@mattl @robmyers @amanicdroid They withdrew it after a year. I think over time it could have been decent.
@robmyers @mattl @amanicdroid I made that joke in 1997 and nobody understood it :'(
Mondex was piss-awful in actual use btw ;)
@chrisamccoy @vgr Both. The best was 15 Million Merits; hoping for more in that vein. Brooker is one of my heroes, and can be sharp as hell.
Yay! Netflix has ordered new Black Mirror. Charlie Brooker: "I just hope none of these new story ideas come true." http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/25/black-mirror-netflix
I'm really enjoying reading the @Urbit_ documentation, & I'd love to use the platform. It's good to see new ideas with a different approach.
"That's right, The Mascara Snake! Fully networked and distributed. Progressively functional, also." http://urbit.org/preview/~2015.9.25
What are some best practices for managing queued data pipelines in Node? Any libraries / frameworks you can point me to?
Interesting! Open source group chat from Dropbox: https://www.zulip.org/
Sadly, it's still a development framework. It'll save me time, but it's not an accessible heir to what Pioes did.
@fmanjoo Importantly: it happens in America *all the time*. This isn't a one-off.
... But it's his cover of Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go that's really eye-opening. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/pope-francis-to-release-pop-rock-album-wake-up-20150925
First it was desktop computing, then the web, and for a little while, apps. What's the best platform for hobbyist lone developers in 2015?
Car manufacturers need to open source their code. We urgently need legislation to force them to. http://www.economist.com/news/briefing/21667918-systematic-fraud-worlds-biggest-carmaker-threatens-e...
@CKdotbiz I'll go find it! I've been a fan of Mel and Sue since high school. They used to have an amazing lunchtime talk show.
The Great British Bake-Off ^H^H^H Baking Show on PBS is a happy discovery. Mel & Sue! It's like watching Ramsay with the twee turned to 11.
@kalanicraig @samplereality I think tiny tools loosely joined - rather than a monolithic app - are an important part of this idea.
Over on @Medium, how an online community helped Parkinson's sufferers find friendship and support: https://medium.com/@catherinearmsden/an-alert-well-hydrated-artist-in-no-acute-distress-episode-one-...
@ottonomy I agree, but I don't think that's how it's going to go down. Standards discussions tend to infinity.
@rwentechaney Possible. Mostly I was impressed too - I'm not religious but very happy to hear a strong message for social justice.
@rwentechaney "Fubdamental relationships are called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family"
Very nice speech, @pontifex, but surely you don't mean to imply that some kinds of families are more valid than others.
Fun that the Pope stood in front of Congress and reminded them of the Golden Rule. http://www.vox.com/2015/9/24/9391549/pope-remarks-full-text?utm_campaign=vox&utm_content=chorus&...
@sarahdessen I'm learning how much it helps! Kind of wish I'd started 20 years ago, but hey, better late than never ...?
@sarahdessen My new thing: walking seven miles a day. Which is definitely in the "arrange sock drawer" category of things.
