@BhamPolice You should be ashamed of yourselves. Arrested and tazed for "disrespect" because a high school band wanted to finish a song they'd bought uniforms for, practiced for months, and stayed all night waiting for? Among the dumbest shit I've ever seen, drop the fabricated charges.

@jiggywastaken Difference being that I've literally never lost the source files for a project since I use Git. I even switch computers in the middle of working on things and can easily get the most up to date version on either PC at any time from any place. Github has private repos for free

[Tom Scharstein @inventsable]

@jiggywastaken Even via terminal in VSCode:

- Create github repo
- git remote add origin (URL)

Then for changes:

- git add .
- git commit -m "Some commit message"
- git push -u origin master

@jiggywastaken You should learn git and version control to prevent things like this

@KylasaurusRex @DrawingRoomNYC Do they still tour without Dolores O'Riordan?

@lauraporat I love the Strange Case of Steven Fishman. It's the Avenger's Endgame of Scientology content, just a lawyer giving a wild deposition about Jesus' soul prison on Mars, L Ron being the founder of Buddhism and more from the early 90's. A fascinating and earnest audiobook of delusion

@Zonaefly Happy birthday! 🥳 Nice run cycle

Curious about the Adobe <> Figma acquisition? Here's a breakdown of what we think this deal means.

And the comment section... 🤌

@zachnfine @ae_screens @brentclouse Hello, expressions and ScriptUI do not use the same versions of Javascript. The thread here in question is for expressions which have a new version of JS and more modern methods (like padStart) available, whereas in scripting this would need to be polyfilled.

@editingemily Seems like all the more reason to wear a mask if anything

@jkup Makes me wonder if you could parse a FEN for the AI, like with generative best move estimations on priority of pieces / available targets? I usually don't do the AI, just UI

[Tom Scharstein @inventsable]

@jkup I try making basic chess games every year or so as practice and I love the FEN approach. It's way easier to parse as a string and store all data that way, I've been using only FEN since

[Open Web Advocacy @OpenWebAdvocacy]

Apple's claim is that it bans other browsers for security AND NOT because it's protecting its 70b of AppStore Revenue or 15b of Google Search Revenue in Safari.

The CMA says the ban not only doesn't protect security it could make it worse!

🧵 Lets dig in...

@mpbMKE I'd actually really be down for Batman Beyond at this point especially with Keaton or Kevin Conroy

@goodboyninja Ironically my most popular solo tool I've made in the last year, only spent like 4 hours on a whim because I was annoyed by a certain website compared to other tools I'll take weeks to work on but no one cares about, lol 🙃

[Tom Scharstein @inventsable]

@rosiephillpot I've been trying to get myself in the habit of using an external hard drive for saving everything so I can switch easily but then I get a totally separate "what if I step on this or spill a drink on it" sense of dread 😰 Hasn't happened yet but still kind of risky

Anubis is video compression for those who appreciate the simpler things in life. v1.1 now allows for manually adjusting what each preset means, but for most, LOW / MED / HIGH is all you need.
