@codelust there would be technical hurdles with apps and file types. Ideal world it would be great, but I don’t think it can be done well
@codelust copy/paste to notes, it’s available everywhere for copy/pasting. Would be strange if copying on your PC altered phone clipboard
@stealingsand I think it’s sad natural selection selected us the superior species, when even a dog empathises more with us than our own
@stealingsand Frankly, that’s more sad than informative …
Lastly, The International 2 main event with winner’s bracket matches starts in 2 hours. #dota2ti2
@codelust to be fair, Notes on iOS and OSX does this job pretty well
My glee at running into Indians on the enemy team is almost like handing ice-cream to a child.
We are *really* bad at this game. #dota2
Is it really so much to ask for a dry Spa damnit? #f1
Every t-shirt in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”: http://t.co/QWdY3zQT
@ankurb Please don’t ruin that name.
I feel like a bear.
@SwaroopH Yep. Only had one mention instead of four this morning.
Oh. My. God.
Could it be?!
@tweetbot’s regex muting means NO MORE INDONESIAN SPAM!!!
ryan How Tweetbot and regex made my Twitter replies usable again (filed under: #wrongryan) https://t.co/oWD9OZrk /cc @tapbot_paul
Deleted Whatsapp today. Not sure where I’m going with this, but I feel Twitter is on the cards next year.
@codelust It’s hard to find a good source that doesn’t feed my confirmation bias, and in general brings a change to topics I usually read.
@codelust Agreed.
Golden rule of HN: When nerds start rippin’, stop yippin’.
Or.
Don’t respond to HN comments when the hate brigade arrives.
@codelust This one at the moment: http://t.co/ckieKZ7X
I’ve seen worse though.
@codelust HSI still exists? Haha.
@codelust Not me; looking at someone else’s futile attempts. It’s pretty painful to watch.
Write post. Post to HN. Spend rest of the day defending your position as angry nerds rip you apart.
I like how Sony’s logo-thingy top left says “make believe”: http://t.co/KyFeyJEH
dcurtis This is one of the most stupid things ever published:
http://t.co/7zKJ6k2A
@codelust Haha, yeah. On probably my thousandth watch.
Sirjee.
@ankurb But they aren’t … in that photo …
@codelust Feel the same way, even though I know I’ve done a lot less of it than others. Plus the fact that I’m younger than most.
@codelust People who scowl less usually do more.
Nobody says “tweet” when they mean to say something negative. We prefer to use the phrase “140 character messages”.
If you don’t make it personal, you won’t take it seriously enough.
@wesborland FOR IT TO RELEASE IN THE UK ITUNES STORE!
It’s Not Until You See Something Done Right, That You Know What Right Really Means. - http://t.co/nNdlwu2J
Who said age brings tolerance? I want to find him and kick his ass.
@dotmanish Now you have me thinking.
After 5 days without the Internet, I resurface.
These Are Not the Droids You’re Looking For - http://t.co/sGtiq1Gz
Alternate endings to The Dark Knight Rises http://t.co/yCajGQ8E
@ankurb Yep.
@ankurb Dat chick be painfully hot. That’s all I take away from it every time.
How useless are we without the Internet. I couldn’t even read a book while Airtel was down because I couldn’t buy one on my Kindle.
With age we learn to respect someone’s disappointment at their failure, than add our own to take it to a level we consider satisfactory.
Even as recent as 5 years ago, parents would have been severely angry at current situation. Today they aren’t.
I had to write a python script that checks if my DSL line is up and connected to the Internet or not. /sigh http://t.co/j3GndhvU
“All we are is bits in a database”
… sung to the tune of “Dust in the Wind”.
@ankurb It’s a pretty forum, nothing more nothing less.
See, I feel shitty for even insinuating that I *might* think something new isn’t all that great.
It’s so hard to convey a *lack* of feeling
So, old wine new bottle? http://t.co/tA6UzKvz
@codelust Hanlon’s razor.
I love my writing process.
Theory falls apart 3 paragraphs into explaining it with examples and analogies → Cmd+Q.
No harm, no foul.
@codelust But it’s all so easy, isn’t it.
Complaining about Hacker News now seems like picking on the autistic kid.
You can’t be a -phile on a budget.
Don’t ask a question where a statement will do.
Somehow “Thanks, nerds” has a very Nelson feel to it (http://t.co/4LhyqxhU) ~ http://t.co/xAJI8GQ2
Between our electricity board and Airtel, I’m surprised I get anything done.
@ankurb CLOSE ENOUGH.
@ankurb What is it supposed to be anyway?
@ankurb looks like the touching story of a man finally climbing out of his box.
It’s pretty cool that my phone battery lasts about 2 days with intermittent usage but recharges in 1.5 hours tops.
Mammals shaking themselves dry: http://t.co/Y1MS90Mu
@tapbots Quick headsup about this funny business on slow connections in Tweetbot for Mac: http://t.co/MFgf3C6f
In general, I think it’s hard to put numbers to perceptions. Objectifying the subjective.
What if everyone perceives the same thing though?

