I still can’t believe it’s February! IndieWebCamp Austin is coming up in just a few weeks. You can register here for $5. It’s a great time to learn more about the open web or get help with your own site.

@darius It's a parallel universe with a similar evolutionary curve, though: for instance WKT to GeoJSON with a few dead intermediary XML relatives isn't that different from the INI/DSL or worse ASN.1 formats through XML into modern JSON formats.
Just about everything speaks GeoJSON these days and there are all sorts of converters around.
Coordinate systems are like timezone math, you can probably ignore them (right up until they try to eat you because you want to schedule trains through them).
@aaronpk but being on plane internet is such a reliable excuse for not joining any conference calls
@aaronpk It’s actually a really interesting hybridg eng/AI approach: they build an ML model from past Zoom interactions to create a simulacrum of each user which speaks on their behalf. What you’re hearing is just a generative model of the person you’re “talking” to saying what they’d be likely to say in real life; same on their end. It’s *incredibly* bandwidth-efficient. The protocol just sends a tiny presence packet with your user ID once per second to keep your avatar talking.
