Students at @iiit_hyderabad, supposed to be one of the top engineering colleges in the country, are in an ongoing health crisis caused due to appalling mismanagement and negligence going on since well over a year. 🧵👇on mass typhoid breakouts, food poisoning, underreporting..

@ShashwatGoel7 @iiit_hyderabad Till 2022, students had a limit on monthly mess cancellations. I think it was 5/month. Is that still the case or was it changed?

@rickyfm What is the code review tool you use for reviewing large PRs so effectively? With traditional tools like GitLab or GitHub, smaller sequential PRs almost always display the chain of reasoning more effectively and make reviews easier.

@darinwf Are boosts configurable across websites as a "base theme/base boost"? For example, I can define a "warm hue/night light hue" that I would enable in the evenings.

@vhmth Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear the migration is going well.
So far, have you had any issues with the service worker crashing/not responding? I thought of waiting more because of these issues (and also because there's no due date now).

@addyintech @sindresorhus I don't have the full context on this, maybe next time :)

@floydophone @dagster @LangChain @OpenAI Hi @floydophone thanks for the great blog post! Learnt a lot about langchain and dagster from reading it. I'm curious if your team ended up deploying this in production, and what were the challenges in doing that. Would be nice to read a blog post about that 😄

@dotproto I used 1. official docs, 2. open source chrome extensions on github, 3. stackoverflow
I feel CRX is simply two separate-purpose javascript processes that can talk to each other.
So, if you're good at JS, getting started with CRX is easy (part of CRX's appeal over desktop/mobil)

[Gaurang Tandon @alltimecoder]

@dotproto It was great to attend the WECG meetings chaired by you. I really liked your enthusiasm for improving webextensions. Wish you best of luck for your next adventure!

@marvinhagemeist @pepicrft Hi Marvin, thanks for your blog posts, they motivated me to try to speed up a React project's build time.
When I try `node --cpu-prof ./node_modules/.bin/react-scripts build`, I get a profile that just has spawnSync.
Can you suggest the right way to profile this?

[Gaurang Tandon @alltimecoder]

Check out our new spreadsheet that works wherever *you* work.
I already use it to write post-it notes. I can easily read/write my notes without having to open the actual sheet.
I can't wait to see what cool applications people come up with.

Introducing Data Blaze - a (free) spreadsheet for doers that makes your data available for you anywhere you work

[Gaurang Tandon @alltimecoder]

@PwnFunction @TheHackerCamp Would be happy to give detailed feedback, I have been looking forward to this for a while.

[Gaurang Tandon @alltimecoder]

@MatznerJon Hey Jon, this is great. Would you prefer to have the AI integrated into Gmail/Outlook/HubSpot/etc., that is, the websites where you are actually using these emails?

If so, check this out and let me know what you think :-)

This is awesome! If you want to run GPT-3 on website contents (for example, to reply to this tweet😉), the workflow *cannot* be simpler than this. You get to spend you time crafting a good prompt, instead of fiddling with scripting languages.

@michael_nielsen It's very good for extracting (and explaining) solutions to problems that are out of domain for me. Provides a significant headstart, and then I need to finish it.
Example: MSVC code for Win32 Clipboard API, a topic that had required me 30mins to 1hr of googling sometime ago.

@theryangeorge Here's the final prompt I used. This is the shortest pitch meeting it actually generated, the others were just way too long.

[Gaurang Tandon @alltimecoder]

@theryangeorge chatgpt will write a pitch meeting it decided.
