I'm not here.

Same handle, different platform. See you there.

The irony is that I now understand the argument for keeping guns to fend off a tyrannical government.

How many bricked Amazon Cloud Cam's do you think would fit inside Climate Pledge Arena?

[🦋Chris Thomas🦋 @TopherCThomas]

So long it's been good to know you. I've got to be rolling along.

@hillelogram Interesting only for its insanity: Directly editing SQL queries inside a deployed executable to get the DB to use the right indices.

I can think of no greater way to exercise your constitutionally-guaranteed rights than to open fire on a 4th of July parade.

To politicians who've said that better support for mental health is the solution to gun violence: How's that going for ya?

@justintstanley I received hundreds of emails every day, of which I only read about 10%. The only ones I would *always* read where the ones with recall attempts.

My biggest failure as a software developer will always be not understanding what javascript's "this" refers to.

@niklassbe @christianvozar @TrevAustin @_joemag_ Because you're a kid (or really, anyone) who made a mistake, and thought you were adding numbers, with nothing warning you that you aren't.

Makes me realize that agonizing over including packet headers in transit charges was a big fucking waste of my time.

If you had given me 200 guesses about which company just pulled a “hey fuckstick, we’re turning on a chargeable service for your account because fuck you” I would not have guessed @awscloud.

Clearly times are changing and so must my impressions and opinions about the company.

@QuinnyPig @Dropbox Wife found she had to upgrade in order to access a file someone shared with her ( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), so she did. Later cancelled Pro, but lost access to everything, with no obvious way to get it back. Given all the other viable options, it wasn't worth figuring it out.

Some friends and I created a virtual office for a few hours inside @BigscreenVR to work & consult on our projects. Separate, but together.

@colmmacc My eyeglasses have saved me from lots of things over the years; rocks, soccer balls, etc. So I want this to be true as well.

[🦋Chris Thomas🦋 @TopherCThomas]

Holy hell managing your schedule in retirement is way harder than at work.

@mvandemar @feliciaday @PlanetComicon In a noisy restaurant the other day nobody could hear me, so I closed-captioned myself by downloading a transcription app to my phone & hanging it around my neck. So yeah.

@nathankpeck @kreddyio @rakyll All loggers should be non-blocking and be willing to discard messages if they would block the application or consume too much I/O. In reality, none of them are. If you really require 0% loss of messages, then it's not logging, it's a business-critical function.
