According to https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2017-pledge.pdf pledge turns off upon execve. Surely it would be quite limiting for runners to use it.

As far as I see its purpose is mostly a mitigation/self-defence for vulnerabilities in C-based apps, so basically limiting what happens once the attacker has exploited a vulnerability. Maybe it has other uses.

It could be used defending against bugs in the Node runtime itself, as you say, but as I understand vulnerabilities in the Node runtime itself are quite rare, so more fine-grained limitations could be implemented within itself.

While all administrations hide evidence, conservative/republican presidents do it pretty openly. Bush and 9/11 was a great example. I dont know of too many bigger lies/coverups than the information surrounding 9/11 and the "war on terror".

Zen looks like Arc Browser, but Firefox-based and open-source. Exactly what I'm looking for!

The UX pattern for tabs in Arc is amazing. No, it's not just "vertical tabs". It's an innovative blend of the concepts of bookmarks and open tabs. Sort of like files: they can be open or closed, and live in a folder hierarchy.

But the development of Arc stopped half a year ago (except security Chromium updates), with a well-working Mac version, but Windows version which is barely usable and no Linux support. The creators decided to focus on some sort of "AI agent" browser.

So I came looking for alternatives that would be cross-platform, have working adblockers, and preferably be open-source. There are some "Firefox transformation" projects like ArcFox, but they are clumsy to set up and usually only copy the general look, not the actually useful features like nested folders. There are extensions like "Tree style tabs" but they work a different way than Arc.
Thank you for your kind words! Nice idea about the header exchanger, I’ll add it to my list to explore as an option for this feature.

I did once a simple implementation: light, dark and system.
Data was stored in localstorage. The default was system and used quite of bit scss to implement.
Effectivly it consisted of 3 parts: and theming mixing that accepted the background and foreground color, an theme mixin that generated the surrounding "body.$schema" and "@media (prefers-color-scheme: $schema)" and at last an fallback block that only activated when it doesn't support prefers-color-scheme.

The javascript was pretty short not even 50 lines and no dependency.

The best Ruby always surpasses the elegance of the best Python... Unfortunately for practical means at this point I go for Python: more libraries, less problems with the C implementation of the interpreter (had issues with the GC in the past), better LLMs understanding of the code.

Anecdotally, I basically never adjust light/dark mode, I pick what I want once and leave it alone forever. (Is this common? Does anyone have telemetry about it?)

So the only reason for it to take up prominent real-estate is to ensure it is found at the same initial moment that I want to find it. Something like that could also be done with some kind of quickstart or initial-settings wizard.

94% comes from a non-representative online poll, but Tesla sales already about halved in 2024 and the first months of 2025 saw another halving to 70+% reduction YoY. So it's certainly quite bad.

But I also wonder, with germany being a very SUV-centric market, if this has something to do with the tesla SUVs (X and Y) just being uniquely butt-ugly. If you have working eyes, there are just so many options which look much nicer these days, and unlike ten years ago there is no big performance gap.

> Ruby does not require you to put the opening and closing parenthesis on a function to run that function, and it's not always put there when you have zero or 1 parameter

mind = blown

I always liked how functionName denotes the function and functionName() calls the function, and then it denotes the result e.g. in JavaScript or in math. But just saying functionName to call a function makes the code read more like English. Code that reads like English > code that reads like math. (And you can still talk about functions of course.)
Well, even without regulations, restaurants that poison their customers will have bad reputation and go out of business.

AI’s potential to take over technical roles isn’t just speculation anymore—it’s happening.

And why wouldn’t tech companies pursue it?

Imagine the cost savings if 30-40% of their engineering workforce were AI agents.

Now, think about the ripple effect:

A job market flooded with software engineers competing for fewer roles.
Companies optimizing for efficiency over human expertise.
An industry shifting in ways we can’t yet fully predict.
Yeah. I think that was the wrong decision. The problem was introducing features between IE and IIS and using that to extend their end user OS monopoly into a server OS monopoly. MS should have been blocked from the server OS market instead (or maybe some some of consent decree, I’m sceptical it would have been appropriately enforced though).
Simple.

The overhead on takeout is far less than dine-in although the menu items cost the same. Dine-in costs include base waitstaff salary and workman's comp, cleaning crew and dishwashers, electricity, insurance, ect.. while takeout requires the very small cost of packaging. Something that always bugs me is restaurants that charge $2 or $5 surcharge for takeout. I'm saving the restaurant a ton of money by not using the dining room, why would they discourage that?

> It cannot be explained by economies of scale

I disagree. Increase in takeout is an increase in efficiency for each line cook and emnployee.

There was a 23 seat restaurant on the top of the hill in Pacific Grove, CA in the 90s named Taste Bisto. The chef and his wife made a fortune from that tiny restaurant. He did two things. First, he set the prices so there was always a little line waiting at the door, not too long, and he encouraged takeout with an emphasis on making the food still look presentable when the person opens the container 30 minutes later at home. According to the chef, his real profits came from the takeout. From the point of view of the grill cook, grilling 8 pork chops or 18 pork chops at. the same time isn't much different, as the cook has to stand by the grill anyhow.

When you are pessimistic any country has a dark future, while judging from history, historical events do not look inevitable before they actually happen, and are hardly expected.

For example, recently half of the world, including many in the west, believed in the inevitable prophecy of socialist utopia, where there will be no private property and everyone will be free of the oppression of capitalism. Millions of lives later and oops

Electrical signals are not the same as subjective experiences. While a machine may be able to record and play back these signals for humans to experience, that does not imply that the experiences themselves are recorded nor that the machine has any access to them.

