I believe koverstreet is referring to the Linux kernel Memory Management subsystem ( https://docs.kernel.org/mm/index.html )

They've absolutely both changed. The initial version I saw didn't include max effort data points on the first chart, and the plot itself was much less favorable to Sonnet at high/x…

It's a silent technology, but I'd argue it has broken through in that most of us already use it daily without knowing. Figma, Google Sheets, Disney+, Prime Video, and much more all…

Can you say more about what specific things you tripped over with Starling, and which bank you moved to? Worried I'll find myself in the same boat. It does seem like Starling has g…

Step 5.2; the browser binds the KB-JWT to the site it's on, so Site A would receive a JWT that is only valid for Site A.

> This section could easily be done by [...] Less easily than you'd think. You'd have to make an authenticated cross-origin request to the issuer, which would be equivalent to moun…

I largely agree, but I still think there's a compelling argument that blinding the issuer implicitly precludes API gatekeeping or censorship. Sites wouldn't need to pre-register wi…

The key mitigation is that the protocol - as envisioned - is mediated by the user agent; you as a website cannot silently fire off probes that tell you anything.

The Verified Email Protocol got renamed to BrowserID, and Persona was its reference implementation. This looks broadly similar to that, but with some newer primitives (SD-JWT) and …

My understanding from looking into this two years ago is that it's hit or miss for banks (depending on if they opt into device attestation stuff), no for NFC / Google Wallet, and y…

For me, it was the challenge and allure of doing something relatively difficult and rare. The first time I saw a Stop - Prevent Your Death sign[0] at depth, I knew I wanted the tra…

I found Florida's caves positively delightful at 21 C; never felt the need to dive dry. I am envious of the speleothems in Yucatán cenotes. Florida's caves are all phreatic, so you…

It's the Online Safety Act. As the government says about the OSA: "Ofcom is the independent regulator for Online Safety. [...] Ofcom has strong enforcement powers" https://www.gov.…

Cassidy Williams recently published an open source calendar that might scratch that itch: https://pocketcal.com Source at https://github.com/cassidoo/pocketcal

Interesting that Apple even allows ICEBlock on the App Store given that 13 years ago they blocked the publication of an app that notified users of American drone strikes abroad as …

I disagree that LLMs are comparable to a higher level language or framework since the fundamental output it still at the same level of abstraction. This isn't C to Python, it's Pyt…

> I don't know if that means an Apple server actually listens for the notification from the HTTP server or if the device itself maintains the connection to the server. In the case …

This covers binding Cmd+Opt+[Arrows, F, C], which is all I use: defaults write -g NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add \ "\033Window\033Move & Resize\033Left" "@~\\U2190" \ "\033Window\0…

Same branch as beta, but with different build flags. Add-ons don't need to be signed to be installed on DevEdition, there's a DevTools button in the toolbar by default, etc.

FxOS at its height was an absolutely huge resource and personnel commitment; I seem to recall it being half of MoCo, maybe more. Mark Mayo, then SVP Firefox, was quoted in a 2017 i…

You're probably looking at half that (~80 MB) per album for how normal people would've been ripping twenty years ago, so around 40 GB for 500 CDs. Contemporaneous forum post: https…

Thunderbird is housed in MZLA Technologies, an independent subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation and completely separate from the Mozilla Corporation or its CEO's remit.

Didn't expect to click on that link and end up on a blog post I wrote 10 years ago! The old Firefox Sync / PAKE stuff was fantastic for getting sync going between devices... but pe…

I think it's worth jumping in. Fifteen years ago, it wasn't clear whether Git, Mercurial, or Bazaar would win, but it was evident that something fundamental had forever changed in …

Edge and Safari have had vertical tabs for years; when the default browsers on Windows and macOS offer that affordance, it becomes more of a mainstream parity issue. Which is thank…
