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?

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.
Shoulda called it On Buffalo Wings. #missedopportunities
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.
Is there a fediverse tool for tracking books, like Goodreads or thestorygraph?
The coverage I've seen in the US started out non-existent, or confused. The election was obviously rigged, there was never reason to suggest Tikhanovskaya lost. It has gotten only mildly better. The Economist has it right as usual.

Got em to click a link - they're using a Samsung Galaxy S20.
Now they want steam card numbers... Unfortunately I can't find a Steam card number that would cause Steam to flag the transaction as a scam...
One FB messenger account led to a phone number and another account. That phone number has led to a "send us all your personal info" conversation.
Got a scammer trying to tell me about PowerBall winnings. A fake grandma account has contacted me about this opportunity!
