@bcantrill love this. Keep up the work. When I listen to these, I feel inspired and energized to slay more bugs, fix infrastructure, and keep working on difficult problems.

Many years ago, I made two decisions about my public speaking: that all my talks would be recorded and publicly available -- and that I wouldn't give the same talk twice. The result has been a wide variety of talks; to help folks navigate them all, I collected them -- and have kept the list updated ever since.

I mention this, because inspired by the kind words of @nnungest, @herrbischoff, and @troglobit, I just updated the list for 2023:

In summary and in conclusion: no, really, you don't need an SPA and you *absolutely* don't need React.

Retail theft went down and the national retailers federation had to admit 5% not 50% of theft was from criminal gangs.

This perf.now() talk is an out-of-body experience for me; like watching a smarter, less shouty version of yourself outline the last 5+ years of your life, and the incredible pain of the teams you've worked with, but in an english accent:

I want to say a bit more about the @dnalounge fundraiser. (TLDR: help them)

When I think about my time there (mostly for hacker cons), I think about the fact that the staff were helpful and chill and were good with us as a community. When I contrast that to how we're treated in Vegas — especially in the early days of Defcon — the contrast couldn't be larger.

Accepting, helpful spaces like that don't exist by accident. They don't exist if we don't create them and support them. They get pushed out by the fancy spaces with hot staff and fake smiles that are better at separating rich people from their money.

So if you want spaces like that to exist, you can either support the ones that are here today, or you can try to build your own.

Building these things is crazy hard. Read JWZ's blog ... about air conditioners, about fights outside and people attacking his staff ...

Having one survive for two decades is even harder

So if you can afford it, you should help them out.

Back in the early naughties, some of us in the then-miniscule JavaScript community longed for a day when JS would be taken seriously. We dreamed of a world where the good user-centric design movement and progressive-enhancement ethos would be augmented with some solid engineering discipline.

Be careful what you wish for, y'all.

love this thread, and the Wikipedia quote:

——- snip ——-
History
fsck first appeared in 4.0BSD of 1980. It turned into its modern wrapper form in NetBSD 1.3 (1998). fsck is not defined by any extant standard,[2] but the primitive non-wrapper form is present in the 1995 draft Systems Management: File System and Scheduling Utilities (FSSU) from X/Open.[8]

As an expletive
The severity of file system corruption led to the terms "fsck" and "fscked" becoming used among Unix system administrators as a minced oath for "fuck" and "fucked".[9] It is unclear whether this usage was cause or effect, as a report from a question and answer session at USENIX 1998 claims that "fsck" originally had a different name:

Dennis Ritchie: "So fsck was originally called something else"
Question: "What was it called?"
Dennis Ritchie: "Well, the second letter was different"

I've told the story of how I got into #EmergencyPrep... Local govt held a community meeting about preparing for a 9.0+ #subduction zone #earthquake hitting the #PNW. Power co, water co, etc all gave useful advice.

Then the fire chief stood up there and said

Shock from the audience...

I've started the process of migrating over to Proton for email and have just started scratching the surface on the number of services that don't allow users to update their email address without contacting customer service.

In many cases this is resulting in me just canceling the service or deleting the account, but in all cases it's creating a massive waste of time for customer service and myself.

Email addresses and phone numbers are not immutable identifiers for users.
