Any idea why the extension failed? I go to great lengths to make my blog a good web citizen (semantical, working without JS etc.), and that it isn't parseable would be a thing I need to fix.

Sorry I really have no idea :(

But I just tried again and now it saved it correctly.

On my first try it only showed a line of two of the main content, truncated by an ellipsis.


Ohh, that's good! I have an underutilized printer on my desk. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

I (author) live in Brazil. Kindle is the only E-Ink device on sale here by its official manufacturer. We can import a Kobo or Boox or Bigme, but importing taxes are very steep.

Per the linked post, they understand “independent” as the only browser engine not tied to a browser from a big tech.

I mostly try Apple Photos’ “magic” editing. It’s hit and miss, but when it hits, the photo gets way better. When not, I adjust a couple sliders (contrast, brightness, saturation). In both cases, only when I’ll use the photo. Otherwise, editing tools will be there for when (and if) I need them.

I had the same experience, I mostly import b/w photos after editing in Capture One, the magic stick raises brightness, sometimes adds sepia. Most of the time these edits improve the photo. I always check proposed edits for newly imported photos that I think look dull in Photos.app grid

Firefox forks are suspiciously absent. I wonder why…

Other brands' USD 599 laptops are atrocious. Neo is guaranteed to be a reliable, pleasure, and long-term investment.

>Ask ChatGPT on your phone if ever any bugs come up.

This is a dealbreaker compared to never (or even rarely) having any “bugs”.


Wipr 2 ad blocker for Safari reduced the transfer size of PC World article to 3,5 MB.

My Spotlight was shit. I disabled types of searches that I never used and rebuilt its index. Now it's working as intended.


I don’t believe for a second that it was a mistake. Probably got a call from some C-level and came up with this excuse.


Do you have any idea just how much code is in Windows?

I did a quick search and estimates are in the 50-60 million lines range.

No way in hell are they going to rewrite all that in a few years. Even if they actually wanted to, which they don't because it would be a truly enormous expense (even for Microsoft).

Not to even mention that huge software projects have a well deserved reputation for failing, and the scope of such a rewrite would probably dwarf any previous rewrite of anything, ever, and by a very large margin.

"Rewrite all of Windows in Rust" simply does not even begin to pass the sniff test.


Good news, because part of the original post was that engineers should soon be able to handle a million lines of code a month. So 60 engineers to birth an OS in a month.

  … Our strategy is to combine AI *and* Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases. Our North Star is “1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code,” Galen Hunt, who is a top-level Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, wrote in a now-edited LinkedIn post.…
Maybe he did not say Windows, but it is not a leap to imagine it falls under the umbrella of “largest codebases”
