@stephenfry Oh come, now. I'm sure Borris has truly learned and grown since the last time he was PM.

Good god: I don't know which end of the bell curve I inhabit.

When it comes to databases, I Excel.

@signalapp Ouch! Please don't! A core reason for Signal's success is its one-app simplicity. Take that away and it's going to be hard to keep all but the most committed users.

Bad @nytimes! Repeatedly making users decline your mobile app is #assholedesign material. Let me read the paper I've paid for in peace.

Here's a reasonably elegant solution to a fun problem I lifted from @wtgowers: prove that for every positive integer n, there do not exist positive integers a, b, c, d with ad=bc and n^2 < a < b < c < d < (n+1)^2.

Check out this cool blog post, from @SnowflakeDB customer, @convoyteam the "Uber of the trucking industry", and no.11 on @CNBC's 2019 Disruptor 50 list, on how they achieved near real time #ELT with Apache Kafka + Snowflake! https://t.co/l9zYgJCSlC

@benlower @realDonaldTrump That would be amusing if it weren't so terrifying.

[Isaac Kunen @isaackunen]

So that's a thing.

@Di_Ku Oh, he's an evolutionary dead end for several reasons.

[Isaac Kunen @isaackunen]

Sorry. I was late for rehearsal today because...

Overheard at the top of a hike today:
A: "I wish we'd brought water."
B: "We have Pringles."
