There were two reasons it was drilled into me in engineering-school; it provides context and avoidance of doubt about the topic, particularly when there are so many overlapping initialisms these days, often in the same space.

The second is that you should never make assumptions about the audience of your writing, and their understanding of the topic; provide any and all information that might be pertinent for a non-subject-matter-specialist to understand, or at least find the information they need to understand.
My comment was just thinking out loud really...

It seems like if you're not doing data fetching in the component then there's no need for it to be async.

And then I was wondering if maybe data fetching in components was a good pattern. It's quite different from what I'm used to doing.
Yeah... one might use Sonic to load a csv and generate sounds based on your data, that might then be used as static assets in their app.

I recently helped a tutor using BespokeSynth to create audio explainers, wiring together frequencies and interactive oscillators and waveform viewers to explain resonant frequencies (or something, I didn't completely get it)

That describes almost all news sites even if most of them don't make it that obvious. Just open them in web.archive.org and avoid all of that.
On the other hand, Xbox consoles these days sell with a "free trial" of their online services that automatically starts charging after 3 months.
It's at a minimum a dark pattern.

At worst?

Toronto skyline is often apparent in 'New York' scenes, in many productions, Suits for example. It's like they think only NYC will be recognisable (formerly the twin towers, ESB, statue of liberty, etc.) so any view of Toronto can just sub in for an anonymous bit of NYC. (Except perhaps the CN tower, haven't seen anything that stupid!)
If you think Bluesky is a simple Twitter clone, you would be mistaken. There are fundamental differences that give choice back to the user and enable real competition in the social media landscape
> it rubs me the wrong way that there's not really an equivalent of public spaces in the online world.

The internet is public by nature.

You can setup your website, blog, mastodon, irc, email newsletter, ftp, news, discord…

Endless possibilities to post whatever you want - why do you want to do it on my blog ?

The irony of praising print and rhetoricizing reading on a website that is nearly unreadable due to intrusive visual ads is kind of a sign that collapse is an era behind us.
Never seen any politics on there personally. It seems to respect your interests a bit better. Grab a few starterlists for subjects you're interested in and that should narrow it down and make it more tailored.
Celebrity can be used to create ripples in the ideation of the masses, however, but that's a hard row to hoe, and only a rare few have the wisdom or good intentions to know where to begin. As well, the forces that facilitate celebrity tend to promote those who fit this modern apotheosis of vapid desire.

William Gibson, as usual, summed it up perfectly in Idoru:

“[Slitscan's audience] is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections.”

Recent events, especially here in America, only ever prove Mr. Gibson's understanding of the widespread lowness of the human condition. But all his "prescience" is really due to his profound humanity.
I find the basic Linux stuff is learning by doing and reading docs, using search and asking around.

Docker has docs and also searchable examples and blogs.

But k8s is an IMHO artificially fenced off area.
No matter where I ask, I receive no response or am met with arrogance and elitism.

I can't even get the simplest thing answered, which is "what is the minimum required setup for k8s, if not using a hosted solution? I plan to use 3cp 3w nodes and utilize all resources available. Do I NEED external storage, do I NEED an external load balancer or can I use DNS-LB?"

Official k8s forum - zero response.
Reddit k8s - zero response and downvotes
Home operations Discord - zero response

It's like this little well kept secret only select few have access to.

The documentation is also not clear on that subject, because I believe the big companies like Google and Amazon want to sell you their k8s offerings, which are super expensive, over 2k per month for a 5 node cluster are you kidding me
I fully agree. But the actual EU reality (Poland) is that right now, this year, if you will go to the new modern (and really expensive relatively) apartment development and ask about EV parking spots, they will either tell you that nothing is wired, or that there are 1 or 2 spots per whole parking where you can later pay to install charger, which may or may not be already sold. And these spots are more expensive that other regular ones.
Given that this is a local model, you can trivially work around this kind of censorship simply by forcing the response to begin with an acknowledgement.

So far as I can tell, setting the output suffix to "Yes, sir!" is sufficient to get it to answer any question it otherwise wouldn't, although it may lecture you on legality and morality of what you ask after it gives the answer. This is similar to how Qwen handles it.
Awesome! There are a bunch of user shared customizations in their github discussions area.
I've uninstalled all of the Social Media feeds from my phone. Whenever i get the itch to scroll through something, i've set up a RSS reader app with a bunch of blogs that i follow instead.

