@d_feldman I'm convinced that most of these layoffs were decided by a spreadsheet with little to no oversight. So many highly valuable people got laid off, it felt random. Honestly, I think I prefer it that way; there's no shame in being let go.

[Tyler Larson @tylerlarson]

I'm convinced that "blame" is entirely artificial. It's the excuse we make to justify a belief or action that goes counter to our identity, based on someone else's mistake. "I'm not someone who hurts people, but it's OK to hurt him because he ____." Is it though?

@onlymarinus @SwiftOnSecurity Its narrower and taller than a regular king bed, but look: or you put two of them side by side you actually get an A2-size bed.

@DrRevKimberlyV1 @amitpadwal_ @readDanwrite Technically nobody is fired just yet, they're giving 60 days notice, but you stop working immediately. And the goodbye email was sent to their personal address; they got locked out of their work accounts overnight.

[Tyler Larson @tylerlarson]

@readDanwrite Nah, you knew when you woke up, because your phone had a cryptic error message saying there was a problem with your Google account, and your profile and data had all been deleted overnight. It's like an HR notification, but with the added bonus of wondering whether you broke it.

@andrewpprice We have them at work. They're not terrifically complicated; just some custom slightly-angled shelving packed tightly with plants still in their disposable square plastic pots. Water with pressurized water sprayer.

@CocaColaCo unopened Dasani bottle 10 years old. Still OK to drink?

Going back to debugging a PHP server feels a lot like fixing a coal-powered tractor. Yes, actually, technology HAS progressed beyond this.

Installed the #Ubuntu 15.04 nightly in a VM. #GNOME 3 paradoxically makes me miss Unity.... and hate my computer.

Security Wall of Shame. #bayareafastrak requires a number in your username -- for your protection.

This just happened --
ASV: Your site is insecure because #POODLE.
Company: Disabling HTTPS.
ASV: Looks good now. #pcidss

@msuster I deal with the sort of issues it sounds like you're talking about. DM for details.

[Tyler Larson @tylerlarson]

@msuster If you still need help let me know and I'll DM you my work email addr.

@thurrott You can't have missed this: http://t.co/a2OuQgObHt

Grr. Another one of my websites got taken out by a @cloudflare outage. This gets annoying fast.

Look at the return of Python's mmap.flush and see if you can spot any potential problems.... https://t.co/nKXziww3KK

@jonatanheyman Can locust follow a workflow through a site? Load pages in order using values scraped from previous pages?

[Tyler Larson @tylerlarson]

@disqushelp Looks like writing a domain (eg http://t.co/lcJzX0KHQ6) creates a link which mean your comment can get auto-spam filtered. True?

WRT Outage @ServerBeach/@Peer1 - bad news: network backbone down. Good news: no meteor strike; servers still alive.
