What gives you confidence example.com won't start serving the HTTPS redirect though? There isn't any reason they wouldn't, and given that browsers are clearly tending towards showing big scary warnings to even accessing somet

I have been using neverssl.com for this same purpose :) My only concern would be that example.com doesn't promise to never do the 'required SSL' thing.

Sometimes I don't understand why people use those most tiny of images, at least for anything that they might ever ssh into. When there is no corresponding level of restraint in the libraries that we add to most applications, does it re

Such a satisfying read, really enjoyed this, especially since your skills are definitely beyond mine. The mesh network idea would be incredibly cool! And it's even better that it's for a good cause as well.

100% of the water that is 'used up' in a datacenter, or even in electrical generation, is evaporated into the atmosphere. The same one where the rain comes from. Everywhere East of the Rockies, they don't even have droughts,

I wish I could come back and ask you how they perform after a couple more years of "software updates" from the app providers. Considering, too, that they will also be vibe-coding them from here on out. IDK about the specs on yours

Our conventional wisdom is that the LLMs are trained on "the whole Internet" but I hope that isn't true and will be less and less true in the future. I fully agree with you that now when I decide to search Google for somethin

Insightful comment, but I'm wondering if you would comment on why ? You said you don't expect this to change. Do you think there's some limit inherent to any cybernetic 'mind' that simply cannot be overcome by any

You're not crazy. For a precious few things in my career in software, it's been really important to have an incredibly genius idea of how to design a system or how to actually implement it. Maybe 2% of the time. The rest of the ti

It's hard to take that seriously, given how obviously it's written by someone with a specific leftist agenda. For instance: "The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated." By this logic

When Subtitles are set to 'auto' i think it now automatically turns the subtitles on like that when you do the skip back command. But yeah, the Siri way (much as I loathe using Siri) is the definite way.

Was Bill Clinton fascist when 128-bit SSL was on export controls? Can’t government be simply bad or dumb anymore without having to slap the “F” word on it? We’re gonna apply it to so many things it’ll have lost its meaning soon.

No, we will only get to pick between “bought by fossil fuel lobby,” and, “degrowth moron” - case in point Newsom, a serious presidential candidate who is killing off our refineries while not doing enough to make EVs work for common people.
