@MattDzugan @mikebros it's a little weird to me that to #getnzonthemap people don't simply rotate the globe slightly more. the Middle East seems solidly on the map already in the Europe/Africa hemisphere. if you let it rotate off the west, New Zealand very naturally rotates in.

new interview question: tell me about a time when chatgpt gave you the wrong answer? how did you find out? what did you do then?

[Visnu Pitiyanuvath @visnup]

Reviewing my earliest tweets and they read like my college application essays. So cringey.

@mkvlr @jschwartz73 @BoldPoker Would also love that. I came back several years later hoping the app would still work but it’s out of the App Store now. Definitely willing to make it work on my own. Loved it previously.

Got a PR merged into @nextjs. So, immediately wondering when the next patch version or canary would release. Analysis says: less than a week for a canary and 1-3 weeks for a patch release.

Was on a computer textbook page on Amazon recently and WOW weird nostalgia hit…

I had to find my first Amazon order, ever: "Last purchased Dec 27, 1997". I paid $55.30 plus $7.95 for SHIPPING AND HANDLING.😮 WHAT SUCKER PAYS FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING? (no tax though…😉)

[Visnu Pitiyanuvath @visnup]

@ohhoe @jkup @alunny ooh do you try to convert it to HDMI or anything? or not worth it?

[Visnu Pitiyanuvath @visnup]

@ohhoe @jkup @alunny was thinking it'd be half-fun to go find a working VCR, but then I'd have to find a CRT or something to plug it into too.

[Visnu Pitiyanuvath @visnup]

@ohhoe @jkup @alunny using those yellow red white RCA plugs?

[Visnu Pitiyanuvath @visnup]

@jkup @alunny wait. usable VCRs existed in 2008? am I remembering 2008 incorrectly?
