@TheGoldenRatio4 I’m so sorry, Jen and Ingo and squad. I know that was a hard decision but the right one. We love you Perfect Bestest Hopper T. Dog.

Super disappointed in @MieleUSA for cancelling an order for a part without telling me. I've been waiting almost a year. I had to reorder it--expected to ship March 2023. *sigh* #BadCustomerService

@Dataflow_G @j_medland Except for the compiled object code, they should be the same across all platforms, endianness, and bitness. Data is normalized—e.g., extended floats are stored in a 128-bit format, the widest format supported on any platform (Sun Solaris).

@Kimpton Thank you for the update. Good luck getting it sorted out.

[Brian Powell @brianhpowell]

Hey @Kimpton hotels, I’m getting errors booking on your website, and your phone number is just giving a busy signal. Do you have an ETA for reopening?

@TheRealAdamKemp Sigh. People didn’t learn their lesson when Microsoft did this years ago in their tools?
Developers: if you make a library that really needs to change the floating point state, then please save/restore it so that your callers don’t have to.
Better yet: don’t change the state.

My Great Pyrenees channeling his inner Voodoo while preparing for the Voodoo Nö Challenge. He's training for the "take a short walk, lay down in the neighbor's yard, and refuse to continue" distance. #VoodooNoChallenge @GoldenRatioFdn https://t.co/OptChNkeXY

.@violincase I'm seeing unusual popups when visiting https://t.co/4k6JtctxDX. You might check to see if the site has been hacked.

@TheRealAdamKemp I think it’s worth a try. Grimes is among his early-ish works, while Midsummer is among his late-ish works, so there’s a difference there. Grimes is also one of his most performed operas, so that’s a good indicator, too. And hey, the livestream is free right now.

[Brian Powell @brianhpowell]

One of my favorite operas!

@dyerob Man against society, and a little man against nature and man against himself. Spoiler alert: man loses.

[Brian Powell @brianhpowell]

@thatbrooke I understand. Sincerely, Brain.

@dnatt @j_medland You haven’t spent as much time working on the compiler and execution system as I have. ;)

[Brian Powell @brianhpowell]

@dnatt @j_medland Most nodes would not start a new clump, so this makes perfect sense to me once I stop and think about it. The problem is that I wouldn’t start by stopping and thinking about it, so it may not behave the way I want it to when I write the code.

[Brian Powell @brianhpowell]

@DanielAHedges I guess the good news is that nobody is teaching it like that.
