You know you've been in tech too long when seeing the 1st of Jan everywhere unironically makes you uncomfortable

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@allenholub The number of replies justifying the existence of a broken system that doesn't work optimally for anyone is concerning and a sign of just how far we have to go in software delivery and engineering culture.

If AWS run everything on their own infrastructure, is AWS technically on-prem?

@vline_geelong For those keeping an eye out. The 7.40 from Waurn Ponds just departed. Expected to make the full journey.

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@vline_geelong Are trains restored from Waurn Ponds?

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@vline_geelong They haven't communicated anything, but worth mentioning that vline aren't running any trains or coaches from Waurn Ponds. They are saying to find your own way to Lara station.

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@vline_geelong The 640 from waurn ponds just departed on time for those keeping an eye on twitter 🙏

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@vline_geelong An update to the times in the vline app would be great (after the line works) but also to reflect the current outage. According to the app, trains are running but there are no supporting updates 🤔

@FitbitSupport my Fitbit sense measures a heart even when I'm not wearing it. Any suggestions? Other forum posts suggest only a replacement has fixed the issue.

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@vline_geelong Every time there is a delay in the service, this happens. Can you please, please, pleeeaaasseee, just announce this before departure so I can grab an uber instead.

@SlackHQ it would make a lot more sense if a channel created from a DM group was assigned to the person who creates the channel. Not the person who started the DM group 🤔 A lot of users that can't rename their channels.

@VictorianCHO booked appointment for AZ at 11.20am

Huge number of people getting vaccinated but that can definitely be improved. Got asked the same questionnaire 3 times. Saw a few people lose patience and walk off while in line.

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@terzi_federico Originally there were concerns about how this might impact performance for those that had thousands of expansions configured. Did you manage to figure out a way around that?

I love the bracketed function-like syntax. That would almost be a great feature in and of itself 🙂

The pandemic is actually just a scheme hatched by the tech industry to finally force everyone to start interacting with QR codes

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

Am I the only dev who is obscenely grateful that "username" and "password" (and the shortened equivalents), have the same number of characters?

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@DanielAndrewsMP please, mate. Can we please open gyms sooner. I don't know how to tell you how important the gym is to me. Members are by default health conscious and responsible people. I'd rather risk it there than at the supermarket 😭

Far out. Please!

I mean, I could do it and package myself but the licensing is so very unclear that I dare not to, and it's really laborious to install NVDA each I pull down the image.

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

@windowsdev Just a heads up, the [email protected] email address you provide for support on the legacy IE and Edge browser doesn't work.

My ask was, can you guys provide an image with NVDA pre-installed for testing with your legacy browser's?

[Tom Lingham @tomldev]

Pretty sure I just figured out why everyone thinks the Monopoly guy wore a monocle when he in fact, never did.
