Hidden In HTML: Parsing Page Layouts. 2.9B Web Page Analysis
This is an analysis I put together of the November 2024 Common Crawl HTML/Warc dataset. I counted HTML tag attribute values to identify the most common values per tag+attribute combination. I've done this analysis several times over the years and have found it to be invaluable when it comes to writing parsers.

The post is interactive, allowing you to search on the 500 most common values per tag+attribute. There is also a free SQLite database available for download of the top 1,000 values per tag+attribute.

This is the first post of an 8-part series that builds toward writing an article parser, the lessons from which can be transferred to writing any other kind of parser you might want.

This is my first time to publish content like this and I'd love any feedback you might have.
Recession has a clear cut, metric-based formal definition. Governments acknowledge them when they happen because it's a black and white situation.

GPD growth is good, personal consumption is up, and businesses are continuing their extremely large investments in durable goods. The economy is, by the numbers, doing extremely well. Inflation is down to normal.

Even economic sentiment is okay. People rate their personal financial situation as roughly as good as it was pre-pandemic as well.

> I don't see any way for Tesla to survive as a company unless they can completely disconnect from Musk. In urban/leftist/yuppie circles- the only people that actually buy high end EVs new- it is socially taboo now to buy a Tesla, and the people already owning them are embarrassed, and hoping to get rid of them soon. The cybertruck is especially taboo and called names like the "incElCamino."

If you come to the richer southern cities the picture is very different than what you describe. I'm living in Nashville TN right now and there are Teslas everywhere. Many Republicans proudly have big lifted pickup trucks and Teslas (and a LOT of cybertrucks).

So while becoming an outspoken culture warrior may have cost Musk's brand some support in blue states, it has dramatically increased its appeal in "real America" where people love showing off their masculinity through their vehicles.

I suspect the Cybertruck will dominate the legacy auto makers in the EV pickup segment.
We've also seen this in the dependency management ecosystem.

For cases like this, it's better to install the "protonmail bridge" application and use whichever local mail client you like. I have Thunderbird and a local Postfix relay aimed at my bridge and it works very well and certainly doesn't need javascript.

That's orthogonal to my statement. They still recognize that male hijra are not women. Nobody in history has said "I would like a wife to start a family, I will go find a nice hijra", and if they did, they were quickly disabused of the viability of that plan.
1. Yep, your hypothesis seems likely. Consumer gmail addresses can't be used again after they are deleted, but it seems in Workspace orgs they can be reused/reassigned after 20 days:

If services are not respecting the `sub` claim in this case, then they are giving the new Google account access to the old account's data. Companies probably wouldn't complain about this because they think it is the expected/reasonable behavior. Also it's likely that in many scenarios it is the same human behind the different accounts, e.g. if they leave a company then return.
I was in the city a few months ago and needed to use the bathroom. I visited 3 starbucks and they all had their bathrooms closed. Not just 'you need the code' but full on closed. What kind of coffee shop that's trying to encourage people to hang out more closes their bathrooms?

And this is why I don't buy starbucks anymore; they think only of themselves and nothing of the customer experience.
I am getting those.
EU is not the US buddy. There's no 1st amendment here, and some speech can be considered a illegal.

Case in point, I am pretty sure that certain Nazi talking points, such as Holocaust denial is illegal in Germany.
Actual liberals aren't really a prominent political force at this point. The culture war is between conservatives and progressives, and, contrary to popular opinion, the latter is not synonymous with liberalism - indeed, on some issues (freedom of speech being a prominent one) they are in opposition.
When my life was falling apart and I was trying to fix my relationship with my ex she dictated that we spend 'quality' time together which meant watching horrible reality TV while she was on insta on her phone.

Out of mind numbing boredom I made a system for SEO spam websites during this time. I would take expiring domain names (so names someone had gone to the trouble to research but been unable to make work) parse out keywords and lookup popularity for them, lookup ad rates for them, and spit out names to buy and make a SEO spam site for (goal was 300 websites making $1 a day or $100k a year), or good names to domain squat. If a domain turned out bunk I threw my link-spam-network software on it to provide linkbacks to my money/new sites. I made around 30k profit a year plus another $5k selling domain names doing this before life fell further apart and it rotted on the vine. I was really tempted to sell it as a package but could never bring myself that low even deep in addiction. Plus Google started cracking down on that trash.

