Parker HigginsIt's short notice, but Recurse Center is giving out $10,000 fellowships for women to participate in the next batch. This is a huge and great opportunity! RC has been extremely significant in my development as a programmer and it's a wonderful community. I'm happy to answer any questions if you have them! https://www.recurse.com/blog/145-fellowships-for-women-working-on-open-source-programming-projects-research-and-art
@bentest Ruby is also pretty well used in the CLI world, embedded systems with mRuby and other bits of tooling. Usually in the web world but not always. Welcome.
Spending my week next week hanging out in a chilly Montréal with @Glossier peeps. Anyone in town and want to hang? #ruby #web #programming #meetup

Sam the Octopus- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m
90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them
Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m
This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created
Excited that OmniFocus 3 for #Mac is coming out officially on the 24th. Been playing with the beta and it’s a formidable #productivity upgrade
Just finishing up this whole Joe Rogan and Elon Musk ‘experience’. It’s like a comedian and normal SF socialite trying to figure out how to get to Pluto using mechanical watches. Oh! While falling down stairs backwards.
