I got one more joke from #ArrestedDevelopment.
"The Martha Complex" is a thing from christianity about being a good host.
Episode "Martha Complex" is full of Valentine's Day party hosting related cock-ups.
Needless to say that Valentine's Day is also a christian holiday.
Jokes within jokes within jokes. The best show ever made. All five seasons of it.
Surreal. You’ve well and truly lost the debate once you start praising Neville Chamberlain’s shameful appeasement
RT @derJamesJackson@twitter.com
You couldn't make it up.
Angela Merkel praises Neville Chamberlain(!) in a Spiegel interview, saying that she bought time for Ukraine by rejecting them for NATO membership at Bucharest 08 like Chamberlain bought time at Munich.

So, don't tell anybody, but we're going to announce Palm Pilot emulation in the browser at Internet Archive in the next week or so. I've still got to get descriptions in for the hundreds of apps that are uploaded, and add a few more classics. But if you want to help with that, or just let me know how it's going, ping me here.
But don't tell anybody! It's a secret!
I want to congratulate @DarthPutinKGB on bringing his robotic army to the lands of mastodon.
They are very covert and subtle[1]... Nobody will know they're here. 🤫
Right now, I feel so angry for Scotland ( and yes - I’d be devastated to be separated from them) but I completely COMPLETELY understand why they want to be severed from this selfish inward looking country of class -obsessed materialistic philistines ( present company excepted) and from Westminster.
And yes- it looks like this 👇
My coworker Lex has written up about the ground rules for incident reviews that we've established at Honeycomb. I'm super excited about these being in a shareable format now:

The flight of NASA's Artemis (purple) uses two very close encounters with the moon's gravity (green) to changes its trajectory to get back to the earth (blue.) Amazing.

I just want to put this out there: I'm a solo developer currently doing a vertical slice demo of an online multiplayer racing simulator.
I plan to keep the future team small. But I'm looking for potential partners to work with: physics programmers, audio engineers, env. artists and vehicle modelers. Especially if you've been a modder of AC, AMS1, rF2 or GPL. Or maybe has experience of working with vehicles and driving experiences in game.
I thought I was quite decent at #simracing, but every time I try out #RichardBurnsRally it's such a humbling experience!
My brain can barely keep up with the pace notes from @jonn
Here I manage to keep the car straight for 30 seconds, but I definitely crashed both before and after the clip :D
I've never implemented byte VMs until a little project I got to implement #webassembly, but I have a decent experience with binary processing.
That said, only now did I figure out that I can actually make deliberately wrong encoders and repalace correct bytes with marker bytes (like 0xFF) for debug in a hex editor!
D'oh.
For anyone who doesn't know, @evan was largely responsible for OStatus, which is what the fediverse used to run on. Then later ActivityPub was based on Evan's Pump API.
@evan *more than anyone* did the key design work that the fediverse is based on.
Evan is being too humble. I am making up for it. Evan is awesome.
Today for #projects, one from 2003 - getElementsBySelector()
This might be the most impactful single function I've ever written!
https://simonwillison.net/2003/Mar/25/getElementsBySelector/
It was inspired by conversations with Andrew Hayward https://twitter.com/arhayward about his getElementsByClassName() function: https://web.archive.org/web/20030402172546/http://blog.mooncalf.me.uk/archive/2003/03/25
I believe the first version of jQuery used my code (before quickly rewriting it with a better implementation!)
Browsers finally got querySelectorAll() around 2013
