I endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States of America. [❤️ to endorse, RT to annoy the platform owners]

Google search results now include a "People also ask" list of questions with "answers". Have you noticed that the answers are usually wrong? @Google is scraping content farms — computer-generated articles on popular topics — and presenting the accumulated garbage as knowledge.🤮

The leading edge of this hurricane actually feels like the leading edge of a hurricane. This is not going to be "light showers" for Tustin.

HTTP is now a full Internet Standard (STD 97, 98, 99) and prepared for another 30 years of evolution. If you want to see what has changed, check out the history at github.com/httpwg/http-core

Passed 6000 dead in OC today, with nary a mention. I sure didn't expect that a mass murderer could be on the loose for two years, kill another 28 in one day, and half the county still doesn't believe it exists.
#OC, we have posted the #OCCOVID19 newly confirmed cases reported to us today to our website at occovid19.ochealthinfo.com/c…. Confirmed cases and additional data are posted Monday-Friday.

One problem with "mostly right" takes on my dissertation is when they see the trees but not the forest. REST isn't about APIs; it's about system interaction for network-based apps. But the constraints were also designed to induce a uniform network-based API (URI+HTTP+HTML+etc).
Roy Fielding's Misappropriated REST Dissertation b.mamund.com/3BegqLO "given that @Fielding’s dissertation was all about avoiding silver bullet software architectures, how did REST become a de facto standard for web services of every kind?" -- @TwoBitHistory #api360 #REST

Yes, REST is a buzzword, it has been abused (as expected), and the name refers to an architectural style in a dissertation about software engineering. However, seeing the Web through REST goggles does reveal the general-purpose network-based API designed within that architecture.

I get my blockchains from Costco. I buy them in bulk, 48 chains altogether, since using the blockchain is an important part of my day. They are usually accessible blockchains, suspended to the right of my porcelain throne, but I keep mass storage behind the throne just in case.

Pardon me, I have to go mint a few NFTs.

And @RepKatiePorter was elected to congress in my district largely because she campaigned as a newcomer vowing to repeal the Trump Tax increase of the SALT cap. She's probably safe at this point (because she's the one doing all of the work in Congress), but Democrats are not.
Replying to @SenSanders
The SALT deduction is what people have already paid in taxes to their local/state governments. Taxing income that the individual never sees is obscene. It is withheld by progressive states to pay for Democrat-supported services. Billionaires do not pay income taxes!

The production quality on the artist stories at #AdobeMAX2021 is epic... some of the best I've ever seen. As if we borrowed the best Netflix creators to make NOVA-style episodes about real artists, but without following someone else's script. Artists showing their own lives/work.

Thinking about the Chicago WWW conference for some reason… just realized it was 27 years ago today. Time flies. I remember how optimistic everyone was, even when they disagreed, and how easily we changed the world when it was the right thing to do. Oh, to have that energy again.

I think this might be the first image I have ever seen that shows the earth axis tilt as 0º, tilting the orbit instead. I like it. Anyone have a view with all of the planet orbits in 3D with red axis arrows, moving through space, while zooming to galaxy scale?
Happy first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere! Today is the equinox -- a day when the northern and southern hemispheres receive equal amounts of sunlight. ☀️➡️🌎 go.nasa.gov/3nTX0ry

Fortnite's Peely has apparently created a legal precedent on appropriate court dress for ... a fruit skin.

... merely to be “dressing” Peely in a tuxedo for federal court, as jest to reflect the general solemnity of a federal court proceeding. As Mr. Weissinger later remarked, and with which the Court agrees, Peely is “just a banana man,” additional attire was not necessary ... 🤦‍♂️

Twitter's content-security-policy header field is 2623 bytes long and is critical path on every response. Every. Single. Response. No wonder h2 field compression is important to them. Without it, they'd actually have to secure that content.

Everyone talks about the SCOTUS decision in terms of APIs, but it looks a lot more like a fundamental reset on fair use of copyright works. Personally, I think that should have a profound effect on music copyrights (for the good of all).
