Twitter One is what drove me out of the company.
Quote Tweet
right now, a maniacally ambitious young PM is plotting to pitch a ground-up redesign of Twitter to flatter @elonmusk's ego and biases. it will be not unlike that time @jack's "Twitter One" redesign in that it will disrupt the entire company and, at launch, tank most core metrics twitter.com/caraesten/stat…

The most important part of a parent's job is teaching your kids basic, timeless life skills: reading, riding a bike, swimming, eating healthy food, being careful when clicking links in email, and thinking critically about the sociopolitical context of information on social media.

How do you map out an ocean voyage without a map?
Here’s an extremely cool example of a stick chart used by the Indigenous people of the Marshall Islands.
Shells are islands & threads are the direction of prevailing ocean waves & currents. What a neat representation.

This is the way. If you don't make every effort to flag an invention's Canadian-ness, you're at risk of having your passport canceled.

Btw, in case it wasn’t obvious, the easter egg is not only scrolling—it also mirrors resizing and text selection. 😏

This is really useful for meteor detection, which can be used to derive height when the same fireball is observed in stereo.

Target retirement date funds are great bc people are really bad portfolio balancing.
I wonder about the value equiv, i.e. UIs oriented around (an inflation-adjusted?) value at the target date. Market down 30%? You are down ~0-2%.
The current UIs charge a high emotional tax. twitter.com/Carnage4Life/s…

Each block was made of birch wood from the southern islands of Korea and treated to prevent the decay of the wood. The blocks were soaked in sea water for three years, then cut and then boiled in salt water. 5/

I like to imagine a mechanic emerging in greasy coveralls from under the boat, wrench in hand.
"Oh, yep, there's your problem right there."
"What is it?"
"No log rotation. Common problem in these Mercury outboards. Now, Yamaha use systemd in the 60HP and above units, but..."

I still can't get over the time my dad's boat didn't work because the motor had filled up its internal storage with error logs.

I sincerely appreciate the way has ratcheted up the "what the actual f is going on" factor for each book of her series as she builds trust with her readers. I think she's mastered negative exposition: dropping information that leaves you knowing less than before.

Are there Eurorack-like systems that have nothing to do with making audio? eg I can imagine a set with DC buck/boost converters, volt/ammeter, fuse blocks, relays, all with standard module sizes, a common ground plane, and phono interconnects. Does this exist?
