Talking about web bloat. for a few days now exposes a simple "Hello World!!" page (https://www.netflix.com/helloworld), no styling, black on white. Probably some forgotten testing leftovers. Whatever.

I was today years old to learn that this :

<div />
outside

actually puts the word "outside"... inside <div>. Because trailing slash is ignored and <div/> becomes <div>

Just finished reading Animal Farm for the first time in my life. It was good, I guess, but almost exhausting in its lack of subtlety for metaphor and allegory. I suppose that's why you read it and learn about it in high school.

Should I watch the old movies of it? Gollum directing one for next year, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm_(upcoming_film)

1984 is next! Never read nor seen.

@jw 1984 is much better and it inspired a ton of sci-fi (and Chinese government). Also check out the movie "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam. It's loosely based on 1984 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088846/

Turns out you can order a server or even a whole rack from #AWS, plug it in your on-prem data center and use it as if it was your private region. Deploy #EC2, #S3, #RDS etc. all through AWS console! https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/

I love how my sunglasses are also real-world ad-blocker. I need to turn my head 90° to the side to actually see what's on these screens

Sunglasses become transparent when rotated 90° counterclockwise. Photo camera can now see TV screen through them

I kind of get why website wants to know my location. But why does it want access to motion sensors?

An electric car is rather quiet, which is great. Except when you're driving around with an infant who sleeps well only to the sound of a humming car engine. So... I use a smartphone app generating white noise, jungle sounds, a fireplace, a hair dryer and... an internal combustion engine. I play that sound through Bluetooth to simulate a noisy vehicle inside. What a time to be alive!
