I would say the main political crisis of the moment isn't one about being right but about consistent plans. The plan for a Green economy is pretty clear since more than a decade and revolves around Smart Grids. Without these no decentralized energy, no storage etc. Indeed that's something that was done right and proofs actual long-term plans are worth it.

The irony is, at this point even many environmentalists don't oppose Nuclear anymore. But there's still the lack of a coherent plan. Where should the fuel come from? How is EOL of a power plant handled? How is it paid? The answers changed a lot in the last decades.

Apart from this the last 5 years were a PR disaster for the Greens. Protesters (Last Generation) have been connected to them although the LG is even protesting against the Greens. When there were these massive floods the Greens actually lost votes instead of gaining those.

Autism with adults is rarely presented and very individual anyway. I like to see such issues like some wound. Sure you can continue your daily chores. But if you accidentally rub against it, it gets worse and worse. Eventually you need to make a longer break so it doesn't get infected like crazy.

The whole masking thing isn't about skill. (Like in the intro, the guy is in fact even outgoing at times...) It's rather that you need to run behavior with software instead of hardware acceleration. Possible but it sucks.

That being said, the whole thing with falling asleep at the desk is a tough manifestation. For me it's less drastic but gets me into problems in the long run.

The myth of the lonely hero (and probably risk taker) has been mentioned as a problematic factor before

Literally the only reason that kept me on the platform until recently despite becoming increasingly hostile to developers...

I heard in some lines of work at SAP people get paid to sit in lobbies the first half year

I haven't used OrbStack in a while but would you say Colima or OrbStack is faster? At least on Intel Mac Colima is for me way better than Docker. Also better than Podman in terms of compatibility, although I had to switch back to Docker Desktop since I need full compat.

I used to have an old dot matrix printer with my PC in the 90s from my dad. Of course it was also possible to put in "normal" paper as the top unit was removable and print with ttf fonts. My mom liked the printing of the dot matrix printer much more though than the inkjet I later had. (Not sure though if it was an MX-80 or a later model/edition)

Have you double-checked whether the IP isn't shared among multiple website domains? That's quite a classic with IP based filtering with hosters like GCP...

> They are removing XSLT just for being a long-tail technology. The same argument would apply to other long-tail web technologies.

That's a concise way to put it. IMHO this is also the main problem of the standard.

However I think XSLT isn't only long tail but also a curiosity with just academic value. I've being doing some experimentation and prototyping with XSLT while it was still considered alive. So even if you see some value in it, the problems are endless:

* XSLT is cumbersome to write and read

* XML is clunky, XSLT even more so

* yes there's SLAX, which is okay-ish but it becomes clear very fast that it's indeed just Syntax sugar

* there's XSLT 2.0 but there's no software support

* nobody uses it, there's no network effect in usage

I think a few years ago I stumbled upon a CMS that uses it and once I accidentally stumbled upon a Website that uses XSLT transformation for styling. That's all XSLT I ever saw in the wild being actually used.

All in all XSLT is a useless part of the way to large long tail preventing virtually everyone from writing spec compliant web browser engines.

> The promise is, "This is HTML. Count on it."

I think after HTML4 and XHTML people saw that a fully rigid standard isn't viable, so they made HTML5 a living standard with a plethora of working groups. Therefore the times where this was ever supposed to be true are long over anyway.

So indeed the correct way forward would be to remove more parts of a long tail that's hardly in use and stopping innovation. And instead maybe keeping a short list of features that allow writing modern websites.

(Also nobody is stopping anyone from using XSLT as primary language that compiles to HTML5/ES5/CSS)

Yeah this is funny. The CDNs basically started more than a decade ago pushing vast amounts of data through the networks. Their complaint even if valid feels like hypocrisy.

Either way, the CDNs profit big time from the AI scraping hype and the current copyright anarchy in the US

Nobody is going to read these test cases any way, except when troubleshooting or adding new code. But that is never any of the stakeholders

It's quite funny that now with AI-based no/low code the same thing is attempted again. Even if the regexes might disappear, it's even more text, with even less structure (assuming anyone checked those prompts into git in the first place)

I once met the Borg author at a conference, pretty chill guy. He said that when people file bugs because of data corruption, it's because his tool found the underlying disk to be broken. Sounds quite reliable although I'm mostly fine with tar...

I definitely had to tweak the settings a lot for the battery to not get warm on my Pixel. But after a week I managed and battery life is better than with comparable phones since the background bloat isn't there on Graphene.

So far there was a solution for everything, I don't do online banking on the phone though.

