Arg. Annoying that Edge (and I assume Chrome?) hides some request headers in the network pane. You have to click the raw button to see everything. That’s was 30 minutes of our group programming time wasted the other night. Like why hide headers even? I can’t think of a good reason to. Haven’t been able to find the right place to report an issue… hopefully remember to look some more later.

Stumbled across a page on the internet (from 2010 or so). Very well written useful information. At the bottom are a bunch of further reading posts. Pretty much all of them are 404 or moved behind a login now. One page had a helpful email address for people to email if they want a copy of the slides.

Some of them I could find by using archive.org. And how delightfully useful one was! Hand crafted html with great content hosted on a university domain. Full of soul, effort and care.

Pity perplexing apocryphal parlance.

Reminds me, fixing this would save a fair bit of energy.

I wish #mastadon saved drafts of posts client side. Mobile web does not guarantee that a page will stay. Especially on lower end phones with lower memory, tabs go away. Which means thoughtful posts disappear, and people who take a while to gather their thoughts into words are disadvantaged.

Why just client side? Because most of the privacy issues are nonexistent. I expect a tiny snippet of JavaScript could be added as part of theme if main clients do not add it.

Brandolini's law… is it more true today or less than in 2013?

The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

I really want to read a few Latin American authors in Spanish. I’m not against translations, which can sometimes even be better! But even for some famous authors like Jorge Bucay there are not really any English translations I can get my hands on (in German and French yes). In Buenos Aires probably I could find some English translations, and also found some second hand copies of one book in the USA on abe. So anyway, another reason to learn Spanish better.

I usually read fedi with boosts turned off. But I know some people communicate via boost, and I don't get to hear them. So I'm going to turn it on for a little while and try to read it all.

[#]Golang has this concept of vulnerabilities where if your code doesn’t use the vulnerable code in the package it won’t mark your project as being vulnerable to it. The #javascript and #typescript ecosystems desperately need this. I know there are more challenges in JS world to doing this in practice though. But the amount of false positives makes vulnerability reporting for #typescript and #javascript useless to many.

It’s rare to see refugees that might have the possibility to go their old home again. May the celebrations continue. Hopeful.

Reading article, These ideas seem fresh, Weird they use examples from the 80s but ok, End article only too find it was originally published in 1997. Heh. When reading in a field I’m not well read in this happens quite a bit. I think in every field there are these timeliness books and articles. Being relevant and valuable after 25 years is a pretty awesome accomplishment IMHO.

I'm pretty happy about std::simd. This is something I've been longing for over 20 years now. But it of course lacks some things... like runtime assembly.

Current experimental implementations are not as featureful as portable library/template/macro ones. Also, apparently it only considers up to AVX512 features (I'm not clear which of the dozens of extensions). Since then, there's been a whole new proliferation of matrix style instructions.

Of course portable also means old compilers...
