Ontario has over 600 waterfalls to admire. Although Niagara is the most spectacular, there are others that are also really nice. Here's Terrace Falls in Short Hills Provincial Park. Maybe I was just lucky, but when I went, there was no one else there... which was a huge advantage over Niagara.

Same energy.

I'm still really sad over the death of EdgeHTML. It was the best browser engine I've ever used, and I wish they at least open sourced it when they abandoned it so the community could continue maintaining it (and port it to Linux)

Alphabet really needs to get antitrusted. They make one of two fully-featured browser engines, which is the one almost everyone uses, while also being the target of 21% of Internet traffic. So frustrating.

@mangeurdenuage @pie Unironically if you don't release source code after discontinuation, you should have a 50/50 shot of waking up with a hammer lodged so deeply up your arse that your larynx is considering a career as a carpenter.

The world's oldest tree is a Great Basin bristlecone pine, growing in the Inyo National Forest in California. It is 4854 years old.

This tree germinated while the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt was flourishing, and predates most of written human history. It's older than the Olmec civilisation, older than the first Chinese writing, older than Stonehenge. By the time Sappho was writing her poems, it was already ancient.

AP rant 

@bonifartius I know (via Apache Software Foundation) Roy T Fielding, and he wrote rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1945 basically by himself.

I met him a couple of times, and he told the story; "Oh, this web thing is cool... 35 sites and I read it all. A month later there was 200 sites. This is getting awfully popular, I think we need a formal specification."

He must be one of a very small number of people who has at one time "Read ALL content on the world wide web"

AP rant 

@bonifartius Overly complex standards are typically a sign of "design by committee" where everyone has their own pet peeve that "must" be in there.

AP rant 

activity pub is not only what happens when you let OOP people design a protocol. no the OOP try as hard as possible to make things as complicated as possible. kinda like the ITU standards, X.500 n stuff. utterly deranged.

i did ldap related things for a while which is a reduced version of X.500 and that gave me the same vibes as AP. everything reinvented from basic principles. beautiful contraptions with their own lingo and everything.

it's like if you have a box full of ultra special lego parts. they are beautiful in their right place, but without their set and the manual they are absolutely shit.

everyone does things a tad different though - the protocol is so complicated, it can't really be implemented.

to add insult to injury, the "normative" thing isn't a machine readable version, but a fucking giant free form web page. it honestly is a wonder that there is more than one implementation, and that those can speak to each other.

my favorite feature of the modern web: people hated xml, used json and then reinvented xml tooling, bad.

both aren't great but well done xml is really nice to use. json not so much.

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.

This was a clue and we just didn't listen.

not sure about their quality though. it uses codegen which is nice, but the generate code is total madness consisting of many many interfaces it seems. i can understand why, but it's totally ugly.
