@suedeyloh At least from the outside. I'm intending to sign up and see what it's all about this weekend. 😊

[Cameron Bielstein @CBielstein]

@suedeyloh For me, it's backlash against the recent years of social tech tomfoolery: hyper-targeted ads, stoked divisions, monetization of users, ego-centric leadership, data privacy, etc. Calmer, grassroots communities might be what we need. Reminds me of the "good old days" like IRC.

@aaronnstuff Didn't know you were building a startup. The project looks awesome!

[Cameron Bielstein @CBielstein]

@SounderBruce Smoke has really been getting to me as well. :(

[Cameron Bielstein @CBielstein]

@NealBhattarai Feels like it has to be 1 or 3. Second argument starts to fall apart when the opponent hangs 250 points on you in the first half (or whatever it was, I can't be bothered to scroll back up).

@cszhu I can find another career and deal with never talking to old friends again. Garlic bread cannot be replaced.

It has rained over 800" in Seattle since the #Mariners previously made the playoffs.

This is pretty cool even for a passive baseball fan. Full count, bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, walk off homer. Pretty sure every kid with a baseball bat has fantasized about this in their backyard.

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE.

THE MARINERS END THEIR POSTSEASON DROUGHT WITH A WALK-OFF HOME RUN.

Long week, late night, drink in hand...time to configure my network gear. This should be fine, right?

[Cameron Bielstein @CBielstein]

Excited to share our latest software and data release with the world: a comprehensive open data atlas to help drive research and understanding of Alzheimer's Disease.

On a personal note, I'm almost as excited by the @NPR coverage as the release itself! 😅

The #CoastGuard is responding to a plane that crashed near Alki Point. The person aboard the plane reportedly swam to shore in stable condition. USCG established a 150-yard safety zone around the plane and is working with the owner to remove the fuel from the plane. @SeattlePD

Kind of a fun brag: I've passed over 1k downloads on https://t.co/0ppSohagof for my APRS #hamradio packages.

Pretty sure most of those downloads are my own projects or some indexing...but it still feels exciting!

Update: It was not the garbage collector, it was my own buggy code.

Reset the counter to zero real-world issues in my experience for garbage collection and managed code.

[Cameron Bielstein @CBielstein]

I finally hit a performance issue that WAS the garbage collector...and it was mostly my own fault and only in my unit tests.

Honestly, only once in a decade of writing #dotnet managed code is much less severe than the dire warnings I've heard have suggested. 😅

@eysasaur I mean. It could have been worse. She could have said no...

[Sue Loh, local optimist (same username on @) @suedeyloh]

It surprises me how many software people have never done this thought experiment: What if the industry was 72% women instead of men? What would your day be like? How would we define success? What behavior would be acceptable? How would software be different?
