Pretty disappointing that the web didn't end up getting a standard way of adding context menus to a page.
Ahhhhh. Simulating network failures with precise timing is such a pain in the ass.
I need to simulate sending data, it being queued up in the TCP buffer and the connection dying before the buffer is flushed. In Node.js 😭 Pausing transform streams doesn't seem to do the trick. Might have better luck with a funky duplex.

@grumpygamer imagine if you could only call people if they had the same provider as you.
Imagine if you had to have the same email provider as someone you needed to talk to.
We need open and standardized systems.

I think on the Canadian citizenship test they should just ask you if dates are written month/day/year or day/month/year, and then show an object and ask if it's measured in inches or cm, and if you know the answers to either of these questions they don't let you in. You're not ready to be Canadian yet

Anyone working with printers in their #activism should know about tracking dots. This project helps deal with them.
I love thrifting because you can find a weird looking vest for six bucks and it turns out to be some 200$ fancy vest
The Avalanches are good for soothing the bloodlust btw.
Reading through "The Joy of Abstraction" and it's neat so far. I feel like I finally get what a monad is and why it relates to programming after like 15 years of meming about it.
Remember kids, if you still feel intense bloodlust after having a snack and drinking water it means it's time to blast some funky music and clean the house till it goes away.

It worked out! I have practice from attending several talks during the online OurNetworks conf a few years ago :P
Meeting conflict? Just attend them both at once 🤷

read Javi's post from last month about Chromium's Ed25519 implementation to learn about the challenges in getting the last bits over the finish line.

we whipped up a bittorrent swarm that has 200TB of proven storage in like a month by cobbling together everyone's random hard drives. storing 200TB on s3 would cost at least $4.5k per month and would cost $10,000 to download it one time.
why is the cloud good
