That's what I did on my phone, yeah. Desktop version still feels all sorts of bad despite that.

It's a giant "fuck you" to accessibility in general. It reminds me of the first designer I ever worked with, who designed for pretty screenshots and put zero thought into the actual interaction. E.g. the pervasive use of tra

Like you said: re -election. Re-election just maintains the status quo. The concern here is Talarico specifically, and that he might flip Texas.

The FCC opened a probe on The View[0] for hosting Talarico. They haven't made a rule change, but they're definitely acting as if the rules already say what they want it to say. [0]: https://www.fox7austin.com/news&

It's been my daily driver for close to a year now. It might not be a killer application, but it's certainly enough to prove Zig isn't vapourware.

There doesn't need to be a "why?", we just need an absence of a "why not?". Something as simple as the game of life shows you how highly complex emergent behaviour can emerge from incredibly simple rules.

I suspect this sort of thing is some of the best marketing money can buy anyhow, so it's a bit of a no-brainer.

The issue is a fair bit subtler than that. The analogous question here isn't "do violent video games induce violent behaviour in the general population?" but rather "do violent video games induce violent behaviour in peo

And the followup big question is — how do you measure which effect, if any, occurs in practice?

Follow the heads. Counting clockwise from the "A", the fifth boy has his head right on top of the line. When you shift to position B, the bit of the head on the outside becomes part of a hand.

Sure, and the fact that they haven't voluntarily put guard rails up to stop that is absolutely vile. But my personal definition of "absolutely vile" isn't a valid legal standard. So, the issue is, like I said, how do y

In a world where hosting services are responsible that way, their filtering would need to be even more sensitive than it is today, and plenty of places already produce unreasonable amounts of false positives. As it stands, I have a bunch of

What about webmail, IM, or any other sort of web-hosted communication? Do you honestly think it would be better if Google were responsible for whatever content gets sent to a gmail address?

How does that mesh with all the safe harbour provisions we've depended on to make the modern internet, though?

5kW means you can't even handle a single one of these[0], compared to a handful per rack on an earthbound data centre. 0. https://www.arccompute.io/solutions/hardware/gpu-servers/sup...

I'm of two minds about this. One the one hand, it seems "obvious" that Grok should somehow be legally required to have guardrails stopping it from producing kiddie porn. On the other hand, it also seems "obvious" th

In this day and age, in a world with Docker and dev containers and such, it's kind of shocking that reproducible builds aren't table stakes.

Might’ve been MonoGame? It sounds enough like Godot that you might’ve confused the two, it’s a code-first framework, and it’s popular enough that you might’ve heard of it (Stardew Valley, Bastion, and Celeste are all built on MonoGame)

"Bad" comes in many shapes and sizes. Specifically, "technically competent person implementing a thing designed by a technically incompetent person" is remarkably different from "technically incompetent person imple

Rust's re-exports also allow you to design your public module structure separate from your internal structure.

Some bits about the service can be pretty astounding. I used to live near the Central line. The station near home was open air and the exit was at the very end of the platform, so I always wanted to make sure I entered the train from the co

Yeah, not disagreeing with you. It's just that, every time we have this discussion, we see comments like GP's rebutted by comments like yours, and vice versa. All I'm saying is that we have to acknowledge that both are true.

A discussion you don't see nearly enough of is that there is a fundamental tradeoff with hardware security features — every feature that you can use to secure your device can also be used by an adversary to keep control once they com

It's 2026, and social media brigading and harassment is a well-known phenomenon. In light of that, trying to preemptively de-escalate seems like a Good Thing.

I expect it'll be a sigmoid curve — we're in the exponential growth phase, but it'll flatten out. Then we'll need to wait for the next Big Idea to give us another the next sigmoid.

I don't have my own kids, but my experience with people with kids is that they're often desperate for social interaction, they feel limited in their ability to go out of the house, and they really don't want the extra work fr

Then you haven’t lived under a dictatorship. It might not be a sledgehammer, but breaking voter secrecy and pressuring people to vote the “right” way is very much a thing.
