clicked on an underwear ad and keep reading this tab title like it's a blog post about some new language runtime feature that Shopify is cooking up

fake Cracking the Cryptic video thumbnail "Introducing the Shitoku" with Mark looking distraught and a puzzle with a bunch of poop emojis on it

roland @roooooland.bsky.social · 2h

maybe do a bit more brainstorming on the name, guys, "Introducing the Shitoku" sounds like a Cracking the Cryptic video about some gimmick turd-shaped puzzle

the building codes are written in crayon

excerpt from https://www.centerforbuilding.org/elevators:
In the 2006 edition of the IBC, the length of the stretcher to be accommodated was raised to 84 in., or 7 ft. (2.13 m). The code change was proposed by a member of the Glendale Fire Department, in Arizona, where there are still very few apartment buildings with elevators. The firefighter who proposed it said that he was concerned that a sports arena being constructed would have elevators that would not accommodate his local emergency responders' stretchers extended into a fully flat position. The cost impact was stated simply as "None." "Just think about if the patient was you," the proponent concluded in his reason statement. There was some debate and tweaking of the language that year and in a subsequent version at the urging of the elevator industry, but the proposal ultimately survived in a modified form, incrementally increasing the capacity of multifamily elevators to today's typical 3,500 lbs.

imo you deserve to be antagonized if you're going to go apeshit when someone creates a minuscule sample of the public firehose of the locked-open network that you blast all your posts onto

oh, for what it's worth: the block of users that we lost to this is all the more academic AI people. having them on twitter is probably worth somewhere in the billions of dollars to elon personally

Minard's visualization of Napoleon's invasion of Russia is so iconic

every Tufte-head's favorite graphic...but hang on, what's that right at the end in Moscow?

roland @roooooland.bsky.social · 1d

Oh for commit revisions, that makes sense. Thought you meant record keys for posts and stuff which surprised me because I figured any validation of those would be an appview concern.

To me it’s also kind of dissonant for her to go on Colbert and lament the culture of elite capitulation while her own husband remains a partner at Willkie

i'm starting to think there's a widespread object permanence problem, people get so indignant with the "stop looking at twitter then!" replies whenever this guy talks about what he sees happening

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 2d

it's surreal watching mainstream commentators who stayed on twitter just yukking it up with nazis, since drawing any kind of red line in that regard would be embarrassing and suggest that they care about things (deeply uncool!)

at a previous job it took me a while to realize that when the sales guys talked about putting something "in SFDC" it wasn't like, something something data cloud or whatever, it was Sales Force Dot Com

No one in the future is ever going to believe that S2 of Andor came out before this. It's going to be like a weird trivia thing.
