Some of the most fun I’ve ever had working on a project twitter.com/wearestudioiq/…

@AlexDaugherty1 It’s hard to tell from the TV angle but I wonder if it’s just Lauzon prioritising being defensively responsible? If he makes the early pass while he’s still deep in the zone a block could spring an odd man rush for the Blues, and he knows he’s leaving his D partner alone.

I see this decision making with puck carriers wheeling the zone at least 2-3 times a period. A guy crashing the net/someone in the slot & the puck goes back high in the zone to the less dangerous shot option. Rebounds are 2/3 more likely to be goals than point shots.

An example of poor decisions NSH is making in the attacking end. As Lauzon carries behind with under 5 secs left, he has two chances to backhand a pass to the slot. Instead he pulls up high, allowing STL to defend a shot + time to tick off. I just don't understand this. Why?

@maccas do you guys *ever* have the Happy Meal books? My kid asks for it every time and it literally always gets substituted for a toy, and when we go back to swap it over they just look at us confused, as though nobody ever picks the book.

@BillBailey what a show tonight! You’re a bonafide genius. Your apathy bit reminded me of T.I.S.M. youtube.com/watch?v=xK4-ma…

Massive thanks to these absolute champions from @NSWSESISR who came and got our roof covered back up after the heavy rains in Wollongong.

Or better still: report the printer status to the staff in real-time so they can fix the kiosks before users even experience the issue.

Has anyone ever *not* gotten this error when ordering at a ⁦@maccas⁩ kiosk? I’ve learnt to have my phone out to take a picture of my receipt number before even submitting my order now. What a simple usability improvement it would be to show the number in the error message!

Or even better: check the status of the printer proactively and change behaviour dynamically.

@Kogan @acmadotgov You know this leaves a bad taste in the mouth of every customer who encounters it, right? Do you not like money or something?

Dear @Kogan, Your relentless spam makes me sincerely regret buying from you. 18 unsolicited emails in 10 days was bad enough but this bullshit on your unsubscribe page is unacceptable and you *know* it. Reported to @acmadotgov.

On the plus side, it's super satisfying deleting apps when they decide you're their prey, instead of their customer.

Ugh, @UberEats has by far the most obnoxious push notifications of any app I've ever used. If users need to disable five separate on-by-default settings in your app to turn off your marketing bullshit, your UX team needs to seriously consider walking out.

Can anyone recommend an alternative to @TripIt? I don't travel much and being forced to enter my DOB is reason enough to stop using it going forward. Just need something with an iPhone app. Bonus points if I can migrate my TripIt data!

Pairs nicely with the last one I posted, which hasn't changed since: twitter.com/kitgrose/statu…

Since apparently @UserVoice silently throws away attached videos, here's my recording of this very annoying @Illustrator issue (after it was declared fixed): illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-…

Interesting to see how the @nytgraphics has changed their map symbology as the Russian war in #Ukraine️ unfolds. On Feb 26, large red arrows and an almost opaque red color shows Russian advances in Ukraine. Suggesting fast, large and controlled overtaking. 1/5

@kotwal @marcedwards Hallelujah!

@marcedwards Hi Marc, Thanks for sharing your feedback. Please keep it coming. Illustrator team has identified the root cause of this bug. We are working on it and plan to release the fix soon. I will update you once the fix is out. Thanks

Anyone else having massive, massive issues with Photoshop 23.2.2? I’m seeing all kinds of memory corruption issues on canvas, and it’s crashing non-stop on two different Macs (Intel and M1 Pro).

@icethetics Interesting to see the Montreal version using English. Have you seen any sign of how they're planning to handle the French version, or how the logo will be adapted for SCF patches?

It’s official! The new look of the #StanleyCup Playoffs is here.

@stevedesigner @z_rose @steve_evil Here’s a similar (but slightly different) diagram from The Lancet, which suggests antigen detection only works after onset of symptoms (compared to RNA tests, which can be positive “as early as 6 days before symptoms”). Full article: thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Felt very off-brand. With all the ads since I was last using the product I presume placement exams are a Plus feature now? Feels weird to be asked to learn “bonjour” and “oui” again.

As an aside, it has been three or four years since I last did Duolingo (I had finished the French course at the time) and the experience of signing in again was kind of depressing. Visibly watching all my past progress cleared, no acknowledgement of past success, etc.

@duolingo every time I get told I can advance to the next level straight away, I get this error (it’s happened to me four or five times so far)
