    whew, just added 3 more posts in an attempt to catch up on my 365 RFCs project

    https://write.as/365-rfcs/rfc-77
    https://write.as/365-rfcs/rfc-78
    https://write.as/365-rfcs/rfc-79

    I am currently... 35 days behind. Oof.

    Aaron Parecki
    This is such a cool project though.

    If I learned anything from writing a song every day for 100 days in a row it's that doing *anything* every day is a serious challenge, much less something that takes creative effort or critical thinking!

    In other news, I picked up an Anker PowerPort Atom PD1 charger last week and I am blown away. Its absolutely tiny, charges my iPhone extremely quickly, and can even charge my 13" MacBook Pro. Highly recommended - https://amzn.to/2DyF3GX
    Aaron Parecki
    My new favorite charger is the Innergie 60C, it's the size of an iPhone charger but about twice the height and provides 60W! I remember looking at that one but was skeptical that 30W would be enough for the 13" Pro. https://amzn.to/2GJWUf9

    Really would love a copy of Logic Pro X for podcast production/editing, but I just can't justify the cost. Its a shame that GarageBand doesn't have a real podcast workflow. Perhaps Ferrite will end up on macOS soon to fill the gap...
    Aaron Parecki
    What is Garage Band missing? I've used it for podcast editing before. Logic Pro is pretty much just a grown-up version of Garage Band, they are very similar though!

    Anyway, I think there may be an upper limit on hiring for a project, where there are tasks that just can't be decomposed. But I think there are plenty of projects where hiring more people makes things go faster.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah I think there's some point where hiring more does make the team more productive (from 1 to 2 people for example), but much beyond that I think there are diminishing returns. Hiring people with skills other than development is a whole different story tho.

    Jetblue is rolling out a procedure where they identify customers not by their boarding pass or passport, but by facial recognition provided by the Department of Homeland Security https://twitter.com/mackenzief/status/1118509708673998848 http://mediaroom.jetblue.com/investor-relations/press-releases/2018/11-15-2018-184045420

    Makes me feel sick to my stomach. I should stop flying places.

    Aaron Parecki
    British Airlines did this on my last flight from the UK. I don't quite understand how I was already in that database.

    @aaronpk read the summary, probably not for me. However, hats off for clearly starting the audience. Many authors, businesses, schools, etc. would be much better off doing so. I'm basically the opposite of the audience, except I haven't put up the picket fence yet.

    Aaron Parecki
    yeah I get that. fwiw most of the advice is applicable to literally everyone though, so you never know!

    @aaronpk how was the book?

    Aaron Parecki
    It's great! Also, a little bird told me there aren't very many copies left so you should buy one now if you're interested before they run out!

    ~ Computer security tips from the year 2035 ~

    Never memorise the characters that comprise your password as this could be picked up by a nearby device with Facebook thought-to-text activated

    Instead, focus on using muscle memory alone to hit the correct keys in the correct order

    Aaron Parecki
    I actually did this for an online bank password 10 years ago or so. I typed it out repeatedly, but never looked at what I was typing. I used that password for a couple years and literally could not tell you what it was.

    @aaronpk No worries, it's obviously worded just as a reminder. Hope you enjoyed it here in Prague!

    Aaron Parecki
    I made the mistake of riding it to get up to the castle, but it turns out those scooters really don't do well on the cobblestone streets! It was such a bumpy ride!

    @aaronpk That's the local team reminding you that you might get fined for leaving the scooter outside the green zone. Seems like you did that when you were in Prague? :)

    Aaron Parecki
    Uhoh, I definitely left it in the zone, but it was right on the border!

    @aaronpk So, my logic for manually linking it would be that for, e.g. cross posting to micro.blog, autolinking the plain-text “@aaronpk” might not wind up referencing the user you intended. Forcing a hyperlink to the original instagram user is more reliable...

    Aaron Parecki
    So one thing to keep in mind is that there is no mechanism to send HTML in the "simple" mode, only in the "JSON" mode. In fact it might already be autolinking usernames in that mode, I can't remember now.

    @aaronpk Oh, and I guess if we're going for wishlist-y things... further processing of the reposted text. Making it link usernames in the posts? Maybe strip the #tags?

    Aaron Parecki
    hm most people do the autolinking in their blog software. I could see making an option to remove hashtags, tho only if they appear at the end of the post otherwise it could remove words from the middle of the caption if you use hashtags inline...

    @aaronpk There's probably a notable set of people who're switching from manually-mirroring to automation, and that's the crowd who're going to be annoyed by suddenly having 15 duplicate posts. (It me.)

    Aaron Parecki
    fyi I pushed a change so that it will now only import photos posted after you sign up for OYG. Let me know if you want me to reset your account so you can start over.

    @aaronpk @manton Oh! I didn’t realize it was only the first page of new photos; It freaked me out so much When it began posting of previous photos that I just turned it off. I really only want it to start posting photos after I connect it, if that makes sense.

    Aaron Parecki
    yeah, makes sense. I just pushed a change to enable this. It will now only import photos posted after you sign up for OYG. (Tho in your case you signed up a while ago so let me know if you want me to reset this for you)

    This happens to me constantly! I live in France and a word will either come out in German, Hungarian or Spanish before it comes in French and then, when I try to switch back to those others, French is all I can think of!

    wow I wish I could speak 4 languages! Still working on German, yesterday I managed to not speak any English in Germany 😄

    @aaronpk @jw I could see wanting to have a more explicit "post all of these" button, so the default is just new photos. We added batch import from Instagram archives in Micro.blog for macOS, but that's not available to non-Mac users, so full import from OwnYourGram would be really useful too.

    Aaron Parecki
    I still haven't imported my photos from before 2014, so I have a vested interest in this solution too! It's just tricky to think through how this would actually work well from the user's perspective.
