Dear @hoppscotch_io on behalf of a whole bunch of developers who are self-hosting things more and more: We'd really, really love to see OIDC support in the community version. Thanks so much for building a great product.

Best,

- Chris

Having a miserable time with @ChaseSupport. Can't add my Visa card to my Pixel phone wallet. Chase says "Google's fault". @Google points out I can add other cards with no problem (I can). When I point this out to Chase, they just say "Nothing we can do". Any ideas lazyweb?

Updated @OpenVPN @ubuntu #linux packages (2.6.1) linked against the MbedTLS libraries for cryptography are available now in my PPA: https://t.co/Qh343QB8Rv

@Shealan I'm getting to it. It looks cool. I just don't think I'm going to need it for anything I'm personally working on anytime soon. But you've got to respect the things people are building with it. I didn't even know bat was a thing until recently... life changer.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

Okay. Fine. Yes. I'm finally doing it. I'm learning a Lisp. Let's see what you've got going on Clojure...

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

@codefinger I have the (somewhat sinking) feeling you can do this using MS Word and C# or somesuch. Though I'm not deep enough into that ecosystem to know for real. So I'll just join you in praying for Google to make a Python interface for Google Docs.

@mikeindustries Django gets my vote, many times over. There are other options, but I like all of them less. Opinion 100% mine, of course.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

@joemccann I'd argue that a real answer depends almost entirely on your definition of the term. That said, if you took anybody born before the scientific revolution (mid-1500's), and moved them by 100 years in time, they wouldn't have much trouble adapting compared to after said revolution

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

@ndj @clojuredesign I have long called this a "write-twice" philosophy. Assume from the outset you're going to do one rewrite. Just make that part of the plan. Do it soon-ish, but don't be scared to do it.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

@ndj Is Emacs the correct editor choice? (Asking for a friend... who is me...)

@SoDuJonesy Nah, you did it in public, you win this one Jonesy.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

@colev2_ Yes, my apologies. I'm having issues getting the current njs module compiled and I'm hoping to resolve those to release a 1.21.6 build with the patch changes as well. Otherwise I may just drop the njs module.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

The new Arc GPUs from @IntelGraphics really can not get to market quickly enough. Really hoping I can get my hands on one.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

@colev2_ I'll look into it next time I build some, thanks for pointing it out.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

Major props to the @WMPhoenixOpen for astonishingly good free Wi-Fi at an event this size. Very much appreciated!

There's only one kind of people who would vote to ban Maus, whatever they are calling themselves these days.

@sibinmohan Having absolutely no kind of standardized I/O spec removes a potential attack vector.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

@norootcause I did not get a CS degree, though I've been working in tech since I graduated. But as to your question, I absolutely believe that my Physics degree was great at helping me learn to think clearly and has massively influenced how I solve problems for the better.

[Chris Lea @chrislea]

Hey @IntelGraphics, is there any way to get in line ahead of time for next year's desktop GPUs? I would be happy to put down a deposit for one today if that was an option, for example.
