ok what other elements are there... hmm...
SVGElement...
which defines .focus()
what are we even doing.

stop making your notification handler not synchronize with your main UI thread!
way too many time i get a notification just to not see the message in the actual app.
this Should Not Happen.

stop 👏 miniaturizing 👏 technology 👏 until 👏 it 👏 fails
honestly i feel like a big factor in the popularity of wireless charging is just the fact that USB-C kinda sucks.
it's unreliable in a way few other connectors are.

This analysis is phenomenal, and makes so much sense. The explanation of a minimum too participate in society (like having a smartphone, or the cheapest cars being very expansive) explains why looking at inflation doesn't show you any of what's happening.

Once I established that $136,500 is the real break-even point, I ran the numbers on what happens to a family climbing the ladder toward that number"

admission: i didn't really notice the cloudflare outage. i think i experienced maybe one 403. i guess i was just doing something else during the whole time.

I wonder how existing JIT engines deal with late-bound symbols.
do they make it so that changing the definition of those symbols invalidates existing JIT'd code that uses them, thus enabling further optimization like inlining, or does it do an actual dynamic dispatch each time?

TIL the brightness keys on my laptop actually DO work fine on linux with no DE, huh..
maybe because of me installing xdg-desktop-portal in the process of (unsuccessfully) trying to fix an unrelated issue.
if your hardware is even remotely modern, you're probably best of just running a DE.

github just has such strange UI. this button is very important to being able to contribute at all if you make your remote branch a while before you try to open a PR, and for some reason, it's styled like a link.

another crazy thing about the clowdflare fiasco is it sounds like they did a staged rollout, but didn't actually catch when stuff started going down??

I used to call myself a Rust hater, but really I was just doing it to compensate for the laudable fanboyism that for example Rust tops Stackoverflow surveys as the most liked language. There are many reasons to hate C++, and I hate C++ too. Many people were waiting for a better programming language, but they got Rust instead. There are several main problems with Rust: Its compilation is slow. I mean slow. Slower than C++. I know Rust has become many times faster over the years, but objectively we need it to be not just two times, but two orders of magnitude faster.

I feel like "write into a mmaped unnamed temporary file which is then renamed over the old file" should be a common abstraction as it has good performance characteristics and prevents most disk corruption, but for some reason it just isn't.

honestly, i feel like if we didn't live in a world where everything was cost cut to hell, a corrupted BIOS would be little more than an annoyance.
theoretically, all you should need is a device that can flash the chip externally.
maybe I'm missing something, but that really doesn't seem hard.

one of these things has no perfect replacement
the other has an existing replacement that is basically better in every way
guess which one was attacked first?
