Two year mark at AWS today. Been a wild and mostly fun ride.

URL Patterns is now a proper standard: https://blog.whatwg.org/2023/10. It's maintained by the WHATWG: https://urlpattern.spec.whatwg.org/. For example, the pathname pattern `/blog/:title` will match `/blog/hello-world` but not `/blog/2012/02`. If you've worked with HTTP frameworks like Express.js in Node.js, this will look very familiar.

"You can’t be autistic - you can make eye contact!” Being autistic doesn’t mean I can’t *make* eye contact, rather that eye contact can be painful and overstimulating for me. Yet, I make it because I have to. If I didn’t, many would be hurt/angry, and I’d face further ostracism. Thanks for your pointless comment anyway from someone that clearly doesn't know what you're talking about. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic

I feel like one of my bougiest traits is that I learnt to use an espresso machine by working at a tech company and not from working in hospitality

For the last six months or so I've been obsessed with POSSE, a decade-old idea about how to mix the best of blogging and social media. For a story and for The Vergecast, I tried to figure out how POSSE could work — and why it might not https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/23/23928550/posse-posting-activitypub-standard-twitter-tumblr-mastodon

The reason I think we should stop DST is because I don't think it's right to give the govt an interest free loan on our daylight

I'm a long-time Linux user, and I've started using Windows 11 for work and… It's basically fine? There are no adverts in it that I can see. Multi-monitor support works. Lots of the deeper settings still retain their Win98 look & feel. Window snapping isn't quite as advanced as Wayland, but quite acceptable. About the worst thing I can say is that it moans my 40W USB-C charger isn't powerful enough. But it charges well enough. Doesn't seem remarkably different from XP TBH.

It's like twice a year I stop to really reassess what and why I'm working on my side projects that I'd hope help push the envelope on how to engage people on the Internet. My fear of making something that exacerbates harm is why I only talk about it - and that's been set in place after working at Lyft (seriously, I don't understand how people work at companies that have way too much information on people and not freak out!)

How do I know my children’s Halloween candy isn’t Trans

The kiddo's doing a research project for school and yesterday I was telling her to ignore the Google snippet summary thing and look on Wikipedia instead. Follow the links and check the citations, obv, but it's the place to go to get a first general overview of the topic. "Trust Wikipedia, not Google". The internet's changed a bit, hasn't it?

I love how I am working on something mostly unrelated but I’ve run into the desire to rant about the transition from OpenAPI 2 to 3 😂 I can never escape

That _one_ parent who keeps insisting we hold a high school reunion. There are a number of classmates I quite like and stay in touch with, but the last thing I want to do is volunteer my time to convene, or attend, an event that dredges up the many traumas I've spent the last 20 years recovering from.

Intro After attending Techmids I decided to revisit setting up my own blog, because at the end of the day its documentation. Doing it at work then thinking over how to improve is a daily part of our craft. This thought was due to a talk by [Jamie Tanna](https://www.jvt.me/] on his Open Source project Dependency Management Data. Which tangentially led me to his blog and the indieweb movement of taking back control of your content.

Intro Attended Tech Mids today met Julian and Colin. I watched the following conference talks Thinking about inclusion with Molly Quantifying your reliance on Open Source Software Rethinking Content Modelling for Unforgettable User Experiences Fantastic SDKs, and how to build them Essential Insights into API-first Tooling Junior Developer to CTO - battle-hardened principles to live by In an API is published and not one is told, does it have value?

This is just another reminder to me that when some people start banging the “free speech” drum, you’re only really free to say sentiments preapproved by the establishment. It’s also easily observed that the people who *say* facts don’t care about feelings consistently and ruthlessly prioritise their discomfort (read: feelings) and use that as feeble justification to reject the facts. Some of you wonder why people like myself couldn’t see you as anything other than a bad-faith actor you present yourselves to be.

So… let me get this straight: Paddy Cosgrave – co-founder & chief executive officer of Web Summit, the largest tech conference in Europe –*correctly* called Israel’s war crimes “war crimes,” originally condemned Hamas’ attack while *correctly* insisting this doesn’t give Israel carte blanche to “break international law,” and everyone from Intel to Siemens is pulling out of the event in response? Listen… you can’t tell me there isn’t a rather coercive and corrupt double standard here.

I know people are mad with Hamas and correct me if I'm wrong but haven't the Israeli government "topped" Hamas in carnage now? Like they were throwing phosphorus in the air on people!
