Actually, W3C published a number of HTML specs under the "HTML 5" moniker beginning in 2014 ([html5]) until 2017 ([html52]) based on (the loose group of people on github mostly working for Google on Chrome called) WHATWG's HTML specs. From 2020 on W3C again attempted to publish WHATWG snapshots, without redaction this time around; the January, 2020 snapshot ([html2001]) is the only one that made it into a W3C recommendation under that process, while later snapshots were rejected and simply no new snapshot was reviewed by W3C, Inc.'s HTML working group since (whose chapter is closing down these days last I checked). [is-this-html6] has the details, but in a nutshell, the so-called "HTML5 outlining algorithm" spec, one of Ian Hickson's innovations going along with "main", "header", and "footer" elements and the concept of sectioning roots that never was implemented/honored in browsers was removed by Steve Faulkner going to great lengths editing the upstream WHATWG HTML spec.

So in this sense, as is argued by the linked blog post, "HTML 5" refers to those W3C specs, while "HTML 2020" could refer to later specs.

I think a simple linux box with docker/kvm/proxmox would be quite sufficient to start with. You can just add bridges between VMs / Containers,...
advance to SDN, setup your own Firewalls and LoadBalancing VMs... and for watching network traffic you can use wireshark/tcpdump.or whatever, you csn even plug in monitoring or tracing proxies in between. When using LXC containers with proxmox the system should be quite sleek.

I would recommend to stay as open source as you can.
(using pfsense, nginx... not commercial firewalls), play around with wireguard,... also use a IaC configuration tool like ansible or pyinfra do configure your stuff from.the beginning (so you can easily reconfigure stuff and make changes in scale)

Have fun!
There was a fantastic benchmark of C and C++ hash tables doing the rounds a few weeks ago, it's pretty fun reading: https://jacksonallan.github.io/c_cpp_hash_tables_benchmark/.

Unless I really didn't want to introduce dependencies, or reduce code size, I think I'd use an off the shelf hash table implementation these days. It's still a fun exercise building your own though.
I think the scandal with truffle is that even refined palates can't find it. Even the most refined restaurants that use actual truffle, are forced to add the fake thing, or most customers won't be satisfied with the dish.

To plop out some food for thought:

Negative attention is better than no attention at all. With all their obsession with backwards compatibility, Perl should take a page from one of Philip K Dick's most bizarre novels, "Counter Clock World", where the Hobart Phase makes entropy runs in reverse, and regress Perl's version number each year. Then they'd be on Perl -20 by now!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Clock_World

>The novel describes a future in which time has started to move in reverse, resulting in the dead reviving in their own graves ("old-birth"), living their lives in reverse, and eventually returning to the womb where they split into an egg and a sperm during copulation between a recipient woman and a man.

[...]

>The Hobart Phase is the new order of life where people rise from the dead and are rejuvenated. Time reversal apparently began in 1986. Other than aging, Hobart Phase resurrection has changed nutritional and excretion processes and associated social taboos. People do not eat, but instead consume "Sogum" anally through a pipe, and later "plop" out food orally, which is done in private, due to its 'shameful' nature. As for smoking, cigarettes are no longer smoked, but the smoke instead blown back into them, making them grow back to normal size (this also clears and freshens the air). "Goodbye" and "hello" have reversed their order within standard greetings, and "food" is used as a drop-in replacement for the expletive "shit". It is stated that Mars colonists do not have the Hobart Phase on their world, and it is limited to Earth, and presumably its lunar colonies as well.
The article noted the CO2 released matches what humans do in 2.5 hours. Yet, some eruptions have lowered temps globally for months/years. The long term effect from the CO2 is real, but also a tiny drop in the bucket compared to humans

Youtube created the problem and now have this tool to help the problem they created. Indeed, it would be better to not have the problem in the first place!

Having some background music, or short clips, is absolutely fair use and from a pragmatic point of view, just common sense. But all the youtube content creators I know are in constant panic of letting even the slightest bit of external sound into their videos. It is completely unnatural.

This was confusing to me as a kid, especially as we entered the 21st. I also still remember learning about the Dutch golden age in elementary school, but can't remember if it was the 1600s or 16th century.

I'm running into a similar issue recently. Turns out that many people saying they are '7 months pregnant' actually mean they are in the 7th month, which starts after 26 weeks (6 months!)

No no, they've got this all wrong. If it's anything like my former boss it's "do what I say, not what I do".
Not sure I quite follow the general thesis of this article. Or at least, it doesn't seem well supported.

