To my friends who are despairing about the election, the /r/punk subreddit is having a moment.

@evan You ask about windows, but you really should ask about tabs...

I typically have... 20-50 open.

My software "hot take" that I've had for many years (which makes it a well seasoned, rich tasting hot take broth):

When dealing with money, using floats is a bug. All the time.

I would say "come at me bro" but that's toxically gendered, aggressive, and would generate responses I'm looking for. But it's kind of energy I get when I see bugs related to floating point and money.

XRDS came out of the #XRI OASIS Technical Committee that I was contributor and co-chair of (XRI long lost in the dustbin of open standards proposals).

I am deeply amused that of all the effort a bunch of put into XRI, the only thing that ever got picked up and adapted/used was a relatively simple XML format for describing endpoints and doing "xri name resolution".

BTW, does anyone know if Drummond Reed has entered the Mastodon?

@chrismessina @evan @lanodan @erincandescent I mean, hashtags were a good start ;)

Has anyone started using #Masstodon to post random pictures of Massachusetts?

I'm not necessarily encouraging, just ya know, asking ;)

I described the #asstodon phenomenon #mastodon to my wife, and I might have just finally convinced her to create a Mastodon account somewhere and check it out...
