"Web development" means many different things to different people.

I believe a sensible approach, for some (including me), is:

1. Learn back-end web programming (HTTP request/response model, templating, sessions, security, the REST architectural model, ORM...) with your framework of choice (Django, Flask, Litestar, Sanic...). There are many tutorials and books around.

2. Learn HTMX (https://htmx.org/). A fine book is https://hypermedia.systems/ (it will also teach you the fundamental, framework-agnostic, principles of 1.)

GNU Icecat for Windows, Mac and Linux
Hi, I thought that some of you guys would like to use Gnu Icecat, but don't have time to build it yourself. Here we go, and ask me anything about the project.
Exactly. I was also given feedback I should talk and express my opinion more, only later in my life. I was given this professionally, and it's possibly been one of the best advice I've received in terms of my life, it's weird it took me to get to the position of having a career and no one else before that thought to give it.

When growing up I also listened to those statements as you said, in addition I would like to bring out the very common "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt".

This type of sentiment actually gave me performance anxiety. Thinking people are constantly evaluating you, and at any given time if you speak you could significantly lose that rating. In which case it's always best to stay with the "neutral" or whichever rating. I thought it would be okay to kind of be this "strong, smart, mysteriously silent type".

Unfortunately if you actually follow this strategy, you will be left behind, because people who do talk, and say things that are stupid, are more likely to learn to talk better than anyone staying silent. Eventually they will say fewer stupid things, their communication skills will improve.

If I hold a stupid belief or opinion, and I never voice it, there's no one ever who could make me understand why the belief/opinion is stupid, meanwhile I'm wasting all this time with the bad belief.

These types of advices are, as one would also expect listened only by people who shouldn't listen to the advice, and people who should, won't listen to it in the first place.

So in the end it's people frustrated with other people talking too much giving out this type of advice without any thought on the consequences.

The "better to remain silent..." to me is worst of them all due to the mindset it brings to the social situations. As if it's a constant performance who is able to give a smarter impression, while a better mindset is that social situations and conversations should be about learning, improving, connecting and having fun. Sharing your thoughts, making mistakes, saying stupid things, arguing, are all part of this.

As a teenager I used to perceive most social situations as this sort of competition/performance, so I could never enjoy those situations since naturally the strategy I followed didn't make me become better at the competition. Only way I could've become better is if I actively participated and was okay with losing at least for a while. Now I'm trying to perceive social situations as something where I try to achieve the aforementioned goals (learning, improving, connecting and having fun) for the group as a whole rather than having a competition within the group.

If I ever have a kid and if that kid gets natural disposition to being introvert or on the autistic side, which could be likely due to how genes work, I will make sure to do my best to inject the mindset I believe is more productive.
> all the major distros default to GNOME

If your definition of major distros is limited to Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora, then probably. Linux Mint was born out of rejecting GNOME, Arch is not opinionated, Manjaro defaults to KDE (although "defaults" here may be a wrong word), SteamOS defaults to KDE, openSUSE defaults to KDE, then there's PopOS...
Everything is a frontpage post nowadays.
How about: just talk to people and don't be a twat? Enlightening.
Hahaha, this is a genuine tactic people use to keep it about themselves indeed. Good one.

Might want to check 'Small, Sharp Software Tools' from The Pragmatic Programmers also. It's a great book, and comparable to the O’Reilly book.

the word seems to be a bit like like yoghurt - and a thought is kind of like a yoghurt culture in that it's formed of a lot of invisible entities (in the case of yoghurt, billions of microorganisms in probiotics, in the case of thoughts, the human brain has billions of neurons)
As with many things at games studios using a different language (or unique technology) is usually driven by a single person. Once they leave or move out of the place where they could contribute and maintain it, unless it has support and buy in from the rest of the team and studio, it starts to gets replaced.

From the grapevine I heard there was one person that advocated for writing in D, though I'm not sure if they are still there or not any more.
I think its a delightful name for a blog!
That's not what's happening, unless you have a source. They're now only allowing API calls from specific approved integrations like ITTT.
If I had something interesting to say about me, I'd make more conversations about myself. This has yet to be a problem.
I know developers like to put their head in sand and pretend to the contrary, but credentials do matter. Things like security or cloud certifications and security clearances are extremely valuable when looking for employment.

