Ah yes, I see what you mean. OP has posted content from Ten Epstein Revelations You Might Have Missed, which is the article that I see after the Israel/X story.

[-] Deebster@programming.dev 9 points 18 hours ago

You scrolled past the (annoying) "read more" button and are now on the next article.

[-] Deebster@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah ok, I guess that's what's meant.

I'd be interested to know how the patterns changed - perhaps requests moved to IPv6 which made grouping request origins harder, or maybe too many unconnected users were coming from a single IP and getting false positives (leading to bad UX and support requests).

Throttling efforts led to "brownouts" via 429 errors

Does this mean for the (ab)users, or for the repo? If it's for the bandwidth hogs, then the brownouts are properly a good thing, as it'll force people to pay attention to these otherwise unmonitored systems.

Also, if it makes the upstream service seem flaky and unreliable, it could convince users to set up the proper caching proxy just for self-interested availability reasons.

I can see some companies happily paying for access, as they'll think it's easier than paying someone internally to manage a proxy/mirror, especially as on-prem is unfashionable lately.

I think you fellow solvers will find this talk interesting. There's a few minutes of the usual who am I and what is AoC but there's some good stuff about growing pains, the puzzle design process and why he likes to throw in a hard puzzle in an early day.

edit: bah, I see it was already posted - the Lemmy search doesn't seem to find it unless you limit the search to URL...

I'm gutted to hear this - I'm a big fan of Crucial memory and SSDs and all of my systems have at least one thing from them.

Micron will keep shipping Crucial products until the end of February 2026 and provide “continued warranty service and support.”

So only a few month left, plus however long they stay on retailers' shelves.

That's a good point, but a few decades of talking to clients has led to a number of conversations like this where they want it to "just work", even if they've input the wrong information.

It uses a neutral net that he designed and trained, so it is AI. The public's view of "AI" seems mostly the generation stuff like chatbots and image gen, but deep learning is perfect for science and medical fields.

Advent of Svelte (svelte.dev)

This is old news, but no-one posted it at the time.

They released a bunch of new features, including error boundaries, each without as (simple but useful), exported snippets and er LLM-friendly documentation.

There's 24 new things in total, as it was a Christmas advent thing.

Title text:

Can you pass the nackle?

Transcript:

[Cueball is holding a pointer and gesturing towards a whiteboard that shows the chemical formulas HCOOH and CH₃COOH. Below these, respectively, are classic diagramatic representations of formic/methanoic acid [with an apparently accidental doubled bond between the carbon and the hydroxy group] and acetic/ethanoic acid; being, in turn, a single- and double-carbon chain molecule with a double-bonded oxygen (carbonyl group) plus an oxygen-hydrogen (hydroxy) upon one carbon of each, to form the full carboxyl grouping, and hydrogens completing all other expected bonds.]
Cueball: The two simplest carboxylic acids are hakoo and chuckoo.
Off-panel voice: No!!

The normal complaint new Zellij users have is that it has a lot of keybindings which are likely to conflict with programs like nvim or Helix that use a lot themselves. Before, the workflow was to lock Zellij with ctrl-g which let input go through to the focused shell/program.

The new mode has most of the keybindings behind the ctrl-g lock, e.g. a new tab is ctrl-g t n (instead of ctrl-t n). You can still use alt-(cursor) for changing focus and alt-n/alt-f for a new tiled/floating pane, but all other key presses get passed along.

You can switch between default and unlock-first (non-colliding) modes so if you need those alt shortcuts you can lock everything as before.

Plus some other nice features like being able to change modifier keys while running (via the Kitty Keyboard Protocol), and autoloading the new config when you edit the file.

The source story is worth a read.

Marrero’s background is in Navy intelligence, and she earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in information security and digital management

Incredible.

she soon changed the “STINKY” Wi-Fi network name to another moniker that looked like a wireless printer — even though no such general-use wireless printers were present on the ship

Why not just switch off broadcasting the SSID?

[The CO and XO] then conducted another sweep inside the ship. Although the network that appeared to be a wireless printer appeared on their personal devices during their search, neither made additional inquiries regarding that network

No-one's coming out of this looking good.

Marrero’s secret Starlink dish was removed the same day, and Marrero told another unidentified crew member the next day that it was authorized for in-port use — prompting sailors to re-install the illegal Starlink.

It just keeps going!

[The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

I assume this latest bump is due to lemmy.world updating and now counting lurkers when assessing active users.

These are all short words full of the most common letters, so will make designing crosswords easier because they'll be useful "crossers".

Their fixes don't seem to have altered the fundamental problems with the Boeing 737 Max:

  • the new engines are too big for the frame, so they've had to move them up and forward, which makes the plane pitch up at high thrust (which is what the now infamous MCAS attempted to mask with software)
  • Boeing self-certified it as safe, claiming that it was a small, incremental change and so didn't need testing or additional pilot training
  • Boeing rushed out an unsafe design because they were scared of losing money to Airbus's A320neo

I have to fly several times a year and try to choose Airbus over Boeing whenever possible, and I flat out refuse to fly on the 737 Max. This news certainly doesn't make me feel like I was overreacting.

This is an enormously overblown headline for such a small change.
