Maybe you don't understand what accessibility is? It's not a vibes-based term like UX, there are actually laws that enforce proper accessibility. If you run a big American website that isn't accessible, you could get sued und

Most data has semantic boundaries: whether tokens, words, lines, paragraphs, blocks, sections, articles, chapters, versions, etc. and ideally the chunking algorithm will align with those boundaries in the actual data. But there is a lot of

It's hard science as far as accessibility goes. A screen reader user wastes a lot of time if they have to differentiate what 10 different "click here" links mean.

This is why correctness-oriented programming methods, while popular among academics, have and always will struggle with mainstream adoption. A corollary of Tog's Paradox is that the definition of "correct" in a given program

Given the reddit energy of these posts, I'm guessing it's a Japan/Scandinavia preference. Right or wrong?

Evidence-free allegations of "human shields" is not an excuse to repeatedly commit mass murder. Israel has already executed a proportional response to Oct 7, at least 100 times over. The extra 99+ times represent unprovoked war cr

To what extent is repeated mass-murder of civilians, total destruction of healthcare and education systems, etc. part of the "moral gray area"? That's just not a serious argument. You can be pro-Israel without pretending to h

I agree. Temporary / bandaid solutions are totally great if they are straightforward to implement AND unimplement.

> Now you're maintaining a bestiary. Any battle-hardened test suite is already a bestiary. Having a subfolder of diverse & exemplary config files, that could be iterated over, is not adding much to the pile.

No doubt about it. I don't think Minecraft would have gotten as far as fast in the public consciousness without content creators like Yogscast being able to produce so much novel content from modded Minecraft.

That's not at all what's happening. I don't think the MIC invests heavily in producing false-flag events. But they do evidently invest heavily in PR and "think tank" activities to drum up support, including misconst

It's vastly more likely that it was a classified US military-intelligence operation/test than a foreign actor operating freely in deepest CIA territory. But threat inflation = bigger budgets.

For v7, the last chunk of bits (rand_b) can be "pseudorandom OR serial". There is no flag bit that must indicate which approach was used. Therefore, given a compliant UUIDv7 sample, it is impossible to interpret those bits. You c

I'm sure it's a huge success for the few earning the profits from ServiceNow. Like any SaaS, the more feature boxes you check, the more potential customers you can "satisfy". And the worse the UX gets for the average use

If it's anything like ServiceNow, they have insane feature bloat and poor overall software architecture.

I thought the point of bug bounties was to incentivize whitehat behavior, not scare them off with legal BS. Lol.

Embedded browsers have many great use cases, but navigating to arbitrary links is not one of them. It's virtually never useful to me when I click on a link in Slack or whatever, then respond to a text message, and go back to my browser

There are so many avenues to fixing this, but the bottom line is this Age of Automatons is very appealing to the global aristocracy who can use it to overwhelm democracy and push their propaganda like never before. It's a feature, not
