Let me clarify some things about the WHATWG HTML Standard:

The HTML Standard has not been maintained by Ian since 2015. It has since then been maintained by myself, Anne, Simon, and Philip. Affiliations during that time are, respectively: Google, Mozilla then Apple, Bocoup then Mozilla, and Google. (Indeed, mostly only browser companies have been paying people to be editors for web specs!) https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/acknowledgements.html...

But the contributor pool is much larger. We're quite proud of the vibrant (not stagnant) community we've created, which is continually evolving and improving the spec. Contributions come from all corners; many are from people employed by browser engine companies, but others include students, web developers, consultancies like Igalia and Bocoup which various companies hire to work on web standards, W3C staff and members, representatives from server-side runtimes like Node and Deno, and so on. Some interesting pages to peruse might be https://github.com/whatwg/html/commits/main , https://github.com/whatwg/html/graphs/contributors?type=c , and https://blog.whatwg.org/ .

Overall I think it's pretty exciting you can run a successful standards organization like this, getting such high engagement levels despite employing no full-time staff and with operating costs being entirely server bills. Including, no membership fees. Which is perhaps relevant to the OP. https://twitter.com/Hixie/status/1603917371214729216

The WHATWG only includes features in our standards which have multi-implementer commitment: https://whatwg.org/working-mode#additions . This is different than some places where anyone can publish a "standard", even if the target platforms have no intention of implementing it. I don't think this reduces to "merely a memorandum of understanding"; I think it's best when standards reflect reality. Other SDOs can disagree, and that's fine; it's healthy to have a marketplace.

As for the scare quotes around "living standard", you might enjoy https://whatwg.org/faq#living-standard and the follow-up questions.
When New Zealand went shopping for a new electoral system in the 1990s, we ended up with one based closely on the German model, including the 5% threshold. The Israeli parliament was frequently pointed to as an Awful Warning of what would happen if we din't have the threshold.
Ha. I'm such a Wayland hater.

FINE. Maybe this will be thing...

Intrinsics in many languages are just a file full of inline ASM somewhere.
Holy shit, BASIC that allowed inline assembly. So jealous.
What if editing text messages didn’t suck?
It's a bit more complicated than that: the pharmaceutical companies underplayed the addictiveness and overplayed the benefits of opioids for years - so even under doctor supervision tons of folks got hooked, and many turned to the black market when they got cut off.

https://www.northpointwashington.com/blog/big-pharma-big-lie... is an interesting article about this in the context of Oxycontin. One detail I find particularly interesting is that Purdue pharma marketed it as a 12 hour pain killer when the data clearly only supported it being good for 8 hours... leading to increasingly stronger doses being prescribed rather that admit the 12hr guideline was wrong.
More tangentially related, but the main character of Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Dispossessed” is modeled after Oppenheimer (who Le Guin’s parents were friends with).

No, there is no more powerful user, it’s just that the root user no longer has arbitrary control - it means that if an attacker compromises a root owned process the attacker can’t turn around and control the kernel.

The kernel has a number of things it can do: if you try to do a special thing it could force authentication itself - eg a “root”/admin user can still do the action, but a process with “root privileges” cannot, it can require the process attempting the action have correct entitlements, it can simply reject the operation entirely, etc. it can do all of the above: I recall there being some operations that can only be performed by specific apps, with specific entitlements, as special users, with immediate authentication (startup items and the like)

The problem is that switch is global on iOS. I don't want to remove all animations, just some of them. Android has the same problem here: I want to disable many animations because I find them annoying and intrusive, but some critical animations like loading spinners break when animations are disabled, so I do the next best thing and increase the speed.

At least iOS lets you change the font size for each application independently, which is a feature that I make heavy use of. I like larger fonts, but sometimes this results in text being truncated too early, and being able to selectively reduce the font size makes it feasible to have a larger default font size. For whatever reason this is not possible on Android, and changing the font size takes several seconds to kick in, so even manually boosting the font size for certain cases via a shortcut or automation is annoying.
To be honest, I feel like your blog post was moreso entertainment (and a good one) than actual support for your thesis. While not every examples was bad, you picked some incredible edge cases for many of them that are at best rare in reality (fibonacci, dynamic_cast immediately following construction), and at worst nonsensical (always_inline with noinline?!) and then deduced people have bad intuition if they couldn't guess what optimizations occurred here. That's not really an accurate assessment of people's intuitions - for example, I'm around ~100% sure that hardly anyone who claims "I have good intuition for inlining" has the answer to "what happens if I combine always_inline to noinline" in their head when they say that - nor should they! Heck, I already forget what that does on each compiler even after reading your post. If anything, someone with a good intuition would know that they should check the compiler output for something like that.

What you'd need to do for assessing intuition is finding some actual common/realistic cases, then seeing how accurately people perform on those - things that are useful, and which people might actually claim to have intuition about! Moreover, also note that someone with "good intuition" for inlining wouldn't necessarily know (or need to care) what happens at every call site - sometimes it doesn't really matter what specific level the inlining stops at, as long as most of the call chain is inlined, and that's what intuition often gets you.
Suddenly NOT having foundational knowledge is a plus!?!
Alan Kay has explained this quote a bit, which I thought was insightful.

