@manton cool URIs dont change! www.w3.org/Provider/...

@anniegreens It’s drier here in Austin which helps quite a bit - but still pretty hot in direct sunlight.

@GabrielCornish It’s been a complete win. I have gotten in the habit of taking a ~10 minute break at work each day to play and it’s a perfect fit for that level of commitment.

@maique Oops! Ah, now the “secret” comment makes way more sense. 😂

I was excited when they finally added olive 🫒 in 2020 because it is the name of one of the computers I use at work.

@maique The onion emoji was added in Emoji 12.0 in 2019. 🧅

I find it interesting how so many more objects in our everyday lives do not have emojis yet!

@cote Interesting.

I have been to Edward Tufte’s presentations twice, and he always starts out by handing out printouts with a mix of text and diagrams. The idea is that you give people a tangible physical item that spells out your argument in plain English, with supporting figures, in high resolution. It made an impression on me for sure.

Stickies can be part of the journey, but nothing beats actually writing out your argument, once its made.

@Alligator It’s worth it!

@dominikhoecht It’s super pocketable. I wasn’t planning on it, but now it’s part of my everyday carry.

@llbbl 👋 - just saw this reply several months later…

I am enjoying Fly pretty well. I have to admit I mainly just set up the project once, got it deploying via GitHub Actions, and have not thought about it much since then.

I have made a few updates to gems (mostly via Dependabot) and the changes are deployed quickly and easily, so I’m pretty positive on the whole experience. My app doesn’t even have a database, so I can’t speak to the Fly PostgreSQL experience.

@aaronpk Do you use VNC / Screen Sharing.app? You could try turning off screen sharing in the Sharing preference pane.

@manton She graduated in my class at Olin College. She has been nothing short of incredible through this entire situation.

@jean No, but I was pretty young and accustomed to first-person video games back then. The theater experience was incredibly immersive, and I felt lost the whole time. I didn’t have good guideposts for knowing how far along the plot was. Knowing what was coming the second time made the movie feel a lot shorter.

@jean The first trailer for Cloverfield (the one without a title) hit me really hard, especially with its depiction of young professionals just out of college taking cell phone photos of the Statue of Liberty head on the street. I simply had to go see it in the theater, and I loved it. Unfortunately, when I went to watch it a second time, it lost a bit of its appeal. That said, it's one of the most memorable movies I've ever seen. Also, 10 Cloverfield Lane is an incredible quasi-sequel. The Cloverfield Paradox, not so much.

@t Great idea!

I am always thinking back to "Cool URI's don't change" and the discussion around removing references to technologies used to serve up content.

In my opinion, it would be better to use /git/ or /code/ or something similar instead of GitHub, although I can see arguments either way.

@Nataliekayh Great news!

@toddgrotenhuis Another vote for iMovie. It starts pretty simple, and as you improve your skills are pretty transferable to more advanced software options later.

@Nataliekayh Congratulations!

@patrickrhone Agreed! Thanks for sharing.

@danielpunkass Congrats!

@Nataliekayh 😍

@help My Photos page appears to be blank. Any ideas what might be happening?

@manton I’ve been using Feedbin to subscribe to a handful of individual Twitter accounts in a similar way, now that I’ve trained myself to open NetNewsWire instead.

@Nataliekayh It’s not too crowded! Lots of room to social distance, even with a lot of people here. Reservations only, we were lucky to find a last minute spot open up.

@macgenie I was playing the Daily yesterday and made a mistake along the way. I hit “Recover Puzzle” and it erased back too far and even erased some of the pre-filled squares! I was worried about losing my streak until my wife showed me I could just fill in any numbers I wanted!