I still think the concept of 300 somethings (though please not SEO spam) that make a dollar a day is viable for us here though because we're in the unique position where the creation/maintenance is just a matter of our spare time since we can do the specs/design/coding/administration/maintenance/etc ourselves. It seems like there are still people doing this. Look at new car model forums. Everytime a new car models is released there's a rush to create discussion forums for that model with people hoping Google blesses theirs so they can add it to their portfolio of money maker car model forums. Maybe the secret sauce is forcing yourself to watch reality TV until your mind rebels and says 'fine, grab me the laptop and we'll make mind numbingly boring software products as that is at least better than watching this'.

Edit: To clarify this wasn't my income source this was just what I did while being forced to watch 'The Kardashians' for bonding time.
I vaguely learned lisp years ago and i already prefer the guile scheme over systemd - guile correctly takes an argument vector instead of a command string which needs to be split using some obtuse shell quoting rules.

Having the shell taken out of the equation is what Lennart promised but never delivered.
Interesting. Could you give a brief description of how you got that number? Eg. what factors were considered.
The one person I know who worked there was very disillusioned.
The internet was once made up of curious, ambitious, discerning types. Early adopters. We have to put that mental model behind us.

As more of the world came online, the population of the internet has become made up of mostly passive and mediocre people. The MySpace to Facebook type of migration won't happen anymore. Too many people aren't aware or don't care.
Firing an arbitrary percentage as opposed to grading to a standard is not.
Dang. I wanted to see what "the youths" were watching so I scrubbed through a couple of those videos.

The people in them make me feel like the world's most accomplished actor.
I would imagine a lot of the firings are new hires, or people being replaced by new people who are a better fit; so it really depends on the rate your company is growing.

If the company is growing 10% a year and firing 5% a year you're still growing significantly.

So I think it's pretty important to look at the rate of hiring, not just the rate of firing.
I've watched a few of his videos, they're pretty good.

Reversible Computing, Tommaso Toffoli:

https://publications.csail.mit.edu/lcs/pubs/pdf/MIT-LCS-TM-1...

>Abstract. The theory of reversible computing is based on invertible primitives
and composition rules that preserve invertibility. With these constraints, one can still
satisfactorily deal with both functional and structural aspects of computing processes;
at the same time, one attains a closer correspondence between the behavior of abstract
computing systems and the microscopic physical laws (which are presumed to be
strictly reversible) that underly any concrete implementation of such systems.
According to a physical interpretation, the central result of this paper is that it
is ideally possible to build sequential circuits with zero internal power dissipation.

Reversible computing:

https://web.eecs.utk.edu/~bmaclenn/Classes/494-594-UC-F17/ha...

>In 1970s, Ed Fredkin, Tommaso Toffoli, and others at MIT formed the Information Mechanics group to the study the physics of information. As we will
see, Fredkin and Toffoli described computation with idealized, perfectly elastic balls reflecting o↵ barriers. The balls have minimum dissipation and are
propelled by (conserved) momentum. The model is unrealistic but illustrates
many ideas of reversible computing. Later we will look at it briefly (Sec. C.7).

>They also suggested a more realistic implementation involving “charge packets bouncing around along inductive paths between capacitors.” Richard
Feynman (Caltech) had been interacting with Information Mechanics group,
and developed “a full quantum model of a serial reversible computer” (Feynman, 1986).

>Charles Bennett (1973) (IBM) first showed how any computation could be
embedded in an equivalent reversible computation. Rather than discarding
information (and hence dissipating energy), it keeps it around so it can later
“decompute” it back to its initial state. This was a theoretical proof based on
Turing machines, and did not address the issue of physical implementation. [...]

I don't think most wealthy people swim in their cash like Scrooge McDuck. They invest their cash in public and private companies which often generates plenty of capital 'flow'.
This is incredible, I imagine this kind of work is being performed all of the time. I wonder how many other similar infections and botnets are being battled right now.
If anyone has trouble focusing on personal projects at home, I've found Focusmate (www.focusmate.com) to be very handy. You hop on a scheduled google-meets style video call with someone random, and then just work. You talk very briefly at the beginning to tell each other what you're working on and then you both mute yourselves for 25 - 75 minutes.

It's weird, I've found it really ticks my brain into productivity mode.
I understand that you made up your 20%, but at that point it feels like you are blaming bad team fit or environment as bad hires, and this fitting can change over time as bad politics or shifts to different goals happen.
That's a fair comment, maybe OP should change the Open Source part after all, even if the license is changed.