It's not about tracking the Puck. It's about seeing the big picture and positioning yourself such that it will be passed to you.
They say that it's 10% what you say, and 90% how you say it.

That said, if what you have to say is worth 10x more than the mean, then you can say it however you want...

I work at a much smaller shop than Twitter, but notable enough to get reporters sniffing around when we have internal scandals. Without giving any details I was an insider on few actions that got media coverage that was framed in a very nefarious way. Having personally witnessed the deliberations, I can confirm it was a mix of inside baseball that outsiders just don't usually see and a handful of sincere people really trying to do the right thing in a difficult situation and not really knowing one way or the other how things will work out.
Calling someone a pedophile on Twitter withot evidence qualifies as a temper tantrum in my book.
Yeah. Whether this is faster than normal sort is a big "depends" based on how the sorted data is accessed.

SIMD sort with indirection would be nice if you only need to access top 25 or 1/255 items in the array or something. Faster sorting helps pay off the cost of cache misses when accessing the other fields.

If you need to sort and then process every item with associated data, I wouldn't be surprised if quicksort on the structs themselves is faster. The cache misses would add up.
The article doesn't mention being able to control those things though.
So Brave on an ARM Mac may already be my holy grail.
> That's what the intelligence agencies who were simultaneously infiltrating the opposing political campaign claim, yes.

It’s actually what SecureWorks and other private companies said, SecureWorks is a private company that is a subsidiary of Dell but I’m sure you’ll find some other reason not to believe it.
Funny if it becomes self reinforcing.

1. All the bots use the top UA to stay anonymousish.

2. This increases that UA share causing more of 1

3. Some of the bots are mission critical so humans complain if that UA is rejected so it is always accepted

4. Actual browsers decide to now just send the always accepted UA on any system to ensure the best experience, even as tech changes.

5. 100% of browsers send the 2022 UA top ranked string in 2032!
We're talking about politics and democracy here. People will always have a diverse range of opinions on political issues where none of those opinions is objectively "right".

Hopefully one opinion that most would agree on is that in matters of fact any competent representative should pay attention to the knowledge and advice of experts.
Nearly every country will shoot a plane that’s not identifying itself out of the sky. Especially after 9/11. It’s actually policy in a lot of countries now.

Generally would happen after a visual confirmation though.

Anyway, cars don’t carry the same type of power that planes do. Cars are being tracked in most countries anyway, just that the data isn’t public.

Finally there is nothing stopping you from making a “install this software on your webcams to monitor car locations” is there? If you’re so non hypocritical, go make that software and convince folks to run it, because that’s how airplane tracking happens.

Unless you’re arguing that planes shouldn’t carry radios with them and that countries should be fine with unidentified planes in their air space?
Xfce is nice.
The basic promise of the proposal seems to be that the technology is more of a convenience than a basic need, and/or people who really need it will have the cost dealt with by another entity.

This seems reasonable to me, and can be revised once we have a very good grasp of what actually happens with the technology after a few decades at least.
Fair enough. In my head I'm implicitly assuming that in a state like California approval by-right would necessarily require as a practical matter reform to, for example, CEQA so EIS reports couldn't be so trivially challenged. But in the abstract it's the same pathology--the opposition abusing legal procedures to hold up projects indefinitely, rather than advocating for and relying on substantive law. The problem with the latter is that it makes the opposition uncomfortably accountable; it becomes much more transparent that requirement X is responsible for Y costs, which allows the public to make more informed decisions about the utility of X.
I don't think that Fresh or Deno will solve any problems that aren't already solved. In fact, there are a lot of very frustrating bits about Fresh that worked a lot nicer in i.e. Rails. I would not use Fresh in production right now; if I were making a generic CRUD app I would probably use something a lot easier and with a bigger community around it.

Oddly, enough that’s what he ended up doing. We even describe the power of the engine in horsepower. Granted it’s not a 1:1 translation to an actual horse.

If your only concern is radiation exposure, coal plants actually emit more radiation than nuclear. And that's deliberate, everyday emissions, not the accidental once-in-a-decade megaevents like Fukushima or Chernobyl.
Since the example was using rust, I'm guessing the [std::simd module](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/simd/index.html), which is currently unstable but would be cool to see put to use here

Would they do that if the government just gave them the drug they are addicted to for free? I don’t think so.

Is the real problem then the addiction, or the public policy context in which the addiction exists?

Of course, I wouldn’t want to be addicted to opioids, even if the government gave them to me for free, due to the potential negative long-term health consequences, and also potential negative impacts on cognitive functioning which may in turn limit one’s educational/career/life prospects. But I don’t know if being in such a scenario, even if millions were in such a scenario, would be a “crisis” in the same sense that opioids currently are

FWIW, my interactions with Carmack have shown him to be extremely pragmatic when it comes to tech. Going quickly from “we absolutely shouldn’t do that” to “ok it makes sense in that context”.
Personally, yes -- I have significantly smaller gas and electric bills despite being in a larger house in a colder climate as a result of better construction and insulation and more energy-efficient appliances. I also moved to a city where I can walk or bike for daily tasks so I fill up my (more fuel-efficient) car's gas tank about a quarter as often.

