💡 Here’s one trick that made me a much better programmer: Review your own code the same way as you review other people’s code. Sounds simple but this was actually super hard: I used to think that my code already meets my review standards... But it did not.

me: can i get the tea, sis? barista: black? me: no barista: chai? me: no barista: people will buy a reusable straw and then brag about saving the planet but will go home and eat fish even though .03% of plastic in the ocean is from straws and 46% is from fishing? me: nice

All truth is not to be told at all times… Sometimes it hurts… a lot…

PhantomJS was so slow that it made programming near-unbearable. Now it's gone, so we have chromedriver instead and it's even slower. How is everyone not constantly screaming about this? Maybe I'm the only one dumb enough to still be writing tests.

Sorry sorry . sorry.

We've developed a method of making floating point much more efficient, to improve both the training and deployment of deep learning models in hardware. See how it works: code.fb.com/ai-research/fl…

An NPM package with 2,000,000 weekly downloads had malicious code injected into it. No one knows what the malicious code does yet. github.com/dominictarr/ev…

I’m taking a quick break from filming to tell you the best way to watch Mission: Impossible Fallout (or any movie you love) at home.

I've muted nearly every political word you could imagine and most violent words that could be headlined and it's totally changed Twitter for me, I still read the news, but I don't get it in the form of strangers arguing. My timeline is interesting people saying interesting things

all linear algebra textbooks are like - 1 is a number 😀 - x can stand in for many numbers 🤯 - a vector is just an ordered list of numbers 😜 - the set of all polynomials of degree m with real or complex coefficients is a vector subspace of P(F), as you should verify 😇

Mazesoba was one of our favorite discoveries from our honeymoon in Tokyo. Excited to see that it’s starting to come to New York.

Did you know? -Global rates of extreme poverty are falling for any poverty line we choose -Global income inequality is falling -World median income almost doubled from 2003 to 2013 -Income inequality within countries is constant on average (up in some countries, down in others)

COVID deaths & hospitalizations always lag cases. The lag has been demonstrated, is often 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 than a month, and its timing can be predicted accurately (I have done it.) The #casedemic folks are just, well, wrong. A thread explaining the lag with real-world examples. 1/n

Proud to be on the team building these tools as part of Log4j incident response at Stripe. Glad we could open-source the tools, and hope the they’re useful to others!
