@DoorDash in the last month or so your iOS app has been really buggy. I add things to my cart only to have them disappear. They then reappear a few hours (or days) later as a new cart. This seems to happen mostly for group orders. Please fix.

@TipsyPianoBar @gregbrayman @JoJoFromJerz And like a good idiot, you missed the point entirely. Well done!

@TC_Johnson I have this image now of a armoured car delivering over 8 tonnes of sterling silver to their house every month.

@IanColdwater At @backblaze we're hiring Sr. SREs. Not many but a few. Hit me up if you want me to refer you.

@baileymeyers I was in my late 20's when someone finally corrected my pronunciation of "deus ex machina". I had been pronouncing the third word "machine-eh" rather than "mach-ee-nah"

@hackaday The simplest thing that was a PITA was changing the size of the cursor in X. I have low vision and need a bigger one. Maybe it's easier now but 12 years ago it borked my gui and took a week to fix.

⚠️THERMONUCLEAR BAD—Hospitals completely overwhelmed in China ever since restrictions dropped. Epidemiologist estimate >60% of 🇨🇳 & 10% of Earth’s population likely infected over next 90 days. Deaths likely in the millions—plural. This is just the start—🧵

@SnazzyQ They can be a little hard to find, but the flipper zero is a nifty gadget. It's a general purpose radio and gpio testing tool though it's often presented as a hacking/pen-testing tool. https;//flipperzero.one/

My frustration tolerance is shot today. I rarely swear, but this morning I'm dropping the F-bomb so often that the cat thinks it's his new name. Gotta get this out of my system before the 9 year old gets home from school.

What if this had been in the Large Magellanic Cloud? Ten thousand times closer and therefore 100 million times brighter. Might have caused a mass extinction.

This likely means that the pool of potential buyers is saturated with ads. They're getting the same ads so frequently that they end up clicking on the ads again.

[Mitch Patenaude @pneumaticdeath]

Interesting that I had only 18 visits to my shop, but 30 of them (167%) were from ads that I paid for.

[Mitch Patenaude @pneumaticdeath]

I'm pretty sure the explanation is that the number 18 represents the unique visits and the count of ads includes duplicate visits. Still it's a sign that about 60% of the ad responses were from people that had already visited my shop from another ad.