The article seems to be trying to argue that company leadership are not the ones responsible for the "evil" things that companies do. But this:

> If you’re an engineer at Google, Facebook, Apple, or Microsoft, it’s always easier to propose architectural changes that don’t hurt the bottom line, or perhaps bolster it by accident. Conversely, if your proposal stands to wipe out a good chunk of revenue, you either self-censor and don’t bring it up — or you end up getting sucked into endless, futile arguments.

strongly implies that company leadership are indeed the ones responsible.

Like, I think what the article is trying to say is that, Manifest V3 was designed due to real-world privacy concerns, not for profit motives. It just happened to get the right amount of support and buy-in from leadership due to being something that -also- aided profit motives.

In other words, when a company leader has a variety of possible projects to invest in, she will naturally tend to invest in the ones with a long-term profit motive for the company. This also necessarily means -not- investing in other, potentially good and helpful and consumer-positive projects, that simply aren't as promising from a profit perspective. This phenomenon is what the article calls the "asymmetry of nudges".

But I guess what I'm failing to grasp is how this means it was the engineers' doing and not leadership. Yes, the engineers came up with the idea. But in this scenario, it seems like the engineers were the ones who were well-meaning, and just doing their jobs. Whereas leadership were the ones chasing dollar signs at all costs. This is precisely in alignment with what most people posit when they say that big corporations are evil, no?
Why are we celebrating proprietary, vendor-specific-extensions in our open source tools that are, by nature, supposed to operate in a vendor-agnostic manner? This flag makes zero sense for anyone who isn't an AWS customer. This is even more insulting considering that "being an AWS customer" is not free (both as in beer and freedom). It really surprises me that this made it into curl.

I've always been a fan of Terraform's provider architecture--all the vendor-specific bits are implemented as third-party plugins that implement a standard API and communicate with Terraform itself in a client-server model.
Here we say something like the "ninteen-hundred-era" for the 1900s, "ninteen-hundred-ten-era", for 1910s, "ninteen-hundred-twenty-era", etc. In writing 1900-era, 1910-era, 1920-era. The most recent decades are referred to with only the "70-era" for the 70s. The word for age/epoch/era in our language is a lot more casual in this setting.

The 20xx vs 200x does indeed leave some room for ambiguity in writing, verbally most people say 20-hundred-era vs 20-null-null-era.

> …when their plans for the product really are the right idea…

And who gets to define what “right” is?
This is probably why we put so much emphasis on precedent over the actual text of the law. Likewise with the bible, perhaps not as much with the christians at least these days, but the Jews have their talmud that interprets the book ad nauseum through centuries of rabbis spitballing their interpretation of the base text, ending up with things like a string hung from telephone polls to represent the walls of the temple to loophole around sabbath laws.
That's a nice production line. It's not unusual. Many of the steps shown, and some of the machinery, are the same as in regular lithium-ion battery manufacturing. Compare with the machinery in [2].

It's not the machinery that's advanced. It's the manufacturing chemistry.
The real breakthrough here is that the ceramic is deposited as a slurry, and through a series of ovens and dehydrators, it becomes the solid electrolyte. There's no high-pressure sintering press step, as there is in the Fraunhofer lab making solid state battery samples.
The process is roll to roll. If that works, the production cost comes way down and the process scales up well.

The next two or three years are going to be very interesting in batteries.

I had this exact topic with an Irish coworker who lives in Germany and has issues to convey the right time. For me as a German „half one“ is half of one so 12:30. Same for „Dreiviertel eins“ -> „threequarter one“ being 12:45 and „Viertel eins“ -> „quarter one“ being 12:15.
To be fair the logic behind this is also under constant confusion as some parts of Germany rather use „viertel vor“ or „viertel nach“ -> „quarter to“ „quarter after“ and have no understanding of the three quarter business.

Taking this as true, wouldn't that mean that a lack of published papers on this topic is light evidence of being in a simulation? Also that it would be fairly dangerous to bring the subject to the public's attention.
I come from Authy and switched due to the desktop apps demise.

2FAS does not have a desktop app and and doesn’t offer self hosting. The browser extension is fine, but was clunky at times. I started disliking using a browser extension as my main thing to manage 2FA. I feel a lot better with the Ente Auth desktop app and mobile apps.

You can actually import stuff to 2FAS as well as Ente Auth, so no problem in trying out both.
The article has that. Google engineers are not going to propose something that will dramatically impact their bottom line. Executives nudge that out of the roadmap.
The story you link is from 2012. This is hardly relevant.
For myself, I’ve never had a reason to put it online.

