(Clearly a much better word than simplification.) I believe we generally accept the truth that we should write simple and easy to read code in order to make it harder to create bugs and cause security problems.
I love the curl dashboard and I want to use some of the stats for other projects. I forked this repository and started generalizing the scripts. For instance, github-cache.pl grabs a copy of issues...
I don't want to come over too critical as I have a huge amount of appreciation and respect for you & curl. That said I have found that while having complexity in code is bad, it's also hard to reduce and one way that some people try to reduce it is to "hide" it across many simple looking functions. I once got my pen and paper out and found that to get from one function at the high level to the low level equivalent the path was through 5 lays of inheritance and 3 different branches
@pointswaves we don't have any specific checks for that, but all our changes are reviewed and we write code to be readable and maintainable. I consider the risk that someone would go overboard in the other direction to be slim.
@pointswaves I also had the experience of a developer breaking a long function into four or so shorter functions that called each other in sequence. I'm sure you don't have a high risk of this. My insight from that experience is that what really matters is that the complexity of the code is as low as possible considering the complexity of the problem. But the complexity metrics do not consider the problem complexity. I would rather see all the code for a complex problem in one place.

Keeps more stuff awake than regular standby. I think the idea is to get laptops closer to the “instant on” of phones and tablets. But in my experience it seems to be usually implemented pretty badly and just results in laptops overheating in bags and draining power in just a few hours.
I have old ThinkPads I can leave in standby and forget about for 3 weeks. With modern standby they’re usually dead in under 8 hours.
Something's bothering me, wanted to write up a Masto post about it up for a few days, but it wasn't until today that all my thoughts snapped into place. I read an article, "The Sony XM6 are an accomplished set of cans, but they’re not replacing my Sonos Ace anytime soon", at techradar.com/audio/wireless-h… - well written. However, it's also highly critical of the XM6 for the comfort. I have a few folks on my TL interested in these, so I wanted to weigh in with my perspective too, owning both sets of cans. For those who have super tiny earholes, or those with very large earflaps, the XM6 may indeed be a lesser-than-ideal fit. Not only are the earcups more shallow, but there's a plastic protrusion in the middle, something the XM line has had and helps with noise canceling, from what I understand. It's not large, about .7 inches long and .4 inches thick, but can dig into those with smaller earholes or if their ears are too large to align it to it comfortably in the earcup. Both can be problems. The Sonos Ace, however, has far inferior noise cancelation, in my testing. Mids in particular don't get attenuated well at all. It's far heavier, though the workmanship is very solid, with metal hinges (the XM6 has hybrid plastic-metal hinges, Sonos went all-metal on this inside the band.) The choice is yours, but for me, XM6 works well. Not others, maybe, and that's OK.
it's back to being foldable like XM4, I think better tuned drivers (less plastic-sounding than XM5, bigger sound stage with music), and a smidge better ANC. It no longer does the light ANC that XM5 did where it starts out super low and only loud sounds trigger a ramp-up into more intense ANC modes, something I really, really hated about XM5 sadly but glad they removed. It's still on a lighter setting initially, but not super light to block out snoring and will adjust to a slightly stronger pressure if it detects louder sounds. With XM5, moving your head ever so slightly would disengage the ANC, not so with XM6, so they addressed that complaint too. It supports Auracast and LE-audio now as well if you have the hardware BT support, which is nice but expected as a lot of the flagship ones do this now.
I still enjoy the Sonos ace as night-time headphones. They're far more comfortable to lay on (I've had very sore ears from time to time when the XM6 dug into the outer perimeter of the ear.) This has taught me to always adjust the fit and band if it's too loose, but beyond it, daily wear for me is great for hours. Since the Ace does have the less ANC, for hearing alarms and other morning noise to wake up to but blocking out snores or other lighter background TV speech, it works well. I still think Bose stands out for their adjustable ANC and ambiance modes, something neither of these pairs of earphones have. Sigh. No perfect one exists, they all really do have strengths and weaknesses huh.
have you ever tried something like Sleep phones? a headband with headphones in it. Sound quality isn't as good as traditional headphones, but it's good for going tosleep with.

on the topic of chromophobia, I love this little book by David Batchelor with the same title press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/b…
> The central argument of Chromophobia is that a chromophobic impulse—a fear of corruption or contamination through color—lurks within much Western cultural and intellectual thought. This is apparent in the many and varied attempts to purge color…
one way to understand the chromophobic impulse is to look at it through binaries of prestige. if you had to associate subdued, pale, or black-white colours with one, and saturated, vibrant, strong colours with the other, between, say, Europe and Asia, which is the subdued one, which is the colourful? what about Black people and white folk?
for each binary you can think of, which one is "colourful"? - adults vs. children - straight vs. queer - masculine vs. feminine - civilised vs. indigenous - high-class vs. lowbrow - citizens vs. immigrants - residents vs. wandering folk - …
in basically every single case, the world of strong colours is relegated to whoever is despised in society. the pleasure of colour is too immediate, too sensorial and hedonistic for the sophisticated colonisers. adult civilised life is to be made of white walls, marble statues, beige appliances and pale wooden furniture; those are tasteful; the tasteless enjoyment of colours is relegated to exoticised adventures, a trip to Morocco or to your wive's embrace of silky lingeries, or to the movies to watch children's animation… before you return to the tame, controlled normalcy of desaturated palettes.
The central argument of Chromophobia is that a chromophobic impulse - a fear of corruption or contamination through color - lurks within much Western cultural and intellectual thought.

