🤯 TIL MySQL is aware of daylight savings time, and considers any times between 2am-3am when the clocks skip forward an invalid date!

In one session, it might throw an error, and in another session, it might store 3:00am instead of 2:05! 🤯

omfg, TIMESTAMP type columns are timezone-aware, but DATETIME columns are always UTC. How have I been using MySQL for 25 years and never known this

This is a MONTHLY budget. The rich have absolutely no connection whatsoever to reality.

I've seen worse! At least they put retirement savings way up in that list!

We're apparently, so far, gearing up for a Basic Filmmaker live stream "reunion" without the Basic Filmmaker lol (I asked. He's not going)

hahaha I love this I am in. Don't tell Kevin 🤫

As a classically trained cellist, composer, former Apple employee, and CEO of a design studio that specialized in icon and UI design, I am ~uniquely qualified~ to comment on the Apple Music Classical app.

I don't know why Twitter surfaced this to me at the top of my "For You" page, but as a trained pianist, composer, software architect, startup founder, and someone who interviewed at Apple, I am here for this! 💯💪

if you set your dock to hide, run this Terminal command to get rid of the slowest animation on macOS:

Defaults write http://com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0 && defaults write http://com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.4 && killall Dock

trust me

Thank you for this!

According to my calculations, this will save me a full hour over the course of the next year. What should I do with the extra time?

Wouldn't you want to prototype with the largest and most diverse group of users first?

Depends on the goals of the prototype I guess. That's above my pay grade.

@aaronpk 4 hours is incredible. If I do two, or sometimes even just one one-hour Zoom presentation in a day, I’m wiped.

eh it's an open protocol, ideally there is no "official" client at all. Anyone can make an Android client. They're just prototyping it on iOS for now.

@aaronpk How should #mastodon and other #fediverse apps support #oauth? Can we have a better experience than "enter your server URL here to follow"?

Same advice really, but the "enter your server URL to follow" is a slightly different (and more complicated) problem.

No.
To be clear: Not run an ad on a video, run your video as an ad, basically putting paid reach behind it the same way the creator can.
You'll sometimes see companies do this if a creator made a video about their product (sponsored or unsponsored) and they liked it.

This happened to me once, the PR agency I worked with ran my video as an ad without telling me. I'm also suspicious that they might not have told their client, and used it as a way to boost the views on my video to make them look good?

Context switches are absolutely brutal in identity. The amount of context I need to swap in and out from my brain for different subtopics is staggering.

Oh good it's not just me then

Quick reminder: When you get an email like this, what they are offering isn't an actual sponsorship. What they are really doing is giving you a $100 sign on bonus to promote the company as an affiliate in your videos.

Ah, the illegal fake review scheme that can cause them to lose their store. It would be a shame if they got reported...

lol yeah, the best part is the postcard says "for your safety, don't include this postcard in your photo in your review"

@aaronpk If it's a gift card that can be used to purchase a product from anyone (not just from the seller asking for the review), then that's different. However, they may have made a $200-300 profit on the $500 sale. Reinvesting part of the profit into reviews for a new-ish listing can create a competitive advantage that can pay off well over the longer term. Even if they break even or have a small loss, it can be an effective "loss leader" strategy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader

Amazon gift cards are basically cash. And yes I'm familiar with the concept of a loss leader
