Security researcher finds the Australian prime minister’s personal info. Very much a love it or hate it writing style, but as someone who’s lived in Australia for a while I found it hilarious.

CW: gore in header image, about one page long. PgDn gets it out of view on a 1080p screen
Posted on HN a while back. It's slightly bleak in outlook but it was what finally pushed me to take serious steps to reduce my presence online. Got rid of all my apps that weren't strictly for comms and deleted most of my socials accounts. I already feel better for the change.

#18The 100% correct way to do CSS breakpoints https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-100-correct-way-to-do-... Still needed 5 years later, yet ironically soon breakpoint will be gone
> soon breakpoint will be gone First I've heard of it. Any links? My search-fu seems to be lacking.
I guess they said breakpoints would be gone because of css container queries. Nothing else comes to my mind.
Technically, that means media size queries will be gone, and not the breakpoints themselves.

#19“Neuralink and the Brain’s Magical Future” by Tim Urban convinced me that neural laces and their development is feasible, probable and imminently worthwhile. It made it clear that visionaries like Musk seem like total lunatics unless you break problems down into their absolute atomic principles. His drawings are also really funny. He blows the brain up to the size of Madison Square Garden and shows that at this scale each cubic meter has 40,000 neurons in it, a complex system in itself that becomes near incomprehensible once you factor in the rest of the blown up cortex that would take half an hour to walk around. You get a sense for the immense difficulty and yet deterministic physics of the problem.
