I get the feeling you’re saying this because the harm caused by privacy loss is complicated, uncertain, time offset, etc, while “harm” feels to you like losing $100 or getting punched. You should think about the 1960s civil rights movement.

Glad you have the ability to set your own preferences, but I’m pretty sure most people are happy with this. Do you by chance spend a lot of time reading PDFs while angry?

It’s happened many times before, and people heard about it and aren’t that stupid or forgetful. They just want to believe something incompatible, so they permit themselves a little internal dishonesty: maybe it’s a separate issue that someb

The author presents two options: think you’re above politics, or practice it. I admit that, when I was younger, I did believe the first for a while, but what it progressed to was an option C: accept that politics, in some form, is necessary

What are you talking about? You’re referring to Andreas Kling, right? All I’m finding is he used to work at Nokia, then on WebKit at Apple, then founded SerenityOS, and now works on Ladybird full time. He says he was a drug addict, but is n

I suggest group-commits-by-file , group-commits , or group-by-file, depending on whether you want it to make sense out of context and whether you ever group commits differently. You might then feel compelled to add a final line like “… and

The big missing piece for me was that these strategies are meant to be used with React or some other framework. So, in your example, you actually only edit in one place, a SidebarButton component.

I think the problem is people’s priors. This isn’t the first time we’re seeing data fake-arrive like this, and virtually always it’s done either to fake liveness or to lie about rate of change. So, it comes to mean not “live”, but “fake”, e

This is just a consequence of life beginning in the ocean. Land-based life is related to ocean-based life at the point of the fork, and there were prior forks which, by definition, remained in the ocean.

Unfortunately, it really does help. Apple is notorious for never fixing bugs unless somebody stirs up drama. Other comments say this specific bug has been there for years.

I wonder if it used to be that people largely weren’t on the same page, and didn’t know it. It’s not like people consult dictionaries to learn what slang means, or even usually ask somebody, and the definitions are related enough that respo

To elaborate a little, an advantage of this is there are many numbers it’s evenly divisible by. 60: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 100: 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 360: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90,

Legitimately curious, could you tell me more about Pyrex? I only heard that they changed the formula years ago to trade some impact resistance for thermal shock resistance, not that there are all-around better options. I haven’t had issues

No. They’re not hard to detect because they’re good, they’re “hard” to detect because understanding code takes time, and you’re putting that work on the maintainer. I find it hard to believe that people who don’t intuit this have ever been

I don’t think they’re actually that dumb. I think the dirty secret behind “data driven decision making” is managers don’t want data to tell them what to do, they want “data” to make even the idea of disagreeing with them look objectively wr

Orion is not made by an AI company, it’s made by Kagi. If you’re an open source or non-profit diehard then yes, it’s not that, but as far as closed source for-profit businesses go, they’re a lot better than most. They are a public benefit c

I’d like to see better fingerprinting tests than coveryourtracks.eff.org and amiunique.org. Both have the flaw that they test only uniqueness, not persistence, with the result that they’d flag a random number generator as a fingerprint, too
