So tl;dr - different formats make sense in different contexts depending on your priorities. When you're talking to humans, month names win hands down. When you're writing an API, ISO formats win hands down. Pick the right one for the job.

•Do early design work in small, invested groups
•Design in the open, but away from the bright lights of the big stage
•Iterate furiously early on because once it’s in the web, it’s forever
•Prioritise interop over perfect specs

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Olive Garden commercials and then asked it to write an Olive Garden commercial of its own. Here is the first page.

Q: Doesn't that hurt our job security?
ESR (paraphrased): It's our responsibility to make sure things work and the world works and people don't die. That's all I'm going to say about job security.

Lots of new cool tools are exactly like some old uncool tool that everybody's forgotten about, plus a cute .io site.

"Sorry, didn't catch that – can you repeat?"

I did that. Literally I was on stage MCing the intro to #ml4all and my alarm, set to 9am, went off right after I encouraged people to silence their phones for talks. I couldn't have timed it better if I had tried.

A tale as old as time. 🕯

“My take is that this web-experience mess spans many groups and deliverables, that we need one person/team to own the overall picture, driving it, tracking the experience, etc.”

Pulled my source from Github. Hosting on a clone I wrote over the weekend in Erlang, Go and Haskell. Running on a Raspberry Pi cluster, encased in a diceware locked safe under my foot stool. Cooled by Bitcoin trader's tears and oat milk.

And that was the moment when I realised what an utter nerd I had become.

Vanilla JavaScript is a term frequently used to describe ordinary JavaScript leveraging the browser & DOM APIs. Yes, you read that correctly. No Angular, React, Vue, or even jQuery. And even better it’s not as complicated as you might assume! Learn more → https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/06/05/authentication-vanilla-js

Progressive web apps on my home screen.

I think IndieAuth makes a lot of sense as the way to implement a federated login protocol to provide a "simpler UX for OAuth2" login for Gitea as this issue is named.

It would also be possible to provide support for the "with GitHub" portion (as originally noted in the issue) without having to ask / wait for GitHub to implement IndieAuth, by adding https://indieweb.org/RelMeAuth support.

https://indielogin.com/ is an example of an open source service that supports both of those, IndieAuth as github.com/aaronpk suggested and RelMeAuth, and is in daily use by folks signing-into the IndieWeb.org site.

Apple basically declaring war on adtech. Safari will halt tracking, Like buttons etc and ask permission; will thwart device fingerprinting (used by trackers to get round blocking of other tech) #WWDC18
