“As long as Putin is relatively strong and able to maintain the balance between groups of influence, Prigozhin is safe for him,” Tatiana Stanovaya, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, recently wrote. But, she went on, “war breeds monsters, whose recklessness and desperation can become a challenge to the state should it show the slightest weakness.”

It looks like .rs registrar is serious with it taking 24 hours to update.

Much like the creator of JavaScript, I was once given ten (working) days to develop a language. But I blew it all on a macro assembler for the soft processors that were being used in the FPGAs of a product we were developing. So no lasting fame or impact outside a failed startup. But on the other hand... I have also caused no harm. 😆

I wonder how many people don't know that Firefox's "reader view" can bypass a lot of paywalls they hit. You'll have to hit refresh after enabling it on a page, but that's it. No special extensions required.

(This doesn't work on all paywalls. Just the ones that initially deliver you the content on the page before some javascript takes it away.)

so very twisted:

“Also on the panel was Libby Locke, a well-known media defamation lawyer who has pushed for judicial review of Sullivan, as well as state-level legislation that could make it easier for plaintiffs to bring and win libel cases…

Ms. Locke’s firm filed a $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News on Dominion’s behalf. Fox has invoked Sullivan as part of its defense.”

It's not the *best* reason to leave a technical ecosystem, but when React's influencers fail to understand browser and OS schedulers while pitching a userland scheduler, maybe keep an eye out for smoke?

Fire is highly probable.

I wish Apple would make a watch that just has all the health sensors in it but no screen. It could look like a jewelry version of the AirTag.

Hearing all the stories tumble out of how FB people *called people's bosses* when they (accurately) critiqued React cements for me that Karen.js has had a good run, but needs to go.
