Not being able to new tab to a new instance of the app is terrible. Even super complex SPAs like Facebook let me for the most part right click new tab to create a new instance while preserving the old one.

Google Maps. Gmail. OWA. There were suddenly pages that let you do things without a white flash between clicks.

It's ALL about the refreshes. Everything else came after.


its #5 on distrowatch, and #2 of arch variants.

hn should be a place where you can post niche things, and come to the comments or click through if you are out of the loop.


I did click through, you can see my findings in the comment you responded to.

I consider "Yes, we know it has been a long time since we released an ISO refresh" fairly adequate context.

This release may not be giant compared to the last release, but its the first ISO refresh in a while. So its two different "upgrades."


The Windows version numbers are not used often but really do help group Windows into distinct "early vs late" product cycle tiers. They didn't really skip straight to 10, they just named 9 8.1 for reasons.

Windows 5.0-5.2 is Win 2000, Win XP, Win XP64.

Windows 6.0-6.3 is Vista, 7, 8, 8.1.


they are human in the sense they are reenforced to exhibit human like behavior, by humans. a human byproduct.

Is the solution to sycophancy just a very good clever prompt that forces logical reasoning? Do we want our LLMs to be scientifically accurate or truthful or be creative and exploratory in nature? Fuzzy systems like LLMs will always have these kinds of tradeoffs and there should be a better UI and accessible "traits" (devil's advocate, therapist, expert doctor, finance advisor) that one can invoke.

in what I find to be unfortunate, I have noticed a trend in the reverse direction.

http://shoreviewmn.gov/ should have a dot between the city and the state. they chose some form of human usability over precision. I trust it ever so slightly less, because it is cute before hierarchical.

https://www.mvpschools.org/ formerly https://www.moundsviewschools.org are the domain names for a school district. The fact they chose the P between mv and school (which stands for public) makes it look like phishing or social engineering. It erodes trust in both technical decisions and branding decisions made.

Because domains are hard to read, and people were never taught to read them, we lost out on being able to establish trust because something reads "mv.k12.mn.us" (or preferably us.mn.k12.mv) which is two characters SHORTER than mvpschools.org!


My old school district moved from a localized URL of this kind to a .org a number of years ago (in the early 2010s). It seems to just have become the style, but I never really got it. I'm sure there was a significant cost to migrating what was a perfectly working setup to a whole new domain for website and email!

its not really two hierarchies, its just one written backwards for a while, and then forward.

if you reverse the backwards part you get

https://org.myorg.something./something/more/specific/

the dots separate computers or networks and the slashes separate folders.


well, more pedantically:

https://.org.myorg.something/something/more/specific/

you need the null-label on the left instead of the right.


And when they move to workers we lose access to generic pages urls? Everything I generate going forward has my username in it? It would be nice to leave the first come first serve anonymous urls as an option.

Im able to generate keys right now through warp. Login takes forever but it is working.


If anyone needs the internet to work again (or to get into your cf dashboard to generate API keys), if you have Cloudflare WARP installed, turning it on appears to fix otherwise broken sites. Maybe using 1.1.1.1 does too, but flipping the radio box was faster. Some parts of sites are still down, even after tunneling into to CF.


super helpful. thanks!

looks like i can get everywhere i couldn't except my cloudflare dash.


Its absurdly slow (like multiple minutes to get the login page to fully load for the login button to be pressable, due to catchpa...), but I was able to log into the dashboard. It's throwing lots of errors once inside, but I can navigate around some of it. YMMV.

My profile (including api tokens,) and websites pages all work, the accounts tab above website on the left does not.
