There is no reason that your personal website couldn't ping my personal website when you post an awesome new photo, and yet the entirety of some artists' work is held in an Instagram profile- these are choices we have made as developers, creators, and as a society

There's definitely a growing worldwide community doing exactly this right now! #indieweb

[I don't know what happened with your reply there? It might be leaking your location?]

I realise that; I was replying to Phil with something that would work for his instructions (of which step 1 was creating your own Foursquare app).

Fixed my site, thanks, here is the actual reply: https://aaronparecki.com/2019/08/29/12/

Foursquare requires the client secret, simon doesn't want to ship the secret in the code, so the only way to do it is for simon to host a web service that acts as a relay.

When I wrote a script to get all of a user’s checkins to make an ical feed I couldn’t find anything and ended up with the laborious instructions here https://github.com/philgyford/foursquare-feeds

It definitely exists, I use it for copying my checkins going forward to my website. I just haven't done the full import of past checkins yet. https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/users/checkins

Heard of a cool tech-bro-weeding interview technique the other day. A male and female engineer conduct the interview session together. If, when the female engineer asks the candidate a question, he directs his answer to the male engineer, then he's out. They said it happens a lot

@aaronpk but the carbon emissions of that air commute are much, much greater, even compared to long car commutes!

That is very true, which is why I'm glad I don't actually commute every day :-)

I've reached the point that a day trip to the Bay Area from Portland is effectively the same as a "long commute to work". I'm also pretty sure this is still shorter than some peoples' commutes within the Bay Area.

Me (in Australia): It took me a bit to get used to how all your power outlets have individual switches.

My mate (I use the word mate now): You mean in America the power to all the outlets is on all the time?

Me: yup

My mate: Well, that's just fucking dangerous!

also I'm imagining someone saying that in an australian accent and it is great