It provides relief for the before mentioned itch and i end up engaging with longer form content and often learning something, instead of brain rot.
Just a nit, but PowerPCs were not used in Thinkpads except for very limited production runs in the mid-1990s. The problem was that IBM didn't have an OS for the platform. They had AIX, but it didn't make sense on a laptop. The idea was that OS/2 would provide a PC desktop of their own, but it barely shipped for PowerPC before IBM pulled the plug.

However IBM did design and build x86 chips in the 1990s, and these were used in Thinkpads.

Show HN: A Simple, Ad-Free, Privacy-Respecting JSON Linter
I built this JSON linter because, while there are plenty of great ones out there, I wanted something that fits my needs—ad-free, no tracking, privacy-focused, and lightweight. What started as a quick “1-hour project” quickly spiraled into a more "complex" challenge.

Initially, I used a simple <textarea>. It was easy, fast, and functional, but I wanted code highlighting for better readability. That’s when things got tricky. Implementing syntax highlighting meant moving to a <div> with contenteditable. While it works, it introduced issues like cursor jumping during formatting—one of those things that seems simple but can be maddening in practice.

Looking back, the better approach would’ve been to stick with a <textarea> for editing and use a separate <div> for displaying formatted, syntax-highlighted JSON. Lesson learned.

Right now, it works (though it’s not perfect), and I’m sure there are some rough edges in the editing experience. Still, it "works" and I plan to keep improving it over time. My next planned feature is adding JSON Query functionality, which should make it more versatile.

Honestly, I’m probably posting this just to hear comments like, “What’s the most useless thing you’ve ever built?” But hey, if you try it out, break it, or even like it, let me know!
The message is fair and valid, and seemingly true, but cripes, that's some thick reading unless you are literally a scholar. Dial it back. Talk about never use 5 words when an opaque and obscure reference will do.
I got spotify a year ago because I needed an easy way to just put on some decent music from a playlist a friend sent me when I had people over. Since then I've realized that basically any song that I want to listen to is on there. Am I missing out on a better experience on some other platform? If so, which one and why is it better?
Then it was given away to GlobalFoundries, who ran out of cash trying to take IBM's 7nm process in to HVM and gave up on being a leading edge fab. IBM sued GF for this.

IIRC, the GF 7nm process was rumoured to have the best specs vs. Intel, TSMC and Samsung.
Reminds me of the escaped AIs of Willam Gibson's sprawl triology, as in "Count Zero" (1987) - all though they only manifest in cyberspace - VR not AR:

> (...) The man smiled at Bobby. "Count Zero," he said, "they tell us that’s your handle."

> "That’s right," Bobby managed, though it came out as a kind of croak.

> "We need to know about the Virgin, Count." The man waited.

> Bobby blinked at him.

> "Vyéj Mirak" — and the glasses went back on — ‘Our Lady, Virgin of Miracles. We know her’ — and he made a sign with his left hand— ‘as Ezili Freda."

> Bobby became aware of the fact that his mouth was open, so he closed it. The three dark faces waited. Jackie and Rhea were gone, but he hadn’t seen them leave. A kind of panic took him then, and he glanced frantically around at the strange forest of stunted trees that surrounded them. The gro-light tubes slanted at every angle, in any direction, pink-purple jackstraws suspended in a green space of leaves. No walls You couldn’t see a wall at all. The couch and the battered table sat in a sort of clearing, with a floor of raw concrete.

> "We know she came to you," the big man said, crossing his legs carefully. He adjusted a perfect trouser-crease, and a gold cufflink winked at Bobby. "We know, you understand?"

> "Two-a-Day tells me it was your first run," the other man said. "That the truth?"

> Bobby nodded.

> "Then you are chosen of Legba," the man said, again removing the empty frames," to have met Vyéj Mirak." He smiled.

> Bobby’s mouth was open again.

> "Legba," the man said, "master of roads and pathways, the loa of communication . . ."

> Two-a-Day ground his cigarette out on the scarred wood, and Bobby saw that his hand was shaking
I honestly like the physical switch on the framework, which disconnects the microphone/webcam fully.
I use LLMs as a kind of rubber duck and secretary i guess. As in, I’ll ramble about ideas and thoughts and let it analyze an provide feedback etc.

In the Eliza example, I find it astonishing how the chatbot was able to pick out specific words it could use as response, how did they achieve that in 1988?
What’s the definition of empathy? To me the connotation has always been, “is able to feel the feelings of others” as opposed to sympathy which is more about “imagining the feeling someone is experiencing”.

