If you're at a bar, get sodas or seltzers and don't tell anybody they're dry. nobody can tell and nobody asks. if they do, say they're boring drinks like well rum and coke or well vodka tonics. Tip the bartender. If you&

I worked at a company long enough to go from young dev who wants to use shiny new tech (and is told no by party pooper experienced devs); to the party pooper experienced dev for a new group of young devs. I know I'm right, as I'm

My position is that anonymous conversation is low value and a more advanced internet society will not do it much. The "meaningful" social networks you theorize will be meaningful specifically because anonymous conversation is abse

I pay a monthly fee to a business for my mail server, and I chose a business that makes data privacy a top selling point. Tweets are microblogs. RSS technology is fine for publishing them. The Twitter client only needs to be an RSS reader.

This is why I haven't gotten into mastodon. What server do I choose? At best they're internet forums from the 90s where the admin eventually has to move on (for often valid reasons, like in this case.) Also why does this random gu

A good example of calculable performance vs perceived performance. There's more sudoku puzzles in existence than anyone can memorize, therefore there's infinite sudoku puzzles from a human perspective. From a computer's persp

Think of it as refactoring your brain. There are belief systems that depend on one another and you can't easily swap one out for another without it spilling into dependent systems. The big bang rewrite of your brain isn't a possib

I like Impossible meat quite a lot, but best in ground beef scenarios. If you're putting it into sloppy joes, hamburger helpers, and the like, it's really hard to even notice the difference. The texture is right and most of the fl

Took us about a quarter heads down to do the conversion which involved quite a bit of rewriting. We had been prepping and planning for the work pretty much since they first teased MV3 in 2018. Now we are figuring out the right way to flip t

I'm a single issue Windows user over this. Can't believe they removed this in Win 11 and more importantly haven't put it back yet. This change alone has caused me to reconsider a future on Windows. Who are they building this

While we're on the topic of writing styles, has anyone ever told you your writing style is very similar to Ignatius J. Reilly from A Confederacy of Dunces?

These AI tools are going to be built into professional tools like Photoshop someday, but until then it's sort of a hackers paradise. I think Charl-e lets a new cohort of hackers play with the technology without becoming python command

All the indie devs you mentioned had moonshot successes that catapulted their studio. They shouldn't be modeled by anyone making a fresh go at the games industry. Save yourself the time and buy a lotto ticket. Having a tight release lo

I don't subscribe to the AI Boogeyman theories. Consciousness is some made up philosophical macguffin. I don't care if a bunch of phds can align on a definition for hokum and then tell me if one robot has it or not. Asking things

I asked DALL-E to draw a self portrait of itself and its family one time, and the results still make my hairs stand up. DALL-E itself was Clippy-like, blue, and bean shaped with eyes and mouth more expressive than a Zuckerberg VR avatar. As

MV3 nukes pretty much every third party js in existence. If the lack of a DOM doesn't do it, the extremely spartan service worker environment will take it out. Did they use XHR? SW only supports fetch. Did they use the window global? D

I do think there's a bit of sour grapes. You can only use the MV2 version until January. After that the main point to using the MV3 extension will be that it exists. I sort of like the idea of UBO Minus, regardless of whether they do a

I worked at a small company where a vendor poached the team member that worked closely with the vendor. The company was pretty bitter about it and switched vendors, and the CEO would often bad-mouth the vendor at speaking events with other

All crowd-sourced online aggregation is bogus. Every single form of it has someone placing their finger on the scale one way or the other. If it isn't a familial corporation it's for-hire bot farms, perhaps even hired by your comp

I've seen this meme a lot, with wildly different calculated values and outcomes. (But always confirming the political biases of the bubble it was shared in, of course.) I'd really like to see a rigorous calculation and explanation

You will bypass the permission auth dialog, which is your last official chance to see what the code you're about to execute has access to. The extension developer could add a malicious permission + new code to exploit it and it would l

Now that ad blockers have to be built out of declarative syntax that Google controls, the browser maintainers basically _are_ responsible for implementing the ad blockers. And would you look at that they're pushing back on community co

MV3 splits permissions into host permissions and classical permissions (tabs, storage, etc). Putting <all_urls> in your host permission list means that whatever the extension does, it can do it on all possible urls you may visit in th

MV2 extensions have a lot of API power and it was a common malware vector in the browser since the APIs let you sidestep a ton of regular web security. If you run a popular extension you will get offers to buy the extension which is a nice
