I don’t see why it has to be due to environmental concern. At the end of the day, the world is complex and if political pressures force countries to adopt green policies, who cares.

That said, I think energy independence is a really major concern but one that few countries actually do something about. I personally believe Merkel shut down the nuclear reactors due to popular appeal more than anything to her own party’s benefit.

Energy independence is extremely important. During the height of winter 2022, Russia was pressuring Europe to abandon Ukraine and with Russia being Europe’s major supplier of natural gas, the upcoming cold winter meant that Russia had a lot of leverage, being able to force Europe to decide between freezing or weakening support for Ukraine. In the end, the US decided to ship an exceptional amount of natural gas to Europe (over 74% of natural gas produced in the US went to Europe during that time!) as a major foreign policy move in pursuit of its main goal of keeping Ukraine independent by ensuring continuing Europe support. Unfortunately, it had a direct cost on me and everyone because my natural gas bill during those months was literally the highest it has ever been.
For local development, I cannot recommend lnav[1] enough. Discovering this tool was a game changer in my day to day life. Adding comments, filtering in/out, prettify and analyse distribution is hard to live without now.

I don't think a browser tool would fit in my workflow. I need to pipe the output to the tool.

That's just the local version of the resource curse. Imagine living in a whole country like that. The world economy is when you look at it rationally completely bonkers, we dig stuff up in one place to burn it elsewhere, we make stuff here to use it thousands of km away. Without all that cheap transportation, which in itself is a big contributor to the emissions we'd be forced to solve our problems locally. All that we do today is to destroy the planet whilst pretend externalizing the costs. But it is one planet, and there is no externalization happening so in the end it all goes down, the only thing we are doing is to lower the lows and to raise the peaks temporarily at the expense of the future.
Gerhard Schröder did not care one bit about nuclear. He was in a coalition with the Greens who wanted to get rid of all nuclear power plants (whose fuel, by the way, mostly comes from Russia if I recall it correctly). He was Putin's best friend, though.
When Merkel took over, she stopped or delayed the closing down of the NPPs only to speed it up again significantly after Fukushima.
For tables my favorite jQuery plug-in is: https://datatables.net/

Have a page with some tables? A few lines of jQuery and you have search sorting etc. It can be customized but defaults are fine.

This is how abstractions and progressive enhancement should be done.
This is totally different from any design stage that is iterative or modular in that way though.

It’s more like that laminar flow demo where you mix the paints in a circle and then unmix them the other way - the patterns are there but the way they emerge cannot be understood due to chaos and complexity.
All android phones can implement whatever menu structure, app icons, and other flavors on top of the OS - Samsungs implementations being notoriously hated.

The fact that these kinds of wrappers exist instead of the most popular wrappers eventually ending up standardized in JS directly is mind-boggling.

> You’re going to use CSS anyway because that’s how things are styled

I am speaking in principle. Im am not even sure if inline styles are correctly referred to as CSS, as there is no cascading and no sheet. Aren’t they just styles?

With templates/components, I do not find myself writing a lot of style code at all, plus they remain more composable. The segregation into CSS, despite its inevitable coupling to the structure of the document, has no value to me.

I also do not buy the adaptation argument. I can adapt in code just fine, in fact it is necessary because proper adaptation needs more than just styling.
For the one that wonder who is using mainframes nowadays: most banks, insurances, airlines, grocery stores, public administrations still have something running on a mainframe, maybe in their datacenter or in some outsourcer one's.

From a technical point of view, mainframes are really awesome and many things people speak about today thinking it's something revolutionary were already a thing in the 90s (or even earlier) on the mainframe, for e.g. "serverless".

But basically no one is starting a new business on a mainframe, and all sells IBM is still doing are on existing clients.

It's a slowly dying tech.

Ah yes, because everything that doesn't solve every problem imaginable is instantly worthless.

Sorry for the snark, but I'm getting tired of the pervasive cynicism. The situation got so much better since tpm and fde got commonplace. Laptop thieves no longer get your data, people no longer unwillingly expose their data when they sell their used disks, boot loader attacks got from easy to almost impossible.

Yes, the CIA will still be able to read your disk, and maybe even just a motivated hacker. But that doesn't mean everything is useless.
It is a crime that it's not nuclear that is ascending (and whichever group is responsible for this should get jail time without parole).

