I wish US english had a term as good as ‘twig’ for when someone doesn’t get something.

I'm the same - work persona is curious, engaged, loves to talk to new people. Off work sometimes this bleeds over, but generally I retreat to my more comfortable introverted self.

It's a valuable skill, so I do sometimes practice trying to adopt the work persona at home, but it really doesn't come naturally.

Neither did Homer if it makes you feel better.

My friend wrote Micropython so I’ve passed this along to him! Very cool.

I saw some people wondering if there will be more shows - my kids use the iView app and a VPN to watch Bluey (which has been handy to get access early to new episodes!) and they've been advertising they'll be doing a long-form 28 minute episode this year.

Not an unfair point, although it is alarming at work how many bugs end up being reported directly from customers.

>At DoorDash, we take app startup speed extremely seriously. We are obsessed with optimizing our customers' experience and making continuous improvements.

I wonder if they actually believe this? They make it almost impossible to report bugs in the app, and when I have customer support's reaction has been "there's not really anything I can do about this."

My 4 year old Mac Mini had been showing some flakiness and finally I got an error about "hash mismatch detected on volume" - ran memtest and sure enough the RAM had gone bad. I rely on this machine for all my media, backups, etc, goodness knows what data I may have lost while the RAM was bad. It's a moderately common problem, found plenty of people with the same issue.
