The early Web had a quality that has been lost ever since: it was *simple*

Download , write some by hand and boom, the concept of a networked digital society is born.

It first started going pear shaped with . The complexity of a full blown database was not justified for most use cases. As proven decades later by the popularity of and approaches.

The final blow was when got into the act. Immense complexity for the simplest things became a moat

Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details. We have AI assistant Glean integrated into the Slack, and it answered privately to her: "today's siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave your workplace". It was not a test or a drill, it was a real fire alarm. Someday, AI will kill us.

In building ... today’s siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave
your workplace while it's running.

If you're unsure or something seems off (e.g. smoke, smell, people evacuating), call Munich building emergency number ... or ask at reception immediately.

Show GN: Chunk Translator: 긴 글도 잘게 쪼개 LLM에게 번역맡기기
------------------------------
길게 작성한 블로그 글을 문장 누락없이 번역하고 싶어 글을 문단별로 나눠 번역한 후, 다시 합칠 수 있는 작은 html 도구를 만들어봤습니다.
- chatgpt같은 llm에게 통째로 번역을 요청하다보면 한 문장씩 빼먹거나 마음대로 요약해버리거나 하는 등 한번에 잘 못하더라구요.
- 프롬프트를 더 깎아보는 방법도 있겠…

Never get in an argument with a cat.
Never get in a fight with some ants.

My carpenter ants are DONE with winter. IDK why but they are awake. Maybe I gave them too much sugar as a winter snack, but it's time to get out the fluon again and set things up like it summer.

They won't be docile and let me clean their tank. They are trying to escape.

And I know you will think I'm making this up... but a four year old ant colony is much more sneaky and wily than a new ant colony.

Is there any chance we're gonna see a lifting of the "Macros can't see other macro-generated code" restrictions in Swift?
It's weird that I can have a macro that generates a type with an initialiser and e.g. in a I can't use it.
But if I add some non-macro code to expose it, I can use it.
It's an odd restriction with some weird, unexpected rules.

Serious question for computer touchers:

What are the differences, if any, between "user interface" and "user experience"?

I guessed a few things just from the names, but many seem to use these terms interchangeably leading to confusion.

A 2025 study found that going car-free is the most effective way for individuals to lower their carbon footprint. To reduce car dependency, cities should focus on raising awareness about the benefits of car-free living, supporting compact cities through policy, and investing in public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and shared mobility options.
