Mastodon #ProTip: If you haven’t yet, log into your account on the web & set up a few featured hashtags.
Featured hashtags let visitors to your profile quickly know what interests you & are different than just putting tags in your main bio decription. When tapped they search specifically on your timeline to reveal the topics you are interested in and post often about.
They display in clients like @ivory & are a way to quickly access posts for easy threading too. 👍
Debuggers are great and they have their place, but never underestimate the power of simply printing "Barney was here" when tracing code.
Barney often needs some help from Wilma and Betty and his mate Fred, but if you have to bring out Dino and Bam Bam it's probably gone wrong. Maybe you should put the Flintstones away and break out that debugger now. 😉
Important: don't forget to remove them before deploying into production.
I've had the Poolbeg Stacks on retainer for most of my time here in Ireland. A lot of landscape photographers don't realise it, but you can (sometimes) book sessions with great models even if you can't afford their full day rates.
I only get off-peak times; mostly early mornings when the big fashion brands and tourism clients are still asleep. But that means I can get some nice sunrises.
Back in from shoveling deep, sopping wet snow and have a #ProTip for you: You need to actually put coffee in the filter if you want to reward yourself with a nice cup of hot coffee. Hope this helps! ☕ 😜
#ProTip: A #SwiftUI#ViewModifier, as it name suggests, should only manipulate view content! You should always avoid placing any business logic here! View modifiers are real agnostics when it comes to business logic. Don't do that. ☝🏼
#MardiPatisserie pour ne pas trop stresser sur le fait qu'on va devoir faire une présentation devant des gens, bientôt 😬 (pas gagné que ça marche, mais au moins, il y a le flan..)
@Anne73939133@antoinechambertloir#protip : pense à bien respirer, pendant ta présentation. Prends-toi 2 minutes de marge à l'entraînement, parceque même si tu parleras plus vite sous l'effet du stress, tu auras envie d'expliquer plus de choses. Pense à respirer, fait des micro-pauses, ralentis ton rythme. Les gens écoutent mieux quand tu parles d'une voix calme et le stress peut faire monter dans les aigus. Pense à respirer.
When you support your arguments with #livedExperience, it is widely and wildly considered good form when both the experience and the life you are referring to largely intersect with, you know, your own.
Remember those two pronged plugs in the recording music? yeah you need to plug them in the way that the chassis doesn't tingle from the hot side! #ProTip#iLikeToWatch#60hzhum
Tip 1: use your stove to assist with initially heating the bath, and use a very low temperature to help the cooker at higher bath temperatures. Induction hobs are ideal because they can hold an exceptionally low power. #SousVide#ProTip#EasterPig
Tip 2: on long cooks, cover the pot with cling wrap to minimise evaporation. I regularly do 18-24 hour cooks using this, and have never had a problem with the bath running dry #SousVide#ProTip#EasterPig
Tip 3: on medium to long cooks of 4+ hours, cover the pot with alfoil to minimise heat loss and reduce the amount of power needed to keep the bath at temperature. Shiny side down. #SousVide#ProTip#EasterPig
Tip 4: just buy the longest rolls of cling wrap, alfoil, and baking paper. It’s not like those go bad over time… (see previous 2 toots for photos) #SousVide#ProTip#EasterPig
Tip 5: double-seal your vac-pack bags. The seal is the weakest point, especially on higher temperature cooks like this. Move the bag a couple of mm so you get 2 separate seals close together but not overlapping #SousVide#ProTip#EasterPig
Today's #ProTip -- if you keep Emergency Coffee in the freezer, you should rotate it out occasionally. Beans keep for quite a while if your freezer is cold but there are still limits.
This public service announcement brought to you by my looming vacation, and the bag of beans I had to resort to with a harvest date of 2013 on them. (I don't know how good they are, I've been a bit nervous to actually try the pot I brewed...)