What has helped me the least is code quality and GitHub projects/portfolio. This has only helped me in the added technical experience and the ability to talk through a variety of scenarios during an interview.
The scariest thing is that this happened a quarter of a century ago. Wow, I feel old!

DigiCert's HQ is a 10 minute drive away from the NSA's Utah Data Center. I don't think you you need to be particularly paranoid to think there might be foul play there.
The Trilogue happens today, and this is pretty much going under the radar in mainstream media, so it is very very likely Article 45 comes to be approved as soon as this afternoon :(

I suspect that those working on Windows are a different department entirely from those who handle Azure stuff. So while they're maybe encouraged to use Windows, they tend to favour what works best for them - which in many cases is Linux.
What is the main purpose of this project ?
I can confirm that all future games at CD Projekt RED will be using Unreal Engine.

Unless of course something changes during the development of the next Witcher game and they decide to go back to RED Engine.

Before the change, the Belgian government did not have to choose any CA from "globally trusted". They were one of the globally trusted CAs.

I think the eIDAS is trying to revert the trend and put Europeans back in charge of their CAs. See for instance the eSignature Trusted Lists like this one [1]

I understand and support the intention. European Commission is just too bad at implementing it.

The flip side of this is that at least you make the "I" explicit instead of overgeneralizing yourself. Counterintuitively, rewriting that into a version with less "I" could actually make it more egocentric (:

If it has a ticker and the "product" is free, then you're the product.

But plenty of tech companies exist that make their money by charging for the actual product.
swift has that - it's smart. helps with documentation, and simplifies refactoring. I'm up for any features that reduce changes upstream.
I discovered a weird bug in Safari: expanding ghost margin on element re-render
Interesting research. However, in practical terms, I wouldn't count Kindle as a form of digital availability, unless the book is composed of pure text.

Browsing figures or tables is usually a very bad experience. The figures are usually in low resolution. And the tables are sometime just pictures. Even if the publisher bothered to encode the table as a table, if it spans over one screen size, navigation becomes very hard. Not to mention symbols and formulas.
I can agree with that approach, because I used it to write a C compiler for a fantasy console I made (Vircon32). Since it has a fully custom ISA and set of chips I could not use something like LLVM, so I wrote it more "manually".

The first versions were very barebones (they supported little more than variables, expressions and if/else), but over time I expanded it to support loops, arrays, pointers, structures... nowadays it's still not a full C compiler but it has been good enough for me to write several full games reliably, and even a few people have been using it too.

It depends what you want. Bodybuilding or strength training/powerlifting.
The current involvement of Microsoft with "Linux" is nothing more than good old EEE. Exactly as described in the Halloween Documents.
Can't individuals (on their local systems) just blacklist those root CAs independently of the browsers? I can do that today to trust and distrust any certificate out there. Problem solved right?
This is an incredibly valuable resource for those outside of the US and EU, where the prices for books in English (imported) are extremely high.

I relate very much to this. I have autism and in-person social interactions have been challenging at times to understand. So, I became a student of the human social experience and read a bunch of books about how to speak human, which I think indeed sometimes were more for extroverts.

I have been learning how to gracefully interrupt, how to start conversations, how to have an opinion that is different from the others in the group, etc.

Though in the process I learned a lot about how many peoples' minds work, so that's been useful still.
I think there is also a difference between realistic and believable. The original Half-Life had IMHO more believable leg/feet movement. In HL, the feet were much more "stuck to the ground" compared to most modern games where they just slide around.

It appears much more believable to me than the character pathing demo, where the character moonwalks 1/2 the time. The entire pedal structure is extremely stiff compared to how humans move (feet, thigh and torso can all turn nearly 90 degrees, but they hardly turn at all in the demo). The other demos are better, but their bodies still appear stiff, like they are suffering from hernia.
From the website, it looks like you've put together binary builds, plus an extension store mirroring many Firefox extensions. Is that right?

