I feel like SF has been full of frequently inscrutable billboards as long as I’ve been coming here — at least a decade. It’s maybe got slightly more extreme recently, with an even …

https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/commits/master/aci... shows the history of the web-platform-tests copy of WPT, which has mostly followed Hixie’s earlier updates to Acid3 …

I’d still love a way to be able to rewrite commits at merge time, via Actions or otherwise. The most obvious case is something like adding a Reviewed-By/Signed-off-by trailer based…

And enough of the time you can just match based on subject line, similar to how fixup/squash commits work with autosquash. There’s enough ways you can match up commits, with plenty…

Being based on a microcontroller and having limited RAM, I do wonder how good its ePub implementation is, especially in terms of CSS, but also in terms of dealing with larger (XHTM…

This is why a distinction is often drawn between vulnerabilities and exploits — many more things can be weaknesses in a system that can only be exploited in combination with other …

It came in macOS Tahoe 26 — a year later than on iOS and iPadOS. Personally, I find it somewhat less effective on larger screens, simply because my eyes are more likely to be furth…

Yes, every single CSS standard ever has required that.

While plausible, I would suspect it’s more likely you’ve just run into bugs than forwards-compatible error behaviour — most ePubs don’t get anywhere near actually interesting CSS!

epubcheck is meant to ensure conformance with the standards, not the interoperably implemented subset of the standards. (Which has lots of awkward questions: which implementations …

You are of course correct that ePub nowadays doesn’t mandate a given version of CSS (though earlier versions did!), but that doesn’t matter in this case: it’s non-conforming accord…

To be clear, ADE’s behaviour is not conforming to any version of the standards it claims to implement. If it had been, it would reject that specific max-width property declaration …

Another obvious example are cryptographic hash functions: if you have a function f(s) = h, you can trivially specify a function inverse_f(h) = s st f(s) = h, and if you can infer a…

Only WSL2; WSL1 was an actual subsystem.

It feels deeply unfortunate that even with Windows on AArch64 requiring ACPI that it still doesn’t suffice for Linux, unlike on x86. And I know a lot of that lies on the vendors, b…

Who is outsourced here? It’s not immediately apparent from the article that people were being outsourced?

> In a union, the only way up is seniority or, in other words, the amount of money you've paid in dues over the years. I’m unaware of this ever being the case in the UK — the lack …

Apple’s own style guide says to use the name of the appropriate release: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/applestyleguide/apsg72...

RSS 2.0 is kinda an unspecified mess, and at least 15 year ago, if you wanted to be compatible with the majority of content you needed some weird heuristics to detect which interpr…

Other common approaches: 1. Per capita 2. Per registered vehicle 3. Per trip All of these have upsides and downsides (as does “per vehicle km”), and all will paint different pictur…

https://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/tempolimit-koennte-jaehr... claims a 75% higher fatality rate on unrestricted autobahn v. autobahn with speed limits. But in general: freeways/m…

At least in SF, there’s both a phone number and a QR code on a sticker on the driver-side window, and per what’s linked from https://waymo.com/firstresponders/ it seems like that’s…

AS2 was mostly following the direction of ES4 — so it wouldn’t have diverged if it hadn’t been abandoned.

You cannot stop in a cycle lane to drop people off without first driving into the cycle lane.

A few devices do support USB 5Gbps over Lightning!
