@PierreDeWulf The @openlibrary PWA is awesome! openlibrary.org

It’s been 10 years and I still don’t know a single person who uses a PWA on their phone. Great ideas, great execution, doesn’t matter. Adoption has its own weird kind of magic.

Introducing 🐦 Pattern Pigeon: A conversational assistant built with @googlecloud #DialogflowCX to teach software architecture design patterns! This was a lot of fun to create, and for a (probably) limited time you can even call it! 🔗 jameskerrane.com/projects/patte… 📞 (361) 360-5763

I’ve been researching @googlecloud #DialogflowCX to build a conversational agent, and while looking into community-favored licenses, I was surprised to see so many repositories using the Apache License 2.0 over my go-to MIT—so I’m switching it up! Excited to share more soon 🐦💬

Today, Georgia Tech is dispersing a third official mascot for the Institue — the Fightin' Pollen. This new identity will blanket campus, Atlanta, and the entire state of Georgia. 🤧 #SneezeEm #TogetherWeSniffle #WeAreAllFightinPollen | c.gatech.edu/4jcY5UQ Meet Paul Lenny — the first-ever Fightin' Pollen. He will stick with Buzz and drape himself on the Ramblin' Wreck this spring.  Additionally, a group of student engineers known as 'The Pollinators' has designed a mechanism that will release pollen mist into the crowd after a Georgia Tech score. As of today — across campus — we are all Fightin' Pollen!

“Turning off” this bill before consideration would squash the effort by @RepPettersen and @RepSaraJacobs to make voting easier for new parents. Speaker Johnson is going to extreme lengths to stop this resolution before hitting the floor. Urging the Committee to reconsider.

I’m back in DC with Sam to demand that Speaker Johnson hold a vote on our bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns. Speaker Johnson himself has voted remotely 39 times—but now he’s pulling every trick in the book to stop our resolution. New parents shouldn’t be blocked from doing their jobs just because they’re starting a family. We’re going to keep fighting until we get this done.

@GitUpApp It’s been fixed for the GitUp cask since Sep 13, 2022 when the cask was updated to point to the latest GitHub release, so no changes are needed github.com/Homebrew/homeb….

@JamesKerrane @watchtowrcyber @MacHomebrew Hmm, we've never maintained the Homebrew install flow and our updates now point to GitHub releases anyway. I'll have to investigate what the steps are to changing this, but if anyone wants to url it should now point to our latest GitHub release.

8 million requests, $400 later - we’re back. 🚀 We have demonstrated supply chain attacks that could have allowed us to trivially compromise critical infra. networks, including .gov, .mil, and more. This is real Attack Surface Management. labs.watchtowr.com/8-million-requ…

Without setting out to do so, Andrew Krapivin recently upended the common thinking around hash tables — one of the best-studied tools in computer science. Steve Nadis reports: quantamagazine.org/undergraduate-…
