Finally installed self-hosted Wallabag as a read-it-later replacement for Pocket (RIP). It’s excellent and the install is just a Docker container. What a life upgrade over at reader.schmud.de.

Not sure if this clarifies or confuses me on HTTP codes. Therefore, probably the best instruction manual for this technology.
"The market took the best of OOP: encapsulation and messaging. The Cloud Native world remarketed them as microservices, exchanging JSON messages over HTTP. Kubernetes is the new OO app runtime.
The tradeoff? Latency is worse than using Objective-C’s objc_msgSend() or COM+ IDispatch, but now we can apply Conway’s law and divide our teams conveniently: so that they only communicate using JSON messages on the cluster and with nerf guns on the open office floor plan."
Even though Marketing buzzwords might have an effect akin to Kryptonite against our readers, we're going to use the famous Gartner's Five-Step Hype Cycle to take a closer look at the practice of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and its various ups and downs in the past 50 years. Remembering that one of the core tenets of this magazine is to make the impossible dialogue possible, the framework provided by Gartner fits this task perfectly well.
"The result is an emerging aspirational class who have everything except the thing they actually want: the ability to personally press the button and bomb a foreign country. Turchin identifies these people as counter-elites — people wealthy enough to expect actual power, have hit the limits of capital's affordances, and are furious enough the denial that they now wish to burn it all down."

ANSI artwork sales - one stop in the long-running effort to make a living off of digital art.
"Around the same time, Lora Ruffner decided to see if she could turn her artistic talent into a business."

That one time when Ulay stole a Carl Spitzweg from the Neue Nationalgallerie so he could use it as a backdrop of a family portrait. The story of the heist and the race to the Turkish family's house in Kreuzberg is great.

"But the exhibition also tells the story of a painter who, though remote from our own era, remains eminently relatable. Born into humble circumstances, Rousseau’s career as an artist was not laid out for him in advance. He came late to painting and afterward struggled constantly with poverty, debt, and the loss of those closest to him."
This Rousseau exhibit looks like a great reason to get to Philadelphia. https://4columns.org/camhi-leslie/henri-rousseau
Now that the EU has put their foot down on companies that hold personal data hostage to manipulate market incentives, we have economists worrying about the costs to "innovation."
Here they specifically proffer the absurd idea that megacorps will not have incentives to create 'high-quality data' and 'innovate' if they cannot lock people in. This corporate zombie language is so absurd on its face that it can only exist in a world where it is subsidized by these same corps. https://mailchi.mp/fc79ee800e35/putting-a-price-on-portability?e=4a6a4021a0
