@Jowjoso oh my god yes. My morning meeting was dominated by someone who talks very loud and clips out their mic every other sentence or so. Starts me off on the wrong foot about 3 mornings a week

I think I would take a pay cut if my company would guarantee that everyone I work with was assigned reasonable audio equipment sent from this meeting where the presenter is discussing technical details of a product and he sounds like the msn gaming zone in fucking 2003

It’s only fair

No one should be allowed to delete a tweet if I’ve retweeted it

Not untrue, but I continue to enjoy publishing documents on it anyway 👹 https://t.co/eQmHMOdq0R

This is a really cool thread about using technology for evil 😈 https://t.co/bEnFsfqkT3

@tapbot_paul This drives me nuts, so many options are only available for a very short time. I basically gave up though, and have just ordered colored blank caps for non-alphanumeric keys. Cheap and readily available. May eventually get blanks for alphanumerics too, but that’s less convenient.

I’ve been looking for a nice set of keycaps for the last week. So hard to find something non gaudy, with Command keys that doesn’t cost a fortune. The one I really want is always probably discontinued. https://t.co/bY6NVIriFN

@OldObiBenKenobi @discourse Ha nah it was a Kibana question. The answer was that the thing I was trying to use just isn't working properly. I am working around this problem by just not using it the way I wanted.

I am at my wit's end, now willing to join a web forum and post publicly that I don't know what I'm doing. I sure hope to be subscribed to a 'Since your last visit...' email summary, as I'd like to read about other problems I can't solve also. Thanks @discourse !

It's Friday, so I want to share one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on. A few years ago, I built four eight-foot-long handwriting robots. We wrote many thousands and thousands of addresses on our direct mail, and wrote personal messages for high value prospects. https://t.co/kWXoHpgIyr

@notkavi It’s best to locate your servers in the closest data center to them according to this map, to minimize the effects of cultural latency

AWS has 4 regions for the US. Here's my classification of states into these regions, culturally https://t.co/5PTcIRyZ1v

It is very good that the replies are a bunch of people talking about switches. https://t.co/w0c63UHLda

"Hope, but verify." https://t.co/8SYzrJVUyo

As a general rule: wish each other well. Be epistemically humble. Hope, but verify. Better treatments, and even better vaccines, are likely coming. Do what you can to protect yourself today, including getting vaccinated if medically appropriate.

Indeed, early results from the Together Trial, a massive-scale rigorous study on early treatment protocols, show lackluster efficacy for ivermectin but considerable improvement in patients given fluvoxamine. Hope lives on for an effective early treatment for COVID!

As Kelsey noted in the podcast, fluvoxamine — another repurposed drug — has recent shown arguably greater promise in methodologically-sound clinical trials than ivermectin.

Because the discourse is dominated by pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine zealotry, treatment has taken a backseat, and we're really not talking much about what can help people after exposure or symptom onset. And for highly vulnerable people, vaccinated or not, that's crucial.

-On the object level, this isn't something to celebrate. In an ideal world, there would be lots of ways to prevent and treat COVID. Regardless, we can and should celebrate the people working to figure out what's going on — always. Always, always.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when these accusations and supporting evidence are published. I don't know how that will pan out, but for the time being, I agree with Kelsey: the somewhat tenuous evidence for ivermectin should probably now be considered *too* tenuous.

If this is true, it casts serious doubt on ivermectin's strongest use case: as prophylaxis. Depending on the extent of the fraud that can be proven or reasonably argued, it could also be very bad news for people hoping to use ivermectin for early treatment.

After taping the episode, Kelsey wrote Julia with a pretty stunning update. Screenshots from the episode transcript. https://t.co/Qhhsnnm7ho

Kelsey and Julia discussed the surprisingly strong media immune response to ivermectin, agreeing that it seemed disproportionate to the risk-benefit status of ivermectin. Messing with your gut biome might not be ideal, but if you're taking human doses, you're going to be fine.

Kelsey still didn't personally think the cost-benefit analysis panned out positively for most people, but she could easily understand — for example — a doctor without vaccine access taking ivermectin prophylactically.

Reviewing the literature, Kelsey didn't find the evidence for ivermectin for critical condition COVID patients convincing at all, but found that it may have a small effect on early mitigation of disease severity, and said it looked most promising as prophylaxis (with caveats).

@Rspodcast @juliagalef @KelseyTuoc I trust @KelseyTuoc. I consider her a friend. She was one of the first journalists to suggest the concern about the pandemic was reasonable, and early on she wrote a thread admonishing herself for expressing more concern amongst friends than she was willing to publish publicly.

Yesterday's @Rspodcast with @juliagalef & @KelseyTuoc on COVID-19 covered ivermectin, and included a pretty shocking final twist. Thread:

@sirsfurther I like them bc I am much less disoriented when I wake up from a nap ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And also bc I'm a nerd

Oo, look at you, aren't you rational and smart

I bought the other domain for this a year and a half ago and just yesterday actually worked on it.

With my blog, I started with Octopress, which uses Jekyll, which uses Ruby. This added so much bloat that it took 30s to generate my site (even if I just changed one character). As if that wasn't enough, I also had to regularly unbreak my Ruby config to publish or edit a post.

I then moved to Hugo, which a number of people have since noted is actually much worse in terms of regularly breaking itself, so I'm now pinned to an old version that has a huge number of bugs. https://t.co/dimuzf4ThM

This comment makes an under-appreciated point about the cost of dependencies. https://t.co/tsGEk3LZbg The places where I most regret taking a dependency are often very low effort projects (like the SSG for my blog), where the complexity of the dependency wasn't worth it. https://t.co/GLCli91qDb

@mhoye Also how have I never used command strips before?? These things are amazing.

@mhoye Update: I got these things. Still playing with how I want it hence the clamp. Got an extra 2 cheese plates and using command strips to attach to the Ergodox (as I still have not splurged on a Moonlander). https://t.co/kTgZgd6p5S

At some point dealing with Docker Desktop on my Mac is going to become more annoying than just sshing to my Linux machine. I’d rather pay for something good though! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like paying for things! Docker Desktop is a PITA because it constantly requires my attention. Can I pay for you to stop update notifications, stop sending me TOS updates, stop changing shit I don’t care about (like your pricing model) and go back to the background? https://t.co/9Pcv7kV8NG

@buckstefan OctoLinker from the same developer - also so fucking good! Have wished for GitHub themselves to do this. With it, reading someone else's code much nicer in browser - no need to clone it just so you can use an IDE to find the implementation of a function. https://t.co/yo0b2jL8Lz

yoooooo, just found the easter egg way in to @buckstefan's Jumpcat, which gives you a VS Code -style command palette on GitHub. It's dope. https://t.co/mqatl29IIO

Would someone PLEASE make an end-user focused Linux Container Technology Desktop For Non Linux Workstations (LCTDFNLW, catchy) and get all the users that Corporate Docker Corp, Incorporated seems desperate to lose? You could probably even charge money for it.

And you can of course safely ignore the same folks advocating for $800k a year salaries decrying the cost of a $5/mo tool.

And oh my god do all of the podman links in my mention miss the forest for the trees. https://t.co/pSLO97zs0d looks like the very open sourciest of projects in some of the worst ways. No shade to them, but it’s clearly not for business users, it’s for geeks.
