@learnTFP how much experience must one have to become a CFI? Can someone start from scratch (i.e. no pilot's license) with the goal of starting a career as a CFI within a few years? Huge fan of the podcast, thanks! ❤️🛫

@k4v Hey, BLT maintainer here. Thanks for the feedback. I agree in the past we could have done better at this, and we're trying to do better. BLT 12 has half as many dependencies, and has been split into plugins so you only have to install the pieces you need.

@PhenaProxima I've stared long into the abyss that is Composer's guts, and felt it staring back at me. It wasn't a pleasant feeling. It mostly works, but how I will probably never be able to say.

Okay I figured it out, at least partly. mixin-deep 1.3.2 exists as a release on npm but not Github. Everything's working now. That still doesn't explain why running `npm install base` in a clean directory still picked up 1.3.1 and threw warnings...

[Dane Powell @danepowell]

@jonschlinkert hey not trying to create spam for you, I don't see any indication that mixin-deep v1 was patched. When I run `npm install base` in a clean dir I still get 15 security vulns. If that's true, isn't this issue still valid? https://t.co/uoUpWNdexM

@AbroadInJapan When I booked my trip to Tokyo and Kyoto, I wasn't expecting to be on crutches. Any tips for how to have fun and get around with minimal walking? Or how not to stand out as a 6'3" (190cm) white guy on crutches? :) Love your show!

Hey @STS9 love your music! Sadly a lot of your albums on Google Play Music are corrupted and can't be played (like When the Dust Settles). Any idea when that will be fixed?

If you've ever felt uncomfortable giving an #agile sprint demo or just want to get better, check out my new blog post over on @AcquiaDev: https://t.co/XFJHF3qqDA

@sfmta_muni can something be done to improve traffic safety at intersections in the Sunset? Cars at 2-way stops often pull out and nearly cause collisions, either because they can't see oncoming traffic due to parked cars or they think it's a 4-way stop.

Last weekend I presented a session on how to spin up new Drupal projects in seconds using Acquia BLT, Lightning, and DrupalVM. Check out the recording and slides! https://t.co/upiwtYcX3c #PNWDS #DrupalSummit

My session on spinning up new Drupal sites using BLT was accepted to Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit. Come see me present in February! https://t.co/AbhKte9pG7

@thomtoogood @acquia @AcquiaDev @beetboxvm Absolutely Beetbox is faster, and that's why BLT 9.1.x supports it out of the box. Unfortunately 9.1.x isn't quite ready for production yet, and for this tutorial we wanted to stick with what was available out of the box in BLT 8.9.x.

Interested in decoupled Drupal applications but not sure where to start? Check out this first post in my series on Decoupled Drupal! It's also a great primer on Lightning, BLT, and DrupalVM. https://t.co/u4VFuwszi3

I recently discovered and disclosed a security vulnerability to TravisCI. Sometimes it's crazy what can unravel when you pull a thread! https://t.co/SCRam6SQpb

@SIRIUSXM @SFTOYOTA are you sharing customer information? After a recent service visit, I got a letter marked "Important Information About your Recent Vehicle Service Visit" with a SiriusXM sales pitch inside. That's super sketchy, misleading, and uncool.

@Sawbones I'd love to hear a show on historical treatments that actually worked. What did pre-modern medicine get right? Did they understand why treatments worked? What were some of the most curable diseases? Inquiring minds want to know!

[Dane Powell @danepowell]

@MiamiNights1984 It seems like most of your albums were recently removed from Google Play Music, what's the story? I hope this was just a glitch??

[Dane Powell @danepowell]

@XFINITY are you gaslighting me? You have an outage affecting the entire US and your status page says "No issues detected"...

@ubuntu great job on 17.10, #ArtfulAardvark is a hell of an upgrade!

The Equifax breach is actually good for Equifax... if 1% of victims use credit monitoring after 1 year, that's ~$300m annual revenue. Sick.