Quick and dirty implementation of http://t.co/2t5jzsCy ~ http://t.co/y4e50Y9S Fun to play arnd with; although theory isn’t completely sound
The mistake engineers make is to think success depends on if you can make something or not.
No. Success depends on getting ppl to use it.
@rungta I actually grew sick of Clocks in school bc everyone asked me to play it all the time (was a pianist). I like their softer stuff.
Read an article about how underparenting is better than overparenting, and then right after an article about an airline losing a 10yr old.
On Typing and Caring: http://t.co/w7rtzo7O
If I don’t sign something with my name, I don’t feel like it belongs to me or I have a responsibility towards it. Whether online or offline.
The reason saints are found on top of mountains is because nobody likes the heat. Not even the enlightened.
@remz bear hands, I know.
@rungta No no no! “Rush of Blood to the Head” all the way. “X&Y” comes a close second though. “Politik” and “Amsterdam” all the way.
Ignoring promotional SMSs aren’t the only daily todo now: http://t.co/m5ZBohTG
Get your #DotA2 spectator client before the International: http://t.co/iWeKjUsU
These days I’m not entirely sure what’s supposed to be an internal memo and what’s supposed to be an article on my blog.
“It’s a *safe* bet to predict failure.”
There’s going to be a “The Avengers 2”? #thehorror
People getting angry at Twitter have never had a relationship.
One of my things to think about after I read anything is if I’m (dis)agreeing with it due to confirmation bias or because it’s (not) true.
My own personal hell. http://t.co/UR6oYWpX
@codelust involuntary suppression is due to not being able to cope. What if one has the ability to cope, but doesn’t want to?
If given the option to selectively forget your past, at the price of an irreversibly altered personality, would you take it?
Everything we say is pointed. Either at yourself or towards someone else.
We want specific things from specific people. We try to hide behind generalities to not appear shallow or selfish.
Wait, this is ever better: http://t.co/BQ1E9ulb #dafuq2
Interesting to see people’s reaction to the Jesus-service (http://t.co/LJg8KMVH). You can almost taste the desperation in their words.

Better than you’d think. Actually, pretty damn funny. Also, Bane on drums.
@ap00rv Think of the most effective advertisement you’ve ever seen.
That tweet was the exact opposite of that.
Imagine if there was a real “incognito” mode; one that temporary made you disappear from the web like you never existed.
When did it become fashionable to be brazenly obnoxious about things?
@Naina I was pointing at the badly formed sentence, more than the meaning.
@Naina and that sentence doesn’t bother you?
I don’t want to ever reach the point where I mistakenly believe that anything I say makes a penny’s worth of difference.
@ankurb He’s the pop star we deserve.
No matter how hard you try, you will never be as cool as this guy. I’m not even being sarcastic. http://t.co/SDZtQmqf
Aditya Mukherjee types out a tweet and looks at it for 10 minutes figuring out how to not butcher the language but still say what he means.
Pretty sure I’ve been followed by every Indian Twitterer, who have then promptly unfollowed on realising I can’t move forward their agenda.
Currently stuck in head ~ http://t.co/CDrGNrgq
I can now add “AC technician” to my list of skills.
Two Weeks of DotA 2 - http://t.co/QEaEssp8
So much of what we say or write seems like we are justifying things to ourselves, that it’s okay to think those things.
Olark widget is the new Uservoice fly-in panel. Remember when that was everywhere?
Case in point: RIM and Blackberry. (https://t.co/fChpSWx3)
It’s funny that shitty products can be aimed specifically at India and do really well simply bc our potential users market is huge.

My Rakhi tika stayed on for about a minute this year. A new record.
That’s enough Internet for today. http://t.co/hc7IA8bl

@codelust It’s quite useless for single user use. My dad uses it for get togethers where his laptop turns into a fancy jukebox.
The number of times I run into */wp-content/uploads/* on the web is frankly a little sad.
