    Here's an annotated version of that video with extra links, notes and code samples: I think this is now the best answer I have to the question "what is Datasette?"

    OK on further thought I don't think my original tweet here was justified - the wider context of that thread is reasonable, I was picking up on specific wording in a single tweet that I took offense so - so my apologies to both and the Chromium team, I over-reacted

    It's likely I'm over-reacting to some clumsy wording in the tweet I originally tweeted here - it hit a bit of a nerve for me!

    The document linked to in this tweet is absolutely worth reading, it provides a much more detailed and nuanced description of the Chromium team's attitude to breaking changes

    11/ I really like this document which outlines Blink principles for breaking changes: -- no hard and fast rules, but covers a lot of the dimensions that are considered when evaluating a candidate breaking change.

    But it's not OK to imply that breaking changes on the web should be common and expected - they need to stay as rare as possible and have extremely strong, universally discussed justification

    The rationale for this particular breaking change makes OK sense to me - if something causes major trust/safety issues (see SameSite cookies - ) I think breakage can be justified

    6/ Second, if you're wondering why this change is happening, you can read more on the Chromium blink-dev@ mailing list, but the tl;dr is: alert() and friends are often used for spoofing and scams that take advantage of the fact that the message's provenance is ambiguous.

    Aaron is more eloquent than I, and has experience developing web browsers

    . - this is super disappointing. Chrome originally had as a core principle that it would *never* break web content. That turned out to be too idealistic. We sometimes *had* to break things for long-term benefit, but took minimizing pain as *our* responsibility not devs

    No, no, no, no! One of the best things about developing for the web is that, as a rule, browsers don't break old code. Expecting every website and application to have an active team of developers maintaining it at all times is not how the web should work!

    10/ Third, on breakage in general -- breaking changes happen often on the web, and as a developer it's good practice to test against early release channels of major browsers to learn about any compatibility issues upfront.

    Looks like PostgreSQL supports that too, and there are ways of achieving the same thing with a CASE statement in other databases:

    Just found out SQLite supports filter clauses on aggregates! select year, sum(revenue) filter (where month = 1) as jan_revenue, sum(revenue) filter (where month = 2) as feb_revenue from invoices group by year

    Started putting together an interactive Jupyter+Binder tutorial for my sqlite-utils Python library - still very much in progress but you can try out the first version of it on Binder here:

    SmartThings uses the meaningless "Lifestyle" subheading too

    Screenshot of the App Store listing
    The official Samsung app I was looking for was this one, called SmartThings (with the unhelpful subheading "Lifestyle")

    The word "Roomba" does not appear anywhere in the iRobot Home listing. Good thing I happen to know which company manufactures the Roomba! This is the same issue that lead me to get scammed by the "Smart Things" (as opposed to SmartThings) app a while ago

    Screenshot of the Washington Post homepage - the top story is "Apple's tightly controlled App Store is teeming with scams"
    I'm in the Washington Post today - quoted in a story on their home! (It's about how I fell for an App Store scam and paid $19 for a remote control app. Someone on HN has already suggested I "barely have the skills of my grandma", so that's fun)

    Got a new Roomba. Searched "roomba" on the App Store to install the remote control app for it. First result (sponsored) is an in-app purchase scam app called "Vacuum Robot Control App" The official app I was looking for comes next: "iRobot Home", subtitle "Lifestyle"

    Screenshot of the search results as described in my tweet

    Urgh, smart light switches. If we're going to get some are there any good guides to which ones are the easiest to write custom code against?

    I learn so much about film making from Todd's conversations like this one

    How do we think this scene from "The Blues Brothers" (1980) was lit?

    This list of things that have changed with Delta is sobering

    …when I learned that a variable had changed w/ Delta, I assumed nothing else had. But now I see that it’s best to assume that nearly every parameter is different – usually for the worse. That creates cognitive vertigo, but it matches the facts on the ground. (see below.)(3/25)

    Anyone seen a good analysis of exactly why Fleets didn't work on Twitter? It intuitively didn't feel like a good fit for the platform to me, but I'd love to see something backed up by actual surveys and research as opposed to random opinions
