Happy Halloween. Spookiest house on the block 3 years running!

Do I know anyone at YouTube? They just took down my boring software training video. The appeal response was: “We reviewed your content carefully, and have confirmed that it violates our harassment, threats and cyberbullying policy.” Is there a way to get a real person involved?

I’m super excited about this new iPhone camera! This is shooting into the sun half the time, all while immediately grabbing focus on moving people.

You know what I’m not in love with? Twitter’s video compression.
I get lost every time I try to interact with desktop Safari tabs, and I finally figured out why. Sometimes the active tab is lighter than the other tabs and sometimes it's darker. This mess is what clicking between two tabs looks like. The entire UI changes.

Has anyone used Swift Playgrounds? It’s so buggy that I can’t trust my 9-year-old to use it alone. Here’s identical code producing different results. At first the guy wouldn’t go down stairs. She was confused how to solve the puzzle, and it didn’t make sense to me either. 1/3

So I copied the code, reset the page, and pasted it back in. He walked down the stairs just fine. How is a kid supposed to work around that? It’s like a compiler error. 2/3

Here’s another example. The second to last command is turnRight(). Instead of turning, he goes forward and sinks waist-deep into stairs. Then he teleports to another square facing the wrong direction. That kind of stuff can really discourage someone learning basic concepts. 3/3
I’m totally a real farmer now.

There are four kinds of "free" in free software: Free as in beer Free as in speech Free as in mattress Free as in puppy (for @golan)

How about this St. Patrick's day fake beard and mask combo? I can’t imagine how small its customer demographic is, and even if you’re in the “safe party” camp, you’re not going to get a ton of reuse out of it. amazon.com/dp/B08SHSVZR1/

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your 2FA Auth codes work for a minute or two after the timer runs out, so you don't need to beat the clock

Anyone in any doubt about who the coolest Beatle was, I heard this story about George Harrison from Phil Collins years ago, and was reminded of it on a podcast recently. It’s brilliant. Enjoy.

I have a friend. We used to be on the college #swim team together. He’s now the chef + owner of LeFond Restaurant in #Brooklyn. It’s an awesome #neighborhood spot. He needs help to keep his employees and place afloat. ❤️ If you can help, here’s how: gofund.me/383fa972
