Curious to know what “zoom normally” means for you. For me, it’s ctrl+mouse wheel or maybe two finger pinch/pull on trackpad. I am thoroughly confused as to why GitHub’s mermaid integration doesn’t seem to support any zoom outside of the overlay controls which…ick

zoom normally for me is cmd+, the and in my statement meant that when I zoomed I could not scroll to where I wanted to read, hence "I couldn't zoom normally AND scroll to where I wanted to read", I didn't try the zoom buttons and see if I could scroll because I just checked if I could zoom normally, could, but could not scroll to read parts that were now outside the view.

But later I did check using the buttons and it still doesn't allow you to scroll to read parts of the screen that have moved outside of the view because one has zoomed in too far.

Browser was Firefox Dev, OS MacOs. Did Not check if it was specific to the browser OS combination but that is because I doubt it, given my experience that most of these kinds of applications always end up screwing with the scrolling to some extent.

Notice that the JSON spec box on the front page could scroll up and down, but the readme part could not, furthermore the json spec box if I was zoomed in too far was also rendered partially outside of the view horizontally, and could not scroll horizontally. This is of course on the whole window, not individual parts, that scrolling did not work as it should. I'm sure I could go into the page code and find why I could not scroll and then fix it so I could scroll, but I would rather that the whole thing allows scrolling on the window without my help.


ctrl+mouse wheel triggers the application zoom in most cases. However, if my mouse is over the scrollable node, it invokes the Google Chrome window zoom (so I end up with two competing zoom transforms). It also zooms relative to the upper left corner, rather than relative to my cursor (seems the app doesn't support panning?). The background dots also move and change size as I zoom (subtle but somewhat distracting).

Even as a non-woman I sometimes like to have my nails done up nice, and sure it’s my _choice_ just as it’s my choice not to purchase products that are fine excluding a chunk of the market. Out of curiosity, do you remember what controller? We are pretty much all DualSense in this house but I’d like to be aware in case we go shopping for new ones at any point

This was something a friend had in his office when I visited him at Activision back in the late nineties. I have no clue. :)

Take a peek in the accessibility settings - there is a setting for keyboard navigation that defaults to Off - setting jt On should let you navigate those items

Also, somewhere in accessibility settings, you can turn Keyboard Navigation to On - this allows you to tab through just about any control on the screen - very helpful. I find keyboard navigation much more fluid and easy on my Mac than my windows machine, but then I’m rarely doing anything serious in windows anyways and there’s a ton of muscle memory built up at this point

There’s been plenty of times where I would rather drag an item on the screen than fiddle with the sometimes flaky responsiveness and range of a touchpad. I’m usually fussy about my Asus laptop’s pad - the MacBook _usually_ does fine in the touchpad area. The best was my old ThinkPad’s nipple - preferable in most ways to what I use touchpads for at all.

Trump has largely not had that kind of money. He’s had a _lot_ of money, many many times more than most, but by all accounts except his own, those numbers are much lower than he likes to brag about. Well, they were - there’s been a troubling amount of money going out of the federal government that isn’t well-accounted for under his reign.

He had the kind of money that can hire expensive projects on trust that payment in full will be rendered, but only kept his money by often not paying out.

As with all things Trump, even up to the new ballroom not having a front door despite the massive staircase, his wealth is more in appearance, and less in actual assets…or was. Of course, someday maybe we will know the true extent or shortfall of his bank accounts


Don’t forget the fairly naked corruption around his crypto coins too…

He may not have been that successful as a businessman, but his whole clan are monetising the Whitehouse.


You would have? I don’t necessarily think I like the idea of using AI for anything that I’m going to send to anyone else, be it prose or code. But I’d rather get an AI generated pull request than have anyone in my medical team using it for, well, anything.

> long ago decided 80% is good enough to ship and we will figure the rest out later

Sure, we can eat that 80% if we made the debt and know where the bodies are buried. When AI does it, it’s more like “50% is good enough and hopefully someone smart enough can fix it up to 60% when it breaks”, which inevitably means we get it to 55%.

> while it creates it at scale it can also help in understanding it.

This feels like cope, and I’m not trying to be snarky. I also know that I had to train my brain to skip google’s “AI Summary” on searches because I’ve had a handful of wrong answers from it - not technically correct, not correct with caveats, just flat out wrong. So sure, AI could make a bigger mess and then we could trust it to help sort it out, but even if it finds three real problems and one non-existent one, it has still made even more work to sort out.

> Still software is not medicine even if software is required in basically every industry now. It should more conservative and wait till things settle down before jumping in.

Agree. We had a big company meeting about becoming an AI-focused company (we do healthcare-related software) and I’m honestly a little worried - I don’t use any AI in my work, and when I asked a colleague who implemented our new build process for help with migrating my own repo they said “I don’t know, I asked GPT to do it”. And that’s why the pipeline has a mega-long ternary for the name which doesn’t resolve, so all of our runs are titled “if [[ $matrixType === …” but they’re using AI, and they’re going to be celebrated for it


This has been the (largely) conservative playbook for decades, at least since the religious right took over, it’s just being borne out in a much more direct way. The old model was “claim that public institution X is bloated/corrupt/ineffective/evil and replace it with private company Y”. The current admin has done away with any table dressing and just flat-out collapsed entire departments - the furloughs, replacing department heads or essentially forcing them to step down on moral grounds, gutting and stacking the justice system, DOGE…this has all been synonymous with the right’s playbook for a long time.

Wouldn’t a WiFi mesh network be more reliable in war-torn areas? If you just need communication then actual “internet” is incidental and probably a security risk - just having a fairly secure local mesh network, with nodes covering hot-spot areas, seems like a good idea - it can cross areas where fiber isn’t reliable because of all the war, and it can potentially remove the need for some by-hand communication.

Wifi mesh makes sense in a densely populated area, not over mostly desert.

Also, communication over longer distances (even few km) will add so much latency that it will be unusable for coordinated AA targeting.

Furthermore, all that radiating will just invite bombs from the attacker.

Maybe I was not clear enough about the goal: not "robust command and control communication network", but more of:

quickly and temporarily set up a high-bandwidth low latency communication network to accomplish AA ambush using coordinated mobile passive sensors (a quick radar burst might for initial acquisition might be useful, but probably not necessary).