(I ask because I know what Icecat is -- a free (free software) distribution of Firefox -- but I was not sure what was notable about this site. But I realised that it was source-only and lacked the ecosystem, and you're filling that?)

That seems incredibly useful for lowering the barrier to entry. Great work!
I quit facebook, and voila' my privacy concerns are gone at once.
I also quit whatsapp.
I self host my email since years, so i don't have to use other people computers and let them read my emails.
I also self host an xmpp server for chatting with my friends.

You know it seems to me that people spend a lot of time trying to solve a non existing problem, in this endless entropy.

Just let go, already.
It is indeed obnoxious that the under person keeps picking parts of the conversation and making it about them. They keep repeating things. Ignoring what the others say.
Just as controversial, I use Haskell. Everything has a type, no more interpolation foot-guns, etc. And it pays off in slowly building a library on top. (Much if not all of it applies to Swift as well I believe.)
A big thing I’ve adopted recently is being open with my mental health with my friends (similarly, with a balance; nobody wants to be trauma bombed) which has helped a lot with both strengthening bonds and making sure my friends know when I’m not going to be at my best.

Everyone deals with fucked up brains, and having people to openly talk about it with casually has both helped me deal with my own shit and get through it faster and meant we know each other on a far deeper level.
Cars are a good example because "free" car manufacture is what caused the downfall of Detroit in the US and Coventry in the UK. Suddenly there was an influx of these cheaper cars, and at least in the US there were measures introduced to decrease the viability of imported cars.

Free construction has a similar fate, which is why planning permission is more difficult than it has ever been.

I’ve found that people generally really enjoy talking about themselves but only if you’re truly interested and are drawing connections between yourself and them and their experiences and interests. If you’re merely pumping them for information or listening to their stories about themselves it’s not a connection building experience, it’s just setting them up to self reflect verbally to you.

The key for me is people like to engage in a conversation about themselves, and that requires you to:

* deeply interact with them about what they care about, challenging them m and giving them a chance to defend themselves and their beliefs in a way that is respectful and demonstrates true interest

* weave yourself into the conversation bringing your experiences and thoughts into their conversation about themselves

* try to learn something new from them, and be sure you articulate what you’ve learned clearly

* bring new information to them about the things they care about and get their views on that information

Etc

It’s basically the same as any conversation that’s not a monologue, even a solicited one. They want to feel important and interesting to you, and learn about you at the same time. But in the end you can’t assume they’ll be interested in you at first, so it’s often useful to lead the way by being interested in them. If you are a person who likes to learn, this shouldn’t be hard. Just try to avoid sinking into social anxiety as best you can as that’s when things become forced and weird.
A video delving into the background on this when it featured in episode 1 of Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix.

https://youtu.be/zU-wQVAqQnk?si=WNb0Ht0Q647WfYub

tl;dw The lead investigator who published this new paper has books about Indonesia being Atlantis.

Apart from the bleating from Hancock about how mainstream archeologists are all useless, and the fake reality show drama, the drone visuals of the sites in the Netflix show are nice.
there are slick/slippery food pieces that can be extremely difficult to pick up with chopsticks. better/more stable chopstick skills (like this robot has) definitely help, but still a part of the problem is caused by the indirectly applied force on the two thin sticks. 3 or 4 chopsticks would be improvements.

hmm, just realized, I've been on a kick to learn to do things left-handed so if I lose by abilities with my right hand I'll be ready. Or just becuase it's annoying to asymmetrical. So, I just realized if I learn to use chopsticks with my left hand, I will have 4 chopsticks at my disposal. I will be a force at the dinner table with the ha cheung.
Absolutely. I suppose what I was commenting on was a pattern I’ve observed that goes something like:

1. My videos don’t look good, it must be because I don’t have a good camera/lens
2. I have a good camera lens, but my videos still don’t look good, it must be because I don’t have good lights

And a lot of people just stop there because lighting is a lot more work and a lot less fun (for most people) than buying expensive cameras, but for those that do pursue lighting, there’s a third stage:

3. I’ve got a good camera, good lights AND I know how to use them AND STILL my video looks a bit underwhelming

That’s when you realise location, art, talent etc are massively important too.

