Staff Software Engineer at @Monzo. I do computery things, take awful selfies, and love TypeScript. Views my own. He/him.

Well that's the last straw. 👋

It's almost like you removed the computationally cheap way of doing this (APIs) and devs switched to the only free alternative...

Not gonna delete this account in case Twitter gets sold to a non-muppet, but uninstalling the app until then. Byeee

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:

- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day

@MegaSlippers Aye so would I, however my head and shoulders are perfectly rotoscoped which you couldn't get with segment slicing 🤔

[James King @ripixelcodes]

More interested in how the auto background removal works (some AI bs imma guess), but yes I am and I need a shave #Streamberry

[James King @ripixelcodes]

@SarahLFairman Oooh this is interesting! Is it like a stream of things for you to moderate or specifically calling for checks?

@MegaSlippers A WardeN maybe... But never Warder

It's been a long time since I've completed a game in one sitting, but oh my days "There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension" had me absolutely hooked. What voice acting, and a surprisingly touching story from what is a point-and-click puzzler, with so much out the box thinking

GO BUY IT

[James King @ripixelcodes]

Also @GigabyteUK buying a top-spec board I would expect the CMOS reset button to actually work... 🙃

[James King @ripixelcodes]

Step 1: Spec up new PC
Step 2: Splurge on new PC
Step 3: Build new PC
Step 4: Enable XMP on new PC
Step 5: Panic because now won't post
Step 6: MAD GOOGLING
Step 7: MORE PANICKED GOOGLES
STeP 8: WhY won't thE CMos resET?!
StEPPP NiNe: FUCK YOU BATTERY OUT TIME
Step 10: Panic over

[James King @ripixelcodes]

Seriously, why is enabling XMP in Bios such a coin flip?! My RAM and Mobo all support it but nooo I've got to fiddle with the RAM speeds in the bios too apparently?! WHAT

Worst rollout of a new feature, ever.

@DeliverooEng @monzo Thanks Jamie 😘

[James King @ripixelcodes]

A bit of professional news on here; today is my last day @DeliverooEng! I've had an incredible time and worked with such brilliant people. However I'm so excited to be starting @monzo as a Staff Engineer 🎉! A company I love and a product I'm already all-in on; let's go!

[James King @ripixelcodes]

@SarahLFairman @DeliverooEng @monzo Hahahaha thank you, I was thinking of your rants when typing the opening 😂

[James King @ripixelcodes]

@monzo A Grogu gif to say hello - I've made a good choice 💪

[John Bull @garius]

This is glorious.

Person has a railway line outside their window, so built a Raspberry PI/camera script to watch for passing trains then take photos and stitch together a full image of them, after they've passed. https://t.co/Sh4clsZkDD

Just got access to #Bard and wanted to test how "live" the data powering it really is. Oh my, what a summary 😂 #Boris
