Yes, it's satire. There should be a button in the bottom left corner to make it all go away.

I think the moat is taste and polish. You can practically one-shot the first 80%, but the other 20% can take a long time, and the last 1% can be even longer.

If you want the basics, sure. If you want a well-polished app with no sharp edges, I think we're still not there yet.

>It's sort of weird in a world that has moved to an DevOps-style ethos for most development.

The world at large makes all sorts of trends, and that by itself doesn't make them smart. As a developer, you are likely to have blind spots when it comes to quality and reliability as a result of having written the code. Even a team of developers cross-testing each other's code will not have the same ability to find flaws (before they embarrass you in front of the customer/client/user) as a dedicated tester whose job it is solely to find new (and old) ways to break things (and document them.)

DevOps is a completely different thing (though they work together with testers.)

It is only weird to have dedicated QA on your team if you don't give a fuck about releasing shit with bugs in it for the user to bump into.

Any

Working pretty well for me.

Ah, I noticed this yesterday, figured it was just me.

While we're here, does anyone know a screen recording application that automatically takes into account display changes, audio device changes, camera resets, etc.?

I'm making do with OBS, but I lose more video to "plugged in external monitor and forgot to update OBS config" than I actually record.

Must be the first thing I've ever read on lesswrong in its entirety, let alone in one sitting.

Most similar thing I can think of is "The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect". Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect is way better and more comprehensive, imo.

Agree, we use OpenPGP.js in our web projects. It's great for combining it with server-side GnuPG.

It used to be more of a concern without TLS, but now it's reasonably secure to use.

We use it for the user sessions, allowing the client to own their session and identity.

The browser generates the keypair and signs each post and login challenge, so the private key never leaves the client. The server only stores the public key (as a plaintext file in git) and verifies signatures with GnuPG, which means there's no password hash in the database to leak, and the identity is just a fingerprint anyone can audit. Using two independent implementations (OpenPGP.js on the client, GnuPG on the server) is a nice bonus.

I have preferred not using a framework for a while, pre-LLM, because frameworks would introduce many new failure modes into my codebase, including: - bloat and assumptions I didn't ask for - constraints that I otherwise wouldn't encounter - failure modes related to the framework making breaking changes in updates

However, this basically meant implementing my own framework in a project. Which was fine.

I have now, over time, constructed a framework for agentic coding, because I found myself using the same prompting patterns...

OkCupid did it back in the day...

Would you feel the same thing about "the need to mention it specifically" if they had mentioned their boyfriend?

Your phrasing reminded me of what casual mentions of a same-sex partners used to elicit, when heteronormativity was more prevalent.

Having done this for multiple sites, there's still a lot of friction and gotchas in the setup process, and it's also not guaranteed to not break/rot (e.g. have to renew the domain.)

You didn't use the word "just", but I still want to link this article:

The biggest costs are not the money, but the work and cognitive load of the thousand cuts it takes to not only bring all of this up, but keep it running, not to mention migrating the content.

However/also, "only" $12 to some is a considerable amount of money to others.

I've tried Google Maps and Waze already, they were worse.

>How big was this roundabout when it took 25 minutes doing 3 victory laps in a roundabout?

This is explained in the next sentence, I took two wrong exits and had to double back?

Thank you so much for putting into words what I have feeling but struggling to verbalize. (Boston area, drive for work.)

There is one more downside, they are easy to get lost in, especially in an unfamiliar area. Apple Maps does an OK job guiding me most of the time, but just yesterday I spent an extra 25 minutes going through the same roundabout 3 times before I went the right direction, and each time I had to drive the wrong way, turn around, and then negotiate the same roundabout again.

Based on what I just looked up, PlanetWeb 1.0-2.0 and 3.0 support HTML 3.2 and HTML 4.0, respectively, so it should work... I have not tested with this browser specifically, and it has no close relatives, but I've tested with enough mainstream and less mainstream browsers from that era to say this pretty confidently.

It starts with one.

I still generally avoid browser-specific hacks like these, aiming for lowest-common-denominator most-minimal HTML that still satisfies most browsers. However, now and then there's just no avoiding it.

I am continuously in awe of the Web's decentralized and open nature that allows something like this to happen-- for one reasonably complex file/application to be compatible with 30 years of co-evolving client software written by many different developers and teams, much of it no longer supported.

Thank you so much for this amazing resource. One of my projects is a hyper-compatible framework that builds websites that span the compatibility spectrum from Netscape 3.x to today's browsers, and this is very helpful.

This is amazing news for people building hyper-compatible websites!

Most of the things you listed are highly processed foods that are not good for you and will contribute to obesity.

Yes, thank you.

Just to help with the troubleshooting, I tried a few different browsers on Windows:

Google Chrome, Brave, Waterfox, Waterfox Classic, Firefox: error

qutebrowser: site works fine

Does anyone else see this error, and/or know what it is about?

>Secure Connection Failed

>An error occurred during a connection to textlog.cc. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Same day after I saw this story, I noticed a new unfamiliar system tray icon, and it was the installer for this thing! It hadn't installed yet, and I was able to remove it, but I guess I have to replace one of our house monitors now.

But it's not "his" problem or "my" problem, it's "our" mutual problem for "us" to figure out together, collaboratively, down to its root causes, which are yet unknown. (And in the future, to mitigate and prevent, using whatever means are available to us.)

I'm confused about how it is that because it hasn't happened to you or anyone you know, it's my personal problem that closed-source software that I have no capability to modify is working slowly or failing to work at all?