If you’re using the TV online, then yes, get updates, but if you never let it have network access then this isn’t a deep concern.
No, I'm saying we ignore when it actually started and instead use the normal rules of counting to decide what to call the respective centuries.
Is it really proprietary? We now have a lot of S3 compatible servers, MinIO for example requires this type of signature for requests.
> The temperature in Death Valley National Park could skyrocket to 130 degrees next week, according to the National Weather Service.

130° would cook a steak to medium rare.
"That raises a wider question of life inside and outside the tent. Joe Morrison of Umbra, a radar-satellite startup, recalls being asked by Western officials why they ought to work with commercial unclassified vendors. “I said: access to talent that likes to smoke weed.” He was not joking. Intelligence agencies offer recruits the allure of working for organisations with sparkling histories and a patriotic mission. But waiting a year for security clearance, taking a pay cut and not being able to work remotely can be deal-breakers."

Yup. Legalizing Weed on a federal level would be so good for the talent shortages faced by the glowies that it's reason enough to finally do it. People here have downvoted me in the past for talking about this as though it's not true.

------

I wish that this article had touched on the fact that you too can be what basically amounts to a "private" "business" variant of this which is much more lucrative but without all the nasty clearance nonsense: expert networks/micro-consulting - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/expert-network.asp and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_network

If you have an "insider" view on a market or the mechanations of a company, chances are folks in suits are willing to pay you to talk about this for 300$ an hour minimum.
I think it’s similar to this Sinclair quote:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it”

Even the most well intentioned engineers aren’t going to propose something that will dramatically impact the company bottom line. They are “nudged” (and the roadmap prioritized accordingly) to fall in line with the best interest of the company.

> For the majority of people, storing TOTP in 1Password is well within their risk tolerance. There will always be those of you who will trade that convenience because you want or require the added protection of true 2FA. And to those faithful hardware key crew members: Think of your true second factor as less “extra layer of security,” and more granular protection that will apply only if you’re subject to certain forms of attack.

this is the crux really. Especially when a web based password manager is in use [0], this is not at all within risk tolerance for people really striving for a long-term threat model which they do not need to revisit every couple of years.

Buying multiple hardware tokens and keeping one authenticator/TOTP app on phone is very practical the best you can do and it is secure, loss-proof and will last for a long time. Most services allow you to add multiple types of 2FA devices.

I reject this notion wholeheartedly.

Ian Hickson’s steadfast commitment to web standards and rejection of the xHTML bandwagon who did not understand the difference between catastrophic failure and silent failures and its implications accordingly build the foundation of everything we have now that is called web.

Web Development back then was a total mess and he alone took matters in his hands for the better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Hickson

While others evolved into spec warriors, Hixi put users and usability first by looking beyond specs.

He is an unsung hero whose contributions made the difference. He faced so much hostility, yet was the only one who maintained and understood every aspect of these specs. One after another he won open standard evangelists over.

It is like Linux vs Windows and not Google vs the rest.

What features do you desire out of dataclasses? It’s been fine for the things that I’ve needed out of it.
It is the same for Safari and Firefox. Browsers never honored the “versions” of HTML (2.0, 3.2, 4.0 etc) but implemented features piecemal.

Html 4.0 meticously specified various doctypes and the associated semantics, but no mainstream browser have ever supported any of this.
Reminds me of TinyStories. I wonder if this architecture is better or worse than the ones it tested.
Honest question, how feasible it would be for DuckDB to release a non-columnar version of their DB (or at least make DuckDB a decent choice for a typical web app)? I don't know any other DB that makes installing extensions this easy. The rate at which they're shipping awesome features makes me wonder if they could eventually become a great generic database.

I know, I know, this could just as easily be a double-edged sword. A database should prioritize stability above everything else, but there is no reason why we shouldn't expect them to reach there.
My github is littered with software I built as tools in the moment for myself.

The coolest thing in my opinion was [1] pacman-backup, which is a small (hacky) nodejs script to be able to download packages on one machine and be able to use pacman on another airgapped machine with the downloaded packages.

A couple months after I took down the repository I received a letter from the US where someone was asking me whether the repo is still maintained and whether or not it still works. As it turns out, the people of Cuba use Archlinux, too, and they used my tool to use flash drives to share updates.

I still think this is the coolest little tool I ever built, and I probably have to rewrite it in a more sane language (maybe go?) at some point.

I agree with GP here, even on a city bike the determination water, grease and fine grit have to ingress into totally inaccessible spaces and ruin them from within is relentless. And then it's 10x worse in a mountain bike scenario.
