At this point, it is interesting to consider where Linux would be after Linus.

New Linux Drama.

> Bcachefs (filesystem) wants to be in kernel
> dev pushes PR after merge-window
> claims bugfix, user data at risk
> Linus says nah, that’s a new feature
> HUGE Flamewar begins

tl;dr Bcachefs is not in kernel anymore lol

Pouring two Head shots.  One in sorrow.  One in celebration.  For the loss and for the life and career of the great Gene Hackman.  Made a D grade picture with Gene and Dom DeLuise.  We laughed together through the whole fiasco.  Gene told me he only needed four instructions from directors.  Louder. Softer.  Faster.  Slower.

In 1983, singer Barry White urged people to learn how to code.

At the time, less than 1% of the population owned a computer.

There have been 1000s of zombies, 100s of Draculas, dozens of Frankenstein's monsters, 10 Jason Vorhees, 9 Michael Myers, 7 Leatherfaces, 2 Freddy Kreugers and
one CANDYMAN...
Tony Todd (1953-2924) is immortal

On your way, brother...

Mike Flanagan’s DOCTOR SLEEP was released on this day in 2019

[Matt Ferguson @Cakes_Comics]

The Visitor is not only the best episode of Star Trek DS9 it’s also one of the best episodes of TV ever made.

A lot of that is down to Tony Todd’s heartbreaking performance.

One of the greats. RIP.

[Ketchup @PNDKetchup]

The first role I ever saw Tony Todd in was The Crow.

His voice and presence in the film was so good and perfectly complimented the rest of the films villains who were often unhinged and over the top.

I'll be watching it again today. Rest in peace to a legend.

100% my experience too. People that get a product for free very often don’t appreciate the value they get.

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

I’ve never seen any proof that having high WIP and highly parallelised task work has ever resulted in high throughput.

People assume it is true because that is why they did it.

Everything I’ve seen shows the opposite.

On vacation, but a quick @GregCapullo appreciation post - the guy is the best friend and best partner anyone could ask for in comics. ❤️🤘🏻

"WordPress/.org is not WordPress" is a good reminder that only the code is open source.
When you build something online, you should treat all platforms and distribution channels as someone else's sandbox and plan accordingly.

@TedMerz @andrewhorowitz I see some resemblance with @TedMerz - for a moment seeing the photo in the feed I thought it was you =)

Incredible test footage from 1974 of Garrett Brown's industry changing invention, the Steadicam.

The man who made every creator want to write and draw comic books!

He looked at my Batman and said "Now that is Batman"

I'll be smiling until the day I die. I genuinely can't believe how lucky I am!

[Tom Vaughan @storyandplot]

If there was ever a perfect film, it's TOOTSIE.

A book on the making of TOOTSIE changed my screenwriting forever. Reading Sydney Pollack break the entire story down as, "a man who dresses up as a woman and becomes a better man" was perhaps the key moment that led to more consistency in my work.

A light bulb went off. THAT is how you define a story.

Two points about the screenplay:

1) It has a fun structure with how the hero gets what he always wanted at the midpoint, only to realize he's trapped by it.

Ratatouille does something similar when Remy and Linguini are the toast of Paris, but their success makes everything worse.

If I am having trouble with the midpoint, "What if I just give them what they always wanted?" remains a fun possibility for me.

2) There are few actual jokes in Tootsie. It is played less for laughs and more for truth, trusting that playing it as truthfully as possible will be the source of the laughs.

This is how someone like Pollack, who Dabney Coleman described as, "Not the funniest guy in the world," made one of the best comedies ever.

Needless to say, a lot of help from Murray Schisgal, Larry Gelbert and Elaine May, all brilliant in their own right.

The scene here between Dorsey and his agent George still makes me laugh and I must have seen it 100 times.

I love this movie. An all-time classic.

Today marks 10 years since #TheBookOfLife was released! Such an amazing animated film with a great cast, I loved playing as Skeleton Luis!

In all of the recent events of the #WPDrama it was .org that was the weak link (blocked access, logins, plugin takeovers). It is only logical to seek alternatives.

While at it, let's ditch the SVN and adopt Git repos for the plugins =)

[Joost de Valk @jdevalk]

People in the WordPress world realize that: hosts are slowly "cutting loose" from w .org. Either to mitigate risks or to allow updates when they're blocked. This has a big unintended consequence:

Download & active install numbers are now no longer reliable.

[Kaloyan K. Tsvetkov 🇧🇬🇪🇺 @mrasnika]

Exactly

Should all large WordPress hosting companies run a mirror or cache of the https://t.co/14g4ysIAOQ plugin / theme directory in their own data centres? Benefits