One would have to come up with some proxy-metrics to stand in (one shouldn't use explicit axis labels though, that would destroy the nice vibe of having such a plot). There might be dozens of plausible versions of such a plot that might even differ enough to allow any claim one wants.
It’s interesting how context can change the perception of a system. Technologically, the Shed isn’t anything special - it’s more or less the same as a typical retractable roof at a sports stadium - but it feels novel because it’s on the ground right in front of you and not tucked away hundreds of feet above.
The 'nuclear exit' was officially started in the early 2000s under Schroeder (in coalition with the Greens), then the Merkel government actually extended the nuclear power plant lifetime again, then Fukushima happened and the lifetime extension was rolled back on pressure from the public.

While Schroeder might have had his own interests in mind and eventually became Putin's useful idiot, the shutdown of nuclear power was a popular opinion in Germany at least as far back as Chernobyl and then reinforced by Fukushima.

A reliable career-advancing publication in the life sciences often follows the pattern: Look, everybody! We've found a genetic marker for X! Here's how we sequenced the organisms, and here are the stats we ran to identify this particular gene or constellation of genes.

This was exciting research in the 90s, but now gene sequencing is routine and the results just get added to the pile. It's scientific chum.

This book's authors, the review author, and the editors at Nature who decided this review was worth publishing and under what headline, would like to coordinate a shift away from this kind of low-impact publication.

To make significant contribution, you can't just identify a marker for cancer or dinosaurism: you need to actually attempt to cure cancer or turn people into dinosaurs.
It's been so inspiring to see him and his crew of hackers build a new, independent browser from scratch. I must admit I didn't think it was possible on this small scale in terms of man hours and funding.

However, the thought has also crossed my mind if we're finally seeing fruits of browsers being better standardized on "95%"+ of the popular features -- and if writing a browser today is in fact easier than both writing AND maintaining a browser a decade back. While the web is of course still evolving, it feels more "settled in" than 10-15 years ago.

There's also the factor that past developers didn't have the more complete roadmap set when they initially planned browser design, but now we have huge amounts of web standards already there AND also know how popular they got over time i.e. what to prioritize to support a modern web. One might superficially think there's simply more of everything, but I also think ideas that can be discarded. Just imagine that Internet Explorer had XSLT support, and FTP was common once upon a time!

It would be interesting to hear more about their own thoughts on these topics!

Edit: My bad; XSLT is still commonly supported and by all major browsers but a rarely used feature and stuck in limbo in XSLT 1.0. So it's probably among those things that can be safely omitted for quite some time.
For many generations now, you can't run Linux on bare metal anymore, it has to be inside an LPAR. I think this is true for z/VM and the other operating systems as well.
Exactly one year ago Seymour Hersh wrote about the pipeline being blown up by the US. Today he posted this follow up: https://open.substack.com/pub/seymourhersh/p/the-nord-stream...

Neither the software nor the software engineers were the ones who destroyed people's lives. That's on managers of the software company, managers of the postal service, prosecutors and judges who all conspired to hide the truth and condemn innocent people. I believe software engineers actually testified that the software had bugs, and the prosecutors hid that particular testimony.

In 2018 NTSB issued a report (https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/...) listing 17 incidents where CVR was lost due to the recording not being turned off after the incident.

1/3 of the web does not mean much. Are you referring to web usage or just the number of web pages?
Technically that was co-generation, you got 80 watts of heat to go with it which was lost during the summer (or caused your AC to have to work even harder!) and in the winter you now you have to generate that 80 watts using some other method.

Compared to a lot of other new browser engines, this one actually renders a lot of web content decently. And if you follow their update videos, they improve their coverage really quickly.

Ladybird also comes with their LibJS runtime, which has good coverage of the JS standards and even manages to implement some new features before the big browsers all get to it.
Once again, doing the work means nothing if you're not working smart. Swift is a very good businessman, and only a mediocre singer/songwriter. She works like hell, and works smart.

99.lotsofnines% of people are simply not willing to do what it takes.

The success of the Rolling Stones is no accident, either. Mick Jagger relentlessly studied successful artists and emulated what worked for them. Freddie Mercury's success is the same. KISS is not a very good band, but they are very very good businessmen and showmen.

