@JeffDean @lazowska Congratulations!

@morganherlocker I’ve recently discovered essentially the same bug in the open-source Loop app, used for closed-loop insulin pump control, where entering .05g of carbohydrates is misparsed as 5g. History sure does repeat itself! https://t.co/6FIAYb6Lnl

@QuinnyPig My Miata is IOMONAD because it lets me go out and do things. (It’s a Haskell joke, and it’s really funny.)

Donald Trump, failed candidate of the past, can never get Kamala Harris’s name right, and suspects she changes her race whenever he’s not watching her. So not fair! “She’s a Kama-Kama-Kama-Kama-Kama CHAMELEON!”

@Dan11311665 @3YearLetterman I voted for McGovern.

And I told him I wanted some DIFFERENT news for a change and he said OKAY, and the rest is History 101! Now I’ll split up and look for clues!

I think it was my own phone call that convinced Biden. He’d been sending me dozens and dozens of emails and texts and TikToks for weeks, saying SEND MORE MONEY, asking me for just $2.02 TO START, or $4.56 BY MIDNIGHT, or an extra $11.11 TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY. ¼

(I said, is this really the White House, and they said yes sir, it is, sir.) OMG again!! I asked for JOE and they connected me! Triple OMG!!! I said is this JOE, and he said is this JOHN, and we were mutually authenticated! ¾

@LufthansaSu_ Thanks, but I’ve given up trying to retrieve my AirPods, and ordered another pair instead. Lufthansa is welcome to give my AirPods away to anyone who wants them. (I will need to unlock them remotely, which I am glad to do. Please let me know.)

[John DeTreville @DeTreville]

@Lufthansa_USA Arriving on LH 466, 4/11, I’d left my AirPods onboard, and wasn’t let back on to get them. I planned to come back after they’d been brought out and held.

But then I saw they’d flown to the Munich airport, where they now are. Can Lufthansa return my AirPods to me?

[John DeTreville @DeTreville]

@OLIVERLUFTHANSA Thanks, but I’ve given up trying to retrieve my AirPods, and ordered another pair instead. Lufthansa is welcome to give my AirPods away to anyone who wants them. (I will need to unlock them remotely, which I am glad to do. Please let me know.)

[John DeTreville @DeTreville]

@Lufthansa_USA I’ve now spoken with a couple of Lufthansa representatives, who tell me there is no way on Earth that Lufthansa can return my AirPods to me. They were lost by Lufthansa in San Diego, but I must fly from San Diego to Munich to pick them up. This seems absurd.

@elenasb_ The state of South Carolina was about the same. South Carolina used to go all west to, oh, the Pacific? Or somewhere T.B.D.? (This was inherited from the original Carolina following the initial North/South split.) Then most of the extra got taken back, then used to make Georgia.

@LindaScribbling @ActualBraun @3YearLetterman @StephenKing The very famous CAPTAIN of the Musketeers was the VERY famous fictional character CAPTAIN de Tréville, who was MY OWN umpty-twiddly-teen-times GREAT-grandfather!!! I agree with ANYTHING that @3YearLetterman and @StephenKing have to say on ANY topic!!!!! https://t.co/e2ON0tW6sU

@kevinb9n I used Guava at Google and loved it.

A good API lets me ignore all the work going on behind the scenes, as long as I know the implementation’s limitations.

APIs don’t have great ways to express all the work that humans do behind the scenes, and the limitations therein. I wish…

[John DeTreville @DeTreville]

@kevinb9n @Google Or maybe not, as my Twitter DMs seem to disappear. I’m on Mastodon as @[email protected]. All is well.

[John DeTreville @DeTreville]

@kevinb9n @Google Not too bad. Retired from Google a few years ago following workplace injury. More details in DM.

[John DeTreville @DeTreville]

@kevinb9n Kevin,

It’s so good to hear from you, however unexpectedly! Again, congratulations on your next great position!

I retired from Google about five years ago, concomitant with various health problems (still resolving themselves). We’re living in Southern California…
