This may not be exactly what the author is writing about (which is a more about creativity), but I find that Matt Levine's writing is just about the perfect ratio of serious to glib. The playful parts are clever and usually in service

Sounds a bit like running out of memory, followed by the OOM killer going after the process... though I'm not sure the OOM killer would act that quickly. Do you get any interesting messages in `dmesg`?

Browsers don't have native support for opening WARC. It doesn't solve the safety problem either: you can still construct a WARC that phones home, AFAIK. It's a great format for the problem it solves, but if browsers supported

Yes, but it's not guaranteed to be self-contained. I wouldn't want to open a random HTML file knowing that it could phone home, or that the content might break one day without me realizing. There's a practical and psycholog

I really wish that browsers had developed first-class support for offline web page bundles. There's no way to share a page that is guaranteed to be self-contained and not hit the network, especially if you want to use javascript. It&#x

I'm disappointed by the conspiratorial tone here. They had already been acquitted, sinking a yacht in a freak tornado makes zero sense as a way of assassinating someone, and the woman who hit Stephen Chamberlain with her car remained a

The hive does not seem materially different than "the bazaar, but everyone agrees". What are examples that differentiate them?

I sit firm in my belief that the best thing Microsoft could do for their laptop ecosystem is to add support for a "max fan speed" slider somewhere prominent in the Windows UI. People want the option to make their laptop silent or

In casual use, yes. In formal writing, the broad switch to acceptance of singular "they" is only about 15 years old. Up until that point it's the sort of thing that would be flagged by an editor, or lose you marks in an Engli

Are you sure that is correct? I was under the impression that US government could order companies to turn over data, but that they could not compel them to actually do work. This was the center of the dispute between the government and Appl

ShotSpotter isn't really related to current AI/ML products. The company has been operating for almost 30 years.

Possible good news: recent versions of libinput support completely custom acceleration curves! Though I don't know if any wayland compositors expose configuration options for it yet. https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libi

You should try for a full 3D implementation of Doom! I'm sure it's been ported to JavaScript at least a dozen times.

Do you have any examples? You should tell her to get in touch with researchers. Even if she doesn't quite have HSAM, they'd probably be interested. In fact, they might be even more interested to see someone who lives in the gap be

It's worth noting a very, very large difference: the US cannot compel companies to build things. They can secretly obtain some information, but they can't secretly require backdoors, tracking tools, etc.

Out of curiosity, where do you draw the line? Say there was some open-source pricing tool that runs completely locally, operating only on public data and not sharing information with others. Would you consider it price fixing if it became s

As a renter myself, I have tremendous sympathy for the tenants affected by this. But there is a way to frame this whole saga that makes it much more innocuous: By maximizing individual profit, the software rapidly finds the real fair marke

Yeah, the APIs aren't great on either Windows or Unix. I'm reminded of a @fasterthanlime tweet: >Few people know the complete quote: >"Everything is a file — the worst possible primitive" Especially in a multi-core
