I was perusing Wikipedia as the news broke and was most amused how quickly the national anthem changed from "God save the queen" to "God save the king". But, the filename and "subtitles" still referred to the queen. I checked today, and indeed the file has been renamed and the embedded lyrics have been updated. Very impressive, honestly.

I hope there's a third version of that sound file floating around where it claims to be "My country, 'tis of thee".
>Wikipedia is quick, easy, and good enough [from the video]

No one can be an expert, or take the time for deep dive, on every topic, so I love the fact that most of the time I can do a quick sanity check on an alleged fact, or learn the gist of some new (to me) concept or theory, using Wikipedia. In my own personal areas of expertise, I almost never rely on Wikipedia even for an overview, and I suspect that is true for others. Even this speaker acknowledges that he doesn't know of many alternate sources for topics outside his specialty like math, science, etc., so why not love Wikipedia for lighting at least a candle in those areas where your current vision is most limited by darkness?

His main complaint boils down to Wikipedia does too good of a job of collecting a lot of generally reliable information about a topic in one place, without the benefit of someone like him to interpret, explain, and distill it for us.

Firefox: Enable network.dns.echconfig.enabled

What's strange is that even with these enabled, Cloudflare's tester still reports ECH is not enabled [1] while Chromium's reports it is [1]. Maybe Cloudflare's tester is not using the latest spec?

As mentioned in other comments, it's very unusual for undeprecated APIs in iOS to break badly from one release to the next, at least the time I've developed for the platform. Usually if something is that broken it's because the app in question was using an API that was deprecated years ago despite repeated warnings.
A home server is a separate machine from your main computer. It may not be connected to a monitor, or it may be a used laptop no one sits at. But it lives on your network at home.

A server provides software services. Your router could be considered a server: it helps your wifi devices get online and manages the Internet connection.

Tipi is an example of a pre-configured router, but as a server for certain apps: by using it, you don't have to set it up yourself. It comes with software that you can use, already available, installed, and configured. But it is a server too--and running in your home, it is a "homeserver."

You could likely use those same apps without Tipi, with varying amounts of time spent configuring something similar.

> Also is there a difference between a homeserver and localhost?

Yes, it would be different. If Tipi is running on a separate machine (the server), its localhost may load some kind of web control panel. However, when you visit localhost on your personal machine, if a web server is not running, the browser may just load an error page.

See this nearby comment for some advantages of running your own server(s) at home: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32794629
If BMW says that buying one of their EVs helps save the planet then that must be true.

Why would POSIX need to be replaced? Sure, POSIX is a bit clunky to use, but who uses it directly? And there aren't any performance benefits you can get from replacing POSIX. This is just one of those questions that CS academics ask themselves because they ran out of algorithms to discover.

I never knew this had a word to it, but it is definitely a strange phenomena itself.

Especially with content creation. People become the X person. The writing person. The growth hacker person. The data science person.

It almost pigeonholes you into being a one-trick pony. Platforms like TikTok and LinkedIn especially push flanderization in this light and good luck getting out to diversify yourself without a new account.

The more obvious example is politics though. There are certain exaggerated traits you associate with the most popular candidates because of how often you are exposed to them.
Did they improve it recently ? I haven’t developed for Android in a while but it used to be terrible. Full of absolutely useless method descriptions.

For example, I remember getting frustrated because of the docs for a setTextSize method, with the helpful description “sets the text size”. Nice. Very helpful that it didn’t mention what unit the parameter was, especially since (after experimentation) it turns out the unit is not the one you would expect for a font size.

The API docs were full of that kind of ‘documentation’, setX: “Sets X”.

If you are writing documentation, please explain what method parameters and return values actually mean, what the units used are. Especially if uses a unit no one expects. For example: font sizes are usually specified in points, if you expect them to be specified in pixels you should absolutely mention that.

