Right, Anubis is a fair point, that has for sure been rising in recent months. Often when I get an Anubis page, I am reminded that I was doomscrolling and that I did not want to see the page that badly anyway, and I close the tab.

In Chromium you can turn off V8's JIT compiler for this reason. You can even opt in again for sites you trust that need the additional performance.

"Load-bearing" is maybe not the best example, but Claude uses these anthropomorphized decorative synonyms everywhere. Claude's structs don't have fields, they _carry_ them. Its programs don't log, they _narrate_. It

About half of the time, when a website doesn't work with js disabled, I realize that I didn't want to see the page that badly anyway, and I close the tab.

It doesn’t have to be espionage, it can be just operational risk. There is the case of Trump ordering sanctions against the International Criminal Court, and Microsoft blocking their accounts to comply ( https://en.wikipedia.org&#

I find this article a useful framing for understanding what is happening to GitHub right now. The original is from 2022, but this 2023 repost includes a relevant preface.

https://github.com/doy/rbw is a Rust alternative to the Bitwarden CLI. Although the Rust ecosystem is moving in NPM's direction (very large and very deep dependency trees), you still need to trust far fewer author

Property-based testing is nice, but making it coverage-driven is a game changer. It will explore code paths that naive random inputs will not trigger in a thousand years. In Rust this works very well with libFuzzer and the Arbitrary crate t

I contacted the EU DMA team about my concerns and got a real reply within 24 hours. Not just an automated message, it looked like a real human read my message and wrote a reply. I'd urge other EU citizens to do the same.

Give https://rcl-lang.org/#intuitive-json-queries a try! It can fill a similar role, but the syntax is very similar to Python/TypeScript/Rust, so you don’t need an LLM to write the query for you.

RCL ( https://github.com/ruuda/rcl ) pretty-prints its output by default. Pipe to `rcl e` to pretty-print RCL (which has slightly lighter key-value syntax, good if you only want to inspect it), while `rcl je` produces js
