Tangential, but what's up lately with anti-responsive design like this?

Modern mobile browsers can render traditional sites just fine. It was the killer feature of the original iPhone.

So I really fail to understand why you'd make a mobile version of your site that completely breaks on mobile.


The "killer" feature is actually that it was rendering traditional websites NOT fine, but in a bunch of hacks that would force a specific viewport width where most websites would render with reasonable font sizes and double tap to zoom to paragraph would fix the remainder.

Specifically this "killer" feature would already break traditional HTML pages with just text (that were 100% responsive even before "responsive" was a thing).

The entire mobile HTML stacks is hack on top of hacks. Like everything else in computing, TBH...


I was really disappointed not to see any mention of Claude Shannon running barbed wire comms in rural Northern Michigan.

As a native of Northern Illinois, I was pleased to see Joseph Glidden mentioned.

Edit: after reading about Claude Shannon, I too think it would have been nice if he was mentioned.


It's in the UI not the command line, but I like Chromium's thisisunsafe


I have a parallel directory deduper that uses hard links and adopted this pattern exactly.

By default it'll only tell you which files are identical between the two parallel directory structures.

If you want it to actually replace the files with hard links, you have to use the --execute flag.


rmlint will only run a previous dry-run snapshot.


I don't have any experience in Article III criminal litigation but normally that wouldn't be possible.

The appellate court cannot review something that isn't before it, and a conviction on other offenses does not bring counts 3 and 4 of the indictment before the appellate court.

Normally, I would expect there to be a process for an interlocutory appeal when a ruling is fatal to a charged offense. However, again, I'm not familiar enough with title 28 to say if that is in fact the case here.


This is not accurate with respect to the federal ruling. The judge is not disputing the murder.*

"Murder" refers to an offense under any number of legal provisions, most of them at the state level. Nearly everyone is at least passingly familiar with at least first-, second-, and—since Chauvin—third-degree murder. Many are also familiar with the concept of felony murder.

Nobody is disputing that the premeditated killing alleged in this case legally constitutes murder under New York State law.

Instead, it does not constitute murder for the purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(5)(B)(i) because the underlying federal offense—stalking—is not a crime of violence within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3).

That statute defines a crime of violence as one that "has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another" or "that by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense" (emphasis added).

Physical force is not an element of stalking, nor is there a substantial risk that physical force will be used in the course of stalking, even though it's not altogether uncommon for stalking to lead to acts of violence.


Medical Advice Generative Adversarial Networks would be a good idea.

I see some of this adversarial second-guessing introspection from Claude sometimes. ("But wait. I just said x y and z, but that's inconsistent with this other thing. Let me rethink that.")

Sometimes when I get the sense that an LLM is too sycophantic, I'll instruct it to steelman the counter-argument, then assess the persuasiveness of that counter-argument. It helps.


> Windows requiring an 'online' account, MacOS does as well

This has never been my experience. Is that new in Tahoe?


It isn't. There's no such thing in macOS. Local and iCloud accounts are not necessarily linked, never been.


Yes, as pointed out, I was mistaken, but then in my defence, I've only ever set up one Mac, 5 years ago, so I've only seen 'that screen' once.



Hmm? Seems to be getting plenty of development.

https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/activity


That’s a fork, which is fine. But for example, users from most mainstream distros will have to compile it themselves.

I guess we’ll see if that development is ever applied to the main branch, or if it supplants the main X branch. At the moment, though… if that’s the future of X, then it is fair to be a little bit unsure if it is going to stick, right?


the kind that introduces regressions?

there is a reason lead developer of X11Libre left Xorg project, they did not like broken code: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1760 (and many more if you search)
