…I’ve also seen it as “…jumped over the lazy dogs,” which both solves the s problem and implies some impressive jumping skills for the fox.

This toot brought to you by trying to figure out just how many songs on a Bonnie Tyler compilation were written by Jim Steinman.
I was just wondering about this the other day. New Horizons has taken its first images of its next target (after the amazing Pluto flyby a few years ago), Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69. It’ll reach the object in January.

@jaycie @anthracite I’ve manually created a slow lane column by using lists. It’s a pain to set up, but it’s at least doable.
Apparently, Lego mini figures were relatively new when I had them as a kid.

TFW you’re super-thirsty because you can’t bring yourself to go refill your water, only to discover when you finally do that it wasn’t empty in the first place.

@nolan I started college in 1994, and I was super-impressed by the pages I found “on Mosaic” in the computer lab, including this cool movie database thing…
Discovering I could use Lynx over a dial-up terminal was the first game-changer. Getting an actual dial-up PPP connection with a PC version of Netscape changed everything.
But yeah, I can attest to “on Mosaic” being a thing back then.

@kemonine I started w/usenet & mailing lists, then web forums. Launched a blog. Joined friends at LiveJournal. Picked up Twitter early on, followed LJ friends to FB.
Dabbled in MySpace, Google Buzz & Plus, & Tumblr. I’m technically still on G+ & Tumblr, but then I’m technically still on FB.
Quit comics forums when I realized they were making me angry all the time. Drastically reduced FB & Twitter over the last couple of years.
Mastodon feels like early Twitter, LJ & Geocities: optimistic.
My preference is to store all UTC & use JavaScript to calculate the current offset
Response to @gcupc’s request for opinions: timezones in web apps, geolocation by IP address
My preference is to store all UTC & use JavaScript to calculate the current offset from the client’s clock, and not worry about which time zone since they may move.
Secondary preference is to calculate using jstz and allow them to override.
But given these design choices, I’d say go with UTC default & allow them to set it manually.

I do think the push for HTTPS is the way to go, but as this article points out, it’s not without cost – especially for those with limited bandwidth, high latency & high packet loss, like rural users on satellite internet who can no longer cache locally.

But it does mean we need to find another solution for spotty connections (you can’t change the speed of light!) that *does* work with HTTPS.

Kiddo’s been wanting to learn programming, with the ultimate goal of modding Minecraft. We’ve done some Ruby, but he’s impatient, so last night I we started Java with a simple program that repeats a println X times.
He wanted to pass it the integer limit.
After a few minutes, I suggested we watch a movie & check back later.
After dinner, he decided to stop it & we timed some shorter runs.
I think he has a better understanding of scale now!

I remember an old Windows ping tool that animated two stick figures, one saying “Hey!” whenever a ping went out and “What?” whenever one came back.

Whenever waves of new users arrive, there’s always a fine line to walk between welcoming them and helping them learn about Mastodon…and posting normally so they don’t look at the timeline and say, “WTF, all Mastodon ever talks about is Mastodon. I’m outta here.”

In response to a comment about Twitter “Likes” showing up in followers’ timelines.
@JordiGH @jskellogg Yeah, it’s sort of a semi-boost. It doesn’t appear on the main tab of your profile with your tweets & retweets, but there’s a chance it’ll show up to your followers as they view their timelines as “So-and-so liked ____” if they’re using the website or official clients.

Because this year wasn’t weird enough already, the upcoming Christmas special from DC #Comics is the “DC Nuclear Winter Special,” featuring post-apocalyptic holiday tales. 😕
I’ve got an old “Weird Al” song running through my head now.
And a need for an emoji based on a certain Jackie Chan meme.

FFS, it was literally *yesterday*.
I think I’d use the site more *without* the constant begging to come back.
