Long Term Capital Management [1] is a good example of a company with “good, but illiquid investments” that failed because they made trades that went the wrong way temporarily, ran out of margin, and had to be rescued with a bailout before t

Seems like nginx should update its default settings. Can’t think of a reason to not make keepalive the default.

Mastodon docs provide a guide to running an instance: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/prerequisites/ (I don’t run one myself so would be curious if any admins have tips or suggestions.)

Very cool project but I wish they had named it Manganese. Certain isotopes of chromium undergo beta decay Cr → Mn + e⁻ so it would have been a propos for the two derivatives of Chromium to be Manganese and Electron.

This kind of bug is unacceptable for a supposedly private cloud service. I wonder how long the bug has been around and whether it is at all related to the recent roll out of iCloud Shared Photo Library. https://support.apple.com&

Interesting, the missing SVGStyleElement.sheet must be a Safari bug not captured by MDN’s compatibility chart? Your workaround of finding the sheet in document.styleSheets is clever and seems to work.
