How many years, parliamentary bills, and signatures did it take for women to get the vote in New Zealand 125 years ago? I made a five minute game to find out. https://t.co/MA2WvSbpKQ

@auchmill I broke the glass and the mesh was falling apart, but couldn't find anywhere local. Embarrassed to say I bought a plasticy one from Briscoes for $10 and stripped it for parts. Still feel guilty for that brand new plastic sitting in the landfill :/

I don't know if you all remember the "I Voted" sticker design contest for Ulster County that went viral and the internet all voted for this design but...it really did win, and they are using it for the current election: https://t.co/POAaLCEFC9

1/ There is some pretty substantial context about Twitter's 2023 revenue and advertisers that I think partly help explains why Musk is really losing it...

And it involves upfront ad sales. Let me explain...

@ruthbrarian lol, I remember having this argument back in the day. I guessed that eventually people would forget that URLs are different to URIs/IRIs and so would expect namespaces to resolve to something... sorry but I lost that argument, and here we are...

For those concerned about the flute: Music Division curators made sure it could be played without damage. This sort of thing is not all that unusual, in fact. Some of the Library's priceless instruments were donated with the stipulation that they remain functional & be played.

I don't understand why people love Apple so much when its software is a bully. I just want to pull down one document from my (non Apple) cloud and search for a word in it. A simple task in 2022. After 45 mins trying it still won't let me share the file with relevant apps #rant

@emilymbender lolz. It was this kind of over-hype that killed AI investment in the 1970s. This time around they have been careful to use more scoped terms like 'machine learning', but it looks like you can't teach an old media dog new tricks... no matter how many convolution layers you add :)

@TamasSanta @Grady_Booch @awscloud @Azure @googlecloud Totally - some frameworks just say "don't do these things", but the AWS framework also includes more generic things your organisation should do to support using the cloud. We're using those parts from AWS's to provide wrap-around services for using Azure, lol
