Inconsistencies in the HTTP cookie specification and its implementations have caused a situation where countless websites (including Facebook, Netflix, Okta, WhatsApp, Apple, etc.) are one small mistake away from locking their users out.

vehicular biologists like myself truly appreciate the sexual dimorphism of the Ford F-150.
on the left, the industrious 1987 F-150, is commonly found at construction sites and farms.
on the right, the 2023 F-150, with its vestigial flatbed, largely spends its time grooming and fetching groceries.

since today is urbanist drama day about whether north american cities can be saved:
my city went from 153 (92 separated) miles of bike paths in 2015 to 212 in 2023. the 2030 bike plan calls for 335 miles by 2035, 245 miles of it separated.
it's hard but it is getting better.
