Do you also have something like <link rel=alternate href=/atom.xml type=application/atom+xml> in your <head> element?
Things like this let me just throw homepages (or blog pages) at feed readers and they can discover all the different feeds available and I can pick one (although you really don't need more than one, generally).
To be fair, there’s a programming language out there already with a cuddly-lobster mascot. A decidedly un-cuddly lobster just maximizes product differentiation.
Yea, in the 90s significant whitespace seemed great because it meant that you got readable code. The amount of code that you might see copy/pasted with terrible formatting/indentation in other languages could make you want to scream.
Now, when you paste code and things are wrong, an auto formatter cleans it up for you. Before, you'd just end up with an unreadable codebase.
If you grab that version and unpack it and look at /OChangelog then it seems to date back until at least 1989, same as Python itself.
That was for C source, of course. I expect there were pre-GNU indent variants, perhaps posted on comp.sources.unix and maybe some commercial things as part of very expensive compiler packages.
I would say that running autoformatters in any kind of routine way was pretty rare. EDIT: but I think ascribing the language design to commonality or not is probably ahistorical. Even today it's a rather passionate debate. And even at the time, Lisp - the poster child of copy-paste friendly PLangs - was routinely autoformatted within Emacs', but that was not enough for people to not find Lisp code "ugly".
> What happened to actually educating users instead?
I’m against passkeys for all the usual reasons, but people have been trying to educate end users for decades now. The lessons don’t always stick, and new users are being made every year.
I have one-click login with 2FA codes stored in 1Password.
And 1Password will still let me export my crazy-long password and TOTP code to a plain text file if I want to switch to a different password manager (of course, I’ll have to do some planning beforehand to make sure that the export destination doesn’t get picked up by my backup software).
> Is killing off password theft worth the tradeoff of restricting the legitimate user’s rights, or is this a step too far towards authoritarian overreach, no matter how significant the harm done to humanity by password theft?
If your government can order your password manager to lock you out of your passwords with no more trouble than locking you out of your bank account, then that lowers the cost of tyranny down to what the Chinese Communist Party enjoys.
Sometimes, when the nature of someone's problem is such that it also prevents them from even seeing or understanding it, the best you can do is signal to them that a problem exists and see whether they care enough to try and understand it further.
I was under the impression that the National Guard could only be deployed like this if a local politician asked for it. Nobody asked for it for the protests in 2020, so none got deployed. Am I wrong, or did a Los Angeles politician ask for the National Guard’s help?
I believe it is under Title 10 to “temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions.” Title 10 provides for activating National Guard troops for federal service. Seems valid since large rocks are being thrown at federal agents.
> The response to the protests drew a conflict between ICE and the Los Angeles Police Department. "Our brave officers were vastly outnumbered, as over 1000 rioters surrounded and attacked a federal building," said ICE in a statement. "It took over two hours for the Los Angeles Police Department to respond, despite being called multiple times."
> But the LAPD said that, "Contrary to the claim that LAPD delayed its response for over two hours, our personnel mobilised and acted as swiftly as conditions safely allowed."
