> Actually, frames were ugly, limited and not really ergonomic but they weren’t a wrong pattern.

I used frames to do holy grail lite layout with static header/footer with the main body being the part that continued to update. The footer remaining the same was the only way I could get our early "radio station" to continue playing with the user navigated the site so that the music wasn't interrupted. This was so old, it was using an embedded Real Player. As for ugly, there were no borders from the frameset.

I run a tiny blog. Every now and then, I check the server logs. Specifically, the user agent strings.

Under which section of the Copyright Act? Under which court ruling?

Keep in mind that "fair use" is a legal doctrine that is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, not an absolute shield a defendant can raise as an impenetrable defense. No court has ever held that a licensee can, without exception, make a copy of a protected work as a backup.

Most people have no clue how to use AI or where to use it in their lives. There was a guy at work who was submitting command-like queries (give meeting summary) and complained about how it left out XYZ. Then I told him to ask "Give me the meeting summary with X, Y, Z" or "what did so and so say about Y."

His mind was blown.

Technically, the underscore was restricted and should not be used for user defined targets/frame names. This isn't something any browser I know of ever enforced.

Jay you seem knowledgeable on this - thanks for answering - I have a question

I did look at auto-detecting before, but it seems like you can only really tell the features of a GPU, not so much the good info (VRAM amount and bus speed) - is that the case?

I looked at the GPUAdapter docs, and all it told me was:

- device maker (amd)

- architecture (rdna-3)

and that was it. Is there a way to poke for bus speed and vram amount?
Yeah, if you took it outside the temperature envelope of the lab it failed. I guess thermal expansion?

There were also a bunch of cells that had inputs, but no outputs. When you disconnected them... the circuit stopped working. Shades of "magic" and "more magic".

1. Hackable text input system := Hatis https://github.com/shegeley/hatis

«Text-editors are dead as a concept. What’s needed is a text-input system. Mobile phones got it right more than 10 years ago. Both Android and iOS can catch the text-input context: «ah here we can input text, let’s show the virtual keyboard!».

This project is inspired by very same idea: catch the text-input context globally (across all system, not just one process) and do what’s needed: change the UI, keybindings, etc. Emacs got some part of text-input right with modes. But modes should be global, on Window Manager level (or even deeper).

In GUI it’s possible to “catch input context” using Wayland::InputMethod

It should also be possible on pure-tty with readline or something.

The system should be very hackable. That’s why it’s written in Common Lisp»

In the US:

- The one I have experience using is Genesis Hosting out of Chicago. Their website looks like it's from 1997, because it is from 1997... But they provide a nice OpenStack solution that works well.

- I haven't used Vexxhost, they seem to provide something OpenStack-related, but their website is all marketing bullshit, so I have no idea what you actually get.

- RamNode seems to provide access to the OpenStack API.

In Europe:

- OVH Public Cloud is still short on details, but based on some verbiage buried in the marketing BS, it looks like you do get an OpenStack interface.

- Open Telekom Cloud by T-Mobile seems to give you an OpenStack interface.

- Acville Cloud is based in Romania.

- Cyso Cloud (formerly Fuga Cloud) is based in the Netherlands.

- IntoVPS seems to provide its services on OpenStack, but no idea if the API is open. They build a custom OpenStack console called Fleio.

I think it's actually valuable to hear from one of the former Tory ministers who was in favour of the bill says[1]. I don't necessarily agree with him, but it's interesting to hear he essentially argues that you don't have the security you think you do. If a bad actor wants to pwn you they'll do it on your device and you can't stop them. I think that's broadly true of some actors. If you personally are being targetted by a motivated opponent then yes, they will likely target your personal device first and then encrypted cloud is essentially moot. It's also an interesting idea to not say "We need this to tackle CSAM" but instead to say "We need this so that these companies can't enable CSAM whilst claiming to be unaware" - I think on a practical level that does hold more water.

At the end of the day though, he doesn't address the clearest problem with these backdoors which is that the payoff value of being able to blanket unencrypted cloud data is of such high value it's extremely likely to get exploited, and for the average person you're more worried about being exposed as part of a broad attack on infrastructure not a targeted attack on your individually.

It's also pretty difficult to give credence to the idea that they need this tool to tackle CSAM or organised crime. The reason you can't believe that is because they don't tackle CSAM or organised crime by and large. The UK government simply hasn't prioritized policing that, so we're not in a context of "we're doing all we can but we need more powers", we're in the context of "We can't be bothered, curtail people's rights so our job is easier". I'm sure Apple is not in favour of CSAM, but Apple isn't a member of the British police responsible for investigating and tackling CSAM, why are we trying to recruit them to be?

I also don’t know why it’s so controversial to want the gov to spend money wisely and make efficiency a core value. It’s funny what people will defend because the current people doing it are controversial and unprofessional so the whole idea gets dismissed. I’m not a political extremist like that, I just think it could and should be done better and done right.

There is a fallacy here. If you know they don't perform well in places where you have the expertise to detect it, it is a mistake to assume they perform well in other areas. My conclusion has been that they are useful for kicking off a task, sometimes useful for ideation, but generally will fall down on anything reasonably complex. The dangerous bit is that it's hard to detect the line where they start to fail.

What are you basing this on? It was carbon fibre or steel. SpaceX tried carbon. The bake was too inconsistent, so they went with steel. This was the stated and obvious design path since Falcon Heavy’s design trajectory plateaued.

Xe highly recommend the series! Xe keep going back to them for bedtime audio book listening. Chapters alternate between fact and fiction and the mix of intriguing narrative and drier but compelling academic talk help put xir otherwise overly busy mind to rest. In fact, xe bought softcover copies of two of them just last week.

The science is no longer cutting edge (some are over twenty years old) but the deeper principles hold and Discworld makes for an excellent foil to our own Roundworld, just as Sir Pratchett intended.

Indeed, the series says more about us as humans and our relationship to the universe than the universe itself and xe love that.

Delete cookies and browsing history selectively for predefined websites
It’s really been advertised heavily lately but I just discovered it a couple weeks ago, and in case you’re unaware the real aha moment with Cursor for me was Composer in Agent mode with Sonnet 3.5.

If you want the highest chance of success, use a reasoning model (o3-mini high, o1 pro, r1, grok 3 thinking mode) to create a detailed outline of how to implement the feature you want, then copy paste that into composer.

It one shots a lot of greenfield stuff.

If you get stuck in a loop on an issue, this prompt I got from twitter tends to work quite well to get you unstuck: "Reflect on 5-7 different possible sources of the problem, distill those down to 1-2 most likely sources, and then add logs to validate your assumptions before we move onto implementing the actual code fix."

Just doing the above gets me through 95% of stuff I try, and then occasionally hopping back out to a reasoning model with the current state of the code, errors, and logs gets me through the last 5%.

Well as someone who's actually used them as a customer, OpenStack hosting providers do give more functionality than DO, Hetzner, etc, plus they have an open API. None of them compete with the "big 4" public clouds (everyone forgets Oracle is still around...) but if all you want is IaaS then you don't need them.

I know OpenStack is a tire fire to maintain, I've worked with it for large-scale on-prem data solutions. But if a company wants to kill themselves to maintain it for me, I'm happy to pay for the privilege.