Maybe it’s just me being stupid, but cppreference, while absolutely of great quality, some c++ pages can be as cryptic as it gets. I know, the language is very much not trivial due to all these features, but for example the page about the different kind of l/rvalues is very very complex.
The discussion on photos seems strange to me. Obviously I'm not fully up to date on wikipedia policies, but the comparisons to Reagan or actors using photos from their prime rather than their later years seems a bit misleading. US presidents and actors both are much less active at the end of their life to the peak of their age so people remember what they looked like at that peak (I remember being surprised at W's current appearance in his post-election video with Obama and Clinton), but the Queen was active and old for a long time.

Similarly, even on actors, I'd kind of expect a photo of an older Morgan Freeman or Ian McKellen to continue to be their picture even post-mortem, while I wouldn't expect the same for, for example, Mark Hamill.

I’m not a big fan of M&M in general but the salt caramel ones they sell now in Spain are great.
I would never accept poor code organization as a trade-off for performance. If using linked resources becomes a performance issue I would probably use a server side bundler, or write my own.
Don’t go there for the tropes; go there for the examples. Look up the things you’re thinking of doing, and then consume the media where people are saying that thing was done well. It’s like reading highly-cited journal papers, for fiction.
Browser privacy is a tire fire though.

I've taken to using Firefox focus and pressing the little trashcan icon every day or so.

Anyway, I'd like to see a reasonable solution in this space, but I suspect the early adopters are largely the group of people that have essentially stateless web browsers.

No, it limits the concept of free expression to be governmental only. It is closely adjacent to the idea that government grants our rights and with out government we have no rights

it is rejection of the idea of Natural Rights for which the US was founded on, this rejection of natural rights is growing in the population is is very dangerous to those very rights

Believing that only governments can censor is a rejection of the principle of free expression which is "I may disagree with you but I support your right to say it"

Society should not embrace the idea that businesses, employers, etc should choose who they transact with based on peoples opinions and views. Society that embraces these kinds of virtue tests have no liberty, and have no free expression
The line length even seems to be limited already, just at a (too) high number. WHen I maximize the browser window the comment texts use about 2/3 of the width.

I just tried and Firefox' reader mode automatically limits the width, though unfortunately that's not made for interactive use. I guess it might be a good idea for a browser plugin (if it doesn't already exist), similar to the ones forcing dark color themes on websites using CSS.
True, but if you go down that route there's no reason for a remote server at all. (Cf. pass.) I was just suggesting what seems to me a likely cause, since everyone was talking about 'phoning home' and 'remote disabling' as though it was intentional or more dodgy.
I'm extremely fond of the official Elixir documentation - it's easy to read, has a standard structure, and most importantly (to me) you can click the "code symbol" (</>) to go to the actual implementation of the function documented.

I had a closer look at the earliest available NeXTstep version (0.8) running in the previous emulator - I still need to refurbish the MO drive in my Cube to run it natively (I have a 68030 CPU board)... C and ObjC compilers (though the objc.exe (!) provided seems to be a source-to-source compiler) are included in the image available on winworldpc and I can compile the included demo source code.

It seems that this early version is significantly different from later NeXTstep (3.3) and OpenStep versions. For example, it does not use app bundles. System apps installed in the /Apps folder, such as Terminal, are simple Mach-O executable m68k binaries.

If we wanted to target such an early NeXTstep, in addition, the source code of TinyClock would have to be changed significantly. One problem is that early versions of AppKit used "NX" instead of "NS" prefixes. More difficult is that a number of classes used by TinyClock seem to be unimplemented - not even NSString (resp. NXString) seems to be available. More complex classes such as NSCalendarDate or NSBezierPath also seem to be a later addition (unless the 0.8 install image is missing some header files, the earliest documentation I could find was on 1.0).

So it seems that a completely universal binary is out of the question, unfortunately.
Haha, mine sure as hell isn't.

Whenever I try to polish some piece of code into some immaculate crystal it only takes a short while before I go and make some change to it and then it looks like crap again.

I try to keep it at a level where it doesn't get too out of hand it can't be refactored in an afternoon, while at the same time refraining from masturbatory polish.

...resize your browser window? The text is as wide as you want it to be.

On the other hand, I absolutely hate it when I want wider or narrower lines, and resizing the window either causes useless whitespace or a scrollbar to appear.

