@SmoothieKing there's a bug in the online ordering on the website. When adding a kids "Lil Angel" to the cart, it tells you to choose an option for "Served in a Foam Cup" but there is no option for the cup type

@DisneyPlus can we get a "restart from beginning" button on the development roadmap 🙏? (Screenshot from the web interface at https://t.co/8l4RNQuKp6)

@someotterthing Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.

Before AJAX, I created a hack to get similar behavior: a hidden iframe I used to get data back from the server without a page reload. I will forever maintain that my name was better than "AJAX". It was "BRIJ", the Bi-directional Relay Interface for Javascript.

Options for finding the best stuff on @netflix :
1. Watch and rate until the recommendations engine learns your preferences and slowly builds a profile
-OR-
2. Use this simple Google search (@flanaganfilm)

People talking about Ghostbusters Afterlife: "hard to believe that society would write off the events of the original movie as an elaborate hoax"

Meanwhile there's an active global pandemic and half the country is like "lol fake news, I'm still going to that spitting contest"

Me telling my six year old who wouldn't go to bed "you can't just stay up for the sake of staying up"

@laurenpittenger This is almost always the case, but every now and again the stars align and my past self (who's usually very unreliable) does come through with comments. Like I once left myself one that said "this looks backwards but it's not. Seriously, read it again"

@SamHarrisOrg @SamHarrisOrg please don't throw in with @BretWeinstein on this. This is obviously for the visually impaired; it's no different from adding descriptive "alternative" tags to images on the web. Adding those alt tags has been standard practice for years.

"The Prestige" is a great analogy for antivaxxers looking for a covid conspiracy. Angier travels across the world and sacrifices everything to uncover a secret that never really existed in the first place.

#php devs, for the love of all that is holy, check that your objects loaded before trying to call methods on them.

$obj = \SomeService::Load($id);
$obj->someMethod();

If Load() failed, this is a 500. Check that $obj is (at least) non-null before try to call someMethod()

No matter what website I'm on, I'm confident that I don't want to "allow notifications". Asking to allow notifications is the new pop-up ad.

@thebrianfallon I feel the same way about pretty much everything they put out. Including the first EP that sounds way different but is great in its own right.

@haveboard Lost my mom very suddenly about 3 years ago. I wouldn't wish it on anyone; very sorry to hear this.

@Crell I recently switched back to using Slack in browser. Chrome seems to do a better job with memory management than the standalone app, so my aging laptop doesn't start struggling every time i switch channels

@SamHarrisOrg Your intro to the "Lessons from Death" episode was also influential in shaping my perspective on this topic: https://t.co/Lu8JSF5Kwj

@marsdj @merlinofchaos I'm almost always against visual query builders but Views is the only notable exception. It's extraordinarily powerful and was one of the first parts of Drupal that looked like real object oriented software. @merlinofchaos

@SBinLondon Uhhh is that the wrong way? Asking for a friend...
