To accelerate server crashes?

A battle in The Third Mithridatic War was interrupted by a meteorite, according to Plutarch. Armies of both sides, being a superstitious bunch, decided to stop fighting.

> The clouds split, the sun was covered in an inorganic manner, and a meteor careened from the atmosphere towards the ground.

Reminds me of how on Stripe’s dashboard I keep getting prompted for a password; I can just click cancel and everything continues working fine. Anyone knows what’s up with that?

Refreshing a few times (which I'm sure helps with whatever issue stripe's having) leads to a more friendly looking error page

Is Javascript in Linux kernel an end?

Not seeing pinterest is worth more

There’s a reason for the saying "going postal"

The universal solution is also great for spreading fire. In many places the trash chute violates fire code

Fascinating how expressive just solid-colour squares can be. In his "The Assassination of Julius Caesar" video near the end, seeing the red square wiggle and then spin felt very emotional.

Is there a name for this type of animation style?

Overall, this is positive news for Nikola. As it signals that they have actually built a truck.

> for consumer OS (non enterprise)

I dont think one can exclude enterprise here

> My main reason for doing this, is to compile Svelte without Node.js and possibly use Deno instead

How does a rewrite in rust make using deno easier?

Allowing anything useful would subtract from the joke

> solution to preloading resources will involve HTTP Status 403

“Access forbidden, here have this css file instead”

Or did you mean HTTP Status 103?

Does Betteridge's law of headlines apply here?

If you average AWS snowmobile out, it does about 1 Tbps. Has some latency though.

> The worst for price transparency is “same day” costco delivery by Instacart. They markup the prices but never tell you how much more you’re paying for their service

I'd rather know upfront what the total will be, instead of meaningless itemised receipts with added fees that I have no choice but to pay.

Then again, there are countries that dont include sales tax on price labels, so people must prefer the hidden fees approach.

> after twenty years OpenGL was starting to looking like a bad abstraction: it didn’t provide the capabilities application authors needed [...] The Vulkan project was a long-running effort to define a better, more modern, abstraction

For someone who knows nothing but triangles=good, why OpenGL is a bad abstraction and how Vulkan avoids the same problems?

right-click and save?

Their dev support on discord is S-tier, but every now and then some issue has to be moved to email support; where it dies. It always takes months for something to be resolved, if at all.

My only consolation is that every other provider is just as terrible.

Bytes/bits are themselves an abstraction. If you dont work with this representation directly, then this trivia can be added with others in the list of things you dont know.

I upgraded to 1Gbps a while back, mostly because the price was the same. Also though I don’t really need it. Then I realised I can now download AAA steam games in the time it takes to make a cup of tea. No need for a separate storage drive anymore.

This sounds dangerous. You’ll eventually get used to the warnings when backing out and wont even check if they’re actually false alarms. Little Timmy becoming pancake mix as a result.

> But you can also pay for a year subscription, a three-year subscription, or you can buy the heated seats permanently.

Non transferable when the car is sold, of course.

I do that. Mostly because I never remember if it was .com or .net or .dog or .io or whatever else cute tld

I think they meant that svelte cannot be used without a build step.

The fact that builds dont need a second build is nice to know, even if useless.

Then there's 50GiB/s fizzbuzz

Oh I hope iPhone 8 will support iOs 17. Would be less than nice upgrading a year too early and being stuck on lighting for the next 7 years.

> trumpification (i.e. lies upon lies and speaking as if you have a significant mental problem)

Why use both the term and explanation for it? Either the reader knows the term and has to skip the explanation, or skip the term and read just the explanation. When in doubt, using just the longer expression avoids useless noise
