@Google I started with the 512GB black but couldn't check out. That sold out so I tried the white 256, but couldn't checkout. After 256 when out of stock I tried the 128 on the sunny but it got stock in cart and couldn't checkout.

Eventually black 128 but no luck either. Angry Emoji.

@CrystalLanguage @nikolamotor So great being part of this today.

After a much-needed break, @elorest takes the #CrystalConf’s Main Room to share his learnings from doing a lot of work, during the last 5 years, in decoding binary communication on vehicles, https://t.co/ywxDkuXtqC

@amberframework @meraj_enigma @CrystalLanguage @drujensen @eliasjpr There are a lot of deps to get upgraded with multiple owners in the crystal universe. 1.0 will be pushed this weekend. The main branch currently works with out ignoring crystal versions.

@keystonelemur Mental health is under rated. Best of luck.

@eileencodes This probably isn't what your looking for but this works for me. Doing an https://t.co/5Vff2VEZ9a exercise in the language you're good at and then doing it in the language you're trying to learn. Start easy and move on more advanced.

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

@nikolatrevor Thanks.

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

@jeremywoertink JS has its place. The worst part is that it's now used everywhere, mostly on things that used to work better in other languages.

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

@jeremywoertink Yup

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

@KSaraswat18 That would be amazing. The only advantage I have now is that 50% of the time I have a good reason.

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

@alexanderadam__ Only if you're power chords. :)

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

Still excited about sitting down on a piano and not having to turn it on. "Oh no! Where's the power button? Nevermind it's always on."

I'll be so sad if I buy a new house and still have to deal with garbage internet.

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

The amount of effort I'm going through to find and house with @centurylink fiber is a little crazy. It's just frustrating because the houses I love only have Cox or even slower centurylink DSL. :(

The only thing worse than Cox's customer service is their internet service.

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

@nikolatrevor Who's in the back?

[Isaac Sloan @elorest]

Thanks. Crystal is amazing, I'm hoping with all of it's support it becomes a common name in programming in the next few years. I was fortunate to be able to get my company to back it as well.
