i wonder how rotted one’s brain needs to become to genuinely believe that over 10% of adults, and 23% of young adults, at one point identified as trans.

My adoptive dad was guilty of DWB, and he would have more interactions with the traffic police every year than I’ve had my entire life.

If you’ve ever ridden with someone who follows every single traffic rule, it is agonizing, but that’s him.

One of my favorite things about the Twin Cities is that every single stadium -- NFL, MLB, AAA MLB, NBA, CFB, NHL, MLS -- are in the middle of the cities, all serviced by a single rail line.

and since they’re already living there, maybe we should pay them in special company dollars that they can use to spend at the company stores?

this is still agonizingly painful to me, Twitter had the _best_ culture of any place I've ever worked at.

there were definitely some outliers (cough cough former Periscope team) but I've never seen a tech employer with a culture like that, either before or after.

I live next to a freeway, I-94 in particular, because that location is one of the very few where I can walk to most anything without driving. It’s genuinely diabolical to design a city this way.

(I have multiple air purifiers running into my house as a result.)

yes there are common feeds that are based on things that your followers like. but you can have systems where the algorithm knows who liked a thing but anyone but the person who posted it does not.

(also there’s a button directly next to it, the retweet button, that is expressly designed for publicly supporting a thing)

as someone who used to work at twitter and who spent the last half-decade working with T&S teams, this whole aaron thing (where the bluesky head of trust liked a porn scam post) almost stretches incredulity.

imagine designing a social media network in the 2020’s with public likes.

was asked a really interesting question in an interview yesterday: given a budget, which areas of security spending produce the greatest and worst (or negative) ROI?

my answer:

positive: SSO/OAuth, hardware keys

worst: DAST, DLP, honorable mention to poorly configured IDS’s

what’s your answer?

there's a pretty solid trans / non-binary / GNC discord, if they fall under that.

blame the way that money works on the internet, sadly there isn’t any of it to be found in short technical blog posts.

thanks for the kind words! i love any article where i get a chance to hand-draw doodles.

this one was a question a developer at my company asked me and my answer was long enough to turn into a blog post. :)

Your article is SO GOOD, I can't believe I hadn't seen it before.

It's very fun to see how some things (e.g. cookie overwriting) have been solved, but despite all that time so much behavior has continued to be left undefined.

Compared to modern web specs, it is downright embarrassing.
