@mattyglesias If you look at the 5th district map its crazy that this was a race. Its a ridiculously tortured map connecting a bunch of upper middle class places in Oregon dominated by Democrats. It takes about 3.5 hours to get from Lake Oswego to Bend, assuming perfect weather and no traffic.
@ByrneHobart "most of them can pick up the concept pretty readily from summer jobs and the like."
I think the ones that have most trouble picking this up are not working summer jobs.
@bmarcello As an Oregon fan even I think that ASU game is the least interesting of this bunch. I get the desert voodoo history but Dilly's team is beyond "banged up". Its going to be ugly.
@rltsports Oregon, Arizona, Washington, and UCLA all look better than expected. So does CU when compared to the preseason expectations and not the weird 3-week long media silly season. ASU stronger than expected.
OSU, Cal, Furd, Utah, WSU are about what we thought.
USC was overrated.
@rltsports People look at Apple's war chest and think "but they have so much money to burn, why not?" without considering the mentality that lead to that war chest in the first place.
@t3dotgg A while back I began aggressively filtering what social media stuff hits my screen so I am blissfully unaware of whatever drama this is about. So I'll just say, you're one of a small handful of people who create explanations for tech and code I genuinely appreciate. Keep it up!
@GergelyOrosz Iโll never forgive them for muscling out all the RSS services only to turn around kill Reader. They used their monopoly to take over a part of the web only to kill it off when it wasnโt profitable.
@craiga Yeah same! I do not miss opening up large JS projects for the first time and trying to understand what is happening and what is hidden in those different objects. Code reviews, for example, were much more difficult and time consuming.
@GergelyOrosz I had deleted my Twitter account for all many good reasons, but it left me disconnected from the tech/dev world so I returned to follow news/discussions.
I submitted a request to join Blue_sky a week back. How long does it take? Hows the dev talk/news compare to here?
