@klaatu "less expensive" "more maintainable" "takes fewer developer-hours" "is simpler"In these cases I'd avoid metaphor, to ease communication and eschew obfuscation.

@SuricrasiaOnline wait — in 2006 you could kick off the "Responsive Web Design" revolution four years early and steal the flame from Ethan Marcotte. Start the CSS3 process early enough that IE11 might support unprefixed Flexbox and Grid. Start the Responsive Images Community Group ahead of time and we could have srcsets as early as 2011!You could preempt ogp.me and Twitter Cards by proposing that IETF adopt oEmbed as a formal standard! Performance budgets!Use this time travel for good!

@benhamillFortunately, ISO 8601 dates are human-readable, and easily parsed by everyone except people who do MM/DD/YY...(I, too, love ISO 8601)

@SuricrasiaOnline because the W3C CSSWG is doing excellent work! @rachelandrew@twitter.com and @fantasai@twitter.com are inspiring people.grid-template-areas lets you completely change the layout with a media query affecting only a single property on a single element. It's glorious.

@r000tBut! Be aware that some buildings are legitimately Faraday cages. You should start suspecting jamming if you lose signal outside the building as well as inside the building.

@publius In https://guide.glasgow2024.org/id/623f82e3-cd2c-4a08-b4d9-7cc0db554033 the panelist Kate Watson asked for the public to send her any information available about Muriel Howorth. She's been researching Muriel's atomic activism. If you happen to know anything, email kw631@exeter.ac.uk
