So the $300/month we pay to Comcast is not enough to watch this NFL game? But I can watch it for free using some sketchy streaming service. Got it.

@coderberry And... we're FINALLY done! Well... that wasn't so bad, right? 🙈

[Michael Mercurio @michaelafcadio]

@coderberry Re original Tweet, How do you stay on top of deprecation warnings? Do you enable them in CI tests, running in staging, in production, etc?

@smartereveryday Btw, X works just fine in a mobile browser. No need to install the app.

[Michael Mercurio @michaelafcadio]

@smartereveryday I had to read several responses before I realized “X” was not a placeholder for the generic message you were asking about. I can’t think of any good reason the app would need access to the local network. Deny!

[Michael Mercurio @michaelafcadio]

@jamonholmgren Agreed. My comment was more on how communication is often incredibly hard and difficult in any workplace. For software developers or anyone.

I love EVERYTHING about #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds - it’s near perfect - but I CANNOT get over the angle of this monitor. Folks still mounting TVs too high at an angle over the fireplace in the 24th century?!? #nit

@VicVijayakumar That’s a lot of hair cuts!

@QuinnyPig I’m surprised more are not doing this.

Millitext is a font where glyphs are one-pixel wide.

It's an exploitation of how subpixels (individual R/G/B lights of a display) are triggered by certain colors. For example, magenta pixels trigger subpixels R and B, while G is left dark between them.

Today's book archiving schedule, ready to be chopped and scanned.

@_aaronbnb @rsg Oh. And even thought I’m using a VPN, I’m still paying for the content.

[Michael Mercurio @michaelafcadio]

@_aaronbnb @rsg I use a VPN to watch sporting events that I am unable to purchase through any legal means because the product for is not for sale. Any any price. Is it still pirating?

@iamdevloper And sometimes the day is a week.

[Michael Mercurio @michaelafcadio]

@r_marked Thankfully it’s easy to re-open after accidentally closing. Ask me how I know.

@GergelyOrosz From Bell Labs. I had MTS and Distinguished MTS at a startup ~20 yrs ago that was eventually acquired by Oracle.

@SwiftOnSecurity No impressionable youth I ever knew was interested in Excel but otherwise spot on.
