YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers
The other day I visited youtube without any add-ons and concluded I'd rather do anything else than use youtube under those conditions.

Employee commits suicide after MongoDB fired her during mental health leave
This is something you learn the hard way about neoliberal meritocracy..."They only hire the best and you fight to get there, you're the best until you inevitably aren't at your best...and once you aren't at your best even for a moment of weakness, then you are not the best...and you never were". This is why everyone needs protection from a work culture that burns through people.

Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report
Reply in thread
Antitrust comes in waves in the US. First, it's a free for all to let the tech develop freely...then you see the horrors and a time of antitrust kicks in. This would be the 4th wave since the Sherman Act. Let's hope it's a good one.

Reply in thread
this article is better written:
it maintained bounded position accuracy within 1 nautical mile over an 83-kilometer trajectory. This performance, achieved without access to satellite navigation, represents a more than tenfold improvement over standard navigation-grade inertial backup systems under similar conditions.

Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring
Good science is boring, good politics is boring, good espionage is boring, good journalism is boring, good history is boring, good banking is boring, good business is boring. Entertainment serves us this pop view of the world...
But wikipedia is more valuable than all the LLM slop machines combined.

Hm, playing devil's advocate, I think it is because the minus has not been defined as a string operation (e.g. it could pop the last char), so it defaults to the mathematical operation and converts both inputs into ints.
The first is assumed to be a concat because one of the parcels is a string...
It's just doing a lot of stuff for you that it shouldn't be in first place 🤭

Reply in thread
Yea, looks like they used their leverage over Zelensky to lure him into a trap that turned out to be a verbal-WWE media stunt...
...turns out Zelensky is more articulate and mature than both of them combined...

I'd rather have him tried and imprisoned at the Hague. He destroys institutions. Institutions must destroy him in the end, not guns.
PS: and before the tankies rush in with their whataboutisms: Sinwar, Netanyahu and Dubbya should be made an example of too.

Trump announces annexation of Venezuela
Why? They just kidnapped some idiot frontman of the dictatorship. Venezuela's military is still there and it is unclear which side the streets will support more, especially after what the US just did. Even if it is a civil war...how are those dipshits going to "run Venezuela"?