A deaf person can use a tape recorder to record and play back a symphony but that does not encode the experience in any way the deaf person could share.

And right after that, the fight against climate change will be lost.

Electric cars could have been the enabling technology for intermittent renewable power generation. Smart charging and back-feeding into the grid when needed could have largely solved the intermittency problem.

Usually people get huffed up about stuff they care about. Caring doesn’t mean wanting it to be better, it could also mean get worked up about.

Surely a one-off comment about nobody using Ruby doesn’t mean you “care”, but if it is true that it is the same people who keep commenting, they obviously care.

Is it because they are jealous of the beauty of Ruby/Rails, as a Rubyist I’d think so, but who is to say really. Maybe they worked at a company where they replaced whatever their favourite stack is with Rails and they have hated Ruby ever since. It could be anything.

You wouldn’t keep responding to stuff you don’t care about at some level.

Oh! Recently I had the experience of working with someone who was using LLMs to build something using my JS canvas library. The code the LLM was producing for this person was ... sub-optimal. Over-complicated. Not a surprise to me as my library is very niche and the only documentation around it is the docs/lessons I've written myself. So now I'm in the middle of an exercise to write documentation[1] that tries to explains everything (that I can remember) that the library does.

The problem is, I've no idea how useful that documentation would be for LLM consumption - does anyone know of an "Idiot's Guide to writing documentation for LLM consumption" so I can review my work to date and improve the docs going forward?

Ruby, specially with Rails, is particularly suited for AI coding, because of how mature it is and convention over configuration: Most of the important stuff is up to date in the model, and the entire thing comes with a fairy comprehensive set of ideas of how to to be used cohesively to built entire apps.
I watched this recently. I was stunned at the level of complexity, themes and storylines coming from a kids movie.

Equating caring and wanting it to be better was a mistake on my part. It made my comment not true, and it made you worked-up. Sorry for that.

All in all, I don't think that other forms of caring apply either. I think that parroting "Ruby is dead" doesn't mean that they care about Ruby, it's just a thing people like to parrot, without the meaning realizing in their heads. A form of bonding, a form of distraction, a form of opening to a social interaction, a form of self-reassurance etc. It is lot of things, and caring about Ruby at all is usually not among those (IMO).

It's really not. Most of the hydrogen bus projects were killed by the surprising cost of fueling - approximately 4x the cost of electricity.

And no wonder: just the energy wasted producing hydrogen and then using it in a fuel cell is enough to build a battery pack that will last the equivalent.

> Yet some analysts have recently argued that China’s defense spending is much larger still, and their new numbers have gained the attention of wider audiences. The Economist has reported that China’s defense spending has already reached two-thirds of U.S. spending and is “catching up quickly.” Then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told Congress in 2021 that “the Russian and Chinese budgets exceed our budgets if all the cards are put on the table.” In September 2023, U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan claimed that China’s defense spending is “probably close to about $700 billion” — three times higher than Beijing’s official defense budget. Apparently worried that China is poised to match or even surpass U.S. spending, Congress introduced legislation in June 2023 calling for the development of new methods for measuring, comparing, and reporting on China’s defense spending.

So, China and Russia increased their military spending a lot, while Trump disarms USA like Zelenskiy did just before fool scale invasion.

In February 2025 electric car sales in Germany were up 30% year on year, whereas total sales were down 6%

Top 10 electric cars (again February 2025):

1. VW ID.7

2. VW ID.4, ID.5

3. VW ID.3

4. Skoda Enyaq

5. Audi Q4

6. Seat Born

7. Tesla Model Y

8. BMW 4ER

9. BMW X1

10. Seat Tavascan

So the top 6 are all Volkswagen. And in total 7 of the top 10.

It is not. Only 18% of newly registered cars are electric i.e. over 80% of the people are still buying new CE cars, to say nothing about the massive used car market which is almost completely CE.

> Would you expect a "privacy focused" browser to offer you networking disabled by default

Obviously not, because at that point it can no longer be used to browse the web. (That said, "do no network requests" should be the default idle state of the browser until appropriate user interaction. Allowing CORS is also a horrible default but that ship has long sailed.)

I also disable WebGL in my Firefox profile and this does not inconvenience me in any way. So I do not think WebGL support is as instrumental to browsing the web as you claim; it entirely depends on what sites you visit. (And let's be honest here, a very significant majority of websites does not need WebGL.)
The greatest tonnages are dug out with bench mining excavators. These work 24/7/365 round the clock to fill trucks from bench faces and empty into trains.

An area such as the Pilbara region moves a billion tonne of raw material a year and ships most of that.

These excavators are electric with cables that drag behind them .. they move very slowly across bench faces and then move back across the face again, it's not like they are very mobile (aside from swinging, dipping, lifting, dumping, returning, etc.)

"Consider a pencil lying on your desk. Try to spin it around so that it points once in every direction, but make sure it sweeps over as little of the desk’s surface as possible."

I'm really stuck at the start here - moving a pen so that it pointing in all directions is basically impossible - the space of directions is two-dimensional and you can only trace out a one-dimensional curve (or pair of curves).

Ok, wikipedia makes it clearer:

"In mathematics, a Kakeya set, or Besicovitch set, is a set of points in Euclidean space which contains a unit line segment in every direction."

If you’re selling a specific service then no, kinda like how you pick a doctor.
