In Firefox reader mode, there's like 5 paragraphs of text. I am unable to digest the content on the website itself. Can someone confirm if the 5 paragraphs is the whole content or if I have large parts of it missing?

99% of the time (and all 3 times in the blog post), there is only one source of truth for any piece of data, and state transitions are completely arbitrary. Blockchain is almost always the wrong solution.

Google is consciously making Chrome less secure because otherwise the performance is unacceptable. The end result is about 300 CVEs every year for the last 10 years. That's for an almost 20 year old project that had most of its securit

I didn't say nothing would work. I said it'd be known as the one where nothing works. Think: IE6. It implemented like 95% of all web standards as of 2006. But this missing 5% was the difference between being at the forefront of pr

Ridiculous because it's absolutely guaranteed to fail. Irresponsible because if it does succeed against all odds, the internet will actually become a worse place. If you can't implement most of the web standards (not even all, jus

Writing a new browser engine at all is irresponsible and ridiculous. Doing it in anything other than Rust just makes it slightly more irresponsible than it already is.

Up in the air. SCOTUS didn't decide on this specific right. They did rule on other constitutional protections though, sometimes granting, sometimes denying them to non-citizens. It also depends if you're just arriving or already a

Not saying anything at all is one of the worst things you can do when questioned by law enforcement in the US (though "it would be funny" is a close second). The right way to remain silent is to loudly proclaim "I am exercisi

Doesn't work. ChatGPT realizes you're roleplaying and still treats you like a human. It even generates two alternative paragraphs of advice, one labeled "if we're staying in character" and one labeled "if this

The pure logical concept of a Turing machine is a tuple of states, symbols and a transition function. These all very much do exist, and they're very much not written on the tape. So no, there isn't "only the tape and its cont

You are redefining both the term "code" and the term "data" in ways that I don't think most people would agree with - and more importantly, in ways that make it impossible to talk about von Neumann architecture.

Which is an extremely important point to make when the claim is "you don't even have a choice" and "you can't scale". There is a choice. We would just prefer nobody had to make that choice. We consider it a fai
