Seriously?

i find the passive-aggresive emojis in these "response" blog posts amusing.

that's interesting thought. i wouldn't be surprised if (big if) twitter opens up again and young developers embrace it for the first time (and old devs come back).

it clearly still has mindshare.

i remember a game very similar to this (that i used to participate in and do very poorly) back around mid 90s that people used to play online. except you'd use things like archie and gopher. i don't remember the details but someone(s) would come up with questions and you'd have to find the answers online using these tools (before google).

anyone remember this game? my recollection is hazy but i think the questions were sent out periodically and teams would rush to get them all answered first.

I wonder if they considered having the pistol pointed upward or diagonally. It does seem menacing when it's pointed straight to the left (or right). Not so much if it were pointing in a different direction.

agree. all these "fixes" are to change what twitter is. twitter is a short-form, _immediate_ publishing platform. it's great for what's happening _now_. i don't want to read long-form pieces that took 2 days of editing.

i think moments and periscope are good steps. not perfect, but they emphasize _now_.

i can't get my head around a car and a human driver sharing the driving duties at the same time. if you can't trust the car to do everything correctly, then what am i supposed to do as a driver?

sit there tensely with my right foot and hands hovering over the brake pedal and steering wheel?

reads like a PR piece. does Amazon Echo really need a "the real story" piece? it's barely been out...

this is a cultural/ethical/social issue. not an economic one. you can't have the rich without the poor.

t.co links will now open properly in safari

what's the point? none of them are realistic.

"no code" - well, it's there for a reason. "own it" - do i really want to write my own minimal implementation?

i understand that dependency is a pita but this post doesn't provide anything worthwhile.

i've been using mac os x as my primary os since the first version (still do on my MBA) and i've never gotten the impression that their software quality was any good: finder, itunes, etc.

a DSL should be able to offer more than the ability to define symbols as operators, no?

good news: upsert works, bad news: select doesn't work

why not a real example of a small company spending too much on packaging? hard to make an argument without one.

what am i doing with my life?
