Yeah, the entire suite of proposed "standards" catering to agents looks like a temporary measure to duct-tape over the limitations and token costs of today's agents. They'll churn as quickly as Anthropic, Google, OpenAI

It's in the "Security" category. I guess whatever categorization scheme they're using doesn't allow assigning multiple categories per item.

The main page you linked to is not a very useful introduction to slot car racing, or what HO-scale even means. To save everyone a search (or AI tokens): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot_car_racing https://

Different requirements. The description contains HTML markup, such as <p></p> for paragraph breaks. CDATA is a nice and clean way to encode them without breaking anything. The title doesn't contain any markup, and shou

That assumes that you don't have anything else to escape or sanitize. I see people stuffing all sorts of HTML tags and nonstandard attributes in an RSS <description>, just because CDATA allows them to do so without breaking the p

If there's a query parameter that you have a legitimate use for, like `q` for searching, obviously you should configure your web server to let it through. Even in that case, you might want to block unexpected values as early as possibl

Don't worry, every country seems to be moving toward a future in which you need to present government ID to use any online service whatsoever. This will solve the problem of automated signups ... until AI models start getting valid gov

Nope, properties must be an object (dictionary or null). Which means each property can only appear once. The spec doesn't say what type the value of a property can be, though. Examples in the RFC show strings, floats, and a nested ob

Semver doesn't help if you just declare all older versions EOL. What you're looking for are Debian stable packages. :p

If that's the tradeoff they're willing to make, who are you to say that they're doing it wrong? Not every app needs 24/7 availability. The vast majority of websites out there will not suffer any serious consequences from

Tney gave it a sexy name and set up a website about it (a github repo, at any rate), instead of just talking about it in a mailing list and getting a CVE like a proper bearded security researcher.

That 1 second of loading time probably has more to do with heavy frontends and third-party scripts, than the backend server's capacity. $100 is peanuts to most businesses, of course. But even so, I'd rather spend it on fixing an a

Yup, distillation never produces a pure product. Cask-strength whiskeys contain quite a lot of water, even though nobody is stupid enough to distill at 100C. Even an industrial column still can't go over 96% ABV. There is always some a

If ethanol and methanol were readily distinguishable by taste, much fewer people would have died or gone blind drinking moonshine. Whatever subtle differences exist between them are probably unnoticeable to people who are already drunk, not

The author is now based in Japan, and even owns a veracrypt.jp domain. Meanwhile, the old veracrypt.fr domain redirects to veracrypt.io. Seems rather clear that he doesn't want French jurisdiction.

Large parts of Seoul actually sit on very hard rock -- granite and gneiss from the Mesozoic era. But if the only alternative to blasting the bedrock is to pay through your nose for prime real estate, blast the bedrock you will.

Most people driving around in a big city don't have the luxury of choosing a shaded vs. sunny parking space. So the owner of a parking lot doesn't have any incentive to offer shaded parking... unless said shade generates revenue,

Dense multistory parking underground . In South Korea, you usually don't see parking lots the size of several football fields like in the U.S., even around venues that generally attract a lot of cars, even in suburban areas. Instead,

I grew up building random stuff using a hodgepodge of incomplete Lego sets that my parents got from car boot sales. Later they bought me some new sets as well, but sooner or later all the pieces ended up in the big box anyway. I don't

An unchanging community is a dead community, period. Attempts to "preserve" a community, both online and offline, tend to end up preserving unhealthy power dynamics within the community as well, which would have been slowly replac

That looks like a rather flat trapezoid for something that fell from high above. With a fast-moving object, we can usually tell its trajectory across the map much more accurately than we can tell where along that trajectory it impacted the

Back in the 90s and 00s, lots of companies churned out software products that were sold once, supported forever. It was a sort of Ponzi scheme, supporting old customers with money from new customers. Which was okay during a period of high g

Do you get updates to the proprietary software stack if you go without a subscription license? If the answer is no, then you might own the hardware on paper, but you don't control any of the software that makes said hardware useful. If
