Neighbor cat comes by the door every day and spends hours crying, scratching the door and making a huge drama.

Well, he finally managed to convince the cleaning lady that he lives here so she let him in and this is exactly how social engineering attacks work.

the moral of the story is that you should remember that using a library isn't just about saving the time to write the code: it's also about getting the maturity of the code having been used by other people who have confirmed it works and fixed it when it doesn't

I reference OAuth a lot in my talk, and I can already tell that @aaronpk's discussion of OAuth 2.1 is going to be of interest to anyone who wants to develop the "suite of community apps" pattern from my presentation.

This is about more than one man's personal tax scams. Donald Trump is a liar, a cheater, and a crooked businessman, yes. But he's also taking advantage of a broken, corrupt, and unequal system that’s built for people like him to do what he did.

What if the next iPhone had an SD card slot built in and recorded photo/video directly to it? We would probably use phone cameras more.

For sure; it just requires specific functionality on the provider's side. With webfinger, we always imagined that you could enable "portability" by setting a redirect or a pointer, again provider-dependent.

The reality is that the only real question of a global namespace is a regulatory one - who gets ultimate control of it? And in that, DNS is actually not a bad approach and has spent ~30 years ironing out regulatory bugs and has found a pretty stable spot.

Decentralized naming systems like @HNS and @namecoin seem focused on competing with DNS. They're also hopelessly complicated. Is there equivalent for user names instead of DNS?

The failed promise of Web Components – Lea Verou

September 24th, 2020

A spot-on summary of where we’ve ended up with web components.

Web Components had so much potential to empower HTML to do more, and make web development more accessible to non-programmers and easier for programmers.

But then…

Somewhere along the way, the space got flooded by JS frameworks aficionados, who revel in complex APIs, overengineered build processes and dependency graphs that look like the roots of a banyan tree.

Alas, that’s true. Lea wonders how this can be fixed:

I’m not sure if this is a design issue, or a documentation issue.

I worry that is a cultural issue.

Using a custom element from the directory often needs to be preceded by a ritual of npm flugelhorn, import clownshoes, build quux, all completely unapologetically because “here is my truckload of dependencies, yeah, what”.
