While I agree that there are lots of problems around security communication, I don't feel like the number of CVEs fixed is a good proxy for bad security, I would assume it's more the opposite. Like the more incident reports an air

You are free to choose opening a consultancy yourself and take on the salary risk as well as reap the rewards. Companies also currently aren't completely banned from firing people. If and when they do, it can look like you described, w

You are thinking of the continuity of work, colleagues, and responsibilities. Those are of course good to have, especially from the perspective of the company. But from the perspective of the individual worker, a much more important continu

I spent too long writing this so I might as well submit it here. It's about a weird Firefox? Fedora? AMD? performance regression, but actually not really as it's about Go image encoder file size & latency.

Not the author, but last time I checked (3y ago), the fonts CDN was surprisingly slow, like hundreds of milliseconds of latency. As the website I was optimizing was selfhosted, also selfhosting the font had a noticeable effect on the page l

It's a pretty deep rabbit hole. For semantic search CLIP and cosine similarity are just fine. SmolVLM(2) mentioned by spacecadet looks interesting though. I haven't integrated face recognition myself, but [deepface] seemed pretty

Similar one I wrote a while ago using Pupetteer for the IoT low power display purposes. Neat trick is that it learns the refresh interval, so that it takes a snapshot just before it's requested :) https://github.com/Smi

You do not need a banner, you need informed consent. I'm sure there are other ways of getting consent other than a half screen pop-up with a big red accept button on first visit, but they probably won't get 70% "opt in"

In Go you can do errorf("%w: %s", err, path) so that you get "file not found: foo/bar.json", while still being able to match on the wrapped error value with errors.Is(). The caller can do the same with this error an

Check out https://github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite if you're interested in trying out Sqlite in Go again. Nice interface, negligible compile time impact, fast, compiles without CGO. It's very comfortable. I agr

APIs sure, installing on desktop, no. A bit further down on the page linked via the second link: "On desktop: Firefox and Safari do not support installing PWAs on any desktop operating systems."

YMMV but Copilot (Bing w/ GPT4 toggle) does alright: https://gist.github.com/SmilyOrg/c0f60a41e9fcbbffdbf5454a500... Obviously it could be completely wrong, but it certainly _seems_ to comprehend geometric algebra

I'm not sure how to respond to this, it just seems to be quite a distorted Apple-centric view. I will leave a few references and make of it what you will. "only player in mobile space" iOS had 28% market share when the letter

I'm not trying to say it was good on mobile, from many accounts it was apparently bad. But we never got to find out for real, did we? It's irrelevant though as if Apple cared so much about preserving the user experience, they woul

Thanks! Well, mostly that it's text / XML you usually have to parse in full and boundaries are data heavy, so if you have anything more than a world map, I don't see that working very well. In contrast with the OP or GeoPacka

SVG is kind-of terrible for maps, but you can get pretty small with GeoPackage (read: sqlite). I recently spent a bit too long on exactly this problem and ended up with the following. 116KB - 5MB for country borders 16MB - 52MB for ~50K cit

For what it's worth as another Flash/AIR developer, this is exactly how it happened. Apple is just very good at spinning the narrative in their favor, i.e. it was because of "stability/security/performance issues&qu
