When the Reply Guys are speaking English but with all the wrong words and in the wrong order.
I really really really avoid saying “maybe google me before replying” but I think it. It’s hubris. Something to watch for in one’s self.
OMG
I’ve turned them around. Patience and clarity in community interactions my friends. Truly.

Is this #HBOMax #WW84 film grain a compression artifact or was this intentional? The film is glorious but the grain is overwhelmingly distracting.
I’ve been looking closely at this and here’s what I thing. #ww84 added a film grain to get that 80s look, but expected the film to be on a big screen at a FAR FAR higher bitate. Whatever codec that #HBOMax is using is emphasizing the grain to the point of distraction.
Moving off the Xbox #hbomax app to a chromecast ultra to see if 4k helps #ww84’s film grain

After a week of virtual high school here’s the virdict - online document management is a hot mess. It’s a mishmash and URLs, PDFs, google docs, links to docs, attachments, and proprietary comment systems. Underpowered Chromebooks struggling to zoom, PDFs with no way to markup.
Watching my kids get a crash course in online document management. We are stuck at 80% as an industry and we have no standards other than nasty looking URLs, OAuth, and the clipboard. The kids are the integration point and everyone is struggling.
The teachers are just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “email me a photo of your PDF.” This is an area that needs open standards, not better google docs or O365 systems. Document templates -> document instances -> links or copies.

First, welcome to your new life! Ask questions! Find a work buddy with whom you feel comfortable asking any tech question. Never let anyone make you feel bad asking a question - there are no dumb questions. Ask a lot. Draw diagrams. Read code. Reassert your assumptions. Breathe.
Build a network of positivity and mute or block negativity (online and off). Learn git and learn to type fast - it narrows the distance between your brain and getting the code out of your brain. Save EVERYTHING. Collect links, code, samples, beyond stackoveflow.
Take care of yourself. This job can destroy your hands, back, shoulders. Walk, talk, stand, squat, whatever. Your hands and back and brain are your money. Treat them right now and they’ll last you 30-50 years.

The internal Microsoft Standards of Business Conduct SEASON 3: INFINITY NELSON has launched today! It's happening! #SBCU (follow this thread backwards) #nospoilers
ATTENTION NEW MICROSOFT EMPLOYEES - if you are just now starting the *Standards of Business Conduct - Season 3: Infinity Nelson* and haven’t watched Seasons 1 and 2, stop! Watch them here first aka.ms/sbcseries (internal URL)
If you’re not an employee and you think it’s bonkers that we actually host viewing parties for our required ethics training, you can at least watch the trailers. It’s like game of thrones for nerds microsoft.com/en-us/videopla… and microsoft.com/en-us/videopla… #SBCU

I don’t speak in hyperbole very often, and I want to make sure that you all understand what a big deal this is for the diabetes DIY community. Everything that we’ve worked for for the last 20 years, it all changes now. #WeAreNotWaiting
Every diabetic engineer every, the day after they were diagnosed, tries to solve their (or their loved one's) diabetes with open software and open hardware. Every one. I did it in the early 90s. Someone diagnosed today will do this tomorrow. Every time.
I tried to send my blood sugar to the cloud from a PalmPilot. Every #diabetes person ever does this. Has done this. Then @NightscoutProj happened and #WeAreNotWaiting happened and we shared code and now we sit on the shoulders of people who GAVE THEIR IDEAS TO USE FOR FREE
