    😱 Safe travels. No lightning storms expected here until next week, but it will be very hot starting mid-week!
    Aaron Parecki
    Thanks! As long as it's not hot *and* muggy I don't mind

    yeah so this is why we haven't been able to take off yet ✈️🌩 ⚡️
    Aaron Parecki
    Update: pretty much all @United flights from Newark tonight were cancelled.

    I booked a new flight from LaGuardia to Boston to Montreal leaving at 6am tomorrow morning. With any luck I'll arrive just in time for the OAuth meeting!

    Crossing my fingers for no more storms tomorrow!

    oh no, I may have spoken too soon. Sat on the runway for an hour and we're returning to the gate. The lightning is keeping planes on the ground here.

    Shoutout to the very nice @United agent who spent an hour on the phone with me to bump me to this earlier flight and got me a ticket while it was boarding. Now departing 30m later than the original Air Canada flight, but it was then completely cancelled so I guess that's a win.

    I also think the hotel key isn't as useful for ocaps as a car key, because people often think of a hotel key as being associated with your identity, and a car key isn't.
    Aaron Parecki
    ..but a hotel key explicitly isn't associated with your identity, which is why the analogy works! You know how you get multiple keys when you check in, and it's expected that any guest of the room can use them?

    i have been complaining about this for years wrt oauth! it's how Iearned about valet keys. Maybe they're totally normal to some, but it smells of privilege somehow...
    Aaron Parecki
    I never liked the valet key analogy, especially as someone who only briefly owned a 1985 Volvo and now owns 0 cars. I use a hotel key analogy in my talks, which I think is more relatable, but I am still looking for an analogy that doesn't require as much privilege to relate to.

    @uint8_t I take some shortcuts in service of a system that's more manageable to me:

    * No hierarchy, just top-level folders to group similar photos (e.g. trips, events, photoshoots)
    * ISO-8601 date prefix on folders
    * Multi-day events just get grouped under one day, don't overthink it
    * Catch-all month folders for misc photos
    * Photos get uploaded from my phone to an "Inbox" on my Synology NAS automatically (graph counts items in the Inbox)
    * Periodically sort things (graph go down??)

    Aaron Parecki
    Out of curiosity, do you treat photos from your phone and photos from a real camera or real photo shoot differently?

    Right now I have a organization system similar to yours for my DSLR photos, but all my phone photos go to Flickr in a gigantic unsorted pile. I hadn't really considered combining them, but the system you described here seems like it might work for both my kinds of photos.

    I set up a graph to track how many unsorted photos my wife and I have. Can't for the life of me figure out how to get a right Y axis to graph the two lines at their own scale. http://i.abackstrom.com/share/rrd/ #rrdtool

    Aaron Parecki
    That's awesome! I use rrdtool via Munin as a quick and dirty way to graph random stuff all the time. Still haven't found anything better.

    Once I finally figure out a good solution for archiving my photos I am definitely going to make a graph like this!.

    Hi Aaron, quick question regarding OAuth flows. In the developer track at the London Okta forum, it seemed that a web SPA should use Auth Code with PKCE (and generally avoid using implicit flow)? However the Okta documentation seem to suggest otherwise? Not sure how to proceed?
    Aaron Parecki
    The docs and libraries are still in the process of being updated, but you can find some sample code here: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/05/01/is-the-oauth-implicit-flow-dead

    Micro Frontends

    July 19th, 2019

    Chris succinctly describes the multiple-iframes-with-multiple-codebases approach to web development, AKA “micro frontends”:

    The idea really is that you might build a React app and I build a Vue app and we’ll slap ‘em together on the same page. I definitely come from an era where we laughed-then-winced when we found sites that used multiple versions of jQuery on the same page, plus one thing that loaded all of MooTools and Prototype thrown on there seemingly by accident. We winced because that was a bucket full of JavaScript, mostly duplicated for no reason, causing bugs and slowing down the page. This doesn’t seem all that much different.

    this is a joke right? are people actually doing this?

    Electric scooters! Who has opinions on 'em?

    I'm researching the small-wheeled sort being rolled out by Lime and other firms.

    I want to hear from folks in cities where they've been deployed. What's it like? Hate it, love it, neutral?
    Aaron Parecki
    I don't use them where I live, I ride my bike instead, but they are super convenient when I'm traveling! Less overhead than renting a bike when I'm out!

    They replaced the black bean burger with the Beyond Burger which I guess is good if you want a meat substitute but bad if you're me and you want a black bean burger.

    The perception that PHP is still a bad language.

    The inconsistency of standard function parameters.

    The lack of generics.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
