@whiskeyhacker Nice! I got an A100 up and running a few weeks ago - fun to see people start to use it. Should be a game changer.

@austboston I was thinking the same thing.

@mimestream Congratulations on the public release! I have enjoyed using the beta for the past three years as my primary email client and will definitely sign up for a subscription!

[Kevin Guay @KevinCGuay]

@ITBrew I don’t understand why these exist.

[Kevin Guay @KevinCGuay]

As an IT professional, most of my time is spent working on computer systems, but that doesn’t mean I’m always at my desk. Today we were working on @BigelowLab’s new research vessel - planning for new devices and updating/troubleshooting the navigation computer.

@newscentermaine @mefishwildlife Hopefully there’s a gift shop there - the fish have accumulated quite a few nickels and dimes!

@newscentermaine I have it on good authority that the trout pond trout are “on vacation” at the @mefishwildlife

@1Password @Google Soon please!

@sundarpichai I just tried it - very easy to set up and so much easier than passwords.

[Kevin Guay @KevinCGuay]

I never thought that this would happen. Good start to the day!

Bowditch, meet world. World, meet Bowditch. She's in the water with a new name (steeped in Maine history and maritime tradition) and a new mission (bold science for our blue planet). We can't wait for all the discoveries and hands-on education opportunities she will enable!

[Kevin Guay @KevinCGuay]

@ITBrew I agree 100%. From a hiring perspective, I don’t put a lot of weight in certifications. Certifications encourage a cycle of study/cram, test, and forget (especially if it’s a skill that you aren’t currently utilizing at work).

[Kevin Guay @KevinCGuay]

We’re upgrading our systems.
Sometimes simpler is better.

Dear @NotionHQ, why is CMD+P used for search?

The optical switches are “fibers connected by mirrors, so any bandwidth running through a fiber can be switched between input and output fibers by the OCS across 4,096 chips today”

@BatsouElef I just started using Notion last month and am loving it!

But that's what technology does.

It makes new things possible and makes life more convenient, it puts people out of work and puts people into work, it destroys whole industries and creates new ones, it makes the world safer and more dangerous.

And it seems, always, inevitable.

I just walked around the building twice looking for my water bottle. Found it!
