Today in 1932, 92 years ago: Bremen crosses the Atlantic Ocean in 4 days and 17 hours, achieving the "blue ribbon".
My son got my old phone for emergencies when he does after school activities. He is off today and is helpfully sending me emails 're - BOFA'
Convinced the boss to let us dump Atlassian because their product really is a gigantic pile of shite.

It beats listening to my HVAC unit humming, or my colleague tapping her foot.
The bigger problem is if I start to tune into it, I start mentally exploring and inhabiting the world, and not doing any work.
These things don't usually work for me but I have had this on for about an hour.

Today's dumbest take: "XML is for data exchange, JSON is for serialization in APIs, and YAML is for configuration"
No; those are all serialization formats with different trade-offs. XML has a formal spec and allows you to have a very detailed schema definition and transform data via a stylesheet transform; this is extremely powerful.
JSON was created to make it faster for JavaScript to pass serialized objects around; it's "programmer friendly" in that it's familiar to anyone who has built a JavaScript object. It's popular for "API with ReSTful verbs" type projects, but it's not required or particularly well-suited -- it's main advantage is that it's fast to parse in JavaScript. It has only rudimentary schema definition.
YAML exists to try to make a simplified hierarchical data structure that's more human-friendly than other markup/serialization formats (which is why it's enticing for config files, even though that's actually a terrible use for it).

I do think it is an important time of year to remind people that Tornados are attracked to plastic pink flamingos.
Just say no to them

I am a web designer in my twenties. I’m wondering why the industry is designing for one browser, and for a handful of screen resolutions.

Evening walk with my dog. Clear as a bell, no wind. Some bite in the air but otherwise tolerable. 1745 and not dark yet. Spring is coming.
