@marketplunger1 Haven’t seen them mentioned so going to throw in
“Sleeping Giants” and the rest of the Themis Files trilogy.
“Artemis” by Andy Weir is great if you love the Martian.
“Ready player one” is a good bit of fun if you want something easy after reading Asimov and other suggestions

@flybayer @Flightcontrolhq Love FC, rave about it all the time but have never managed to convince anybody else to use it. No free tier for side projects and not advanced enough for commercial (No SSO/2FA/Role based access) are the usual feedback points.

@traitorbaby @Tyler_The_Wise @ytnewtruof @emyxter That is not at all why it’s like that. 9-5 is a relic from factories during the Industrial Revolution. 9-5, 5-1, 1-9 are the 3 equally split shifts the factories would run so they never shut down. Men worked, women stayed at home. Most kids didn’t go to school.

@mxstbr @retool - can’t believe how easy it is to build admin, ops tools and reporting compared to what I have done before. Absolutely revolutionary

@dristract @thdxr @fredine Or even that if you spend time and effort convincing your company to use something, get budget approved and time put aside to build and 6 months later you tell your boss you need 2 more weeks to migrate away from it to whatever is new because of lack of support/updates/features

@fleckensteyn @Railway We used to get weekly half day downtime due to Render, so moved to @Flightcontrolhq and never had downtime caused by them, only the occasional underlying aws downtime very rarely.

@xKingRei @WorldWideWob He got fined for the exact same thing last year. I think it was £10k - which is like 0.0002% of his salary 😂

@TheWorstFounder @johnrush @Flightcontrolhq 😉

I mean, c'mon @GetInsomnia you have to be joking with this contrast?

[Martyn Rushton @Swapnull]

@Bert0977 @thepixelepoch @Tuggernut4 @IdleSloth84_ It’s the exact same game with new characters. I loved the first but lost interest in the 2nd quite quickly.

@So_Severe @PezRadar They already said this is to avoid pay to win. Ashes give a decent boost and you could just buy your way through the battlepass. They should really be tied to chapter rewards or at least unlock without needing to remember the levels you can go get them at.

@AngryGromp @QuickResumePod @Alabasterz @icyveins @AlAlon1483146 100% this. I have a lvl 100 necro, bone spear has to be broken to make necro even playable. survivability, lack of unstoppable and lack of movement makes it painful to play at the best of times.
If they nerf BS without buffing movement and unstoppable then necro won’t be viable

[Martyn Rushton @Swapnull]

@Nobodybetterpat @RodFergusson Only if you have minions. If you sacrifice then no - bone spear is generally glass cannon, kill everything before it gets a chance to hit you. Better of looking for chest with damage reduction so you can survive the occasional fallen lunatic.

@Loftio @RapidOwl But you should watch all of them because they are awesome! I totally skipped it until last week and then binged it in a day!!

@flybayer Codenames (using https://t.co/JrYZBeEbZk) and Telephone (using https://t.co/0ZsxvZyTIb) are great for small teams. An online jigsaw (https://t.co/Zv4VzgFajU) is a great way to do something together while also promoting a chance to chat.

@NBALPSupport the Sixers vs Kings recording from last night just shows 90 minutes of “game has ended” on the full replay. Please fix this!

[Martyn Rushton @Swapnull]

@NBALPSupport what is the point in having a hide scores feature if you are still going to show me the game went to OT?! Definition of doing the absolute minimum.

[Martyn Rushton @Swapnull]

@galuszkak @beeradmoore @kwuchu Automate it so it can run during the middle of the nigh and rollback if it fails. practice running large migrations on a clone of prod to catch almost all errors. Also - one off downtimes for big migrations is fine, weekly releases causing massive downtime is not.
