FTL. At least until you've beaten the game several times

How did you find crowdstrikes test plan?

I've noticed recently that as I'm paging through lemmy in firefox if a video is posted it will start auto-playing with the volume maxed. I don't mind it autoplaying before I get there but it's very annoying to have a page load and suddenly getting blasted with unexpected sound.

Just saw these guys in Miramichi, New Brunswick this weekend when we were visiting for the eclipse and quite enjoyed their show. A mix of their own music (like this song), traditional irish/scottish music and covers of some local artists like Stan Rogers and Great Big Sea

Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan's airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw?si=aLTlAMKv_3p3ri2q I think he may have made multiple videos on the topic

When he took over twitter there was a bunch of stuff he was spouting about things like Twitter's stack needing a full rewrite and such. Going so far as to fire the engineer that challenged him on it during a live spaces thing if I recall correctly.

Tried our hand at making deep dish pizza for new years. Turned out quite good but I'm no expert so I can't say how accurate it was. I am told the toppings are supposed to all go under the sauce but I couldn't resist putting some pepperoni on top

Places like the bowling alley aren't surprising though since he's a regular and always orders the same stuff

The removal of borders on buttons. I don't know how many times I've been using a piece of software and haven't realized for a long while that some icon is actually a clickable thing and not just some UI decoration or something.

The removal of text in favor of icons. I hate having to memorize what all your icons mean in your app. Please just make text unless it's something insanely obvious. It's even worse when they neglect to put tool tips to tell you what the icon is supposed to mean

There's an interview with one of the researchers who found this on quirks and quarks last weekend. Quirks and quarks is a long running science show on CBC in Canada. Rather interesting, the scientist said at first they thought maybe the flood waters had washed the wood into that formation or something but there are apparently clear tool marks and signs it was deliberately formed.
