@mbird12 A high school friend of mine (we're from Texas) went to Yale, and had a friend from Long Island NY, which has a similar kind of accent (Lorn Gyland). That friend vividly remembered talking back to a teacher in grade school, saying "Whaddya mean, dorg doesn't rhyme with lahg!"
Nothing but respect to politicians in … Louisiana?!?!
I mean … I live in Texas, so I can’t throw too many stones, but in terms of political corruption Louisiana has a longer, richer tradition than almost any state.
I say this as a proud Louisianian & with nothing but respect to the politicians in the state.
Please say as little about the LSU coaching search as possible
Nothing positive for the entire state comes with turning this coaching search into a public spectacle for personal gain
@CoachTuck_@Aaron_Torres Right, exactly. A lot of them entered the portal immediately when Jimbo was fired, but a few stayed and bought into Elko's system and are thriving. This week's "The Pulse" video from A&M athletics highlights a couple of those guys: https://t.co/ht0TO5oAiF
@BrianGoetz Ever since I first saw these stickers a few years ago, I’ve fought the urge to buy them and carry a few in my wallet. I would slap them over the speakers on gas pumps, self-checkout stands, and a bunch of other things.
@chriskrycho Oh, sure. The same with "premature optimization is the root of all evil in programming." People frequently take "premature" to mean "before you're finished." But it actually means "before you measure." The difference is huge.
@chriskrycho then cleaning up internal structure to reflect newly gained understanding, followed by an optimization pass, is an excellent strategy. That doesn't mean you can't choose an efficient implementation technology to begin with, or follow good design principles from day 1. 2/2
@chriskrycho Yep, for sure, and I agree with you about performance being essential. But I think your other tweet, by imposing a different meaning of "work" and "right" than the original formulation intended, weakens a useful rule of thumb. Focusing on functional correctness first, 1/
@sewistwrites A few years back I took stock of all the Hugo winning novels I’d read, and I realized that I had read many by male authors and very few by women. So I started prioritizing correcting that. (And that led me to other great female writers and I’m thoroughly enjoying them.)
