- @coates @grhmc With the bonus points for capitalizing on a typo… magnificent.
- @EmilyYager @grhmc How else do you get that “don’t shoot my inexplicably floating torso” look that is so hot right now?
- @grhmc I’m imagining a box that you put over your gas burner with an induction plate on top, and the heat in the box sets the temperature of the induction plate. Maybe partially powers it too? Induction for fossil fuel execs.
- @bencpye @samueldr @grhmc Yeah, I mean if there is a farmersonly.com instead of eie.io, we're really not using it to its full potential anyway.
- @filigreegirl @grhmc I've never seen a business like hotels that is so aggressive about not showing you a real price at any step of the purchase.
- @grhmc What a thing to tweet on a Monday morning.
- @grhmc I saw a snake and changed my whole view of climate change. Everything must go.
- @grhmc Personally I won't watch an R-rated movie with anyone more than 20 years older than me, but I think every child needs to decide for themselves what their parents are mature enough to handle.
- @ramsey @coates @Ocramius @grhmc @wimgtr I don't know what the practical implications of web3 are (maybe no one does yet?) but I do expect a lot of VCs to lose their money before we figure out out.
- @ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates I'm not saying Google has done no wrong, I just think it makes perfect sense why lots of sites work best in Chrome if you set aside idealism. I think it's awful for the web, and a lot of it is a catastrophe, but that's why I work with people who respect idealism and Good Work.
- @ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates They have done and continue to do a lot that is terrible for the web, but from a frontend perspective, Chrome is arguably a dream. It is cutting edge in terms of new features and it controls a huge majority on desktop and half of all mobile.
- @ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates They built projects like Dart, Angular and Web Components to give frontend devs tools they wanted (for better or worse). And their APIs and services were huge during Web 2.0 and continue to be extremely valuable, especially Google Fonts.
- @ramsey @grhmc @Ocramius @wimgtr @coates I think a big factor is that Chrome has been courting frontend developers aggressively for over a decade. They advanced built in browser dev tools in a major way. ...
- @grmpyprogrammer @grhmc I'm sure he has plenty of resources to recommend, but the pro move would be to look into his Nix training. It was a fantastic program that covered a lot of ground from syntax to best practices.
- @grhmc I was wondering if you know anything about the history or rationale of this behavior in Linux. Is it either necessary or desirable to the extent that it is worth the privacy trade-off?
- @FreezerbrnVinny @grhmc See the log of the chat with 1password support. I think there's an example there.
- @preinheimer @coates @grhmc Caroline uses that too. Seconded the recommendation.
- @dhess @grhmc pandemic-optimized keyboard layout
- @grhmc Another lesson to learn is to keep communication open and cancel/reschedule/postpone meetings if you need to. As fast as you safely could is probably not the same as as fast as you safely should. :-)
- @grhmc @firefox That investment has faded over time, and clearly it's not a priority for Microsoft going forward.
- @grhmc @firefox That said, I think building on Gecko would have been a much better choice, and would have made the whole ecosystem stronger.
- @grhmc @firefox My only qualm with the sudden panic here is that having under-supported engines like EdgeHTML might be slightly worse than not having them at all. Projects like Edge require significant investment, and if a company isn't committed to it, they're an anchor on the market.
- @coates @grhmc @railto @ramsey @AmbassadorAwsum @jperras I don't think people should stop trying to do better than XML, but I do think they need to try a lot harder than YAML.
- @grhmc They're going to lose more than followers by unfollowing.
- @grhmc Keen observation! Thanks!
- NixOS is high on my things to try list. It's steadily gaining steam due in part to the help of my pal @grhmc and partners like @packethost. twitter.com/grhmc/status/8…
- @grhmc In fairness, I don't think anything really prepares you for running a country. That's why we used to have checks and balances.
- @grhmc @ElizabethN Google is pretty aggressive toward Google Apps personal users. I ended up switching to plain ol' Gmail + mail forwarding.
- @grhmc You'll be delighted to know that it was the first thing I did this morning. And that it never actually went in to production use.
