    Said goodbye to my Valentine for a few days… ❤️ (“Why does my head always look so huge in our photos? Stick your face out more!” 😂)

    The @United app keeps telling me to put in a credit card so I can buy food on the plane, yet the billing address form only lists North American countries. So there’s no way for Europeans to buy food on US domestic flights, apparently. 🤷‍♀️


    @MichelePlayfair @mishmashtan LOOK AT HIS LITTLE BUTT!! 😍🥚🍑

    @wolkencode @dtraub Oh no! Sorry to hear it. Would love to volunteer but we will both be travelling on Monday for a work thing. 🙁 We can ask internally for you…


    @FrankPrechtel I’ve shared that internally Frank – will let you know ASAP if I get anyone interested!

    This prompted a vigorous lunchtime debate with @the_snook. Happily, we are in agreement and we are a “style.css” household. #nodivorcetoday https://t.co/mQYSyYhDOp


    @Doctor_Astro Love 👏 to 👏 see 👏 it! 👏


    @devdevcharlie I missed the news, but sounds like a little vacation is sorely needed. Enjoy and take care Charlie!

    @jenlooper I’m sewing sock monkeys. I ran out of polyfill and had to buy more. 😳


    @knitcodemonkey @jenlooper @mellowbeing I… actually started building the thing you want last year, @mellowbeing. I got it to where it can reliably identify 5 basic stitches. Next step is to increase the amount of training data! https://t.co/M0MT99uOkB


    @jenlooper @knitcodemonkey @mellowbeing Nice! Pretty much the same procedure I followed, except on AWS. Hardest part is always finding decent training data and getting it labelled. I had a volunteer task force of knitters helping me with it. 🙂


    @jenlooper @knitcodemonkey @mellowbeing @JanelleCShane Yep! She sent me some very helpful whitepapers about knitting and ML back when I kicked off my project in 2019. But creating weird patterns is more fun than trying to decipher fuzzy floppy photos of knitting. 😂


    Yep. Grocery store, all through high school. https://t.co/N9r92ujg60

    Back in Australia I used to be the first one to wish you a happy birthday, so maybe this year I’ll take advantage of my disorganisation to be the last. 😂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
