SIDN digitaal toegankelijker sidn.nl/nieuws-en-blogs/sidn-d… Onze missie is ‘een kansrijk en zorgeloos digitaal bestaan voor iedereen’. Daarom zetten we flinke stappen in toegankelijkheid. We willen dat iedereen met of zonder beperking, gebruik kan maken van onze website #accessibility
This is (even more) aggro than I'd be about React (and, surprisingly, religion), but this line is the pure, uncut truth:
"React is useful for making complex interfaces like Facebook’s or for making otherwise simple interfaces, and their underlying codebases, complex like Facebook’s."
Christ on a cracker, @heydon; leave something for the rest of us!
@tedmielczarek if your organization could not seriously consider building a basic version of React/k8s itself, it is not equipped to deal with the complexity costs they will incur
Not much concrete stuff yet, but I've published the first post in my series about Using The Platform: dev.to/zkat/i-was-isekaid-into…
Over time, I'll fill this out with both what I've done so far, and with any interesting tidbits I'm figuring out along the way. I think it'll be a good exercise for me to document this stuff as its getting built from the ground up. The app is still really early, but I've still learned SO MUCH. I hope you do, too.
Let's hold hands and take down the JavaScript Industrial Complex with the Power of Friendship!
Join the State of the Browser #SOTB 2024 conference on Saturday, 14 September, at the Barbican Centre in London.
This one-day, single-track conference, organized by the London Web Standards, covers the modern web, accessibility, web standards, and more.
TetraLogical's director, @SteveFaulkner, will be speaking on "No Industry for Old Men," reflecting on key developments in the web accessibility space over the years.
If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:
Jestliže vhazujeme PET lahve do žlutých kontejnerů, tak můžeme klidně víčka na lahvích nechat. Obsluha u třídících linek totiž víčka sundává. Důvod je prostý. Výkupní cena HDPE je totiž vyšší než u samotných PET lahví a též recyklace probíhá trochu jiným způsobem. Víčka mají všelijaké barvy a nejdráže se vykupují víčka červená.
Nakonec asi dává, čím víc se jim vrátí víček tím víc vydělají.
Learn PHP, it is getting some serious attention and funding. Open-source framework Laravel has raised a $57 million Series A from Accel fortune.com/2024/09/05/laravel… #opensource #php
Backwards compatibility is alway tricky. The API methods are one thing, but behaviour is another. Just because an older curl never did a thing does not mean it will never start to.
In this case, the graceful connection shutdown involves operations outside of any application transfers. And some event-based applications are, understandably, surprised by that.
Hello Team Tuta, While new accounts are going straight into the 'quantum safe' encryption protocol, weren't the older accounts going to be migrated off the old encryption protocols in due course?
If so, is that being done? Has it started? Has it finished? Will users be notified?
Are there things we can do to assist, like staying 'logged out' for a specific time?
New fiction from me: What happened when we abolished borders.
"In the twilight of the 21st century, humanity was staring into the abyss of declining birthrates.
For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, our numbers as a species were declining every year. Capitalist economies premised on the assumption of infinite growth couldn't cope. Stock markets stagnated, inflation surged out of control. Governments had belatedly tried to address the problem, but every means of encouraging people to have kids—longer parental leave, tax breaks, cash payments, religious scolding—had failed.
Rural villages were emptying out, becoming ghost towns. Grass and weeds pushed up through cracked pavement in silent streets. Abandoned cars decayed on the roadside. Vacant houses were overgrown with vines, dry leaves and birds' nests. Trees sprouted like the vanguard of an invading army as forests spread and reclaimed the urban areas humanity had ceded."
I just registered for a hotel with this pop-up for the title of the person / people staying. It's nice that they tried. They have some combinations, like Dr and Mr, which are often omitted, but they have some weird omissions. Lesbian couples are welcome as long as exactly one has a PhD, but they can't express the option where either both or neither has one. Maybe they know something about correlations between educational levels and sexuality that I don't?
More seriously, there is absolutely nothing in the provision of accommodation that requires you to know the gender of people staying (or whether they have any kind of doctorate), so the easiest way of getting this right is not to ask.
It still mildly annoys me that every hotel I've stayed at for ages has required me to select a title, I've entered Dr, and they then address me as Mr when I check in: why bother collecting data if you're not going to use it?
The only thing I can guess is that maybe they're still clinging to the convention that addressing someone by first name is overly familiar, so they have to use something like "Mr." instead.
Devastating review of the degrowth literature (561 studies):
- 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...' - [those that do] 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases' - 'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'
It astonishes me that people expected LLMs to be good at creating summaries. LLMs are good at transforms that have the same shape as ones that appear in their training data. They're fairly good, for example, at generating comments from code because code follows common structures and naming conventions that are mirrored in the comments (with totally different shapes of text).
In contrast, summarisation is tightly coupled to meaning. Summarisation is not just about making text shorter, it's about discarding things that don't contribute to the overall point and combining related things. This is a problem that requires understanding the material, because it's all about making value judgements.
So, it's totally unsurprising that the Australian study showed that it's useless. It's no surprise that both Microsoft and Apple's email summarisation tools discard the obvious phishing markers and summarise phishing scams as '{important thing happened}, click on this link' because they don't actually understand anything in the text that they're discarding, they just mark it as low entropy and discard it.
