the deal, recruiters: When you say "urgent need" that says to me that one of the following is true
1. The last person left in a hurry for good reason
2. The company isn't good at planning
3. You forgot about this posting
None of these make me want to apply

People love the TortoiseSVN client. But it’s, well, a tortoise 🐢. And P4EXP (Helix Core) is a hare 🐇.

I really like these @bar_built protein bars but they have just terrible quality control. Yesterday's bar was missing half its chocolate. Today's wasn't properly sealed.

I sure don't feel like we're on the path to the Star Trek future. Elysium maybe.
