Interesting angle: Compiler errors brings back math teacher trauma. I noticed Rust tries to be a bit more helpful, explaining the error and even trying to suggest improvements. Perhaps "empathic errors" is the next milestone each language needs to incorporate.

It would be interesting to experiment with providing people only with a sundial. :)))))

Where I work, we have company-wide breaks between 10.00-10.15, 12.00-13.00 and 15.00-15.15. These cannot easily be enforced with external parties, but running an internal meeting over a break will need an explanation. What I noticed is that back-to-back meetings are more likely "capped" at 2 hours, so it's easier for people to show up on time and energized.

This is great news! Who would have expected Cloudflare to truly contribute to EU digital sovereignty.

On a more serious note, I'm surprised Cloudflare wants to pull out of Italy. Being a company which terminates TLS connections for Italy must be a gold mine for the NSA.

Whether the claims are true or not, this was a very entertaining BGP refresher. It made me wonder: 15+ years ago, I was network engineer and we used quite a bit of "BGP community magic" to get the routing outcomes we wanted.

If BGP only really needed to represent three types of peers (provider, customer, actual peer), wouldn't BGP configuration and perhaps even BGP be massively simplified?

Well said! I used to administer both FreeBSD and Linux (Debian) servers at the same time. I found them different, but couldn't say either was better or worse.

How about trying out legal solutions against browser fingerprinting? The European Data Protection Board -- i.e., the union of "GDPR Police" in each EU Member State -- made it clear the fingerprinting violates the ePrivacy Directive.

Can I also get the analogous code for an AI customer navigating the AI customer service to get to a human customer service?

That's what I love most about using ChatGPT vs Google for finding information: less bloat, just what I asked for.

This is really scary. It could have totally happened to me too. How can we design security which works even when people are tired or stressed?

Once upon a time, I used a software called passwordmaker. Essentially, it computed a password like hash(domain+username+master password). Genius idea, but it was a nightmare to use. Why? Because amazon.se and amazon.com share the same username/password database. Similarly, the "domain" for Amazon's app was "com.amazon.something".

Perhaps it's time for browser vendors to strongly bind credentials to the domain, the whole domain and nothing but the domain, so help me Codd.

We are certainly not having this conversation enough. I regularly chat with a risk office and she keeps telling me: Data minimization is your first line of defense.

GNOME on Wayland allows me to set my FullHD laptop screen at 100% and my 4K display at 200%. I'm sold. :D

Couldn't we solve this problem by always clicking on ads we don't like, then close the tab?

If I like a company, I tend to scroll down in Google Search until I find their organic result. Hopefully that makes a difference to their bottom line.
