The five-step process: First, make your requirements less dumb . Your requirements are definitely dumb. It does not matter who gave them to you. In fact, it's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements, because you might not question them enough. Everyone is wrong some of the time, no matter who you are. So the first step is to make your requirements less dumb. Second, try very hard to delete the part or proc....

Insane that California Democrats just passed a law to protect criminals committing fraud on party lines. California AB 2624 aka the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” is basically an attempt to prevent the investigative journalism work that has already uncovered billions of dollars in fraud. Instead of giving him the Pulitzer prize he deserves and encouraging as many other investigative journalists as possible to follow in his footsteps and help all o..

Call me crazy, but I feel like I've been reading the same fucking article over and over again the last few months. My main consumption website is Hacker News , specifically the front page. It's flooded with "AI" content, no shocker there. What's been starting to not sit right with me is the clustering of themes. Sure, when a topic is on the front page, I'm sure there are bottom feeders that see that as a signal to write an adjacent post.....

Dillo browser does not support JavaScript, so all pages are static. However, they recently added some cool features in version 3.3.0 ( https://dillo-browser.org/release/3.3.0/ ): Control via UNIX socket and Page actions, which allow you to create custom scripts and "modify" the DOM in a way. So I had the idea to create a small Lua script that executes Lua scripts embedded within the page. This is safe because Lua allows commands to be....

An article about an outgoing Baidu employee replacing himself with a chatbot reminded me of the time I replaced myself with a classmate in math class. What follows is an anecdote about humanity. Is there a lesson here? I leave that to the readers to decide.

switch to blog format where everyone hosts their own blog on tor while their online and come to each others blog to communicate. No third party servers whatsoever, no domain names. Nice idea, isn't it? What's the current state of tech supporting this?

Between 2026-05-20 and 2026-05-27 there were 75 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 708 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 10.6 % of total released titles. This was a fairly quiet week. Not a lot to showcase, but there’s Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar which is a nice word pun applied to a concept where you play a cat that can be in two places a..

What do you want to do? If your life experiences have been anything like mine (e.g., growing up in collectivist culture, a formal education in business, working in professional services), they may have conditioned you to understand what other people wanted. Your own inclinations may appear less clearly to you because you haven’t paid attention […] The post You can’t bet on yourself if you don’t trust yourself appeared first on Herbert..
