"An unknown IP address had replayed the exact same HTTP request just 10 seconds later.

"Wow, that’s seriously weird," I thought. Somewhere, between my home network and the AWS box, someone had intercepted and replayed my HTTP traffic. This traffic should not be accessible. There is no intermediary between these two systems who should be seeing this. My immediate thought was that my computer had been hacked..."

Four generations of my family have, like many others, voluntarily stepped forward and taken the Oath: to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign & domestic.

this is a serious Oath, with no "unless it is unpopular or inconvenient or I do not like who was elected" clauses. there is no "sell by date" for this Oath.

let nobody who has taken the Oath forget: it is to the Constitution, not to a Person nor to a Party.

Happy 249th Birthday to the United States Army, born as the Continental Army on this date in 1775.

"...the oldest branch of the U.S. military... has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775... After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on 3 June 1784 to replace the disbanded Continental Army."

Today’s joke I couldn’t make on Twitter:

JavaScript is kind of like cocaine.

The more lines you do, the more confident and simultaneously insufferable you become, and the worse your performance issues will be.

I'm sitting with @andreu at Igalia, trying to find when the media attribute first appeared in #HTML. I'm fairly sure it pre-dates #CSS media queries, but by how much? Was it there from the start?

It seems like you (Mastodon) would be the best person to ask.

The worst thing about having a brain that tortures you is being utterly unable to explain to anyone else why you seem to willingly put yourself through such misery, when it appears you could simply walk away any time you wanted to.

It's *almost* like the pace of progress in the web is fundamentally gated by the staffing levels of the slowest, least-responsive popular browser?

And maybe we don't need to accept that trillion dollar companies are are skimming 95% profit margins from browsers? There might even be something better we could do with all that cash?

It's a theory, anyway.

You, most likely a reasonable and sane person, would likely ask, "wait—you deleted ALL your data!? For a game you've put over 100 hours into? OMG why? Why didn't you just stop playing that challenge? Or stop playing the game?"

Because my brain does not let me do that. I wish it did.

I just deleted all my save data for Balatro, because I've been compulsively spending all my time on its final challenge, for weeks on end, waiting for the perfect lucky run, and I finally decided I was never going to stop making myself miserable until I just didn't have the option anymore.

Ask me anything about the inexplicable way my broken brain fails to work

In 2022, Google settled a class action lawsuit for systematically underpaying 15,500 female employees.

It’s now Apple’s turn in the hot seat as they’ve been hit with a lawsuit for systematically underpaying 12,000 female employees.

Apple bases pay on people’s previous salaries or pay expectations which creates a systemic disparity as women tend to have lower values for these than men.

I said we’d move heaven and earth to reopen the Port of Baltimore following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge.

I can easily imagine people, just at as brilliant as modern humans stumbling along for 100,000 years. You only get the tech your family knows— you are a rare endangered animal and very hungry and preoccupied with staying warm, finding food— other people from other groups are a mixed bag and huge risk. It must have been a slog.
