That assumes that those people care very little about those potential offsprings.

My guess for this would be that sites leave it unset in the rendered html and set it from some attribute dynamically from Js to enable lazy loading of images? loading=lazy is somewhat „new“ and the behavior may not be exactly what hat every one wants? But that’s pure speculation.

With big enterprises, at least the one my account hangs on, the process of replacing the supplier would take months just to get through all the enterprise hoops. Not sure if anyone wants to get on that. I would assume buying Microsoft is somewhat simpler than buying some startup not yet on the holy list of divine supplies. Said enterprise just this year managed to bulk buy JetBrains licenses for everyone that then got suspended. For everyone. Twice. With 30days between cases. So I may be cynic but that’s earned!

That’s timing the cache, that’s old stuff by know. As I understand, this writes a relatively large file („Gigabytes“) using this OPFS api, which is different from the „localStorage“ api. This seems to use actual filesystem storage on the client, instead of living completely in memory (which may be reasonable given the size of files supported). This allows to actually time SSD IOPS latency by doing random reads.

Collected enough of these samples, together with the information of what else runs on the host, put that in the ML-Blender and the result will be able to tell you, with some accuracy, from a given set of samples, what’s running on the host.

I am sure i misunderstood some things because there are so many caches and unknowns in that setup that I struggle to understand how there could be any correlation, but that’s my understanding so far.

The reason stated in the article seems sound to me: if it’s broken ins safari/ff but works in chrome, users conclude that the browser is the problem and switch to chrome.

Where do you see the lack of respect? The author wanted to learn how gzip works and chose to implement it in a language they like to do so. As a learning tool, not because the world needs another gzip decompressor.

True! Technically even 9.99% would be three nines!

If I understand the description of this „telemetry“ in fyns „MANIFESTO.md“ correctly, it does not make outbound connections you did not asked for. It sets the user agent http header to something that identifies your OS, CPU, python version and if you are running in Ci when communicating to the package registry. It does not send any of that to astral, not ist any of that highly personal.

Sure, it should not be there by default, especially OS & CPU imho. But it’s not really what I’d call „invasive telemetry“.

With CRTs I would think that the problem may be that they do not see a full picture at all. Because the full screen is never lit all at once? Don’t know how persistence of vision works in this case…

Except if you need WSLg, because then you can add RDP issue to all your Wayland issues, and, not infrequently, also xwayland issues! You can have all the fun!

Mend is not a competitor, renovate is the software, mend is the company.

They are tools that automatically check your repo for dependencies and create PRs when there are updates. It supports a wide range of package managers and other places dependencies may be specified.

Dependabot is another solution which is more „GitHub-native“ maybe.

The difference being that while people have a good intuition on one may spend their vacation and what one would talk about, it’s not so easy to extrapolate for other things. Sure, everybody knows that media talks more about homicides and terrorism than the thousands of people dying or „old age“-kind of things, but it’s not always easy to keep in mind on how far apart these numbers are.

I think „manipulation“ may be to strong of a word here, since it assumes intent to manipulate, which is not necessarily to focus on „out of the ordinary“ events. But I think nonetheless that this infographic is interesting and important, because it reminds us that these biases exist and how big they are.

Thank you for HACK. I love it!
