I did it! 📢 🎉 If you missed my #RailsConf talk and want to learn how checkups can help you find unusual bugs in production, check out my slides: rofreg.com/talks. Or just find me and talk to me! 😊

@ke Aww thank you! It’s still a concept that we use at Splitwise all the dang time 😊Hooray for finding and fixing bugs!

Also, FYI: I'm not on Twitter very much anymore! In response to *gestures vaguely at everything* I've been trying to break my Twitter habit. That said, I may post occasionally on Mastodon going forward – my primary account is @rofreg@hachyderm.io. @rofreg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hachyderm.io/@rofreg

🎨It's almost Pinch Pad time again!! From now on, I'll be doing hourly comics for one WEEK per year – so for 2023, you can expect new comics from January 1–7. Follow along: - @pinchpad on Twitter - @pinchpad@mastodon.art on Mastodon - Tumblr link below pinchpad.com

@laughing_ghost_ Next P.A.L.S. episode? 🕵️

'IMMORTALITY' from @mrsambarlow @HalfMermaid is finally available on iOS and Android through @Netflix following its debut on PC and Xbox platforms toucharcade.com/2022/11/15/net…

We have three free tickets available to #RubyConfMini, sponsored by @splitwise. If you want to come to the conference but haven't gotten a ticket yet, please reach out via DM or email (organizers@rubyconfmini.com)

@SamGHoward Yeah this is something I’m really curious about too (as someone who built a text-banking tool in 2017!). I suspect it doesn’t change voting behavior in the short term, but I’ve wondered if it might have (very minor) long-term effects by making people associate elections with spam

@equartey @Studio_Contra You too!!! One of these days, I swear I’ll get out there and see this home of yours in person ❤️

@rofreg @Studio_Contra Thanks Ryan, it’s wild how such a small detail can make such an impact! (Also, I miss you!)

We're 10 months into construction, which blows my mind a little 😀 Here's a thread of construction photos, and updates on how things are going so far ❤️🏡#QHome (1/n)

@equartey @Studio_Contra The “soldier course” looks so damn good! Incredible how it’s coming together, and incredible how you’re capturing and sharing it all. Excited to see it continue to unfold!

Building in brick, you come to appreciate more the human hand in made things Thank you to the incredible people who have cradled this project so far, and a special thank you to @Studio_Contra for too many things to mention There's still a long way to go. Wish us luck 🙏🏿❤️ 18/18

@ice_coffee_boy Hell yeah. Equinoxes and solstices (longest night!) are where it’s at, imo

✨ Special announcement ✨ We've created a special, limited edition, Rhode Island-themed RubyConf Mini sticker -- and TODAY is the only day to get it.

@justfrowzy Of course, thanks for yr doc! Fwiw, these are some upcoming prizes I've found – substitute the word into "spamton-prizes.fangamer.workers.dev/prizes/WORD-1.…" or "spamton-prizes.fangamer.workers.dev/prizes/WORD-vi…". No obvious hints that I can see, but I know the toilet paper had a URL on it... cube watch glass candle poster banana

@justfrowzy The blinking pattern is random, according to the Javascript code on the page. (Just found this page myself, via checking common words!)

I thought this was a #Splatoon3 map @rofreg

Been meaning to explore the alternatives for a hot minute, but I guess this weekend it's time to actually finally do it!

Heroku is retiring their free tier in November. End of an era. I can’t overstate how important the Heroku free tier was to my early development as a Rails engineer. I’m sure their fraud problems are tough, but this is so disappointing to see. blog.heroku.com/next-chapter

We're happy to announce #RubyConfMini :partying_face: Taking place in Providence, RI on Nov 15-17 @rubyconfmini will be another option for rubyists who don't feel comfortable traveling to #RubyConf2022 in TX. Learn more here rubyconfmini.com

.@RISpeaker says he’s talking to his membership about reconvening the General Assembly to pass the EACA, in conversation with @WomanProjectHQ activists. Noted his pro-choice voting record. Says he needs 2/3rds of the House to reconvene. @UpriseRI

@JohnMarionjr If they have the exact same 4th quarter as last game, they’ll win by 1! 😛

They’re not coming back this time, right?

DALLE-2 has a secret language. "Apoploe vesrreaitais" means birds. "Contarra ccetnxniams luryca tanniounons" means bugs or pests. The prompt: "Apoploe vesrreaitais eating Contarra ccetnxniams luryca tanniounons" gives images of birds eating bugs. A thread (1/n)🧵
