@fixieai Nice! I'm considering flying up from San Francisco. Will you be coming here next? Or would it be possible to join remotely?

[Rob Middleton @Rob__ot]

@jamison_dance I only implicitly use it via redux. Otherwise I think it's better to pass props down in most cases. The docs have a good section about using it sparingly: https://t.co/1eQCy5qwqA

@CHPAlerts @DalyCityPD Please use the appropriate severity of the alerts. This was marked as "extreme" severity

@AspyrMedia Was this ever released for Linux? I've been struggling trying to get the HD texture pack to install.

@sawyerh You should check out The Witness

r/place sets a new precedent for online events. This was something special and it's success will inspire more events that bring the internet together.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

Guys r/place is so incredible it makes me want to cry. it's a visual representation of the collective memes of reddit-esque humanity; symbols abound, the larger the symbol the greater a mass of humans who've managed to coordinate behind it.

@burningman Dang, was here right at noon and never even got through the queue 😔

[The Streamer Awards @StreamerAwards]

There’s no real way to describe a Jerma stream, in the sense that you never know what's in store when he goes live. From games, science experiments, dollhouse simulations and even finding his replacement, @jerma985 rightfully deserves #TheStreamerAwards League of their Own Award!

@reactjs Good stuff but according to caniuse, only 92% of browser usage has queueMicrotask, which isn't enough for us. Will there be a fallback/polyfill?

@droneblog Correction on this article - https://t.co/Iu5Psjs15P

"Golden Gate Park, the National Park land surrounding the base of the Golden Gate Bridge"
GGP is actually not the park touching GG Bridge, it's a separate stretch inland (I made the same mistake before moving here)

at some point did someone just remove a persons liver, killing them, and they were like "without it you die so that's the liver"?

[Vlad Magdalin @callmevlad]

No-code has been a big trend, and it might seem like it's a maturing market/landscape, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

We're maybe at ~5% of the innovation we'll see in this space over the next few decades. It's where the internet was in ~1999. Just getting started!

Infographic: The Evolution of Rummy and Variants
https://t.co/4tA6YvUwk8

Isn't it interesting how different variations of card games have similar game mechanics? This infographic explores different variants of Rummy and how they came to be. Feel free to repost and share.

Dead zones are essential, I use 3px for mouse and 10px for touch.

[Steve Ruiz @steveruizok]

I wrote a blog post about how "dead zones" can improve dragging UX.💀 https://t.co/WXaQLjdFIA

[Rob Middleton @Rob__ot]

@_chenglou @steveruizok Better yet, just start the dragging at the point it passes the dead zone, instead of using the mouse-down point

[Rob Middleton @Rob__ot]

@Hicksyfern @steveruizok My old laptop touchpad did this and it was the most annoying thing ever, so it can definitely go wrong. Might still be a good idea though.

@CodingCatDev Thanks for chatting, please let me know if a recording of this is available!

[Rob Middleton @Rob__ot]

@CodingCatDev When designing user-facing no-code systems, how do you decide between low-level tools that are are very flexible and high-level that are solve specific problems?
