I give up on Twitter (not that I used this often). Find me on Mastodon instead: https://t.co/T3YorOvlRn

@GOtransit question for you... This AM my @GOtransitLW train pulled into Union and there was someone asleep on a coach. He waved me off when I tried to wake him. Would this be an appropriate time to use the passenger assistance alarm? I was not sure whether train was OOS or not.

Today someone submitted a vulnerability report to our bug bounty stating that it was possible to specify a birthdate in the future, and that this was somehow an exploit. 🆗

@elonmusk at the top of "Who to Follow" has serious "Tom from MySpace" vibes.

@happynoff The extra letters I have to type add up to minutes of my life wasted — MINUTES!

Journalling is great and all, but don't you sometimes wish you could tab-autocomplete things when you're writing using a pen. Holy cow.

[Julian Lam @julianlam]

@mooreds @NodeBB Yeah I've never really seen it in the context of forums, but it's surprising how well it fits there too.

@PCFinancial Unacceptable that I am locked out of my account because your 2FA system is broken. Please fix this ASAP.

TIL being clever with .reduce() by not providing an initial value can backfire if the input array is empty.

@showRSS Just means I have more to watch tonight! Thanks and keep up the good work :)

@voipms Kudos to you, it doesn't seem like anybody replying to your tweets seems understand the considerable strain and effort your engineers are going through, working around the clock to restore service. These DDoS script kiddies will get bored of their antics soon.

This desktop I repurposed as a low-end gaming machine, and doubled the RAM from the original 4GB (hah!) so the #Ryzen #Vega GPU could really stretch its wings.

Opened @code and my desktop ground to a halt. Turns out I had no swapfile. So I set one up and booted up #vscode. Tell me again why an IDE needs 1.3 GB of RAM?

[Julian Lam @julianlam]

"Oh," you'll say, "you only have 8GB of memory, you should have 16". To which I tell you that I used to think 2GB system memory was enough. I mean, Bill Gates says 640kb ought to be enough for anybody ;)

@bentael tbf she is incredibly hardworking. She commits most days, even on weekends, sometimes multiple times daily!

tfw when the robot you wrote gets job opportunities but you don't

Okay, now it's full on raining and I'm still out here lol

Might be drizzling out, but a change of scenery is needed sometimes!

TIL `justify-content` isn't widely supported unless all you need it for is `justify-content: center;`

It's 2021 and I'm still hacking around browser-specific limitations to flexbox...

Did @earwolf literally inject a commercial for Rob Lowe's podcast in the middle of Conan's sentence (at 33:15) on the Kenan Thompson episode, or was it @Stitcher? Either way super unclassy, what the hell. @MattGourley
