@TwitterDev Can anyone tell me what is actually happening with the 1.1 API? I switched off my app but deprecating the free tier is delayed “by a few days”, but actually there’s still going to be some sort of free tier? Will apps built for the 1.1 free tier need updating to use it? Hello?!

🔥 Format large numbers in your JavaScript with numeric separators.

const milly = 1_000_000;

This doesn't affect how the number works or is displayed - just helpful for reading large values quickly.

@elonmusk @sampullara Will it still be in the tweet data? When is this happening? Could you get someone more competent at @TwitterAPI or @TwitterDev to collate and communicate these changes instead it just being you tweeting things as they come into your head?

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@nickwforsberg Oh yeah, the original 1978 Halloween is a belter! Also for next year’s list: The Lost Boys (1987).

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

I’m seeing an alarming number of Halloween movie lists NOT featuring Pan’s Labyrinth or Sleepy Hollow.

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@elonmusk Instead of these cryptic stunt tweets, could we actually get coherent product feature updates from @TwitterAPI? I’ve got a non-commercial bot that I run for fun and people seem to like, I need to know if it will be affected by whatever you’re doing.

@akoskm I’ve also recently needed to split into two builds from what was up until recently an almost completely cross-browser codebase. @parceljs is a great alternative to Webpack and it’s Web Extension “recipe” works great for the MV3 stuff.

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@nickwforsberg Yo! This is the tentative list I brainstormed (trying to remember which are good/suitable to watch with a 5yo):

Ghostbusters (1984)
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Poltergeist (1981)
Pans Labyrinth (2006)
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Gremlins (1984)
Tremors (1990)

Any others you reckon?

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@emilyst @mandymmitchell @seldo I think I’ll pass 😃

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@emilyst @mandymmitchell @seldo I used to love these but there’s a risk now that you’ll get a “so-so-bad-it’s-good-it’s-bad” these days.

I like @parceljs

@ShaunMccran @LoveRetroBTW The Quake 3 soundtrack by Sonic Mayhem was excellent also, probably my favorite even though I’m a huge NIN/Trent Reznor fan.

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@LoveRetroBTW Quake (entire series but mainly 3)
Streets of Rage 1 & 2
Doom (entire series but mainly 1 & 2016)
Probotector/Contra 3
Wipeout

@rob_sheridan The Giger Museum in Switzerland is superb. As you might imagine, it’s full of weird biomechanical cyborg spines, cocks, boobs etc. But the top floor is his “personal collection” and it’s fucking terrifying after walking through all the Alien-like stuff to see clowns, antiques etc

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@RAMENPRIDE88 @joeyvind @FearFactory Ah yes I remember it coming out but don’t think I paid it enough attention because they’d already been doing only electronic stuff for years. If that a guitar-y one then I’ll go back and try it!

[Tom Riley @tomdriley]

@RAMENPRIDE88 @joeyvind @FearFactory I’m still holding out for the day FLA make a new Millennium-style album with loads of filthy guitars in. Maybe they need to get sampling some Fear Factory?
