The Albert Kahn Museum in France has just made available for download thousands of early autochrome photos from around the world: Kahn, a banker, had top French photographers travel the world documenting everyday aspects of global life which he believed would soon vanish as the world rapidly developed.
Such prescience.

*** EDIT: The collection can be searched here, & you will have to search in French!

I was in middle of JS digital signing of AWS headers the moment Covid fever hit me this week. I put computer down. Then all my feverish dreams were crypto hashing driven. Couldn't get into high school locker without MD5. My first wife left me cause of wrong signature. Finishing.
Fully vaccinated and after 2.5 years of evading, covid finally got to me this week -- it is no joke. Took me down for 3 solid days. Just now picking head up.

Had my first viral moment on Mastodon last night. Gained a few followers. Images are Mastodon vs Twitter.
Where do you feel invisible?
You know what is better than Mastodon or Twitter? Outside!! Bye!!
Three types of people in the Twitter to Mastodon migration 1) There is nobody there, 2) My people aren't there, and 3) Very few people are there! I can build whatever I want!
I feel like we've entered a technical diagram "renaissance". I see some tech influencers who only speak in diagrams, and so many interesting ones emerge.

I'm Arnaud. I've been working on connecting pieces of software since the end of the 20th century. I like to share what I learn while studying and working in the API space.
I started blogging about web APIs under the API Handyman nickname in 2015, talked at a few conferences about APIs (most of the time with a pop culture twist), and wrote a book about the design of web APIs.
If you want to talk about #api, #apidesign, #apigovernance, and related practices and tools, I'm in.
Evaluating the role of many networks as part of my storytelling and engagement. My coworkers reminded me to check in on my Discord profile.

" It’s about wrestling with the beast that is the internet, pushing ourselves to understand its foundations (technical and philosophical), and making intentional choices about where and what we share (and what control we are or are not willing to give up)." New from @mburtis
