@newsycombinator Hi! Why did you stop posting a link to the news.yc comments for each link? I found it useful if i wanted to see discussion after reading the article. (Idk if you will reply to me coz youre probly a bot)
As a digital pack rat, it always annoys me when I remember how much of my own pre-cloud data I am no longer able to recover
@wrongwaygoback no you can’t
@Westraid This seems oddly specific
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, 100 years old today. Thank you.
@gangbadoy panget ang response sa trial balloon nila e
Last night I was in a loo and a woman entered the only other stall crying. I did the awkward shout over and asked if she was ok or wanted to talk about it, or needed a hug
THIS IS FINE
Quoted CNN's tweet:More than one and a half soccer fields of Amazon rainforest are being destroyed every minute of every day, according to Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research http://cnn.it/2zeYTV6
Watch the video in the post. It’s 17 mins, but its great
Quoted kottke's tweet:Video showing the process (and impressive end result) of making a 658-page flipbook over three months by Laika animator Andy Bailey https://kottke.org/19/08/the-return-of-grumpy-cloud
@wrongwaygoback I really could have used this while i was travelling a couple of months ago!
I just put together a quick Sultai thing with the explore package since I’ve been playing that for a long time. Midway I realized I couldn’t use the the Wildgrowth Walker but went ahead anyway just putting in random things lol. I even forgot stuff like Vraska’s Contempt! I finished 6-1.

The sad story of what it’s like to work at Google today
Quoted jessiedotjs's tweet:Why did I leave Google? A thread.
This is all great, but one minor complaint: why is it Players Tour and not Player Tour? The first one sounds so weird. It’s not like we used to have a Pros Tour
When I feel confident in my own abilities IDK if I’ve overcome Impostor Syndrome or have succumbed to Dunning Kruger
I watched One Cut of the Dead at Eigasai today (great movie!), it reminded me of this (watch til the end): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gocwRvLhDf8
Open to questions on Java, JS, Python, software architecture, software development in general, career stuff, the Philippines, life in general. DMs are open. Quoted sehurlburt’s tweet:
For people who are in a position to give help: Post to your timeline every now & then that you’re open to questions. That makes a difference
After reading this I was reminded to do my next Google Takeout. https://qz.com/1683460/what-happens-to-your-itunes-account-when-apple-says-youve-committed-fraud/
This is great
Quoted joshuawongcf's tweet:More than thousand HKers sing Les Miserables’ ‘Do you hear the people sing?’ at HK international airport with their calls for free election and democracy. Here is the Ground Zero in the war against authoritarian rule. That’s the reason for us never surrender.
A while ago I discovered that for some reason, the Metrobank webapp has a publicly-accessible demo page: https://personal.metrobankdirect.com/RetailInternetPortal/MetrobankOnlineTour/view-account-summary.html. IDK if this is somehow a security issue or what lol
@marcopadillo pano mo nattrack ung kilometreage nung bike mo?
I like reading personal blogs. Can I have a link?
“I am out of sync with this world” was something I uttered in conversation today
TFW the coffee hasn’t kicked in, and you type “git status” in a chat window.
And they respond “nothing to commit, working tree clean”.
Strictly speaking, nothing we do is ever really necessary
Toni Morrison didn’t write her first novel until she was 40. So if you haven’t written yours yet, there’s still time.
Odds are it’ll be terrible. But, there’s still time.
I wonder if they’ll bother adding some logic to the next elder scrolls where npcs get offended if you place objects on them. Otherwise people are getting buckets on their heads again.
I watched this video of the old X-Men arcade game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgF_VMQ19aA where the White Queen is allied with Magneto and tries to fight the X-Men in CQC, and Colossus for some reason has the ability to project an explosive ball of energy from his body
@rovietoosin why? :p
huh, that’s the us price? i’m in the philippines, the price here is around 30usd for pass 1 and around 12usd for pass 2, weird
Why is fighter pass 2 so much cheaper than fighter pass 1
I know it would be weird, but I kind of want @ArcSystemWorksU to do the next Marvel vs Capcom because MvC deserves this level of animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAJUvy4ibeA&feature=youtu.be
Welp, successfully upgraded to Win 10 1903
I dont think I have it this bad (normally anyway), but I have gone through each of these steps at some point (and on occasion still do), so I find this image highly relatable
Quoted ADHD_Alien's tweet:My totally unscientific explanation of why I quit everything I start and how everything gets too overwhelming. Bigger Version on my homepage!

Woke up to the sound of falling rain
@switchfollows ive never heard of this channel lol
I still feel the emotions from this moment to this day
Consider this my good deed of the day:
Back in 2008 two bodybuilders were arguing on the Internet about how many days are in a week.
It is one of the greatest Internet threads of all time.
If you haven’t read it, stop what you are doing and read it: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751&pagenumber=
Huh, apparently billing information is now required for the Google Maps API even if you just want to test locally. Well, you can get away without it if you’re willing to load only 1 map per day lol
I am bummed at how sad Ono was about the #StreetFighterV leak though. I’m actually still hoping this is a fake-out and they have more stuff to announce after the Evo finals!
I feel like I’m going to be tempted to get the 3 new SFV characters even though (a) SFV isn’t in the best place right now; (b) I’m not very good at the game anyway; (c) I’m probably still gonna be using Ryu all the time lol
Best email unsubscribe button story i’ve ever come across. Quoted Joe8Bit’s tweet:
I saw a tweet asking why sometimes when you unsubscribe from an email list it says it can ‘take a few days’. Buckle up, as I have a RIDICULOUS story about this happening in The Enterprise™️…
@visakanv What are examples of these great daily bots
Forget about “Find my iPhone”, someone should invent “Find my glasses”
@jaymelynilao saan yan?
Thanks!
I’m happy there’s an oldschool Grixis Shadow list there because I haven’t played Modern for a while and that’s the last deck I had and I was looking at MC Barcelona and I didn’t recognize the landscape at all and no more Grixis Shadows. IDK if I want to spend on the Knight-Captains right now to transition to Esper or Mardu. If I take my old Grixis Shadow list to a local modern tourney, how bad are the matchups with the current meta decks?
I seem to be constantly shuffling between hyperfixation/tunnel vision on one particular thing and analysis paralysis from having too many things to do
the best thing about the upcoming Eternals and Shang-chi movies is that I know next to nothing about these characters so I have no idea what to expect
The world is harsh and cruel and unfair. If we behave the same way, we support the status quo. Therefore, we have a responsibility to do what we can to be better than the world.
@kierongillen This reminds me of “SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT” from Rick and Morty https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Cromulons
