Interesting UEFA rule in the notes from the Shels Fans Advisory Board meeting - "Champions league music can't be played in the stadium on match day until the final qualifying round" . @shelsfc too late to add Zadok the Priest to tonight's playlist?.

This is a great ep, Guy is hilarious!.It's added now to an archive of all things #wdydy. Use it to check .* How often guests really eat at Pret.* When the Helen copter first got mentioned.* Who exactly is Lord Dingbat?.* Best ways to enter a (water!) bath.

Gary Neville was ahead of his time

I also cover what happens when idempotency is missing or misbehaves, including the story of a very unusual Spotify hack!. If you're building a resilient API and want to avoid these headaches, then take a read, and let me know how it goes for you!. 🔗

I recently gave a talk, "Avoiding Déjà Vu: Building Resilient APIs with Idempotency". I've published a summary of the session, going over practical techniques to build resilient APIs. It covers.🧠 What idempotency really is.🧪 How to design safe retries.🔒 Locking and TTL advice.

At the speed this is developing, he'll need the premium Duolingo version asap to get ready for his unveiling speech.

Sky could clean up here with a red button option to see something other than the Trent show #lfc.

Quick work there from Kelly Cates when Trent passed the trophy to Konate in front of the Kop - "they're saying Ibou, not booing Trent"

Bad start for #shels tonight - 5 down after 2 minutes is going to be tough to come back from

The LOITV scoreboard clearly being run by a Pats fan, refusing to acknowledge the late #shels goal

Odd sign in flow for @AerLingus wifi, redirecting to an external signup page on a different domain. Looks like someone forgot to renew the external domain, could be an interesting phishing target.

RT @freekmurze: 🔗 Stripe Is My DNS Provider Now: When Good APIs Meet Bad Ideas (by @conroyp).

So it is possible to build a DNS server using Stripe metadata!. Is this a good idea? No. But is it a viable option if you're in a rush? Also no. Absolutely not - it is the jokiest of projects. But an interesting exercise!. #stripe #api #donttrythisathome.

DNS entries are complex, and need to be read quickly. So I thought why not use a payment processor's simple key-value store to save data?. But does it work? Kind of! There are a number of limitations, but it's a useful way to explore limits of metadata, and write-then-read flows.

🌐 Stripe Is My DNS Provider Now (or "When Good APIs Meet Bad Ideas"). Inspired by @quinnypig's famous post about Route 53 being a database, I wondered what's the opposite? If DNS can be a db what's the most absurd way to implement a DNS server?. Using Stripe metadata, obviously!

You had me at "transcribe voice notes".
