History questions: which company invented JavaScript?

They need to stop bloating the web, so that browser development stops taking billion dollar budgets.

That is a good post and I hadn't heard of the T2S+ before. But it costs $300+ and is around 50K pixels (256x192). I see that an 160x120 FLIR Lepton module is $184 these days (Digikey). So this new stuff is competitive but not revolutionary imho. It's good that the FLIR monopoly is finally broken though. All that existed earlier other than FLIR was very low res devices.

$11/m is a lot. If you just want a small site on shared hosting, try namecrane.com. For storage use Hetzner Storage Box.

Main thing I want is to override site css. Who cares what the browser itself looks like.

Thanks, it's late here now but I'll try to look soon. I didn't realize significant improvements over Goldberg etc al were really possible. I'll try to understand that too.

Is there another post somewhere giving a general description of what you are doing?

Do you have a link about your messaging app? And PIR doesn't conceal the existence of traffic, so it doesn't seem like the right thing for messaging. It's more for databases as the name implies. What exactly are you trying to do?

I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.

If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.

I've worked in security for decades and nobody has ever asked me about certifications. I know a guy with CISSP and he said it has been useful sometimes, but basically I wouldn't worry too much. Getting more involved with the security stuff where you work will give real experience which is likely more valuable.

This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I'm used to the term, can often be technocratic.

 

I wasn't able to find one by poking around but may have missed it. Tx.

There is a thread in another community regarding some controversies happening in women's chess. I posted to that thread, recommending a book written by WGM Jennifer Shahade who is a multi-time US women's chess champion. I also linked to a review of the book, the url of which contained the book title.

The Open Library page about the book is here: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL5849601W

it seems that the title, as chosen by the female author with considerable self-awareness, contains a word that is sometimes used as a sexist slur. You can see the title by clicking the link above. Unfortunately some kind of bot censored the title from both the post, and the review link (to chessbase.com) that I had posted. I was able to fool the bot by changing a few characters, but the bot's very existence is imho in poor taste.

We are adults here, we shouldn't have robots filtering our language. If we act sexist or abusive then humans should intervene, but not bots. Otherwise we are in an annoying semi-dystopia. The particular post I made, as far as I can tell, is completely legitimate.