I mean, $100 a year is 15% of my bill - I might have to look into the data sharing stuff. I guess if you're already burning money on comprehensive and large deductibles that might not matter as much to you.

Rest of your analysis seems spot on. Important to note however that getting in accidents already increases your premiums - I don't really think the data sharing is gonna change that much.
This is a just-so rationalization, which feels good, but people have looked into many of these, and they don't really hold up.

The most common one is that poor white people are overwhelmingly voting for Trump. The average household income of a Trump voter is something like 75k - hardly poor (depending where you're at).

Anecdata: I know plenty of Trump voters who are very smart. A friend's dad has multiple PhD's and accomplished career as a theoretical physicist. He's also pretty racist. My father is a retired engineer, and doesn't like Trump, but keeps voting for him, because the Democrats are on the wrong side of issues he cares about. (Gun control, namely)

The reality is likely to be - they have used the mountains of publicly available data, and fine tuned their messages with the help of a highly partisan rage-baiting media ecosystem to capture more voters. It seems to me, the right wing is more organized, and manages to keep their voters and party members more aligned and on-message. They also have a much more voracious appetite for fighting dirty (rough talk, conspiracy theories, whisper campaigns, untraceable mailers giving wrong polling place info to black communities, etc.) - something the Democrats do not have the stomach for.

How to Succeed in Mrbeast Production (Leak)
In general, some people want ghost-workers for working visa scams.

i.e. some desperate individuals pay to not even work in a country to get around immigration rules.

This scam was outed by some undercover East Indian journalists. Its gross because cons exploit people, and suppress domestic economic reality by bidding down wage rates. Nothing was done about this by the way... nothing... =3
Someone I was talking to made up the term "targeted recession" to describe it as some communities are definitely experiencing negative growth while overall metrics seem positive.
The system is integrated into Guix, so makes sense to use s-exp for the configuration.

Systemd has done things that previously were trivial very difficult. I would like to know how it fares in that arena. The syntax can just be learned.
as another commenter said, they lose money on the policies and paying out. they make money on investing the policies before they have to pay out the claims.
> I've never, ever clicked on short videos with girls in skimpy clothing doing something "based" and yet it keeps trying to hook me up on those. Even after clicking around very different videos (infosec, low level code, workshop). It's like it refuses to learn what I want to watch.

This has made me realize that YouTube is like the leading platform for piracy and porn. If you have any interest in sports the frontpage will be littered with pirated livestreams from channels like ESPN, and while they may not be explicitly pornography, the skimpy girl content is basically that.

Trump was/is the same. At one point they tried powerpoint like presentations with graphics. I don't know about Reagan, but from my personal experience with dyslexia (though I love to read--and dislike videos--even as it takes forever), I think Trump may be dyslexic. I would not be surprised if Reagan were too. I only wish it was more public (if true). It would help eliminate the stigma and eliminate most of the cheap shots about how he can't read or spell and how his speech is "simple" (as he has trouble pronouncing more complex words). Things that those of us with dyslexia can have problems with also. *I did not vote for him
I just received the same email. It says it's a money request from Just World Books, LLC. for $399.99. Just another scam attempt.
...has never been the rule (at least for the US), just a layman rule-of-thumb that kind of sort of works a lot of the time. It's actually determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). They started relying on NBER back in the 80s, IIRC.
Vancouver's population has been steadily increasing. Maybe it's catering to different people than before, but it's not fewer.
If you or anyone else is interested in the idea, you really should join an existing union or form a union in your workplace. A strike, even a small strike, requires that almost all of your coworkers are organized and in agreement. A strike is the last negotiating tactic when all previous negotiations have failed. You need to already be negotiating collectively before calling a strike.

If you are interested in organizing, I recommend reaching out to CWA:

That's a bubble thing. The vast majority of serious software engineering is done in OOP. Java, C# and C++ alone are more than half the market, and then you have Python, Ruby, Kotlin and many more. Even JS has moved largely to (bastard) classes.

Then you have data (growing above average), scripting and partially frontend that are done differently, but they are still a minority of the job market.
Not only the article doesn't answer the question in the title, it doesn't even attempt to support the premise. Instead, it's just a book ad.

