I think climate is on the list of bad words.

Stay safe! I’ll take wrong exit over unsafe maneuver every time.

Florida. Can’t talk about climate change.

Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.

Looks like they’re trying really hard to cancel out all of those progressive votes in Orlando.

Violent rhetoric definitely influences the mentally ill.

That’s how you know who is the main character.

I thought the bottom formation was teeth coming up to swallow the oddly drawn tree.

I strongly prefer recursive descent for parsers for a different reason: clarity. They are easy to read and they are easy to generate helpful error messages for the user because right there in the code of your parser you can provide great, contextually-relevant error messages.

I’ve tried parser generators a few times, but after running with the code for a while, it just doesn’t offer me the level of error reporting flexibility that I can achieve using a simple descent.

Article title from the original source was changed by the author because it doesn’t actually make the case that the title claim is going to occur.

“When circumvention is more popular than compliance” is the new title.

In what sense? It’s certainly a gathering place.

 

AI Article Summary:

Android has improved its unknown tracker alerts to notify users faster and more often, and has introduced two new features to help users protect themselves from unwanted tracking. The key findings are the introduction of two new features: Temporarily Pause Location and Find Nearby, which aim to provide users with more control and privacy when dealing with unknown trackers.

 

Bullet points taken from article:

  • Google is shutting down the Google Maps Timeline feature on June 9, 2025.
  • Personal Maps timelines will be saved on individual devices instead of the cloud beginning on that date.
  • Users should begin the migration to on-device Timeline data before June or risk losing all of their past Maps data.

I'm pleased that this potentially sensitive information is moving on-device instead of on Google servers.

 

The cina-minimum.

This is a really weird problem that I can't seem to track down further. Perhaps a creative person could suggest some test ideas. Here are the facts:

  • Firefox "Unable to connect" to my LAN server (a router) at 192.168.0.2 port 80.
  • Network error is specifically "NS_CONNECTION_REFUSED".
  • Wireshark on a Raspberry Pi placed between the laptop and server shows no packets exchanged trying to connect. Any packet containing 192.168.0.2, any port.
  • Chrome and Safari work just fine on the same machine. I can see the packets in Wireshark. This validates my test setup works.
  • Curl works, loads the web page. I can see the packets.
  • I have reinstalled, refreshed, removed all extensions, cleared all history and cookies in Firefox and still cannot load the page.
  • Firefox in Safe Mode cannot load the page.
  • Disabled DNS over HTTPS, made sure No Proxy is selected in network settings. Still cannot load the page.
  • Disabled IPv6 in Firefox with about:config setting. Still fails.
  • I have no security software installed of any kind on this Mac. No antivirus or firewall except the default OS one.
  • Turned off Mac built-in Firewall. Still unable to connect.

Why is Firefox apparently refusing to connect to my server? Other LAN IP addresses work fine, even local ones. It specifically hates this one.

SOLUTION: Remove entry from hosts file. Firefox is choking on it for some unknown reason even though I'm trying to access by IP address.

 

The Google Play Store could warn you if an app seems to be of low quality.

 

Super cool! It'll be nice having an officially supported terminal emulator on device.

 

Another shameless theft of title and meme, unknown source. To add a personal touch: my bro just started a job with an insurance company where they talked him up about all the cutting edge work they're doing in AI, ML and statistical analysis. Yeah, it's just a bunch of Python scripts calling out to web services. They should have just said they're looking for a (possibly backend) developer.

Shamelessly stolen from Reddit. No source in the original post.

 

Would hit the spot right about now.
