War ja klar, dass die CDU-„Lösung" der A100-Fuckups weniger Radweg lautet. Denn das Rad ist ja das einzige zuverlässige Verkehrsmittel in Berlin, das kann ja so nicht bleiben: https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/verkehrschaos-an-der-a100-berliner-senat-will-radspur-auf-der-elsenbrucke-in-autospur-umwandeln-14380334.html
Because I'm now into the early 2000s in my internet history series, I'm encountering some websites that aren't accessible in Wayback Machine...because they were made from #Flash. BowieNet v2 was heavily Flash-based, so it was very difficult to find screenshots. Quite frustrating that Flash was so poorly archived — even the Ruffle open source Flash Player emulator struggles with these old Flash sites.

Some loosely organized thoughts on the current Zeitgeist. They were inspired by the response to my recent meta-project mentioned in my previous post https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/115254145226514817, where within 24 hours I became aware of a large number of ongoing small-scale collaborative math projects with their own modest but active community (now listed at https://mathoverflow.net/questions/500720/list-of-crowdsourced-math-projects-actively-seeking-participants ); but they are from the perspective of a human rather than a mathematician.
As a crude first approximation, one can think of human society as the interaction between entities at four different scales:
1. Individual humans
2. Small organized groups of humans (e.g., close or extended family; friends; local social or religious organizations; informal sports clubs; small businesses and non-profits; ad hoc collaborations on small projects; small online communities)
3. Large organized groups of humans (e.g., large companies; governments; global institutions; professional sports clubs; large political parties or movements; large social media sites)
4. Large complex systems (e.g., the global economy; the environment; the geopolitical climate; popular culture and "viral" topics; the collective state of science and technology).

[$] Canceling asynchronous Rust
Asynchronous Rust code has what Rain Paharia calls a "universal cancellation protocol", meaning that any asynchronous code can be interrupted in the same way. They claim that this [...]
The NeXTlevel was NeXT Software's first handheld device, eagerly awaited but canned just two weeks from release when Apple purchased NeXT and chose not to pursue gaming. All 250,000 release devices were pulled from channels and unceremoniously rolled into landfill out northwest of Dubbo.

🌎⬆️ Legacy Update 1.12 is a huge rewrite release. We switched from compiling with Visual C++ 2008 (and 2010, and 2017, and 2022…), a setup which Microsoft recently broke, to a streamlined open-source MinGW/GCC toolchain. The result: 1.12 is 50% smaller than 1.11, which was already below 1 MB! https://github.com/LegacyUpdate/LegacyUpdate/releases/tag/v1.12.0.0

Hello again, friends.
I know I've been asking for a lot today, but this is part of our " Joy evacuation- Gaza" project.
I have some news to share: France will begin evacuating students who have scholarships there.
To all my friends in France, if u know of any universities that could offer me a scholarship for a master's degree or grants for artists & writers,
please don't hesitate to reach out.
With love & appreciation. ❤️

Chef's kiss stuff here from Colin Cornaby: Today’s microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow’s microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. [...] We all need to transition to this way of cooking, because clearly this is where the future is going. I expect in a few short years kitchens will be much smaller. Gone will be stoves and ovens and flat tops.
today in "why computers why", Apple's Translate app turns "Jajniki" (Polish) into "Overies" (US English), instead of "Ovaries".
I've looked everywhere and can't find traces of that spelling online. Trying to translate back yields nothing since, well, it's not a word.
I wrote an article about what I wish juniors in cybersecurity would ask for and contribute when asking for a mentor and career guidance, in light of the terrible tech jobs market.

Is anything missing from that list? Are there critical building blocks of the web which you need to work the same in all browsers?
If so, add it, or vote for it with a 👍!

How has there not been outrage at Apple removing the ability to see the documentation diffs on the developer site? This has made developing for the platforms so much worse over the past year, but I haven't seen anybody even mention it. They cut off the feature when they redesigned the docs site a while back, and now it's impossible to keep track of new APIs added throughout the year. It's especially detrimental to Swift-only APIs, whose changes cant be picked up by diffing the framework headers
