Ill trained unequipped bros with guns hopped up on adrenaline with impunity- what did we think would happen?

@amszmidt no problem - I appreciate your help

@amszmidt Thanks - I'm looking to see if someone has implemented this in SF Symbols (or one of the other standards)

Has anyone created a set of sf symbols for knitting- thinking again about writing an app

@jrose @griotspeak I mean - his accent - pure Minnesotan.

@airspeedswift there’s so much about this I don’t understand. The wording and premise are awful. Also “give any real zeros” - again I hate the wording, the polynomial is factored, what could be happening between 3 and 7 hours? How is the marginal income increasing so dramatically after 10 hours? How many hours sounds like there’s a single answer. Sorry but this question angers me

@georgetakei so much winning

@inthehands @heidilifeldman it’s easier to take a stand earlier. Later may not come

@inthehands I almost didn't post to that thread but did so because of your rules. I probably wouldn't have otherwise

@inthehands this includes people who vote for him thinking “he can’t mean me”

@inthehands @marick @donaldball near me some trails have speed limits for bikes.

@marick @inthehands I so agree - I hate the electric ones that don’t require pedaling

@marick @inthehands yes - though at times supply is limited. I ordered mine at a local shop and they had to cancel my order so I got mine at REI. I’ve had it for four years and didn’t use it as much this year as others. As Paul said, it was the test ride that sold me. The electric is only an assist - I’m still biking but it smooths out hills and stops. I have the foldable one so I can put it in my car. It is quite heavy

@inthehands all of that. My only complaint is that the striker for the bell was mounted on a flimsy spring and is long gone

This may be a stupid question but...

At @swiftserverconf I saw Tony Parker talk about the process of reimplementing Foundation in Swift and then @airspeedswift introduced a way to communicate with Java from Swift (with the goal of transitioning Java to Swift).

So the question is - why can't there be nice wrappers for Metal. I think many of the obstacles in getting devs to adopt Metal would be removed if we could write shaders in Swift not in C.

I am likely missing something that prevents this

@inthehands isn’t this good advice for listening to anyone?

My friends in other countries may not know the phrase "who peed in your cornflakes" but the answer for me are the NBC commentators anchoring the DNC who can't stand to see a happy joy-filled room of Democrats in Array.

Thank you to the Prags. I worked there as their first development editor (other than Dave and Andy) around this time and it helped me heal. I was honored when they offered to distribute this book.

@marick @inthehands my main flow is because I know I can and live to edit, when I record I will often pause in the middle of a phrase, pause, and say it differently.

I then use Hindenburg to aggressively edit - a ten minute session may end up three minutes. In the old days a one hour interview may become 5-10 minutes.

Finally I use isotope to clean up the sound and normalize the levels

@inthehands @marick :-) it would be the quickest way for me to find out how little I know
