    Placebo buttons: Australian pedestrians press for no reason at traffic lights https://t.co/k5tIAZfUH8 // I highlighted the key bit. “Most of the time” means you still have to press the damn button. 😐 https://t.co/SDbiVNi781

    @hannahcancode EXACTLY!

    @msharp The hours are mentioned in the article. My point is that if it’s not 100% of the time, then always pushing the button is the rational response. They make it sound like people are stupid, when in reality they’re being perfectly logical.

    @catehstn @jessfraz Gahhhh so jealous! Can’t wait for a review. ❄️❤️

    THIS. So much this. https://t.co/iAglovFw75

    @JessTelford Well, to be fair it’s hard to print a summary when speakers are changing their damn talks right up until the last minute. 😂

    WordPress experts: did the default behaviour of WP_Query change? Just spent 2 hours debugging issue on @RoaldDahlFans only to discover it’s because page_type was defaulting to ‘post’ and I was looking for pages. BUT! It used to work, and I haven’t changed code. 😠

    And I’ve been looking at the WP Codex and bug reports and I can’t find any mention of it ever being different. So how the hell did my previous queries (which didn’t specify post_type at all) even work?

    There is nothing more frustrating than tracking down and fixing a bug, and then not being able to figure out how your code ever worked in the first place.

    @miss_jwo Hehe, it’s okay. Yeah, I reckon something got more strict. Unfortunately I can’t figure out when! https://t.co/OoJkl7lNYI shows pages looking correct in 2017, but no captures in 2018 so I’m not sure when it broke.

    @miss_jwo I keep plugin usage fairly minimal, but it could’ve been related, I guess. This was just a custom shortcode I wrote to pull in links to pages with certain tags. I had to specify post_type=page to get it to work again!

    @miss_jwo SAME! Like, it works now, but why did it ever work before? 😂 You could be on to something – the shortcode is only used on pages.

    @miss_jwo Example is this page: https://t.co/ToqR79gTDw. That list is generated from a shortcode, and underlying function is here (except it prev worked without post_type) https://t.co/7FikxyyziO

    Can confirm that “Set It Up” is an excellent, more-adult-than-TATBIL-but-still-super-charming romcom. (Charlie is no Peter Kavinsky, but let’s be honest – no one is.) Highly recommended if you have a lot of ironing to get through. 👍

    @GlennSarti Well, except as near as I can tell, I wrote the original code over a year ago and it was working fine… up until some unspecified point in the hopefully recent past. 😩

    @amitchell01 Yep – won’t make that mistake again! 🙂

    @Amys_Kapers Reclaim the romcom! No shame when they’re good. 😉

    RT @developerjack: While the #Australian gov has us worried about #MyHealthRecord, it’s sneakily trying to legislate government backed hack…

    @EricGershman @BR3NDA @RobMurrish @AlecMuffett @Asher_Wolf You’re in luck. 🙂 https://t.co/3pLqbLJ4zU

    “My duck looked better than that one,” sniffed the Snook. 😂

  • Dirty Girls

    This is amazing. In 1996, a high school senior in California shot a documentary about a group of punk-feminist 8th grade girls. It’s a time capsule. I love this…

    My impulse when watching was to figure out where I would’ve been in that particular social pecking order. (I graduated in ’95, so a few years older than most of the students in the film.) I would’ve admired those girls, I think, but I didn’t have the self-confidence to fully identify. I was trying so hard to not stand out, while simultaneously really wanting to. I was probably one of the milquetoast hangers-on, to be honest.

    I was really happy to read a follow-up to see that the women are still kicking ass now, 20+ years later, and they’re fine with the reaction to the video.

    @MichelePlayfair It’s been amazing watching your tweets. Are you having fun? 🙂

    TIL about AWS Lambda versioning… and how, if I’d been smart, I would’ve used an alias for the endpoint for my Alexa skill and thus now have to go through certification again. 😩

    @tcn33 Nice callout in the Sizzle today! 👏 @decryption

    @lizthegrey Wow, that’s amazing! Kick some ass. 🙂

    @AlecMuffett @Asher_Wolf I saw an IoT talk two years ago where the parent had built a system where the lightbulbs would flash when a child got up out of bed. She deliberately made it hackable in the hopes her kid would find a workaround and learn some new coding skills. 😂

    On Thursday at the #WinTechSeries conf I talked about my sadness at seeing so many amazing Aussie technical women moving overseas. Got home to find a request from yet another one to use me as a reference for her US visa application. 😢

    And it’s her dream job, and I appreciate that. Just sad that we don’t have more of people’s dream jobs HERE.

    Such a massive brain drain happening, and I just get depressed about it every now and then.

    @RobMurrish @AlecMuffett @Asher_Wolf Just looked it up – the speaker was @BR3NDA! I always meant to ask how it turned out – did Small Child manage to hack the system?
