YouTube music looks like it is up, (but last time I tried, it only plays 1 song...even though I have youtube red)

Samurai used to test out new swords on peasants. Seems like we're creating a similar class of killers with no consequences.

1 hour, four emails, 1 fax, 2 waiver forms, 1 slack convo, three conversations later...

I have my flu vaccination.

On one hand, we want everyone vaccinated, on the other hand, the bureaucracy is wracked with fear of everything.

GUID-twitter is the best twitter. Always something new. https://x.com/Pilchie/status/1052255377574649856

Anyone with a polysci degree able to evaluate this? https://x.com/thehill/status/1052235520951156736

Have you seen this GUID? https://x.com/mistersql/status/1052248638913728512/photo/1

There is an expectation of privacy for an anonymous twitter account:

All readers on wikipedia, who read enough eventually end up at "Absorbing Markov chain"

The artists didn't show Lincoln's face because he doesn't approve of this BS. https://x.com/kenklippenstein/status/1051646153698234368

imho, !important should have been a 5000 character command to keep people from putting it on each line.

OMFG. The #Juypter notebook community expects people to use a 3rd party utility to clear output. Why don't the maintainers just drive over the the users of #Juypyter notebooks and rob them?

This is the state of the art for removing secrets from ipynb's
https://intoli.com/blog/jupyter-notebooks-git/ https://x.com/mistersql/status/1051860259696832513

ipynb (#jupyter) notebooks cache outputs & make it difficult to remove the cached data. So it could have API key in it and you wouldn't know until you posted it to a public location & all of a sudden bit coin mining machines appear on your AWS account.

Security score: 💩💩💩💩💩

I had to post this review to even out the rating score for my favorite programming manual as a kid. 1980s software development was equal parts pure magic & pure frustration.

xbox one's kinect (2013) - I'm thinking of upgrading from xbox 360

IDEA: vacation to [Hawaii, Taiwan, Toronto, etc] where you just buy the mug, T-shirt, bobble head from E-bay and get them delivered to your house.

DC Metro riders- with the new tax law is there any incentive to using employer deduction services like WageWorks?

Interesting way to fight climate change: refuse to use crypto currency. There is a really good alternative: paper fiat currency! You hate gubmit? There is still a good alternative: gold bullion! Hate that that you can't eat gold? Bouillon cubes! https://twitter.com/andrewgdotcom/status/1051059968298889216

So you can make someone involuntarily host a website if you let them post user generated content that includes a link. That "website" exists as long as the link exists (& I guess the bootstrap site that has the JS).

This is going to be used for some malicious stuff, I'd bet. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1050746155590660097

So it pulls down js from http://itty.bitty.site & then that JS on client side reads the data following # (which doesn't get sent to remote server) & then the JS bootstrapper loads up a webpage on the client.

Host entire website in a URL. This is one crazy architecture. https://x.com/joyofui/status/1050741595773886464

(good) IDEA: api-key/password search utility that runs on module import & search source (or compiled binary) for secrets in own module.
- git hook - only runs if you register a git hook
- module load - highly likely to be run even by the least responsible of developers

Let's put the results somewhere...maybe

result[kind + "Results"]["results"]["results"]

on average 1-2 congressmen die each year. Kind of a slow way to flip the legislature. (Viruses, cancer cells & bacteria all get a vote)

There, now it is all data. https://twitter.com/18F/status/1050374960986783744

Get rid of the first three types and you have most folks mental model of C++, Python, etc. Sad there is good name for it- the universal type is a Union[(x: x is Type)] https://x.com/ExpertBeginner1/status/1050374961045614592

I just want to run "pip install --upgrade pip" as a tweet and have it executed on all machines in the world so all these machines stop asking me to update it.

META: a service that auto replies to tweets that should have been DMs.

Place holder for the architectural diagram. Just need to replace that bottom piece without the top falling down & most of our architectural pains will go away. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1050045166696980480/photo/1

This is an elaborate form of genocide. https://x.com/EdKrassen/status/1049787842463981569

IDEA: Deadman's keyboard. You hold down all keys and lift up on the key you want to type. I guess it helps dead people type.

Alexa : <whispering on the phone> Come get me, I think by this guy's voice patterns he's nuts and likely to throw me against the wall.

Personal action will solve the problem of hunger, unemployment, and so on FOR YOU

Personal action, alone, won't save us from climate change, institutionalized racism, institutionalized sexism, mass poverty, conventional or nuclear war

We act as a mass or we act negligibly alone https://x.com/adamjohnsonCHI/status/1049519866154242048

Personal action, in absence of all the complicated things that lead to mass change, isn't enough.
Womans rights? Handfuls of people cared for centuries before mass action happened.
Civil rights? Personal action led to no progress for 100 years
Veg*nism? 0 impact for 100s of years https://x.com/adamjohnsonCHI/status/1049519866154242048

IDEA: Squatty Potty is a real product already. I could sell the Sitty Shitty.

Before this election cycle, I don't think I ever gave more than a trivial amount to campaigns outside of my own jurisdiction. Vote at home, write checks to all senatorial campaigns, or nothing will change. Folk like Beto should give us hope.