I wonder if LineageOS might solve this problem already though, /e/os probably would as well

As a kid I had Internet access since the early 90s. Whenever there was some actual technology to see (Internet, mobile gadgets etc.) people stood there with big eyes and forgot for a moment this was the most nerdy stuff ever

I looked for the right term but force-feeding is what it is. I yesterday also changed my default search engine from Duckduckgo to Ecosia as they seem the only one left not to provide flaky AI summaries.

In fact I also tried the communication part - outside of Outlook - but people don't like superficial AI polish

Yes, it was a British colony... Either way, the vast majority moved there after the state was established. And yes, most suffered prosecution around the world including Arab countries. Pogroms against Jews are documented since centuries.

I don't think it's possible to understand the whole issue without taking into account how people fled into Israel, both because of genocide in Europe as well as prosecution in multi-ethnic yet predominantly Arab states. Germany being in an awkward position of being an economically dominant state but also having contributed to the whole misery. Also the US is far from neutral probably due to deeper ties that are just part of reality. You cannot undo the past but I don't think it's possible to unroll the whole problem without properly confronting it. The increasingly horrific escalations have obviously completely detached from any reason

Wow, they've been really slowly moving towards this. I remember when I heard this for the first time, must have been more than half a decade ago, sounded like a logical step. I'm surprised they didn't want this to happen any faster though

Yeah I mean Solar itself seems to be generally considered low tech by now.

Also the failure modes of Nuclear involve some sort of "real time response". In a classic reactor when the power goes off unexpectedly, one needs to make sure that it receives cooling to not risk a meltdown.

The only open problem is storage but I guess there are also reasonably low complexity options like hydrogen or water pumps.

Yeah, problems are way deeper and would have to be addressed in such a concept. Last year I read a Graphical Novel about it (Seek You) which goes into great detail. Root causes includes dysfunctional TV stereotypes (the lonely hero) among others.

Yeah, I'm definitely going for Unity since I'm exploring XR. But at the same time I'll also look into Unreal which will take longer anyway. (The features seem to be quite amazing, also integration with 3D animation software)

Well yeah, I mean it has browser-based e2e encryption which is why search only applies to subjects/addresses. For more Proton bridge is needed. IIRC it's possible to also search the message bodies directly but it's quite slow.

To be fair Protonmail has much more to offer than "just" privacy friendly legislation. The free web mail client is full-featured, time tested and has no ads. That in my opinion already puts it ahead among the main mail providers. Also it has the Proton bridge, VPN etc. etc. I'd say it really depends on the personal threat model and willingness to DIY. My main complaint with it is bad interoperability with gpg though. (I'm not sure how anything less is supposed to help with end-to-end privacy...)

What are actually good alternatives?

Everybody and their dog are writing AI scrapers with Captcha passing functionality these days. None of that is new but the scale is unseen.

The thing is also that corporate scrapers are in comparison even the good guys, they respect robots.txt, have properly set user agents etc. Others might do neither and from residential IPs.

The issue isn't even new but any proper solution attempts have been postponed because CDNs seem such an easy solution.

> Kinda crazy that the magnitude is so small! (my next [admittedly rather cynical] thought is "who funded this?")

If a significant part of someone's Social life is run through Facebook, it's surprising that there's even a net positive in the end.

Actually even in the years before AI code generation started, I noticed an increase in code bases that seem very well architected and engineered. But once you start using the code for a week you notice it's full of bugs and the consistent architecture is just make believe. Surely this problem is getting way worse with generated code that is optimized to read like it's very well engineered

I don't think channels should be used for everything. In some cases I think it's possible to end up with very lean code. But yes, if you have a stop channel for the other stop channel it probably means you should build your code around other mechanisms.

Since CSP is mentioned, how much would this apply to most applications anyway? If I write a small server program, I probably won't want to write it on paper first. With one possible exception I never heard of anyone writing programs based on CSP (calculations?)

I know, I had the problem when I got the Pixel. Already with the stock Android and then when installing Graphene. It took one or two weeks of tweaking until the battery life was on par with LineageOS. Not sure if I'd be able to reproduce it, but I think a combination of display settings and stand-by/background services. It's a thin line though, also making sure that Whatsapp notifications still work.

Yeah it's really great, before switching to GrapheneOS I used LineageOS for years so battery life is already good in that case. But the whole access control, and checking every few months which apps are hardly used is just super practical. I don't do online banking on my phone though, I guess for people who do it's not feasible. The only thing I don't like is that it only works with Google Pixels
