This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      Why NTP? There is this nice, free and omnipresent thing called GPS, which are essentially space clocks so precise you can time your position on the planet to a few minutes. Got a watch that syncs with GPS, never had to set it or update time zones.

      I know Artem well 🙂 Tone lost in translation... He’s never condescending but often puzzled by how people get to different solutions to technical problems than him. He’s personally capable of getting to all of them. Uber hacker.

          I guess. Tone struck me as way off for someone who should know that GPS doesn't work well indoors.

          Well, peace gentlemen, you’re both clearly too good as hackers to let some insomniac miscommunication and translation losses get in the way of appreciating each other’s projects 🙂