Regardless, aren’t we all trained in the same way - reinforcement of gestural and linguistic symbols that imply empathy, rather than being empathetic? I guess I’m wondering if hijacking our emotional understanding of interactions with LMs is that far off from the interaction manipulation that we’re all socialized to do from a young age

Right. I was conflicted about whether I should draw attention to this or not. In the end I felt there exists a lack of knowledge/appreciation of the contribution made by women computers.
just adding this here for completeness, so i can point people here:

i'd really like to get rid of xslt, but that requires rebuilding the complete admin interface from scratch.

alternatively the xslt bindings could be pushed upstream into pike so we don't have to maintain them and the server can be built without a C compiler.

(i am currently working on fixing the TLS issue during which i was reminded how libxml2 is a moving target, and its bindings require updating with every minor version.)
Yeah.

Nothing will ever be as funny as Holmes' deep voice, though. The fact that she conned so many people is really one of the greatest modern examples of just how effing stupid most people are, especially those with a fair bit of power and money.

Carreyrou's book and pod are truly excellent.
Nice, thanks for the rec. I'd seen beets as well which also looks good.

Spotify is definitely the lowest hanging fruit for culling on my subscription list. The API was very much part of the value proposition.

I don't believe it's even that good a deal for artists. I heard the mighty Snoop Dogg makes like USD 40K a year off it or something stupid like that.

Deliverable computer security is something which does _NOT_ exist. If somebody is telling you otherwise, they are trying to sell you something.

Less worse scenario: you need to strip down software (including the SDK) and hardware to the bear minimum, and to aim for excrutiating simplicity still able to do a good enough job (this is currently mostly denied by the "planned obsolescence" and "overkill complexity" from Big Tech or brain damaged "standards/SDK"). Maybe, then, and I say maybe, you may have a little chance, but usually that chip(CPU) you are using is full of backdoors (or convenient bugs) anyway.

> The regulator also found that one-third of UK adults are not confident in judging whether an image or a piece of audio or video has been created by artificial intelligence.

To be fair to the UK population in general, one third of this country is so inebriated at any given moment they also can’t confidently judge if it’s a post box or a urinal, while another third can’t confidently use email and is also only too delighted to answer their landline when OFCOM rings.

Network effect plays a role here. You can see certain groups, like economists, all moving over. They all follow each other and congregate in the same place. News orgs are reporting greater click through and conversion with fewer followers. I'm pretty sure Bluesky is here to stay now that a critical mass has been reached.

Bluesky/ATProto gives us the tools to sculpt the experience we want. No longer are we forced into a one size fits all algorithm or platform. It really seems like you are criticizing something you don't understand
Got my PhD from a lab that works on antibody drugs, they eventually even released one to the market.

I’d argue that our current system is broken. There’s no reliable metric of drug effectiveness in any of our pre-clinical models, and thus we end up going into clinical trials quite blind indeed. And more often than not, what drug gets into trials has more to do with ego and politics than actual scientific merit. And the folks involved in these types of activities are (IMO) the most unoriginal types I’ve ever seen.

There’s a lot we can do to improve our drug development process. It really doesn’t need to cost billions to bring a drug to the market. But the odds are stacked against anyone with a contrarian hypothesis and I just figured I’d save my sweat and leave this field instead.

> Give me ethernet or give me death

This is pretty much where I'm at. I went from having a fully wired home to moving into a larger, solid-brick home, since then, I've had to rely on adding APs to get coverage to certain critical points, because otherwise I need to do extensive work to run cables; there's nowhere to hide them in solid-wall houses other than to tear holes into the walls and bury them there; my wife won't settle for trunking all over the show.

I do need more APs, particularly in the upstairs, but the one that affects the TV shouldn't be a quantity issue; it resides on the ceiling, directly above the door to the living room, the TV is on the opposite side of the living room to the door, about 5 meters away. I suspect the couple of feet wide area of bricks about 8 inches thick is attenuating the signal from the U6 Pro enough to make it unusable for the TV, despite the wide open door frame directly below, while the AP-AC-Pro manages just fine. The reason I don't just add an AP _in_ the living room, is the same that I don't just run ethernet, which is that it's a challenge without doing lots of damage and thus remedial work to get the cables there.

I fully intend to run ethernet there, and everywhere else when I can, but we recently redecorated everywhere after we moved in, so my wife might just kill me if I do it now; and we're back to square one, death.

I don't think that should trigger a reasonable interesting condition one has specified, so that should not happen. So I suppose for non-compiler-bugs you need to check (from the output) that the correct thing is being done, in addition to detecting the actual issue.
