A great read, thanks for sharing.
I really hope this is successful, it’s really got the spirit of what made the early internet great.
That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.
The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.
I started but then I noticed the scrollbar and realised it’s a lot longer read than I have the attention for right now - to the “read later (yeah right)” pile with you!
I think a lot of sci-fi is a warning, e.g. almost every distopian setting - I don’t think that’s hopeful, unless you argue that we’re sensible enough to heed said warnings.
It is possible to die from eating spicy food, like this 14 year old in the US: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/one-chip-challenge-pulled-shelves-teen-death-rcna103906
I’d assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I’m not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don’t see how you’d know if each server chose that option so I guess it’s more like “servers with green hosting companies”.
Don’t downvote stuff just because you’re not interested in it! There’s no algorithm you’re training, you’re just being rude to people.
Downvotes should be for worthless content and people being dicks.
Nick’s a magician, though, and he did all the usual magician tricks like signing the envelope. I suspect shenanigans, perhaps the crew being in on it.

Ah, so nothing to do with incels harassing women. Do incels have a queen?
I think Jack Dee has been the name Alex would routinely say when asked who he’d most like on - I’m looking forward to see how he handles Taskmaster.
It’s interesting that the author and most others went with 403, when 426 seems to be the most appropriate.
Neither are perfect matches, since 403 is about authentication and 426 is for Upgrade semantics (i.e. the upgrade is over the same transport protocol, not switching from http to https). npm isn’t sending an Upgrade header, which is required, but I think if it sent Upgrade: TLS/1.0, HTTP/1.1
then that would be claiming they supported TLS on port 80 (STARTTLS style) - possible but unconventional.
Absolutely, that’s what I was thinking of when I wrote “tedious”; all the stuff you mentioned matters a lot to the user (or product owner) but isn’t the interesting stuff for a programmer.
[…] a lot of AI companies are “selling dreams” that this tech will go from 80 percent correct to 100 percent.
In fact, Marcus thinks that last 20 percent might be the hardest thing of all.
Yeah, it’s well known, e.g. people say “the last 20% takes 80% of the effort”. All the most tedious and difficult stuff gets postponed to the end, which is why so many side projects never get completed.
And PC Optimiser in other regions.
I like that they used the blink tag, but then had to use CSS animation to restore the old effect.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that Nick has all the numbers for the alphabet memorised (or perhaps he watches House of Games a lot).
Yeah, it’s probably shooting the messenger. Reminds me of once on Reddit where someone had asked a similar question and I’d replied with a sourced quote from the dictionary and got complaining replies and downvotes.
I can’t see the numbers in future getting any better, unless big changes are made. Many pilgrims are quite old, since some need many years to save up enough for the journey, and of course the temperature’s only going to be going up (even after La Niña).
It’s part of the rituals to get the timing exactly right, so it’s not like it can be moved to cooler months, like has been proposed for the Summer Olympics. It is moving earlier by a week and a half each year (because of the Islamic calendar) but when you’re talking 51.8C that’s not really moving the needle.
I’d heard talk of health-monitoring bracelets, which seems sensible.