Companies dirty secret: Job postings are an invaluable signal generator for companies. Knowing how much demand there is for various positions in your company is super helpful to drive business decisions. And unfortunately the company loses most of the signal when they are candid about just gathering potential applicants (because people will not apply and you know a lot less about their interest and potential)

Not defending being uncandid, just a heads-up to be realistic about what's going on here. Unless it's made outright illegal, just assume it's happening all the time, because of how fantastic the upside is and how cheap it is to do. The amount of work the company has to invests in screening incoming requests is entirely variable and scales to 0 if they really don't want to hire right now.
From the article.

"Meta is cutting roughly 5% of its staff through performance-based terminations and plans to hire new people to fill their roles this year, according to an internal memo sent to all employees."

I guess annual layoffs are in fashion now. I hope execs remember this the next time they ask employees to go above and beyond 'for the mission' a.k.a their compensation.
As an outsider that means somewhere in 2nm-10nm as everyone measures different things or have awfully off-standard rulers.
Joe Armstrong goes to lengths to describe the benefits of "privately addressable" actors in his thesis (though he uses different terminology). As far as I'm aware, Erlang actors are also privately addressable. cf:

> System security is intimately connected with the idea of knowing the name of a process. If we do not know the name of a process we cannot interact with it in any way, thus the system is secure. Once the names of processes become widely know the system becomes less secure. We call the process of revealing names to other processes in a controlled manner the name distribution problem— the key to security lies in the name distribution problem. When we reveal a Pid to another process we will say that we have published the name of the process. If a name is never published there are no security problems.

> Thus knowing the name of a process is the key element of security. Since names are unforgeable the system is secure only if we can limit the knowledge of the names of the processes to trusted processes.

Other than agreeing with "spacemadness", I wanted to point out a small correction. Original argument was about 5% of total employees, not only new hires.
I wouldn't mind a smaller, more manageable (and auditable) machine.
In parts of Europe the practice itself is even rigid, with markings for where in the intersection your car is supposed to be while waiting to turn.
A. How do you contribute to the kernel in a way that only benefits the contributing organization? That's quite literally impossible in this kind of project. Even the more niche stuff like virtualization support is used by homelab enthusiasts. It's also not like Linux has 100,000 APIs for every customer under the sun.

B. Most of the effort goes into hardware enablement; CPUs, GPUs, power management, etc. Without corporate interests, try running Linux 2.2 from 1999 on a modern PC (which came out just before the $1B IBM investment). See how well it works. Fork modern 2025 Linux, and try running it on a computer that comes out in 2028. See if it even boots. If Intel's only done a minor refresh, it might work; if it's something bigger like the split to P cores and E cores, expect a brick. Even if it does boot, don't be surprised if it crashes, acts unstable, has borked performance, broken sleep/wake, broken audio, broken USB, you name it, it's probably broken.

C. A forked Linux would not have the same level of security research behind it. For example, the Linux 4 era was marked by the introduction of fuzzers and the fixing of countless bugs. A C codebase with handwritten Assembly is rather unlikely to ever become bug-free. How well would your forked non-corporate codebase handle Spectre and Meltdown, just an example, with Google's experts contributing the technique for fixing these problems efficiently (Retpoline)?

D. Added to the above, this isn't a hypothetical: The FSF didn't like the practice of proprietary firmware blobs being in the kernel; so they made their own commercial-interest-free version of Linux called Trisquel. It still uses commercially written code if it's open source; so even it can't be called completely free of commercial influence. The kicker: It runs on almost nothing, and people were complaining about how it works on nothing 13 years ago.

TL;DR: A forked Linux, is a broken Linux, that will never run well on newer hardware, and will quickly become insecure.
Since having insurance is mandatory, if they all charge too much, they won't fail.
I use a soft-offline backup for most things: sources push to an intermediate, backups pull from the intermediate, neither source not backup can touch each other directly.

Automated testing for older snapshots is done by verifying checksums made at backup time, and for the latest by pushing fresh checksums from both ends to the middle for comparison (anything with a timestamp older than last backup that differs in checksum indicates an error on one side or the other, or perhaps the intermediate, that needs investigating, as does any file with a timestamp that differs more than the inter-backup gap, or something that unexpectedly doesn't exist in the backup).

I have a real offline backups for a few key bits of data (my main keepass file, encryption & auth details for the backup hosts & process as they don't want to exist in the main backup (that would create a potential hole in the source/backup separation), etc.).
This crying wolf has been going on for 10 years. It may happen one day but your comment sounds like a broken record. I can find your same commend posted an ungodly amount of times on /r/realtesla archives.
