@siracusa re: F1 onboard cameras, they’re really not critical to the main produced race video. They switch to various cameras throughout the race. And it gives a nice perspective at times, but overall, 80%+ of race coverage on the main video is on-course cameras (including helicopter and cable mounted etc.). If an onboard camera break during a race, nothing gets done

Docusign support says my issue is an existing issue, DIRCA-2483. Docusign support website says this issue was resolved 6 hours ago. Who’s correct?

"Let's Encrypt is a golden example of how creating inalienable good is possible with the right approach and the right values. And while I'm excited about the work Let's Encrypt has done, I am eager to see their work continue to keep up with the growing Web; to sustain encryption for everybody at Internet scale. To do so is going to take more than me—it's going to take a community of people committed to this work. I am confident Let's Encrypt is a project that deserves all of our support, in ways both large and small." https://letsencrypt.org/2025/03/18/community-of-funders/
Ten Years of Let's Encrypt: Announcing support from Jeff Atwood

As we touched on in our first blog post highlighting ten years of Let’s Encrypt: Just as remarkable to us as the technical innovations behind proliferating TLS at scale is, so too is the sustained generosity we have benefited from throughout our first decade. With that sense of gratitude top of mind, we are proud to announce a contribution of $1,000,000 from Jeff Atwood. Jeff has been a longtime supporter of our work, beginning many years ago with Discourse providing our community forum pro bono; something Discourse still provides to this day.

@marcoarment any stats on how often someone accidentally deletes an entire podcast feed in overcast instead of just an episode? I feel like I’ve done it multiple times. You could check how long it takes someone to resubscribe to a feed after deleting it. Suggest a confirmation when deleting feed.

In 2019 we built a joke game as part of a Rube Goldberg marketing campaign that would let indies turn the tables on key scammers. It got banned off Steam, exposed a $1.9M bug, confused the wrong scammers AND burned our marketing budget for zero gain.
This is the story of Drawkanoid: Review Breaker.
