I really enjoyed crafting this guide; what started as curiosity and a love of web components grew into deep learning on how engines created this experience. I'm eager to dive into another topic in this way and would love to hear from you! - What did you like about the guide? - What topics are you interested in seeing broken down in this way? - What would you want done differently? https://front-end.social/@castastrophe/117361376921766863

PSA: Autistic writers are often flagged by AI-detection tools… (1/3)

@nolan asks whether web components have a future if nobody is writing them, and part of his case cites the custom elements section of Chrome's Modern Web Guidance. 👋 Since I wrote that section, I thought I'd add to the conversation. #WebComponents https://castastrophe.blog/blog/on-writing-the-custom-elements-section-for-modern-web-guidance/ https://toot.cafe/@nolan/117470449984835742

`The rule: explanations must compute, not claim. The number: when you make the explanation compute, it immediately tells you the truth you'd been narrating around` Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Any sufficiently simple reasoner is indistinguishable from intelligence.

I misread "cartan roots" as "curtain rods". Is it talk like a pirate day yet?

I just wanted a genlop-style build ETA predictor for my ~1500 agda modules. I already have a wrapper that launches each build subprocess in a cgroup with a memory cap, and which waits until it can lock enough memory from the parent cgroup, so I can `make -j` without fear of swapping. I expected my wrapper tool to get clever about predicting time to completion. I did *not* expect my wrapper tool to pick up the smarts to size memory cgroups even smaller based on history, thereby permitting more...

Instructor: "Show your work." Me: "Certainly. Here's the dependency graph, verification chain, mutation-testing adequacy report, provenance trail, and generated projection proving the document corresponds to the underlying claim structure." Instructor: "...No, not like that."

16:31:12 up 7 days, 2:08, 1 user, load average: 35.93, 31.34, 23.05 10 core laptop. 27GiB of swap in-use. CPU freq pushed all the way to the floor (because dust on heat sink; it'll overheat otherwise). And despite all of that...the machine is running several disjoint heavy workloads, the UI is smooth as butter, and `sys` is nice and low. A mixture of cpu scheduling and zswap to make it all happen on a personal laptop...

Getting closer...but is measured 138k test cases enough?

Whelp. That was work. Two OpenBao nodes, each holding the rekeying secret for the other, both storing their unsealing keys in the host TPM, automatic mutual rekeying, automatic failure recovery (each node gets two slots in the TPM to hold unsealing keys, a slot for last/current and a slot for current/next). Automatic e2e provisioning on k8s on my laptop, and I _never see a key during the entire process_.

hey, @flameeyes; tell me about the gentoo-on-bazel setup you did. I'm building something similar, and I'm curious what seams you had between the build layers.

RE: https://mamot.fr/@Pyb/117478101227826890 Retour sur la journée mouvementée pour les adminsys. Du côté de Wikipédia, brève coupure lors des mises à jour, mais le site a pu rester accessible, félicitations aux équipes de Wikimédia !
