I have unpopular opinions about managing software. I will give one to you for each fav I get on this toot until I run out.

My 4yo daughter is home sick and she's texting me. She can't read but she knows how texts work and she knows about the emoji keyboard. So I get stuff like this:

My daughter is practicing her letters and to show a good example I was practicing along with her, with different letters.

It's really weird to me how I see teenagers wearing Stranger Things gear. It makes me wonder what they're connecting to.

These legends. These absolute taiko drumming legends.

You don't need amps to perform if you're a bunch of badasses.

What must it be like to look at your religious affiliation as something to be proud of and not a source of deep shame and harm?

I'm jealous of the members of this temple.

Obon Festival in Mountain View.

Just read all of Dr. Stone that's been published in one sitting. Fun stuff.

Playing a bunch of smash ultimate today, slowly starting to see actual results with the Belmonts.

I actually had one dude in the discord complaining they were OP. He was playing Link. Idk what to even tell him other than there is more to zoning than pressing the projectile button under a platform.

I'm just gonna leave this here without explanation other than a stupid grin.

Part of the reason I don't trust Leninists: I've met plenty of TERF and anti-LGBT Marxist-Leninists. I've never even heard of such an Anarchist.

Spent too much time today arguing with a terf on Twitter.

Probably the most absurd part is how folks insist that Bitcoin can be "fixed" and then cite the lightning network. Lightning can only secure on-chain assets. If every Venezuelan tried to make a deposit to make funds available for LN, and they got a special free dispensation to use the entire chain for themselves, it'd take 16 years to get that all set up.

Bitcoin was the first working distributed cryptocurrency, but due to the selfishness and gullibility of its community it could also be the last.

The reason Libra is going to make progress in the cryptocurrency space is because the space is full of folks who refuse to iterate or solve the technical problems of Bitcoin.

It's sad, it was a chance for open source and open math to shine. But everyone got so greedy and lost focus on pushing the technical progress of the system, and thusly they have stood still allowing big slow tech companies to thunder in.

I wish the news would cover the Amazon Strike.

Neural networks harness the power inherent in light to perform recognition on handwritten digit by embedding the framework in glass.

This is astounding.

Readability of code is a virtue, but it's a virtue who's value is distorted by capitalists hoping to make every engineer replacable with as little formal training as possible.

I have been considering spending money buying ad time to air pro-anarchist ads on YouTube over Prager U, the David Pakman show, and that dipshit Tim Pool's show.

I bet I could make an unbeatable Kickstarter just soliciting donations to do this.