I'm not claiming this is the case generally across the UK -- I'm in the US and don't know the situation there. Just that it doesn't automatically follow that "I'm using less energy" necessarily equates to "less energy is available for me to use".
I think this is a very likely scenario.
Been noticing a lot of articles on people being advised to be euthanized for depression and other concerns.
I'm a heavy Python user, and have worked with a number of colleagues who have learned it as their first language in my group. And BASIC was my first language.

I think Python is easy to use as a scripting language thanks to the proliferation of libraries, meaning that you can get things done without touching the obscure stuff. Many users can be quite productive with precisely the subset of Python that's not too different from BASIC. Python adds features faster than I can learn them, and though I'm a productive user, I scored "average" on a skills test.
The mayo clinic states:

> Causes
It's not known what causes narcissistic personality disorder. The cause is likely complex. Narcissistic personality disorder may be linked to:

> Environment — parent-child relationships with either too much adoration or too much criticism that don't match the child's actual experiences and achievements.
> Genetics — inherited characteristics, such as certain personality traits.
> Neurobiology — the connection between the brain and behavior and thinking.

There could be a relationship between neglectful parenting and narcissistic personality disorder, but I definitely agree with the other person who replied to you — at the very least, it’s disingenuous and misleading to present the cause concretely and unambiguously as “bad parenting”. We really know so little about most mental health conditions.
From his tweets..

>I see no reason to expect that Meta could build a better CPU/GPU than Qualcomm (at much lower volumes!), and there isn't as much opportunity for full custom special units in VR as people think. This leads people to propose lots of MR features, which are of unproven value.
https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1603936133632905216...

I wonder if John is just not a believer in MR (mixed reality) that this is what actually led to him leaving. I could see him advocating strongly for pure VR, as its his bread-and-butter and where he probably believes is the most innovation. MR presents challenges and ideas he might not be well suited for.
What do think the FBI does? They monitor threats. Just following media (social and traditional) is pretty mandatory first step in collecting intel. A lot of Jan 6 insurrections were organizing on digital platforms. Foreign adversaries are using it too.

Likely. I can't find it now, but there was an HN story not long ago where someone used fairly rudimentary techniques to identify former/alt HN accounts based on stylometric similarity. It worked VERY well.

If I were going to post from a throwaway account for some reason, I would probably launder it through an intermediate language on Google Translate for one or two cycles. Otherwise, if I didn't bother with that, I'd certainly scatter some intentional errors here and there that I don't usually make.

Can we please just freeze the user-agent string all browsers use? (I'd prefer if we could remove it, but we all know that isn't ever happening due to all the old websites.) It's silly that it's almost 2023 and web browsers are still sending legacy-infested nonsense like "(KHTML, like Gecko)" and websites actually change behavior based on it! We have proper APIs for feature detection nowadays, websites shouldn't need to change behavior based on the browser anymore.

The whole argument against MAID feels ridiculously like the anti-abortion position. The other option to providing it is having them end their life in a way that might be risky or fail to succeed in a way that leaves them painfully scarred for life or suffering more than they had to.

Also to consider: Wifi networks are used for tracking. Google and Microsoft offer methods for disabling this for the network that you control. (_nomap/website) Apple does not. Also Google makes it not impossible to stop tracking ( F-droid/Netguard/Superfreezz) on your phone. Pro iphone: Apple does not share access to an advertising id for monetization without user consent. Apple guards application boundaries.
I don’t think what you’re saying makes sense. If you covered all information, no information is left. The blocks are irrelevant since 100% of the information is gone. There’s no “history leak” in JPEG, which is basically what’s being asked.

The only issue I see is meta tags and embedded thumbnails, which some cameras do. Stripping EXIF is always required.

That was for the guy who asked the question. I love how Jobs had that elegant way of being an asshole back to those that deserved it, and in such a subtle way you hardly noticed him actually being an asshole.
Link please!
This is it.

Let’s say you’re covering a red pixel with a black pixel. There’s no way that red pixel will in any way “survive JPEG compression” because the compression happens on the raw pixel data; the raw pixel data no longer has a red pixel.
If it its text, then it leaks the length of the text that was redacted. Something to keep in mind. So you may want to actually move the remaining text spacing a bit one way or the other.

It's hilarious the CTO was enforcing corporate logo aesthetics. Talk about nanomanagement. Sheesh.
That's definitely true. What - unfortunately in some ways - is also true is that a lot of people cleaned up on both Enron and bitcoin. They did this ultimately at the expense of other people but those people too were trying to do the exact same thing.

It's effectively one group of greedy people feeding off people that are greedy too but a bit later to the musical chairs game. And so they end up without chairs, but if you start such a game you already know that somebody is going to end up without a chair, you just hope it won't be you.
That's assuming you knew what the font type and font size was, though.
Perhaps you decide the valuable Intellectual Property of your comments and argumentation is enriching a new site owner whose manners you despise. You might want that IP that you own removed.
