Incredibly emotional watching this because I’m painfully aware that “the good old days” are right now.
At 42 I have a perfectly imperfect life with a wonderful wife and two great kids. I don’t long for my younger years. I want to freeze time right now.

For those across the Black diaspora in America, especially Nigerians, I would greatly appreciate if you signed up for the stem cell registry for my little sister, Chizo. We're still looking for a donor! And please share with your friends and network to get the word out there!

As you can imagine, her medical bills have been racking up given that she's spent the majority of the year in the hospital. We've reopened her GoFundMe, which will help support her and her medical bills as she continues her fight against leukemia.

But, if you do not have the means to help donate, that's okay! There's also another thing we are asking for to help Chizo or any other folks who are suffering from this disease!

We're currently running a drive to get folks onto the DKMS registry to help find a donor for a bone marrow transplant. Our brother already donated, but he was a half-match, so we are hoping to find a full match for her this time around if possible. Ethnic background plays a huge role in finding donors, so if you are of African American/Nigerian descent, I would greatly appreciate you signing up for a free swab kit to see if you are a match for Chizo or anybody else on the registry. As you can imagine, this is a systemic issue for black folks, so the more people we can get to sign up, the better.

A nice five-year reminder from Google Photos. I guess some of the hands output from Midjourney now makes sense 🤣

Celebrating #HangulDay on Oct 9th with my #HangulProject 🇰🇷 Using #Tensorflow and #WebGL, crafted the visual effects and interactions. From 'rain' falling to 'snow' melting, the sound of waterfalls, and 'blazing' flames, each piece highlights Hangul's uniqueness and creativity.

More vandalism from @elonmusk. Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. Thats - so far - almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service.
For example, here’s a search of my media tweets from before 2014. teapawt.org/search?q=From%3Atomcoa…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Images before/around 2014 are still saved on Twitter/X's servers, however, the t.co links appear to be broken at the moment.
The famous Ellen DeGeneres selfie from the 2014 Oscars is currently missing from her tweet.

But the original file is still available on their servers.

Plug in your iPhone and poof it appears on your Mac. ✨
Feels pretty magical! Really like where this is going. Maybe should add a setting to turn this off if you just want to charge the phone or are a developer.
What way you would prefer to start mirroring your iPhone?

This is weird to say out loud, but I actually am kinda an expert in rate limiting, so I'm gonna explain some stuff.
About half of incidents in large-scale production systems involve having more requests than you can serve. There are two categories of this kind of incident:
