- What happens when you launch Google Chrome for the first time on a Windows 10 machine? When I launched Google Chrome for the first time (and let it sit for a minute), 32 requests were made, and 7.26 MB of data downloaded.
- 05 December, 1995: AP writes on Microsoft, Netscape, Java, and the forthcoming "JavaScript".
- By 35.000000000000004, you should understand floating point precision.
- People are freaking out about the recent news that Twitter devs can see your DMs. Twitter isn't open-source. Twitter cannot be publicly audited. Do not trust their blackbox with your data. Assume everything is being watched. Assume nothing is private―not even your DMs.
- Replying to @AdamFostermusic @elonmusk and @nichegamer*Supposed* is the key word here. @elonmusk inherited the system, and purged much of the previous team. We later learned just how integrated censorship-controls were in the platform, which complicates matters even more. It will take a new team some time to familiarize and improve.
- Replying to @caitiedelaneyTwitter remains free. How you folks continue to miss this is beyond me. The $8 is for premium features; not access to the platform itself.
- What happens when you launch a fresh install of Firefox? I was curious, so I did so with version 68.0.2, and monitored my network activity. Here's what I learned…

- A few nights ago I purchased some of the oldest JavaScript books I could find. This one is from March of 1996, less than a year after "Mocha" was written, and only a few months after the name "JavaScript" was chosen. I'm going to read it and share fun bits in this thread.
- Tesla's new battery quick-change stations are incredible to watch 😂
00:00 - Replying to @ianmilesShe purposefully blocked the street with her car? That's pretty entitled. His response was over the top, but she's not without blame either.
