For people in the future who want to apply the centered viewport classless version of Pico CSS, just apply the following in Firefox's Style Editor (F12 to open DevTools, then click…

I suggest you make yourself a private fork of Pi so that you don't have to be beholden to Mario and his not-so-new clique. Create a private repo in GitHub first, then do a bare Git…

Side question: which cheap VPS are you using in Los Angeles? Looking to get one in the Southern California area.

Here is what Gemini 3 Pro gave me via an OpenRouter endpoint: The Grand Line of Mild Utility: The Orojackson Story If you were to encounter the legendary Oro Jackson in the world o…

If they did, they left out the best one: "m-m-m-m-monsterkill" Surely Anthropic could do a better job implementing dynamic thinking token budgets.

Not gonna lie: the "ultrathink" keyword that Sonnet 3.7 with thinking tokens watches for gives me "doubleplusgood" vibes in a hilarious but horrifying way.

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned rinseless washes like Optimum No Rinse (ONR) as an option for washing your car. You dilute it with water in a 1:256 solution in a bucket, an…

Dave Taht's bufferbloat project could have gotten way more actual non-technical user data had Flent supported Windows. At least fast.com and Waveform's bufferbloat test [1] exist n…

For enterprise, sure, using a separate IDM provider works, but last I checked, neither Okta nor OneLogin cater to individuals and their personal accounts. So as far as threat model…

Why recommend RED for client-side routers? Better to use more modern AQM approaches such as fq_codel or its successor cake [1][2]. Both of them are far easier to apply to client-si…

Heh, was this you [1]? Pretty much asking the same good questions you brought up in a different post. Additionally, I see that the Senior Director of Engineering, Tim Zallmann, has…

Along with a couple of others (this [1] being an example), thanks for responding. I read paganel's follow up post [2] and was flabbergasted at how out of touch he sounded. The shoc…

As mentioned in a different post, he completely missed video games. For example, Pokémon is the highest-grossing media franchise in the world. Many game companies are headquartered…

Simple: don't be poor and know people (/s). The other important question is whether a retail investor can join it. I know someone like baobabKoodaa [1] would shout from the rooftop…

Yep, there will usually be opportunities for arbitrage for active traders if there are too many passive investors. I suspect there will be some sort of equilibrium between active a…

You're thinking of "native advertising" or "advertorial."

Which form of jitter is better: adding a random wait time to a predetermined wait time that grows exponentially with each retry attempt, or following something like [0] where every…

Or taking a different view that concurs with yours: investing in index funds or broad ETFs lets me match or beat most long-term investors with nearly zero effort. There's no need f…

That's what ETFs like VXUS and IXUS are for. You get international exposure. VT is another good choice if you're lazy and just want to own a slice of the global stock market.

I figured HFT firms exist in their own bubble away from most people. So from the perspective of the average joe, they only indirectly exist as a tiny market force that does price d…
