@shpuld something seems different about her in that end photo...

I remembered to check the modern #diversity guidance on accommodating people's names
https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names
before committing too far with a database schema that disrespects #HumanRights.
Now I can go to battle (again) to rip out the annoyingly persistent default person name `{'first_name', 'last_name'}` bullshit.
When are we going to have website frameworks drop that parochial crap, and set up our person model with `{'short_name', 'full_name'}` by default with no extra effort?

> If designing a form or database […] you should ask yourself whether you really need to have separate fields for given name and family name.
Yep, I've asked and answered that many times; the answer has universally bee “nope, we don't need that”.
(The last time, for me, that a database actually needed split given-name–surname schema, was more than a decade and a half ago.)
The app frameworks need to recognise this, urgently now if not ten years ago.
@hackers_gifs uh, Mr. The Plague...
@cwebber I never did get the newsletter.
@cwebber flash no longer supported 😥
@fribbledom sometimes the power goes out and then I turn it on again to bring it backup.
@fribbledom what's that fourth word in your post?
@veta I just use the progressive web app that's built-in. On my phone, in chrome, I clicked "add to home screen". It's great.
@thor@mstdn.social by having their music loud enough that you can hear, they have invited you.
@thor@mstdn.social maybe you should just stop by. Bring beer. Does it sound like just a personal thing, or like a bigger party?
This starts by explaining the simpler parts of NAT traversal, and then goes into the advanced problems and practical solutions. Really excellent article. Something for everyone
Great song, and also the earliest reference to mansplaining I've seen. It's right there in the first lines. Linda Ronstadt's version sounds great too.
@lain lobste.rs is cool, but do you have cra.bs?
@lain so surprised that a site with "upvoting" has proven to be democratic...
@ryan I love that Paris Hilton played herself in that movie. I found it very funny.
Is there a fediverse tool for tracking books, like Goodreads or thestorygraph?
@barrucadu wow, a book that talks about LambdaMOO! That was our jam back in High School, in the early 00s. It was one of my introductions to programming. I'm gonna have to check this out.
I was surprised to find a bit of life still in LambdaMOO when I had a bit of time back at the beginning of the pandemic.
Thanks.
@lanodan homemade beef jerky... https://www.foxvalleyfoodie.com/homemade-beef-jerky
I can recommend that recipe, although I always do it with a smoker.
