I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.
We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parties.

@nolan We also make sure that each of the pieces were individually useful because we couldn't predict which would make it through the standards gauntlett, and at which rate. Each one had to earn their own keep. I like to think we did OK there.

@nolan It's as ironic that frameworks benefit from `` as it is that they benefit from `class Foo extends Bar`.
Good platform features have the property of generality *by design*.

Anyway, if you think you can afford to build with React or Angular in 2023/2024 because phones keep getting faster, congrats, I guess, for being consistent?
Consistently wrong -- hasn't been even moderately plausible for a decade -- but consistent.

The good news is in multi-core, where the gap is still growing, but not as fast. This is in line with new process nodes finally reaching the lower-end of the price curve, but Qualcomm, MediaTek, etc. have a LOT to answer for. The failure to add meaningful caches and compete on performance continues to harm not just the high-end, but trickles down in a terrible way.

For lazy-loaded images, CSS is often available before the image load begins. The browser can take the actual width of the image from CSS and use that as if it was the image's sizes.

“…ample evidence has been collected, like the bodies of women found partially or fully naked, women with their pelvic bones broken, the accounts of medical examiners and first responders, videos taken by Hamas fighters themselves, and even a few firsthand witnesses like a woman, in a video made public last month by police officials, who said she had watched Hamas terrorists take turns raping a young woman they had captured at a music festival, mutilate her and then shoot her in the head.”

Recent from Armin Ronacher is worth a read: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2023/12/1/the-python-that-was/
It strikes a note with me, although I don't agree on a couple of points.
Like, "runtime errors flying left and right [..] because bad types were passed". No, most of the errors were and still are from wrong *values* being passed. Also mutable state, tight coupling and incomplete understanding of the domain. Unless your kind of programming is implementing some formal spec, types will only catch the most trivial errors.

I missed this story a couple of weeks ago.
When someone tries to tell you that Republicans and Democrats are all the same, that voting gets you nowhere, or that who you elect doesn’t matter, they’re lying to you whether it’s knowing or not. It always matters and it does get things done.
Great job, Michigan Democrats and Gov. Whitmer.
