I recently saw Peter Hyams' BUSTING (1974) for the first time and realized that the iconic foot chase in Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS (1992) seems to be paying homage to it. Fantastic debut films from two brilliant filmmakers.
One nice thing about lame duck Twitter is that there’s no reason to judiciously mute anymore. Why just block bots, grifters, and hate speech? Block sealions! Block blue dudes! Block your boss! Block your family! Block anyone! Take off and block the site from orbit!
It shows incredible foresight that Elon built a rocket capable of launching a payload into the sun at a crowdfundable price point right before he became the most hated person on the Internet.
Hi friends! I'm in the market for new employment! I've been doing rust/go and language design and database read path work for the last few years. I'm also heavy in python dev. Would be interested what's out there.
If you’re doing something more experimental than React on AWS and you want an intern/apprentice til EOY please let me know! I’ve been doing devrel recently but before that I coded for 20 years in damn near everything
@DonMacAskill I’m on https://t.co/VSd5TrSnNP but it’s definitely having trouble scaling. Happy to send you an invite that would let you in, but another server might provide a better experience right now.
@nfarina xmldoc is great! I used it and loved it, but eventually wrote parse-xml because I thought a non-streaming parser could be faster for my needs. I included xmldoc in the benchmark because it's hard to find anything else comparable; other JS XML parsers play loose with the spec.
Need to parse XML in Node.js or browsers? It happens to all of us sometimes.
👋 Say hello to parse-xml 4.0.0!
🚀 Now written in TypeScript, up to 2.5x as fast, and with an even smaller (3.9 kB min+gzip) browser build. Still zero dependencies. https://t.co/ctmIZA53b1
@Oaktag Good news! I was an extra in THE HUNTED (2003) starring Tommy Lee Jones, who was in JFK (1991) with Kevin Bacon. Which gives you a Bacon number of 3!
