@brianvan I mean like everything with kids it's complicated! The systems we use to rank and support schools are inherently biased and people use that to make decisions.

Fellow white Ditmas BK parents, PS139's enrollment is falling as this neighborhood grows. Apparently we're sending our beloved little garlic cloves to other school$. But it's a GOOD SCHOOL. Why move to this diverse neighborhood and not go there? DMs open for justifications.

@RickWebb@slavin_fpo@heyitsnoah@richziade This is real why isn't there a feature anywhere to automatically border a box shape with a properly fitted left or right squiggle bracket?

@xuhulk The founding trainers intended a government where you'd start on the local city council then evolve your way up to Congress, then Senate or Government, and eventually evolve into President. But then Pokédollars got involved.

Generations aren't real things, merely undefined social constructs that make it easy for people in the culture industry to ascribe significance to large swaths of pop culture, but that has nothing to do with why I won't vote for Bulbasaur for president.

I'm REALLY proud of our small-but-growing @PostlightStudio for making a commitment to parental leave, proud of @merefranz for pushing for it to happen, and proud that we have welcomed EIGHT kids with four more kids on the way. postlight.com/...

The nice young lady selling me new clothes at the big & tall store just got out of a programming boot camp, and we're going to talk through her portfolio over email.

My kids are playing a game where you make puns with the states, like “Where do pencils live?” (Pennsylvania) and so far I've got “How does Tommy Wiseau greet the letter ‘O’?” and “What do you call someone who is extremely cautious about small valleys aka dells?”

It's so amazing that they titled a crime drama set in Boston "The Departed" so that you HAVE to do an accent when you say it, it's like titling an Australian movie "A Good Day to Die" or a New York movie, "Your Europe."

@RickWebb Harper's removed me as a contributing editor by asking me to take my name off the masthead, since they had yet to hire anyone else who could update the site.

@pjux Hahaha fair I totally can take that feedback, although I do fund a girl's hacker space in Liberia called little:SMART:go. But also I'm parched from biking and WOULD take some water, what are my choices here?

@pjux Sucks! that reminds me, i would love to concept w your leadership on revolutionizing the yerba supply chain using our ecosystem as a service platform. if I sent you a deck could you pass it on to a man?

Friends @richziade and I are doing an extra-nerdy evening live podcast recording at @PostlightStudio here in NYC, Thursday, April 11 at 6PM meetup.com/... come and eat the food and drink the drink and listen to us make fun of technology gently for 30 minutes.

@amyhoy Wait, holy crap. If I say, my wife just got her period, it absolutely knows to use the word. There is a lot of stuff nested in this model of the English language. It appears that in 2019 Google has fully acknowledged menstruation.

@amyhoy So yeah, there are probably a few kinks to work out, but in reality how often do you use the word p e r i o d? I guess it might be problematic for women who shed their uterine lining. But that's what like 2% of the population?

@amyhoy Yeah the pitocin is real. North Dakota. Galapagos. Calapan. An opticon. Can opticon. Panopticon. Holy s*** I got it. Now let's try to stop. Stop does not work. You have to say. I'm trying to say. It keeps adding punctuation what I try to say P e r i o d. The word.

@amyhoy Look, I actually love typing. It's how I compose and think. But on mobile it's a nightmare, and I love being able to dispatch emails or deal with Slack stuff using a phone. And it's really really good.

It's not better, it's just faster, but there is no feature more important than speed, and that lack of server delay makes it feel like It's a living responsive entity, instead of a computer talking to a service.

The new on-board speech to text processing on the Google Pixel 3 is so ridiculously good that it feels like uncanny super future magic. It's changing my perception of how you could work in the future. The speed of it now that it doesn't need to hit a server makes it uncanny.

The problem is actually when we import the heaven element it's bringing with it RDF namespaces in the attribute that identifies which heaven and apparently we overwrote those namespaces in <!ENTITY section of the original DTD but that's offline—wait I'm not explaining it correctl

It's good to see people celebrating but I'm East Coast Orthodox WWW. On October 1, 2024, I will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the W3C and the 38th birthday of ISO 8879:1986 Information processing (SGML). To celebrate, we open the tags of heaven and close the tags of hell.

@sogrady@redmonk@SlackHQ 1) it was BAD before, I do not want to go back, and the cross-organizational channels are really something special; 2) if that's failure then i don't want to succeed!

@Aelkus MacOS didn't have a terminal and it was great. But batch-ey daemon-ey things like web servers, and the desire to run and manage them everywhere, you might as well have a terminal. Also pipes are an amazing light stream based programming interface that operate right on files.

@goldman Your honor let the record show that the photograph entered into evidence shows how the skin, stems, and seeds, and other remains of the poor victims were strudel over the room.

This week has been rough with the snow day, sick kid, freezing cold, overdue library books, infirm parents, impending doom, missing deadline, normal nightmares, crowded bus, hole in sweater—however, I bought a three pack of four-color clicky pens.

on the downside it's a snow day and there are six kids at our house but on the upside i just heard a cover of uptown funk done by alvin and the chipmunks

Does anyone else remember a kid's book where they were crossing west for the territories and the dad would read from the book of Habbukuk? I think it was a super famous book but no luck.

@laura_june I think it's just such a good story about something people think is very romantic, also she was beautiful and pagan, so it just sort of was perfect

It's always embarrassing when, after months of fighting it, you realize how to structure an essay, because it's always something like "write it as a letter to your kids for them to read ten years from now."
