@dreamwebspace Just like the camera adds 10 lbs, the asterisk adds 3 users.

@dreamwebspace that asterisk is doing a lot of work.

The best part about following @fool is you sound like a campy villain when replying to him. Example:

@fool your amateur toots have no effect on me. How dare you test my intelligence?

Coding is wild. It took me four days to build one half of a feature, and then ~24 minutes build the other half.

I'm not sure if these change.org petitions actually work, but I'm very into this one:

Most permutation algorithms rely on the previous permutation to generate the next one. This makes it inefficient to get a specific permutation, like the 100,000th if you don't have the 99,999th.

So I wrote an #algorithm to do it.

Not being trained in computer science, I am unreasonably proud of this.

@timecowboy I'm 100% with you, but I think that's actually the app Mast made by @JPEG

@dreamwebspace I wonder how many combined hertz are in the bin. I assume those are old processors that in the MHz range but there are also a lot of them so... 10GHz? More? Less?

@corbin OMG same with going to the movies! You avoid all the trailers and info and then there's a "First look" right before the movie starts with a bunch of clips. So frustrating!

@linuxnt You're most welcome! FWIW, I pronounced it wrong for a long time. I believe it's pronounced to rhyme with "haste" or "waste". Hope that's helpful! Happy New Year!

@linuxnt It's a word (caste) meaning social class. See the second definition here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/caste

@maruki That means they look long, luscious, and delicious so good job
