.@slatestarcodex is an extraordinary, massive, persistent force of nature, like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot or something.
Read his decade in review and be gobsmacked: https://t.co/vOysnvbUmd
@padolsey I was recently doing something similar. You can also use Object.create as an equivalent to creating a new object with __proto__.
Incidentally, this led me to discover a bug in typescript (now fixed!): https://t.co/vIOjXW6UqX
@garybernhardt Not sure how effective it is, but @getsentry has a "Filter out errors known to be caused by browser extensions" option under Project Settings -> Inbound Filters.
@SeaRyanC +1. One option: use codenames. Document the mapping from "Foo" to "blocked", but preface it with disclaimers about avoiding semantic debates, etc.
@danluu A crazy example from my Plaxo days of the convicted murderer who was repeatedly, incorrectly, cited as being a cofounder of Plaxo: https://t.co/ijnzQ6aZgD
Periodic reminder that many (most?) citations are bogus. This happens to be about the claim that 3.5 hours/day of deliberate practice is the right amount, but I find this level of accuracy when I check most citations:

@kentcdodds@malfaitrobin@roelvangils@YvesHanoulle This doesn't work for me (and others, e.g. https://t.co/P6Io0URKfG). What version of macOS are you guys using? Anyone successfully do it on Mojave?
@patio11 Great writeup! A typo: "$2.26 in net interest" should say "2.26% in net interest" (unless you've found an investment that turns one dollar into $2.26 in a year :P)
Fun fact: it's written in C++. This has its pros and its cons, but one thing is for sure: it's *fast*. Speed gets neglected in comparables like TypeScript, to their detriment: https://t.co/Ph8Yq6UAdH
In 2008, I was extremely frustrated by Ruby imposing a constant ~100 ms startup penalty on hello world. In 2018, computers are ~3.5 times faster (4479 vs. 1266 Geekbench for 2007 vs. 2017 MBP). TypeScript imposes a 1600 ms startup penalty on hello world. https://t.co/GzMcXPoFNU
We’re excited to announce that Sorbet—a fast, powerful type checker for Ruby, built by @Stripe—is now open source! See https://t.co/K9FL9x0sbw for more.
@AdrianDuong 2/2 So, overall, worth the tradeoff IMO (especially with how convenient it is when you enable auto copying the 2FA code to the clipboard when you autofill your password)
@AdrianDuong 1/2 That's true, but there are still some benefits, and the fact that you're using a password manager (and therefore stronger passwords) somewhat compensates for the extra risk. Some good analysis at https://t.co/x8ByV0mdpJ
