    Telco networks are sprawling and accurately defining the boundary might be harder than it sounds. Traditionally they have a bias towards "working"/delivering traffic. It's easier t…

    I wonder if the next obvious attack - 2 pushes in rapid succession, one to show and one to hide - has been handled. The browser should debounce and replace the notification with a …

    It might be possible to create/use some app compatibility shims: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-performance-t... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions…

    So: 1. Apple froze the Safari user agent in iOS 26 to be the same as iOS 18.6, so stats websites are reporting under-reporting. AND 2. Apple is for some reason rolling out/'recomme…

    Yeah wow! Even most "trusted" contributors shouldn't have this level of access. Is there really no way of scoping tokens with more granularity?

    I was thinking more for communicating the “mass disruption in progress” message - or even just distributing the manually verified “traffic lights down” data between vehicles.

    I wonder if the cars also have some sort of mesh (LoRaWAN?) network to help each other out in temporary dead zones, emergencies, etc.

    Would really benefit from some more technical details. I wonder if they rolled this out to client/Windows 11 first for some lower stakes testing.

    Incredible that no one from Google noticed this as a regression from their side and either put a workaround in or contacted Wikimedia.

    Interestingly the public of Azure’s etcd-compatible service was withdrawn before exiting preview. [1] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/154061/a...

    Seems like there’s a few places Postgres could benefit from some more consistency checks.

    (kinda) suprised there isn't environment variable to do this all in one go. Many of these can definitely be set/automated using policies.json[1] [1] https://support.mozilla.org/en-…

    Binary compatibility is necessarily at odds with the “recompile the world” philosophy. This global view has some advantages, eg. performance can be improved system wide LTO, callin…

    Presumably there's some reason Go can't just use an embedded manifest[1] like everyone else? Ahh, I'm inferring (from [2]) even with the manifest entry, a system wide registry key …

    I guess "hibernating" (writing VRAM to swap) works better than expecting userspace to gracefully handle device resets. One linear read vs. a thundering herd of processes re-initial…

    A seemingly coordinated release with the nominally independent FerretDb? What’s the relationship here?

    Huh. Apparently the “current plan without AI” is $20 more expensive than “current plan”. Guess I’m grandfathered or something.
