Software apostate. I have been accused of being a rabble rouser and a heretic. He/him 👾🏳️‍🌈

I wrote a piece on Staff+ dysfunctions! Regardless of hype, when I ask folks if they feel like their organization is effective at (1) understanding what it is staff engineers do and (2) empowering them to do it, the answer is very broadly "no." https://t.co/Y2xT5RK2z7

@AmazonHelp Where do we file complaints against your Flex drivers/deliverers? They routinely hold the only functioning elevator and go floor by floor, sometimes several times a day, in my building. It's effectively trapping people in the building.

@timothyzillion @bcantrill I haven’t but that’s because I didn’t know about it! Will definitely give a listen.

I don’t suppose I know anyone that’s still here that’s done EMC/EMI testing? I’m having a hard time understanding it because it’s basically nothing but sponsored ads by testing sights.

@NatalieZed Actually, I also did this with Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea. https://t.co/H4EbiqVEzl I am convinced I’m the only kid that saw this. Every time I talked to someone else about it, even I thought it sounded like a fever dream.

@NatalieZed The Adventures of American Rabbit (film). I had memories of being a little kid watching some sort of running bunny that saved people but absolutely nothing about the weird flag outfit. I assumed I fused a few different shows together. Turns out it was real https://t.co/zcyHpzh05d

What’s the formula to get going with mastodon? My feed here is down to like… 3 people. Am I shouting this into a void?

@cnvandev It’s probably real. SD has an encoder in it and some encoders are sample-able. If part of the meta data contained a date of origin the encoder might have learned a continuous plane you could sample along like the face generating models that update continuously as you adjust

Anyone involved in the marketing, planning, and naming of “Attack on Titan The Final Season [Part X]”, and not saying X of Y, deserves whatever misfortunes that come their way.

@TarnowMaxine @amtravels3 @A_K_Nyx Emergency services have blocked e Broadway and Clinton. I can see it

Something special about Rust: every question on SO/forums is basically:
“Why can’t I do <trivial thing in most modern languages>?”
“Ah. It’s actually simple and straightforward if you just realize <2k word essay on compiler semantics and category theory>.”

@ethangunderson Any tips or pointers on how you’re finding those specialized communities?

Today in unbelievable odds: I ordered delivery from a restaurant via Seamless. I got a delivery for “Chris C” but the receipt is via DoorDash and has the wrong items. A different Chris C in the neighborhood must have placed an order at the same place and time 🤣🤣

@MBonvoyAssist My account was locked for “audit” and said to call in- except there’s no way to solve it via your phone tree or useless reps. Without explanation I’ve been told to send a copy of my ID “and wait 5-7 business days.” I’ve been a gold member for years. WTF.

This one showed up for my Monday morning sync.

@itsannagoodman You can’t say something like that without linking a playlist or something 😂 what is goblincore?!

@jaymcgavren From all the years in fintech I can tell you the gap between “releasing an exploitable bug” and “scammers taking advantage of it” is about 45 minutes. There’s a ton of adaptive work happening behind the scenes. Guessing those teams were… thinned.