Is it sprinkled throughout the story, or a mostly uninterrupted block of text? As in: is there an easily findable chunk of the book one could read for that idea alone? If so and you could provide a few keywords or a direct quote, I’d be interested in grabbing the book to read that.
So some of them are public cloud, e.g. 3/8. And you can ran serverless there.

I agree that the performance difference between svelte and vue is negligible most of the time. It might matter more for giant websites - but it’s hard to evaluate that from the microbenchmarks people keep doing.

React’s performance has never been that great. The library is large (a cost you pay for even on tiny websites). Time-to-interactive is quite long. And I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen shouldComponentUpdate used in the wild. Most apps just do a full rerender whenever the state changes.

React performs well enough when websites are small, and by the time a website is big, people don’t want to change their framework. The users are asked to put up with vaguely sluggish websites. They often aren’t given a lot of choice.

I think users bounce from websites due to sloppy performance all the time. But dev teams have no idea how much it happens because it doesn’t show up on metrics.

And it’s hard to fix a big, slow react website like new reddit. As they say, you can’t fix a problem with the same thinking that created the problem.
Yeah in Europe the optics between public/private are different.

If you are capable you will be able to pass through public college, because they are independently funded and they have no obligation to let you pass. So it is quite possible to have 300 people in a class on first semester and 100 people with degree after last semester. You passed? Cool we want you.

If you are unfortunate, you go on private college where "you can buy a degree". Does not matter how hard your private college is, this is what society believes that happening at private colleges. However then you will automatically meet distrust at interviews because they will be looking at you as on somebody who has no college degree and usually won't even talk to you.
Only reason why private college is a thing in Europe is requirement of government for government officials to have at least Bachelor degree, even that they don't need it for a job. But real employers will be laughing at you.
Companies (even small startups) working in regulated spaces can benefit from using the public cloud for the compliance aspect. More than once I've had a regulator ask me for X or Y security certifications, very easy to point to the list that ECS has, much harder to do if running on IaaS or in bare metal.

Tailwind. Since tailwind classes expand to css, they could've called it a day by just showing those expansions, but they went further and each class has it's own section and every variant comes with an explanation, often accompanied with illustrations even. Their designer roots show too, because the illustrations are tight. Honestly, one could potentially skip having to refer to css docs and make do with just tailwind's.

The worst thing I've found is false labeling. I have been a long-time customer of Boboli pre-baked pizza crusts (yes I know I should bake the crust myself), usually buying the 2-item package of 8-inch mini-crusts. In the last year or so, I suddenly noticed that the normal amount of mozarella that I grate onto the pizza had become significantly more than enough to cover the surface. Sure enough, the item labeled as 8-inch diameter is now actually 7.5 inches in diameter, I have confirmed this over multiple recent purchases.

That is over 12% shrinkage.
It's just a function of the way the demosaicing works. You can apply noise reduction to Bayer to achieve a similar noise-detail tradeoff to X-Trans, but you cannot effectively turn it off on X-Trans and get the detail back.

Love it. My only complaint so far after playing around is that the "last paragraph" it picks seems a little bit arbitrary. Often enough it seems to pick the one I just finished rather than the one I should be reading next. Maybe there could be some subtle indication of which paragraph it will leave off at based on your scroll position or something like that?

Tom Cruise actually performed that stunt. There is a highlight BTS reel showing how they composited that shot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZjsZCMBT-s one of several; just the first result in my Google search). As you can see, he's very well secured to the plane in the BTS footage; the cables and other protection are composited out in post-production. Similarly, in the water tank scene later in the movie, Cruise actually jumped 120 feet into water, and held his breath in a water tank for several minutes (though the fountain in the jump, and the arm in the tank were both composited into the scene in post).

In fact, Tom Cruise actually performs most of his stunts, especially for the MI movies. It's kind of his thing; while the context of the stunt might be CGI the action itself is real.

He's worth more than a billion dollars, so he can afford to pay specialists to train him; he supposedly spent over a year learning to hold his breath for several minutes just for the water tank scene.
Well, he likens it to McDonalds. He has a point. (I say that as a long-time Wikipedian, who has had quite a lot of Egg McMuffins for breakfast, against my better knowledge.)
