The only winning move is not to play. Or save yourself by answering some gibberish.

Want to know what I'm up to at @valence_ai ? We're launching a newsletter for @Polaris_HQ, the product that's occupying a lot of my time. We have cool things brewing and that's a good way to keep updated.

I mean, "Give us money or we'll sue you and sic our rabid user base on you" is certainly a clear statement of the value prop for advertising on Twitter, you have to give them that. No marketing BS here, no sir...

Drug discovery is critical, but so hard. And I wouldn't be working for @valence_ai if I didn't believe ML could play an outsized role in making it easier. But how do we know we're on the right path? By having a North Star to steer by. It's been a great privilege to work on this.

It's hard to imagine, but before ICQ, going online was a solitary activity. Every interaction was asynchronous: web, newsgroups, email... ICQ was the first time it felt like other people were there with you, at the same time, seeing the same things, living the same reality.

Great thread that succinctly recaps what it feels like to work with Suspense in React, at least for me. The benefits are nice, but it feels clunky that the parent needs to know about the children component's behavior.

I make heavy use of color bars in the file gutter indicating Git diffs, with contextual pop-up showing the diff and actions (revert, copy etc.) I missed these too much and went back to PyCharm.

The cryptography lib in Python puts its primitives under a module literally called "hazmat", and I think that's the kind of vibe you want for them.

The Conda folks will tell you it's so much easier to use than pip. Then they have you pick and manually install one of four possible apps, that all have almost, but not quite, the same CLI commands, and point it at one humongous release channel that has all the packages, anyway.

Fun fact : the JavaScript engine of the Mac version was built by a different team than the Windows version, so it behaved differently in some cases. You needed fancy user agent parsing to handle it.

So you're going to put $300 millions worth of highly sought-after GPUs on a boat, out in international water, and brand it a sovereign nation state. If you think your "kinetic risk mitigation" can stop what's coming for you, you truly are "An Alternate Reality Corporation"...

I sincerely don't care, as long as your documentation is clear and explicit on the inputs your endpoint expects from me and the outputs it will send back my way. But so help me God, if you send me a 200 status code with an error response, I will end you.

My dude, I'm going to blow your mind... There's this framework now, for JS, that let's you build reactive components. You define how your UI should be based on state, and when the state changes, the UI updates. Check this out : backbonejs.org

GitHub Actions won because the alternative in most orgs isn't some slick, modern purpose built SaaS. It's going to be a Jenkins pipeline.

And even that is a stretch. Cloud Spanner supports PostgreSQL in all the ways that do not matter. The one way anyone actually cares about (connecting your app to a DB using existing PG clients) requires you to deploy, run and scale an adapter service on the side.
