@feld I'll only make sites with horizontal scroll from now on

@feld "Matthew wishes that he picked these 6 lottery numbers yesterday. 'I would have won!'"

@feld @breiter @mbonsma the feds might wonder why I can recognize the smell of meth 😂

@mbonsma yeah, I've had drivers scream at me because I walked across a crosswalk protected by a stop sign and I "came out of nowhere".

@breiter @mbonsma that's terrible! You'd think that they would just look the car up.

I'm in DC too, actually. I just moved here last month. That other thing I mentioned was at Judiciary Square station.

@codingquark I actually like regex. I think the main thing that is missing is basic arithmetic. For example, I would like to be able to substitute a capture group for the result of `$1 + 1`

@aral @djoerd @osf Ads don't need to be bad though. Small, unobtrusive and privacy respecting ads like the ones on readthedocs can be a good way to fund infrastructure without paywalling everything

@feld maybe www with gophercore design

The 1995 website for Auction Web (later eBay) is so vintage that it actually looks modern.
