I'm confused, this tweet reads like the lead-in or movie-trailer to a story, but where is the actual story?
The map tile backend is in the middle of a multi year effort to migrate from the Flippity Service to the Floopity Service. The FlippityFlooper was believed to have finished the necessary format conversions for all map…

I think you can still go directly to /messages/ and not see the feed.
Why is the whole implementation in header files?
My main home PC is a Puget Serenity workstation from 2017. It has been rock solid and outperforms much newer laptops. And it has almost zero fan noise which is a priority for me. Unfortunately it looks like they may…
Tomorrow: modify man pages from kernel space!
Shoutout to fava, the beancount GUI frontend: https://beancount.github.io/fava/ I really like its big picture view of the accounts, the search / query interface, and live editing of transactions.
This is not a standalone article but a section from Butterick's book, "Typography for Lawyers", which is hosted in full on the website. The book is an opinionated style manual, and many alternatives are described in…
Once I realized that some people expect and are happy for you to jump in with unprompted thoughts or stories, it became easier for me to be intentional about doing so. I think I'm a lot better now than when I was…
I hate these too, but I'm worried that a ban just incentivizes being more sneaky about it.
If LLMs produce fake citations, why would we trust LLMs to check them?
Wouldn't this fall under Auer deference (agency's interpretation of its own regulation)? There is some uncertainty about whether Auer deference survives after Loper Bright.
Your link is just the abstract, I had to hunt for the full talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1kc7fcF5Ao But it is quite interesting and especially learning about the security problems of the document() function…
I tried to read this but the pronouns are so grating
The only thing I know about rock tumblers is that Steve Jobs thinks they're like teams of people building software... Apple must have been a noisy, violent place :P
Interesting that the canvas looks to be in a 5:3 aspect ratio. Did SGI displays have that shape, or would they have used non-square pixels like many DOS games in CGA/EGA resolution?
Interesting, you read it as if the fish said "You want to be like God? No, that's too far. Game over!" But another reading is: God would have chosen the shack (grace to the humble, etc.) So she got her wish.
Why is TOML allegedly "too minimal" for a "small configuration file"?
Layout is more bazaar than cathedral. It has had many ideas mixed in by different contributors over decades.
The first "trap" on the page says "min-width: auto makes min width determined by content", but this is false outside of flex/grid. From MDN: "For block boxes, inline boxes, inline blocks, and all table layout boxes auto…
VBA is the famous example, but Power Query deserves a shout out. I use it to make tables that pull their data from other tables with custom transformation logic. Google Sheets didn't even support tables until fairly…
I'll say it too! There's no serious alternative to Excel for those who rely on its advanced features. You can't just edit Excel files in Libre Office Calc, Google Sheets, or Numbers without any problem whatsoever.
Are you sure you are not experiencing some selection bias yourself, where you only recall the validation attempts that landed as patronizing or insincere, and do not notice when they are adeptly executed?
I am not sure if the author actually put any thought into the foundation of interactivity on the web, or if they just asked the AI to write a nice-sounding introduction to their article about new button capabilities.
