That's why we all work here for free.

Do the people who pushed to shut down nuclear plants realize how deadly the alternatives are?

"air pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and diesel was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide"

@hfyi53ko @floydophone @levelsio If you're exercising early enough, the value is so low that you're paying single digit thousands of dollars (or less).

@mymind I managed to get through it by clicking at the very top edge of the button. Wasn't able to scroll them into view tho so figured I would report the bug.

Didn't know you had an app. Neat.

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

@mymind brave on Android. Onboarding is unusable. Bottom button can't be scrolled to:

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

@joshuadprice @TychoBrahe @Akaria Yup, my Pocket Casts feed goes back to 2018. Given how common back catalog listening is in podcasts, I can't imagine that this isn't a setting somewhere in the Apple Podcasts app.

@americanmcgee @ID_AA_Carmack I don't know how it stacks up to the other things you've done in your career but I had some of my best gaming experiences in Alice. Thanks for making cool stuff.

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

@patio11 I've wondered about the same thing, do you have any example outputs?

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

@dmwlff Ordered a soft cover via Amazon AU (thanks modernity). Interested!

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

@sious69 I opted out of the campaign specifically because they seemed to be trying to do 'all the things' and I lacked https://t.co/YGZ0dN6OZ6 their ability to make all those mechanisms sing.

Interested to see where you land on it long term.

The trailer for Oppenheimer just dropped.
The trailer contains 100% of the discernible dialog featured in the theatrical release of the film. Actors deliver other lines, of course, but the backing audio intentionally drowns those out.

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

@thatartem @garrytan "n,000 employees laid off from X" gives no info about what date that takes the co back to so far as headcount.

For Shopify, Stripe and Meta, the layoffs take the company back to roughly early 2021 headcount numbers.

Was hiring engineers difficult in January 2021?

@sious69 Kid approves of the Iron Man(s) and wants to know where spider man is. 👍

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

The most internet content that I've seen all year. I don't play any of these games but this is great.

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

@sious69 Think this is my fav MCP model.
This or Jugg but I think it's more the paint jobs on him rather than the model.

I'm going to have to add Elon to my filter words aren't I.

[Tom Dale @tomdale]

@r00k Notably, I was not in the reflexive Elon-hater camp. My perception was that he was a forceful engineering leader who has done untold good for humanity; but with some ugly personality traits that tarnished but didn't negate his accomplishments. (Not unlike SJ.)

[Wesley Walser @wewals]

Customer uses $platform for customer data & event management. I've never heard of them.

$platform has no public API. Have to talk to partner salesy person to get API docs.

The idea that building a better world is going to require incredible focus and competence is simply false.