Ie you could have a truck full of Arri lights and if you have bad production design and inappropriate talent it will still look bad.
Sure, but single-payer government healthcare has an enormous ability to influence the cost in the first place. Outside of a treatment that demonstrably has a true cost to manufacture (when also accounting for R&D) that is within that ballpark of say, $1MM per dose, I suspect you’d find the government finding ways to bring the cost closer to reality.

Also, rarely is it the case that such expensive treatments are needed by more than a fraction of the population. I’d say there’s an argument to be made that we all aught to be okay with a small fraction of people getting healthcare that far outstrips their contribution via taxes – given that we never know if that one day may be us.
> If you can't figure out why Bitcoin stuck and the others didn't then maybe you should put a little more effort into understanding the differences.

Yeah, inertia, social pressure, and economic incentives. For instance miners are into it for the money, so to them technology doesn't matter. A technologically superior network is of no use to a miner if mining for it makes less money.

> Or just respectfully stay out of these conversations maybe?

Nope.
Consciousness is not especially well-understood, and there's some evidence that even under general anaesthesia, humans experience disconnected consciousness (i.e., consciousness without a perception of environment). It's not unreasonable to think this may be true in pigs, as well.
Also, related, is autism info dumping. (And, similarly, lots of people undiagnosed.)
I've been running support groups for the last two years. While there are a few people who try to take all the space, most people enjoy the explicit permission (consent?) to talk about themselves. When they do, it's wonderful. We need more of it. However, I think the main point of the article isn't about talking less, it's about listening more. Specifically I found people get way more out of it when they aren't just waiting for their turn to speak, but really engaging with other people's stories. Then when it's their turn they haven't been thinking about what to say so what they do say often comes as a surprise to them. That's where the real catharsis happens.
>I personally think there is a reasonable model of the world where customers explicitly pay a hundred dollar fee to have a highest-tier escalation to the office of the CEO/equivalent troubleshooting team and have them take a look at your case, but this is a model that has not yet been developed or in wide use anywhere.

This already exists in a sense. High net worth clients/well established business clients with long term relationships do get priority remediation and troubleshooting. The cost is just much higher than $100.

On the Corbyn thing, it was also revealed in the Labour Leaks that the Guardian were colluding with "Blue Labour" and the party's right wing to get those stories published, along with every single disgusting hit piece on Diane Abbott.
Not sure about at the time, but I have had the opportunity to record onto one of the tape machines they used (they had multiple) and the studio had paid around £30,000 for it.
During my performance review all that mattered to management was what my co-worker said about me but it did not matter at all what I said about them, no matter how nicely I tried to put it. The other guy just had too much influence in the company to be criticized. I did 3 weeks PTO and after it came at the peaceful conclusion that it was time to move on.

12 year olds ovulate and have cycles. Post-menopausal folks don't ovulate, yet can still be horny and still orgasm. So do folks that have had surgery to remove their ovaries. And so do folks that ovulate irregularly. Many women who ovulate regularly aren't all that horny (I've met them, and I'm happily not one of them) and some women go large chunks of their life, having children and jobs and everything, but rarely orgasm. Other women aren't realistically pain-free or worry-free enough without birth control to manage to be horny and/or orgasm. Needless to say: Ovulating doesn't mean more horny and more likely to orgasm.

Hormones/ovulation are only part of the story.
A government prohibiting crypto and/or making it impractical to access isn't evidence of the technology's failure.

To make an analogy, see the laws and prohibitions around encryption. Many countries (USA, France, etc) have had severe restrictions on cryptography over the years; some countries like China still do have these in place, and others like UK are considering new laws that further impede access to encryption. Yet none of these policies are strong evidence of some failure of encryption technology and the ideas it has brought forth.

France, 1999:

> France to end severe encryption restrictions [...] Until 1996 anyone wishing to encrypt any document had to first receive an official sanction or risk fines from F6000 to F500,000 ($1000 to $89,300) and a 2-6 month jail term. Right now, apart from a handful of exemptions, any unauthorised use of encryption software is illegal. Encryption software can be used by anyone, but only if it's very easy to break.
