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? I personally can tell straight away you can do this on Tor an I2P, just by running local node, you can setup up your localhost blog with sqlite or whatever for comments, hosted through any..

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..

When I volunteered at the Python booth at our local tech conference, the #1 question was "how do I get better at programming?" Fortunately there is an easy answer: Automate the Boring Stuff By Al Sweigart Instead of teaching "programming" or "Python", he focuses on actually doing things. First you learn some of the basics to get started, then you actually write real programs. By narrowly focusing on about 30% of the language, y..

Last November, Hrag Balian and Emily Chu were in a group chat on the secure messaging app Signal to monitor U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in the San Gabriel Valley. Someone sent a message asking if anyone knew about a data center proposal in Monterey Park. No one did, so Balian and Chu, a [...]

I adore programming books... for a specific use case. If I want to learn a lot about a subject, nothing is better than a book: it was edited, so ideas and text are consistent the examples worked (at some point in time) the author has enough time-space to clearly describe a lot of material well they stay relevant for a LONG time, so there's a lot of them, and they can be very inexpensive.

Israeli Claims About An Iran ‘Threat’ Were Always A Lie. Now We Have Proof

Could it be that Israel’s 30-year narrative about Iran – one that persuaded US President Donald Trump to wage a criminal and disastrous war of aggression – was always a fiction, an invention cooked up in Tel Aviv? Far from Tehran posing an existential danger to Israel, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed for decades, might Israel’s real fear [...]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday instructed his military to seize fully 70% of the Gaza Strip, according to Al Jazeera. According to the ceasefire negotiated by Donald Trump last October, Israel retained 54% of Gaza territory in the first phase, with an eye toward an Israeli withdrawal. Since then, the Israeli army has annexed further [...]

Last week, the world watched as Donald Trump wrangled up his bro-squad of capitalist billionaires and chartered them across the world to China. We watched in disbelief as the China-hating Trump administration paraded around Beijing gawking at beautiful ceilings and giant rose bushes. “China is beautiful,” Trump said. All the while, the top U.S. oligarchs [...]

Israel’s standing among the U.S. public is at an all-time low after Americans have witnessed two- and-one-half years of live-streamed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, fueled by tens of billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer-provided weapons and diplomatic cover. Last August, a Quinnipiac poll found that 60 percent of all Americans, including 75 percent of Democrats [...]

The Modern City Against Climate In many cities around the world, walking outside in the middle of summer has become a physically exhausting experience. Concrete burns. Facades radiate heat long into the night. The air feels motionless, dry, sometimes almost unbreathable. Trees are disappearing, soils are sealed beneath asphalt, rainwater is evacuated from cities as [...]

It’s been record hot in parts of Europe and Asia over the last week and this has provoked an outburst of three things that have become de rigeur whenever this happens: The first one is baked in to the conversation, you might say, if you were reaching for an appropriate metaphor. And normally I’d not be that bothered. But [...]
