@thomasfuchs Heck, I'd go for just "small company I work for" to do that!! So tired of shipping "not ready" code.

@thomasfuchs Secretly I get the same little thrill when I hear about a woman school shooter as I do when I hear about a woman winning the Nobel Prize or becoming head of state. "Look! women can do that too!" Kinda broken 🙂

@thomasfuchs I fondly recall the UNIX-haters mailing list, which had this rule to reduce mailing list volume: "when considering a reply, ask yourself, will this response be appropriate next week? If so, post it next week. If not, it is not appropriate now."

@thomasfuchs Unfortunately, "duckduckgo" as a verb doesn't fall trippingly off the tongue...

@inthehands sadly it's 45 squared!

@thomasfuchs my ipad 4 mini apparently is - I couldn’t install the delta airlines app! Said it needs ios 16 and apparently 15 is all I can get.

@thomasfuchs Seems like my 2015 model S is pretty much peak Tesla. The steering wheel is round, it has an FM radio, while it has some driver assist, it's all optional, so it lets you control where you're going if you so choose, so you don't back into a pond and sink. Seems like newer models are worse in most ways! So maybe it's a good idea to lay off the team!

Power production today was odd. It's almost like something blotted out the sun for a bit...

#eclipse

@thomasfuchs Issue with Tesla manual: It's on the touch screen. I guess I could try to download and print it? But then it would be out of date next software update!

"I bought it before we knew how bad he is" 🙂 (Also, I have a 2015 model S which has more physical controls than a 3 or Y - or apparently a newer S.)

@thomasfuchs Hey! I learned Fortran from that book in 1981!

@thomasfuchs My favorite partial eclipse viewing technique is with a colander to make a million pinhole cameras. It's best if you have an unwrinkled sheet of paper to project onto.

@nova Why is there no #news item on the web interface? I thought I saw one on some other instance's web interface. but don't remember where.
