1TB favicons dumped in the root is an interesting problem for crawlers. Did they make the effort of dropping the connection in a timeout or proceed to gobble up the entire thing?

I really wish fullscreen windows weren't so easy to open. On latest Firefox desktop, I click a button, and a fullscreen windows gets opened. No confirmation dialog, it just puts the browser in kiosk mode without my permission. This could be used to phish people since you could create a plausible looking browser interface with fake address bars etc The savvy among us probably won't fall for it, but the non-savvy could get duped easily.

> Can we really use Stoicism to make our lives better, or is it just a ruse to sell more books?

A few takeaways from reading about the Stoic philosophy:

- Focus on what you can control.

- Amor Fati. The love of fate. Transmute everything into a lesson to be learned and something to grow from.

- If it's bearable, endure it with wisdom and grace.

- Does it agree with natural law? Is something in line with nature? If it's an abomination, leave it immediately.

- Memento mori. Remember you will die. Live every day as if it's your last. Don't postpone.

> He thinks it is just like making a wird document

Frontend used to be just HTML, CSS, and a sprinkling of JS. Then the engineers took over and JS is no longer a sprinkling. It means build steps, web components, React, integrating best practices, learning new frameworks every month, performance, and a panoply of other things.

I signed up for OpenAI's ChatGPT tool, and entered a query, like 'What does the notation 1e100 mean?' (just to try it out). And then when displaying the output it would start outputting the reply in a slow way, like, it was dripfeeded to me, and I was like: 'what? surely this could be faster?'

Maybe I'm missing something crucial here, but why does it dripfeed answers like this? Does it have to think really hard about the meaning of 1e100? Why can't it just spit it out instantly without such a delay/drip, like with the near-instant Wolfram Alpha?

> Firstly the board is completely wireless

What are people's thoughts on wireless keyboards? For me they're potentially leaky and it's trivial to intercept the keystrokes via EMF capture. My threat model is such that any bad actor can do an EMF capture and glean master passphrases and other sensitive data. So I avoid them. No radios, wired only.
