Read my reply, I'm talking about settings, not dismisses.

You can disable it in your settings, if you hated it so much you would have spent the 30 seconds it takes to get rid of it :)
flavien_bessede··on Rosetta finds comet's water vapour to be significantly different from Earth's
So what happened between the Big Bang and Earth formation? For some reason I always thought they were one and the same.
flavien_bessede··on Clocks Are Bad, Or, Welcome to the World of Distributed Systems
Distributed systems design aside, the core of the problem is that they relied on ntp (as they probably should), and in their case ntp was not working properly.

Am I the only one here that think this system won't scale?
flavien_bessede··on Show HN: Distraction Free Reader/Writer
The entire workflow of managing more than one write-up needs some more work. Few examples:

- if you come back and try to edit a write-up you'll have to first open the preview then remember the shortcut to edit it, not really another way around except maybe changing the URL.

- if you have more than one write-up with the same name, you don't really know which one you are on right now.

- deleting the write-up is kinda confusing too. and you can't delete on the view mode.

- shortcuts gets mixed up between control and option.

But overall love it and will try to write more with your help!

flavien_bessede··on Weavrs - autonomous Twitter bots
Your homepage needs some work, I'm still unclear on what Weavrs is.
flavien_bessede··on Ask HN: ETL - packaged tools or roll your own?
I always loved ETL softwares, they are flexible and offer a broad range of features. But if you think about it, you can do most of it yourself, especially logging and automation. The only huge advantage over in-house ETL solutions is parallel execution which is really hard to code properly. Even thought ETL softwares are amazing, they clearly do not justify their price, and you will always love your own code better than a tool that may or may not have all the features that you need. Roll your own.

These weren't DMs but replies.
flavien_bessede··on Hacking Twitter and being suspended in less than 2 days and 300 tweets
Try to understand what triggered the spam detection bot. Maybe it's the interval between two mentions that was too short? A solution would be to never do a tweet/mention more than every 10s or so. Maybe it's a matter of ratio, normal tweets vs mentions?

Your user acquisition rates are great, persevere.
