If you allow users to submit arbitrary Unicode string as text, why would you need to check confusables.txt? Whose confusion are you guarding against?

The big scary red warning page should at least tell you it’s phishing or malware or something else. OP didn’t have a screenshot of that. You can easily go to a safe browsing test site yourself at testsafebrowsing.appspot.com and find that

I do not have learned helplessness. Nor have I claimed Apple’s business practices are the result of a natural force. Nothing is natural here. I said that Congress could have acted. Is Congress part of the nature now? In contrast you have pr

A company like Apple has very little incentive to care about geopolitics, other than by current or future government laws and regulations (a government mandate, tariffs, etc). In the absence of government intervention, Apple has determined

That’s simply not quite true if you read the article. When Terence Tao got stuck on a continued fraction problem, his mother told him to use the quadratic. In contrast when I was a kid and was thinking about optimizing my program to print a

I found it very interesting that Terence Tao also did not like doing mental visualizations and preferred non-visual analytic methods (page 225). This strongly matches my own experience. I am also not a fan of doing visualizations in my head

It is very naïve to think adding staff won’t help. Just look at what the IRS did before staff was cut; they investigated Microsoft aggressively and announced $29 billion in back taxes for 2004 to 2013, plus penalties and interest.

If you just serve SVGs through <img> tag it’ll be much safer. I never understood the appeal of inline <svg> anyways.

There’s innerText if you don’t want markup. Or more verbosely, document.createTextNode followed by whatever.appendChild.

Found a finitist in the wild. You would probably also think most real numbers don’t exist.

The article asks, how can infinite come in many sizes, and then proceeds to list just two sizes: \aleph_0 and 2^{\aleph_0}. If you are interested in this, you can choose to study (1) why is the set of real numbers the same size as the power

Constrained GOTO semantics sounds a lot like delimited continuations. Indeed I think Scheme continuations are a little too powerful for regular use by having the possibility of global effect (like longjmp). Delimited continuations make the

I think you made a good observation about what’s in essence different between the Chinese style and the Japanese style. The popup coupons and confetti effects are all animations. Personally I find these animations highly distracting. Wherea

$15,000 worth of fuel card sounds generous until you find that hydrogen stations have jacked up prices to $36/kg.

The thing about looking straight into the camera and turning your head seems to originate from Chinese apps, including some payment apps, bank apps, and government apps. It’s especially disgusting since it imitates the animation used by App

I don’t understand. What you describe is foreign to me. My Instagram only has posts from people I follow, as well as generic ads like newspapers. I have not seen any of these thirst trap posts (not that I would find these posts appealing;

This brings back lots of memories. When I was in high school, there was a project to build a paper bridge that can hold weight. The class was split into teams of four. Our team was the team that had the most reproducible results, because I

The Singapore PR system is purposefully racist. If you are white, your probability of getting a PR and citizenship is way lower than someone of the Chinese race. The government does not want significant changes to the country’s racial compo

They didn’t care about preventing all unsoundness at type check time. As long as JVM can detect it and throw an exception, it’s good enough for Java.

I have implemented simple-pub a few years ago in a toy project. And no, the type inference user experience is still way worse than what’s acceptable for a mainstream language.

The early flatness craze, Yosemite, still looked better than the current Liquid Glass appearance. The Yosemite app icons in particular looked even more refined than Mavericks, and much more sophisticated than Tahoe.

I can discern it very well. And indeed I think for the people like me who can discern it, stores should be able to sell these sugary beverages. The same amount of sugar is unhealthy when I’m sedentary, but absolutely necessary in other case

That Starbucks probably saved my life after I made an unwise decision to bike 40 miles on an empty stomach. Bonking is real, and I’m glad they are allowed to sell the sugary beverages to prevent me from bonking. Oh and I also fainted the fi

I'm pretty sure the word "custom" refers to the act of choosing among builtin themes in the terminal. Some terminals like ghostty have hundreds builtin.

The word “should” is way too strong. It’s ultimately just a personal preference. For me I would prefer a two-tier approach. There are different programs inside the terminal that I would prefer to have different color treatment. A full-fledg
