@jeffwilcox Apparently Goldman is taking a bath on these — I suspect cancelling will be easy!

@StaceyACD @praeclarum Splash! The amount of UX framework innovation coming out of the OS and consumer product teams was unreal.

@daringfireball I’m surprised there isn’t much discussion about Apple Services using time sensitive notifications for advertising. E.g. I get Time Sensitive notifications from Apple Music for things like album releases. I don’t see how that meets their usage guidelines.

@MarkHumes_Art @elonmusk Look up Crescent Dunes. It works on conversion of solar power to steam turbine. https://t.co/TN6VBNFrfo

@Jonathan_Blow Btw, no argument about header programming kind of weird and the lack of a binary module system. I think the problem is not just cross language, but even across c++ modules. The lack of a stable ABI is vexing for anything that isn’t basically C and abstract interfaces.

[John Gallardo @jegllama]

@Jonathan_Blow What’s the example that shows the benefit in non-C++ languages. Genuinely looking to learn here.

[John Gallardo @jegllama]

@Jonathan_Blow WinRT does exactly what you say is impossible. It’s mostly written in modernish C++, but has a stable ABI which makes it calleable from other languages. Yeah you can’t export std::vector<foo>, but you can obviously expose abstractions which are stable.

@Reversity @GergelyOrosz That sounds like a toxic work environment. Sorry that happened if it was to you. Reviews should take into consideration the growth of both the presenter and the audience.

[John Gallardo @jegllama]

@Reversity @GergelyOrosz People need to understand context and why they are doing something. Having them discover the “why’s” in a mentored fashion without being told them is powerful. Re: the sushi rice analogy, most of these folks have already been coding for some time before entering the job force.

@TheGreatWilkie @TwilightMTG @wachelreeks I’m kind of surprised these aren’t double sided for paper magic.

@TheGreatWilkie @TwilightMTG @wachelreeks The game needs to remember it’s a 3/3.

@SeamusBlackley Context?

@jeffwilcox I did this, and somehow like $100 got left behind in the account even though I asked it to liquidate the account. Probably I need to do another pass to clean up remaining dividends or something… Doing this at EOY when all these funds are paying dividends and gains is a PITA.

@DickWhitehouse @tom_forsyth It’s not just academia. Junior engineers also. Sometimes getting the debugger attached with the right tests running feels daunting to them and “not what they have been tasked with” so it feels like a waste. But on the contrary it is great for leveling up!

[John Gallardo @jegllama]

@tom_forsyth I’ve had to repeat this to early in career developers all of the time. You want to learn how some seemingly complex piece of code works that you are now tasked with maintaining… get it under the debugger and just step through it. All of the mysteries just fade away.

@jeffwilcox Take the pineapple suite.

[John Gallardo @jegllama]

@TVietor08 Probably because it isn’t used as an excuse for more commercial breaks!

@twbtwb @joeflateau @mb_aus @marcoarment Lots of debug CRTs do this. OxDEADBEEF!

[John Gallardo @jegllama]

@joeflateau @mb_aus @marcoarment It’s more like intentionally covering your dishes with toxic waste after eating as a commitment device to remembering to wash them before you eat again.