One of my closest and longest friends is starting a new YouTube channel documenting his journey to fulfill a life-long dream of his. Even though he's low vision, through a new program available in Ontario, he has the opportunity to gain his drivers license via the use of a bioptic telescope. If you love cars as much as he does, are just curious, or are a low vision person interested in what a program like this could mean for you, check out his first video on the channel! As far as I know, this is the first time someone has documented the journey of learning to drive with a bioptic telescope from day one, from the perspective of a person with a disability, rather than a doctor or other medical professional. You can find the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GZdw1CzYtI#a11y#cars#driving#accessibility#disability
I’m not low vision, but I am still going to check this out. This is so cool! I wish I could have my drivers license. Come on autonomous vehicles, hurry up and get here already!
Given the GPS in my phone can't reliably direct me to the place I'm trying to go half the time, I'm gonna hold off on trusting self-driving cars lest I leave my house intending to visit Toronto and end up in the river.
@quanin@lynessence with the many issues around public transport, most of the time my flight or train gets rerouted and that happens to me anyway. Or the human cab driver drops me somewhere random and leaves. At least a self driving car would take me to the wrong place in comfort.
You're not wrong. But your first mistake in this case is using any of the Ottawa taxi companies. Granted the plural of anecdote is not data, but I've never had that problem with Uber. I can count on one hand the positive experiences I've had with Ottawa's one taxi company pretending to be three.
Huh. I wonder what the difference is. Generally speaking if I'm actively communicating with the driver they develop a clue. If we ever do that thing where we meet in-person we should compare notes or something.

I'm a privacy fan, also like your mail. However, there are some misinformation in your video: 1. Mailbox isn't open source # It's stingy to avoid mentioning Proton just because it's your competitor
2. Session is excellent, but it ISN'T Eu based (Australia and US based instead)
3. Vivaldi isn't fully open source, LibreWolf is better
4. Ecosia anonymises user data within one week, not immdediately nor no-logging, so not private

I switched to Garuda Linux instead of windows. PCloud instead of Google drive. Vivaldi instead of Chrome and Edge. Startpage instead of Google search. OnlyOffice instead of MS Office. Tuta instead of Gmail and outlook. Tuta calendar instead of Google calendar. I was wondering if I could remove my contacts from goggle and sync the contracts in my phone from the ones from Tuta contracts.
That's nice, keep it up ☺️ Besides, you need some marketing too. If people don't know about your service, then how are they gonna buy it? Proton and Tuta provide the same kinda service, Tuta just lacks UI/UX and marketing.
@heartshadows Our Paid plans are more advanced and offer a lot more than before, which is reflected in the prices. But we still have the full fledged free version which is very generous and is on par with other entry level paid services. But it was and will always stay free no matter what.
Laptop: Thunderbird, mailbox from ISP (with out-of-the-box much better spam protection than Tuta), Posteo+SMIME and Disroot.org. Phone: native client with same mailboxes, and clients from Mailbox.org and Tuta for other few mail.
From Firefox to Brave, from Brave to Vivaldi. Ten years on Proton mail, but I'm considering Tuta. I'm not making a comparison, they are both great, but I like Tuta and their communication and listening to users. Also Adobe -> Serif Affinity. Apple Notes and Notion to Joplin. Gemini -> Mistral. PIA VPN to Surfshark. I am now waiting for Tuta cloud, I don't have a suitable replacement for this yet. Let’s go Tuta team!
Just looked at a very nice #reverb by #SonicAcademy called #Vela. It has some pretty unique features, I'm not so sure it can emulate classic reverbs adequately though (at least according to their quiz I got a 78% in favor of the Bricasti M7, Lexicon 480L, VSS3 and Strymon Big Sky).
Not a go to reverb for me, but the price is more than reasonable and it sounds great. You can also check it out at sonicacademy.com/products/vela #audio

That's a shame. I remember it being up a while back (I was thinking quite recently, but I think it was more like 2005 in retrospect) and them still hosting a TCP/IP stack on there for Windows 3.1 :)
this is interesting, but i don't quite agree. i don't think this is model collapse, per se. i believe when you do "search" with an LLM, what you are actually doing is RAG: they are not constantly re-training their models on the online content they added to their index over the last 48hrs, they are querying their vectorized index of that content with your vectorized search terms, dumping that context into the LLM, and returning a long, chatty result. theregister.com/2025/05/27/opi…
what we're seeing is actually far worse. it's a general **epistemological collapse**. the open web is getting filled up with garbage LLM content to the point that it is becoming difficult to find useful results, regardless of whether it's an LLM search or a regular search.
the original task of internet search engines was to help users find a needle in a haystack. that was a solvable problem, and they were very good at it **because the haystack was finite** but now LLMs are generating an infinite haystack of slop and deliberate misinformation.
when biologists cloned sheep in the 1990s, it was a red alert for bio-ethics, and some pretty strict rules were set for what you can do with a human genome, because everyone knew that once some lab-created horror made it out into the population, there was no way to fix it.
i feel like we are at a similar moment with the ecosystem of human knowledge and no one is talking about it like the civilizational emergency it is.
