On this day ten years ago, we lost our innocence as the former single page HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC2616) "exploded" into six separate new documents (RFC7230 and family). We could then no longer pretend HTTP was a simple protocol.

In June 2022, it was again updated:. "RFC 9110 and family". The spec is now split up into five main documents: semantics, caching and separate specs for each version: 1.1, 2, 3.

Those five documents hold 143,000 words combined. HTTP is not easy.

So here's my plan. Someone mention to Trump that he is now prohibited from owning firearms. Due to his Oppositional Defiant Disorder he will immediately stage a press event at a gun shop where he buys one. Then charge him with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1). Although I think there's currently a circuit split over whether this applies to non-violent felons, so Trump could appeal to SCOTUS.

vague memory of someone else’s debugging story from i can’t remember where … :

they are called to an office which is complaining that the wifi stops working for two hours twice a day

this office is in portsmouth so it’s fairly obvious that the timing is related to the tides

but what on earth? how can the wifi be sensitive to the tides?!

If riding an ebike is "cheating" compared to other exercise, why do my ebike rides have such a profound effect on my happiness and physical well-being? Why do I have measurably better health and get dramatically more minutes of activity compared to when I was riding a non-electric bike? Why can't I find a single downside to this form of exercise other than cost?

If it walks like exercise and quacks like exercise, maybe just call it exercise and leave off the judgment.

If you thought you were just going to drill some holes in some buckets and have yourself a worm composting setup, no you didn't.

One of my smoke alarms went off at 5am. I got up and checked around, no smoke smell and the other alarm was chill. There's a button to stop the alarm but it would start up again in a minute. I was on the verge of flipping the other switch that permanently disables it when it stopped. Guess it sensed my murderous intent.

Do not buy Google's Pixel Charging Stand. It costs $79, it's heavy and awkwardly shaped, but most importantly it's unreliable. Half the time you'll come back to an uncharged phone because the stand decided to nope out. Wireless charging is standardized, any phone and charger that conforms to the Qi standard will interoperate and these days they all conform. Google can't lock you in! Buy a standard lay-flat charger, just pick one that looks nice. It'll work every time and cost you around $15.

@rollovereasy Good morning!

Has anyone written about how textual generative AI feels strangely close to toxic masculinity in some respects? The absolute confidence in everything stated, the lack of understanding of the consequences of getting that confidence wrong for important questions, the semi-gaslighty feeling when it “corrects” itself when you call it out on something. It so often feels like talking to someone one would despise and avoid in “real life.” I’m curious if anyone did some writing on this.
