Almost there...
I really wish Mastodon reduces its 500 character limit to 280. It’s key if you want quality content on this kind of medium. Cut, cut, cut.

We are working on a Mastodon server for the #measure community at Measure Slack (https://join.measure.chat). We want to give you a safe place to join the discussions from, and you will have a rich Local timeline to keep you engaged.

More details will follow soon.

You can join if you are a member of Measure Slack.

Migration in Mastodon is easy, and we’ll guide you through the process. You‘ll be able to take with you your follows and followers but not your posts.

We're trying a new thing with Simmer: "Simmer Clips".

It's a series of short videos and blog posts around topics that emerge in our Simmer Community.

The format is similar to our course content.

Our first video & blog is up:

"How do I change the default table expiration in Google BigQuery?"

How Do I Change The Table Expiration In Google BigQuery? - Simmer

In this blog post, we'll take a look at how you can change the default table expiration and the table-specific expiration in Google BigQuery.

The way that #WebKit handles JavaScript-set #cookies has changed, potentially significantly.

First-party, JavaScript-set cookies will no longer have a maximum expiration limit of 7 days.

Instead, WebKit has converged all script-writable storage behavior, so that JS cookies (and localStorage etc.) are automatically deleted after *7 days of browser use* without user interaction (click, tap, key input) with the website.

Expiration Cap Removed From JavaScript Cookies In WebKit Browsers

WebKit has yet again changed how it handles first-party cookies, opting to delete all script-writable storage rather than modifying the expirations.

Did you know each #mastodon site is also a full mobile app? Just visit on your mobile browser and you can install the #pwa Honestly, I have never felt the need to install anything different as all the functionality is here.

I’m building a new series for Simmer where I simultaneously publish a YouTube video, a blog post, and a podcast on some topic that emerges from our Simmer Community discussions.

So now my time is occupied by trying to figure out how to create a YouTube thing, how to start a blog, and how to deliver a podcast. Learning is fun!

(Yes, I’ve published all three of these before but never at this scale or for a commercial brand)

I want you to remember... a few weeks ago... most people genuinely believed that this moron was going to save humanity from climate change by colonizing Mars and managing humans living in the harsh unforgiving environment of space.

He can't even manage humans in San Francisco.

#WebKit will start capping max expiration of first-party #cookies set in HTTP responses to 7 days when the response IP is significantly different from the main resource IP.

So, if you’re using a cloud service, for example, which you’ve mapped with A/AAAA DNS records to a subdomain of the main site, the cookies set by that service will be subject to 7-day expiration, too.

Here’s the commit in the WebKit repo:
