I imagine a settlement on Mars looking like a doubly dismal Dubai

This copy of MS Bob I bought off eBay had this weird additional disk in it

Nick Bostrom popularized a thought experiment where an AI is tasked to maximize production of paperclips, consumes the known universe in the process.

... Just replace paperclips with crypto. A huge chunk of the silicon produced by TSMC is going into GPUs for crypto mining.

Lol it would be cool if we could embed theme music into our Twitter profiles that fades in as you start scrolling

I made a game called Cofounder Quest to find a new collaborator! I'm hiding the game on floppy disks all over the city in places where a software engineer is likely to stumble into it. ⚡️

Enjoy,

Feature suggestion for every OS vendor out there:
provide a top level, ALWAYS VISIBLE affordance indicating whether someone is muted or otherwise in the current app.

The amount of collective, unnecessary mayhem caused by mute confusion is just mind boggling 🤯

next time a tech bro makes inappropriate comments about a woman's body i'm going to call them a feature creep because they know that that's bad

Thanks again to @aaronpk! As they say, those who master tech can explain it simply. Sessions were very easy to follow. Felt accomplished getting that “Claim Prize” message at the end too, lol. Looking forward to reading your book.

Started my work day with @oktadev, so it is only fitting to end it at #DeveloperDay live lab with @aaronpk. Let’s do this!

I love a good Venn Diagram.

Thanks @aaronpk for a great @oktadev #DeveloperDay lab. Appreciate it.

I recorded a long podcast about token formats and then wrote a blog post about it. https://fly.io/blog/api-tokens-a-tedious-survey/

Imagine going to an Identity Management tech conference and learning how to build a better personal identity in tech. Genius!

I have spent the entire #DeveloperDay session looking ABOVE the camera, which makes it look like I am in some mystical trance... whereas @aaronpk, always the expert videographer, looks straight into the camera :)

This was an excellent session from @aaronpk and @vibronet on the past and future of OAuth!

Future stuff they mentioned:

- RAR: Rich Authorization Requests (so you can add more to consent screens)
- Sender-Constrained Access Tokens (to verify the sender)

I want to publish my new blog post, but I realize I hate my current website, so naturally I have to rebuild it before I can publish my new blog 💁‍♀️😎

Today is Okta + Auth0's developer day! Learn how to secure APIs, IoT devices, and your JAMstack apps.

Tomorrow, we're hosting a full day of labs with hands-on exercises.

I hope to see you there!

All in all – a multi-channel approach / omni-channel approach to community building, making sure that everyone can engage in some way and that everyone feels included, yet that there is good progress.

A well maintained and curated wiki combined with the brainstorming-enabling, always-logged, searchable IRC (that is bridged to Slack, and Discord) is surprisingly nice.
