Contrairement au cliché mille fois répété (mais faux), le DNS ne sert pas qu'à « traduire des noms de domaine en adresses IP ». Il est d'un usage général et permet de récupérer, indexées par un nom de domaine, diverses informations. Un nouveau type d'information vient d'être officiellement enregistré, WALLET, pour indiquer l'adresse d'un portefeuille de cryptomonnaie.

gov.uk does not use jQuery anymore.

L'utilisation incessante JavaScript de pointe a contribué à rendre le web moins accessible, en affectant de manière disproportionnée les utilisateurs dont les appareils et les conditions de réseau sont incapables de télécharger les énormes charges utiles associées à ces frameworks et (2) de gérer la mémoire requise pour exécuter le code du framework dans le navigateur. L'accent mis sur la création d'applications hautement interactives entraîne une coupure d'accès au Web de certains internautes.

Pire encore, les personnes qui ont tendance à posséder des appareils moins puissants et celles qui vivent dans des zones où la connexion à l'internet est plus lente sont souvent celles qui pourraient bénéficier le plus d'un accès bien soutenu au web (par exemple, pour accéder aux services gouvernementaux).

Not owning things is a privilege.

It is a privilege to say: “I don’t need a spare in case of emergency.”

It is a privilege to say: “I know I won’t need this in the future.”

And it is a privilege to afford quality products that will last you close to a lifetime instead of having to re-buy stuff.

and the author lifestyle that is better (without the current minimalism "trend").

In my experience, less things also means less distractions, less need for space and less complications.

100% true from my experience.

It’s about contentment, sure. But I also think it’s about knowledge and culture — knowing what you don’t need and what you can get out of life for less.

Use cases for CSS display contents: ungrouping elements

• styling generated HTML
• conditional (header) layout
• remove a container
• a grid of photos
• alternating columns
• quote
• footer layouts
• subgrid alternative

CSS display: contents is known to cause accessbility issues when used with HTML tables, headings, buttons, and lists

Also what about the tabbing order?

We simply have to recognize 3 things:

1. First, if we do not continue to work to change the Internet, we really will have only two choices: the corporate salad or nothing.
2. Second, the control of the Internet is ultimately in our hands, [... corporations] do not have the power to lock down the Internet to prevent us from going wherever we like, unless we believe their lie that our only two options are to eat their salad or leave.
3. Third, each of us must banish the idea from his mind that he has failed if he creates a website and millions of people don't flock to it. That is corporate thinking, and it has no place on the small web.

Ideally, a personal website should be thought of as a gift to all Internet users.

Corporate search engines will almost never take you to a personal website unless you are either very lucky or you already know it exists. If you already know a website exists, you don't need a search engine to find it. This means only those who are motivated and know how to look will find what they are looking for on the small Internet.

It has a links to specific search engines.

For those who are not technically inclined, sites like these make starting your first blog easy: Bear Blog (free), Nekoweb (free), Mataroa (free or $9/yr for premium), and Write.as ($6/month).

The Open Source ideology is misused by companies: its ideology concerns production (similarly to FLOSS). You contribute to the software back.

Copyleft can force an absolute minimal “contribution” back to your project, but it can’t force a good-faith one. This makes it an inadequate tool towards building something with the kinds of values that many developers care about.

But I do think I’ve properly identified the problem: many developers conceive of software freedom as something larger than purely a license that kinds in on redistribution. This is the new frontier for those who are thinking about furthering the goals of the free software and open source movements. Our old tools are inadequate, and I’m not sure that the needed replacements work, or even exist.

The downside of AI for programming:

• Erosion of Core Programming Skills
• Over-Reliance on Auto-Generated Code
• Lack of Ownership and Responsibility
• Reduced Learning Opportunities
• Narrowed Creative Thinking
• Dependency on Proprietary Tools
• false sense of expertise

Pour ces deux manquements, la formation restreinte a prononcé une amende de 800 000 euros à l’encontre de la société CEGEDIM SANTÉ.

Context:

To understand what’s happening here you need to remember that it’s a category error to treat LLMs as thinking entities.
They are statistical models that work with numbers – tokens – that represent language and the relationships between the words. It’s statistics about language wrapped up in an anthropomorphic simulation.

Attack:

The token stream (Strategic Text Sequence) itself – the numbers not the words – is an attack surface.

Reality of the threat:

This is going to get automated, weaponised, and industrialised. Tech companies have placed chatbots at the centre of our information ecosystems and butchered their products to push them front and centre. The incentives for bad actors to try to game them are enormous and they are capable of making incredibly sophisticated tools for their purposes.