This kind of work is not a guarantee of success, but not doing the work is a guarantee of not being very successful. You see this in the one-hit wonders. You could say they got lucky, because they were unable to deliver again.
Not necessarily true at this point for new projects. IRENA indicates wind projects commissioned globally in 2022 had a weighted average LCOE of $33 USD/MWh. Hydropower projects over the last decade or so (2010–2021) were around $39 to $48. (2022 average was $61, but obviously recent market conditions were far from normal)

Nuclear powerplants exploding have a tendency to make pretty large swaths of land uninhabitable for decades or centuries, in a densely populated country like Germany that's a bit of a problem.
I disagree. Is locking your front door worthless security theater if a thief can just smash the window? Some actors are more opportunistic (or stupid) than others and not everyone can have (or wants) bars across their windows.

Similarly, BitLocker with a TPM may not be impenetrable, but it does stop a kid from booting Hiren's and running ntpasswd to change the local admin password and install Roblox on mom's work laptop. Or the employee dumping the SSD of company data before leaving for a competitor.

Not every security measure needs to address every threat entirely. This is why we have risk assessments and defense in depth. This exploit may change some people's calculations or it may still be worthwhile based on the balance of security to convenience. But that isn't worthless.
This usually shows up in the UEFI settings, where you can also toggle it on or off.
Usually the Go team scrapes from GitHub and open source programs how people use something before breaking them; I suspect they found little usage of { and } in HTTP handler paths. They also provide a way of opting out the new behaviour, so they don't force you to change anything in your code (but yes, it does require you to set a new env var).

The change to the for loop semantic is another example in this release; it effectively is a breaking change.

All Go programs continue to compile and run, though with minor behavioural changes. I think Go took a pragmatic approach, and that was one of the reasons for its success.

Excel maintains a recovery file of your open document. If it crashes, you can reopen Excel and will likely recover most if not all of your data. You are far more likely to corrupt data by keeping the files (primary and recovery) open in a program that is in a known-bad state.

If software crashes, it can simply be rebooted. I can't get the actual requirements for airplane control softward without paying hundreds of dollars. However, I would imagine that a reboot finish quicker than a pilot could open the manual to the "negative altitude indication" section.
A 50KWh capacity battery will last a very energy efficient house < 5 days.

For grid independence you need to have either multiple redundant sources of energy and a backup generator (which consumes a fossil fuels), an absolutely massive battery (far larger than is economically feasible) or a grid hookup.

I've reduced the energy consumption of our house about as far as it will go without seriously affecting quality of life, and yet it won't go down below 500 W draw on average, so about 10 KWh on a daily basis. On an annual basis we're 7.7MWh surplus but in winter we are net consumers. Starting March 1st we are in the plus on a daily basis and we could - if we had a battery, which we do not - be neutral. But we're still heating with gas and that leaves four months to cover or about 120 days.

During those 120 days we consume 4 times 350 KWh, so 1400 KWh or thereabouts and produce about 700 KWh with the biggest gap near the solstice in December (due to the very short days). It is simply not feasible to bridge that gap with batteries and we also consume about 450 cubic meters of gas per month in that period, which for a house this type and size is actually pretty good.

So I don't buy the 'personal autonomy' argument unless you want to cut your winter consumption to ~30% of your summer consumption, set your house to 14 degree room temperature (in many households that would be grounds for divorce) or get a 500 KWh battery system, which would set you back approximately $300K at the best prices that I can find today. I don't think that's worth it.

Fraud protection, mostly.

If someone steals your debit card and spends all your money, you might very well be fucked.

But (in America) if someone steals your credit card and spends a bunch of money, they technically stole money from the bank, so it's the bank that might be fucked, not you. All you have to say is "yeah that wasn't me" and the bank reverses the transaction.

If you're blatantly abusing this the bank will end their relationship with you and cancel your card, but that's pretty much worst case scenario, and you won't be on the hook for anything. And they obviously make enough money off of people who carry a balance and pay interest that they still come out way ahead.
Apple to EU: "Go fuck yourself"

Does the pattern of armed robberies at daylight correlate with the pattern of gun ownership across the US, or no?

If not, the causality may be a lot more complicated. People don't turn into gangsters just by owning more guns. As you mention, USA is the most armed country in the world, which means that Latin American countries have, theoretically, fewer guns than the US. But they have a lot more gang violence, so much more that LatAm cities fill the "top 50 violent cities in the world" category, with barely any representants from the Old World (AFAIK only Johannesburg is up to par).
Because then they would lose their pithy advertising slogan. Minor or not, it is a non-compatible change.
