    Ok so I enjoy this joke a lot too, but the actual history behind this is a bit more complicated and honestly illuminating in its wackiness.

    Let's talk about Roman calendars!

    So why do the 'number months' (Sept-Dec) not correspond to their numbers (7-10)? 1/

    Huh. By not looking at or replying to my Twitter notifications, I really am happier & more productive.

    Am I curious? Sure. But do I really want to see whatever Mush fans are yelling at me about? 🫣

    I made ChatGPT write the Laws of Cuteness

    > The first law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be transferred or converted from one form to another.

    > The second law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat will always tend towards maximum cuteness.

    > The third law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat approaches maximum cuteness as the cat's environment approaches absolute adorableness.

    > The zeroth law of cuteness states that if two cats are in cuteness equilibrium with a third cat, they are also in cuteness equilibrium with each other.

    Incredibly handy - I love my copy, and the PDF is a fantastic one stop shop to have ALL the relevant RFCs with you all the time, including when your intercontinental flight has no internet (looking at you @KoreanAir 😛) bravo @aaronpk

    UX team was so annoyed about the RFC8252’s recommendation thing got a little heated. I think after reviewing potential risks they will follow suit, hopefully.
    I’m presenting them your book as a good will sign. It might be seen as provocation, though 😬

    Ah yes, classic. I'm curious if this is a first party or third party use case. We can take this to dms jf you want

    It was rather an argument with a customer, actually. Yet settled with a morning coffee, thankfully.

    Oh do tell! If anything was unclear or ambiguous, I would love to know! I'm in the middle of updating that with the OAuth 2.1 draft so now is the time to fix it!

    Startup idea: this but for standards!!

    Each company publishes their opinion on a technical standard and the machine generates the spec based on the consensus!!!

    Follow me for more startup ideas!

    Remember folks, "token exchange" does *not* mean "let me exchange a customer ID for a token"!

    Good thread on how remotely connected Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, and Acura cars were all able to be remotely controlled knowing only the VIN.

    It returned "200 OK" and returned a bearer token! This was exciting, we were generating some token and it was indexing the arbitrary VIN as the identifier.

    To make sure this wasn't related to our session JWT, we completely dropped the Authorization parameter and it still worked!

    You might have noticed you can't send NFTs on Coinbase Wallet iOS anymore. This is because Apple blocked our last app release until we disabled the feature. 🧵

    OK so @OpenAI's new #ChatGPT can basically just generate #AIart prompts. I asked a one-line question, and typed the answers verbatim straight into MidJourney and boom. Times are getting weird...🤯

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.
