Scripting News: Tuesday, November 28, 2023

I spent today working on the plumbing of FeedLand-on-Automattic. Hopefully tomorrow I will get to work on more user-facing features. #
A braintrust query for implementors of rssCloud. Do you ping only when an item is created, or every time it changes? #
Posted on Threads: "Replies are almost always spam, they aren't talking to the author (though technically they are), rather they are talking over the author's head, trying to reach the people who read the author's post. If this is what's really going on, surely we can come up with a more realistic structure/UI that doesn't even involve the author." #

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 Meanwhile the Repubs are getting ahead of themselves. Bannon said something that he should be arrested for. I'm sure it's horribly illegal to threaten people the way he did, and he did it in public. # I caught a bit of the last Wheel of Fortune . The three players were celebs: Vanna White, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik. What was remarkable was how super-human Jennings is. He could solve the puzzle with almost no information.

So if you think the old man is being silly and vain, well, he's being a lot smarter than you are, and btw, paying a huge price. If you live to be 81, I bet the last thing you want to do, after the life he's had, is to be in this position. We should get behind him, and tell him so, let him know we don't want anyone else, and we
