"web-features" (the thing that powers Baseline) is an awesome open-source project that, with links to other data sources, has the potential of unlocking so many use cases. We're only scratching the surface.
I'm currently mapping web-features to MDN pages. Want to help complete the coverage? See this issue: https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features-explorer/issues/32

There's a good blog post from @april about cookie parsing: https://grayduck.mn/2024/11/21/handling-cookies-is-a-minefield/
And I guess it's time to dust off my broader, 2010 rant about the same: https://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2010/10/http-cookies-or-how-not-to-design.html
Some things have improved, but cookies are still a bit of a design fail.

Since you all really like Onychophora, here's a Peripatoides - another of NZ's beautiful endemic velvet worms.
Unlike the previous post, these little critters give live birth, but that's not the strangest thing about their reproduction. During mating, males deposit sperm packages anywhere onto the skin of the female, which then DISSOLVE HOLES in her skin and travel throughout her body. This process has a name as unromantic as the act itself: 'dermal-haemocoelic sperm transfer'.
And they say romance is dead.

I made my own Forth a while back. Like most others, it's just a toy and my personal plaything. But I'd like to think it has some merits to make it interesting.

Your art history post for today: by Georges Garen (1854-1913), "Embrasement de la Tour Eiffel," original illustration for the lithograph produced for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris, watercolor and gouach on paper mounted to thicker paper stock, 520x330 mm (20 1/2x13 inches on 24 1/4x17 in), sheet, photo from Swann Galleries, Dec 15, 2022. #arthistory #Art
From Swann Galleries: “Garen's bold, colorful image of the Eiffel Tower, the centerpiece of the 1889 World's Fair, and its grand pavillions, alighting the night sky above the twinkling Seine beautifully portrayed the wonders of the world-famous spectacle. It was chosen as one of the representative images of the Exposition and this original painting was made into a mass-produced lithograph on one of the latest printing technologies…
The lithograph was immediately disseminated throughout Europe, enticing visitors to the Exposition and establishing Garen's image as its iconic face.”
