In big surprise, minutes after Rs paid millions for their new Supreme Court justice, the constitution is shredded.

unpopular opinion- "software engineer" should be illegal unless you have licensure as determined by your jurisdiction. It gives a false impression of how high the error rates are in code, relative to say civil engineering.
By the way, I got a python centric twitter acct: @trainsnake - where I try to only post stuff for a python writing audience.
If we can't do anything about the courts, can we at least teach society that a latte is not supposed to be served at a rolling boil and take 1/2 an hour to cool down? Maybe a subagency in Department of Education.
Not looking forward to Kavanaugh getting revenge on his enemies, which appears to be everyone except some rural folk.
Where does Kavanaugh stand on concentration camps for immigrants & their children?

What are people doing to get notifications when code is checked into github? Github's service for that went away 4 days ago. #github
The official page is sort of like "well, write your own app to do that"

IDEA: thermally insulated pants so your laptop (well, your overheating macbook) doesn't burn your legs as it sits on your lap.
#Hurricanepython I think there is some BS going on in this hash tag and it is getting deeper by the minute. Like a flood. Seek higher ground.
At conference- I want to hear the talk in the other room, but I'm at a seat where I can reach a power outlet. 2.5 hrs to recharge this laptop battery. I wish Apple OS X did more to manage power usage, this machine really only has 1 mode: set the CPUs on fire.
One latte for Aiedojoorvi! https://x.com/dashdashado/status/1048238101615788032

It is easier to find out what code is on a Metronic device by searching job listings than to ask the company

Idea- when medical devices (which often broadcast an ID) are common enough, we'll have the equivalent of mandatory ID, at least for anyone that ever needed a medical device implanted.
Medical devices, like heart fibrillators, have wireless & no security features. Wild, wild west wrt to regulation.
My unpopular opinion- it should be open source & patented (ie filed with Patent office & public code, but proprietary so companies will invest $)
Forget room temperature fusion, our physicists and chemists should be working on room temperature cola. This stuff tastes nasty without ice.
Alrighty, broadcasting live from the Pygotham conference in NYC on unencrypted conference wifi. Please don't steal my passwords, okay? The xyzzy123 one is my banking one and it would really suck for that one to leak.

Same, but Atari. For my own kids tho- their machines put youtube & games in the front & they didn't write code unless I sat with them & wrote code with them. The 80s was a golden age for kids programming. https://x.com/gmsmith/status/1047745453205409792
re: Lyft tips- I try to tip an amount that brings the price up to what a red cab would cost. How can I supports a $15 min wage & when I am a microemployer (ie cab customer) & still tip an amount that guarantees less than $15 an hour?

Made it to the Acela on time. 5:40AM... what as I thinking.
No action needed? There is a vigil tonight, lots of campaigns need an ActBlue donation, volunteers needed, voting in less than 2 months.
It is the Tuck Frump signal!
Anyone want to fund my plan to tunnel search queries to Google? Oh, that's Yahoo- already been done. https://x.com/arlogilbert/status/1047111389247156225

KATA: Write a web browser that has a usable UI when each request and response takes 3 to 22 minutes, i.e. the time it takes for data to go from Earth to Mars. I'll check in 44 minutes to see if anyone has any opinions about this.
Ford F-150 Hybrid coming in 2020, likely to get about 30MPG, or similar to a Toyota Highlander. It could easily dislodge the Tacoma as the most popular truck in Takoma, MD.

I'm reading about IPFS, a distributed file system with no way to delete anything. Seems like it would be vulnerable to crapflooding.

This manifest-checker -- someone wrote it to read your manifest file & write suggested include clauses. If it has no suggestions, then it means all the include/exclude decisions are explicit instead of random & unpredictable.

The http://MANIFEST.in file is yet another barftastic part of the http://pip-setup.py-pypi cluster-f*k. The documentation is mostly poop smeared on a monitor.

Go ahead, sniff the documentation! That should be my report to folk that think the answer is always "read the documentation"

I'm okay with no more seats being filled on the Supreme Court ever. A check & balance filled with Sean Hannity-lite isn't a check.
Yes. You are a developer in the DC market, some day you may need to work on a military or federal contract. If your credit is damaged due to identity theft, you will be unemployable. https://x.com/mjdamron/status/1046491904249155584
The best time to be a small donor 2 a cause is when there is a flood of other people doing it. My $10 for funding time travel is the only $10, it isn't helping
But ActBlue right now is a tsunami of money. It is the best place to donate to reverse immigrant infant & child prisons
Doesn't look like a job interview to me- no white board, no judging exercises for him to do. They could at least ask to recite the constitution replacing every 3rd word with fizz, every 5th word with buzz, while drinking beer, but without making passes at the stenographer. https://x.com/Miller_Geek/status/1046094020236185600
