I call almost 0 meetings, spend 1/2 my week in zoom meetings. I think because they are so AWFUL in terms of providing feedback to anyone that mgmt just keeps cranking up the number of meetings.

This was really bad UX. These alerts should not wake people up. It is not actionable at 4:30AM. & google-android won't fix it until this happens a few times to some Product Manager in California. https://twitter.com/rheckart/status/1317083221989986305

Twitters back. It was awful. No jokes, no doom. All I could do was work.

Usenet is back! You can finally read everything you missed the first time around. First thing, time to see if I can assemble all the posts necessary to download a pirated copy of Lotus 1-2-3

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 1 to destroy.

Yes, but this was usually an organizational trait rather than a trait of specific people.

What are we today? (seems like most people called Ada the first programmer)

Hot take: Estonia's E-residency is http://login.gov with a better story.

I'm already an e-resident of the Amazon, so this would be natural next step.

Surprise! The 30-foot screen on the stage is the new iPhone. The ladder to reach the upper parts costs $1500 extra.

13 is only divisible by 1 & itself. Indeed a primeday.

Wonder if it would be a good interview question to find all the prime days between jan 1 & dec 31

The Altair 8800 could display only 1 or 2 character wide (a handful of blinkin lights). So why are we using the 1928 standard of 80 characters? We could support so many more devices formatting to 1 char wide or two if we want to strain our eyes. https://x.com/SAGExSDX/status/1315769102812749825

This is a new feature. Every time you do a search for an "affordable" house within walking distance of a metro stop, Redfin laughs & laughs & laughs and then shows 0 results.

Harsh, but this UI has a point.

Trains won't be safe until we have a new administration. When I ride trains, I have a cold may 8-10 months of the year. https://x.com/nytimes/status/1314702986564767746

A SPAC is a company formed to buy stuff. That is it, that is whole motivation. It is some sort of way to dodge burdensome IPO requirements. The shell company goes public, then buys the company that would otherwise have to go through an IPO.
