>We’ve continued to make solid progress on WPT this month. There has been a significant increase in passing subtests, with 111,431 new passing subtests bringing our total to 1,964,649. The majority of this increase comes from a large update to the test suite itself, with 100,751 subtests being added - mainly due to the Wasm core tests being updated to Wasm 3.0.

They fixed ~10k tests, but indeed this month is a bit of an exception as there were lots of new tests added.


It costs 1,100eur for the cheapest model where I'm at. Not prohibitively expensive, but I would never pay it for a machine that does not properly run Linux. I'm sure it is good hardware compared to similarly priced laptops though.


I'm also of that perspective.

It's sort of worth noting though that when Microsoft is presented with an option for blocking out Linux installation: they take it.[0]

When Apple are presented with an option for allowing Linux, they take it.[1]

The major difference here is OEMs, and that Apple has no OEMs.

We're essentially giving Microsoft the moral high ground even though they do nothing to earn it.

Nobody said anything about Microsoft here, so I don't understand the comparison. Just like Apple is better than Microsoft in that they don't actively prevent people from running the software of their choice on the hardware they bought, there's other companies that are better than either of them. There's hardware component vendors like AMD, Intel, and Realtek that employ people to maintain and upstream Linux kernel drivers for their hardware rather than leaving it up to the community to reverse engineer everything and develop new drivers like Apple does. Then there's PC companies like Lenovo, Dell, and System76 that will build a computer with these components and sell it to you with Linux preloaded. No dealing with Microsoft is required.


> I would never pay it for a machine that does not properly run Linux.

I find comments like this a little puzzling. Apple products run MacOS. The operating system is part of the package. And yet someone always shows up to say they would never buy it because of the operating system… it would be like me showing up on a post about an android phone and saying I would never buy it because it won’t run iOS.


I would add that no highlighting would be applied to this mistyped word as it would not be recognised as a variable or a keyword. This may depend on the way syntax highlighting is handled. A common solution like treesitter would sus out that no variable with the name retunr exists, probably causing the mythical base colour to be applied, heh. That is arguably a big highlight in a colourscheme that rarely uses its base colour.


Yeah, it works perfectly fine for me on hyprland.


Don't extra security measures in authenticator apps provide protection against this? I need to enter a pin/fingerprint in order to access my codes. And the code of an entry is hidden and only temporarily shown after being tapped.


Knife crime statistics seem to suggest otherwise. It is nice, until it is not.


Knife crime is down 19% in London this year https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62nqvzzq79o

And still fewer stabbings per-capita than NYC.


It only matters in comparison to the rest of the UK, you don't know how they are collected/recorded differently across countries.


London has a lower knife crime rate than the West Midlands.

Hope that helps!


Interesting it says knife crime for 23/24 was up 16% for London. I wonder if they only record convictions so the 19% decrease will change as people are convicted.

Also West Midlands is that not Biringham etc? Is that not one of the other mostly non-white places in the UK? You could have pointed to number 3 on the list Cleveland being mostly white(95%+ I think) and not being much lower than London.


It's almost like crime isn't that strongly correlated with the ethnic mix of a place! I'm sorry reality doesn't support your racism.

Of course, if you don't believe the police data, that page suggests you look at hospital admissions.

Again, as I said, London is lovely. You said there was a problem with knife crime. I pointed out that London is lower than a comparable major US city. It's also lower than several areas in the UK.

Come and visit - don't believe the lies being spread.


> It's almost like crime isn't that strongly correlated with the ethnic mix of a place! I'm sorry reality doesn't support your racism.

How is what I said racist? I was agreeing with you but saying London being #2 and pointing to #1 is not really proving your point. You should point to #3 to make your point.

> I pointed out that London is lower than a comparable major US city.

Again, you can not compare across countries you don't know the difference in how the data is recorded. For example is a murder not recorded in the USA for every suspious death where as the UK it is for every murder conviction?

> It's also lower than several areas in the UK.

It is #2 on that 23/24 list.

> Come and visit - don't believe the lies being spread.

I lived on London's outskirts for multiple years and have to visit multiple times a year. I wouldn't describe it as great, I dread going everytime.


Yep, but admittedly the vertical tab UX is not the greatest. You either have them always be visible with an option to toggle by clicking the sidebar icon (no keyboard shortcut option afaik), or minimised as icons that expand on hover with an awfully annoying animation.

Looking at Zen, I really don't understand how Mozilla fail to capitalise on their browser, and build up a similar experimental project based on Firefox like it. It seems that many of these small QoL improvements could make a big difference. They have such a huge budget, and they waste it on inane things. Their fancy search deal with Google has made them complacent, and neglect one of the few things that ever had any real worth. Curious to see how it develops with the recent Google ruling. And to be fair, it does seem like Firefox development has picked up a bit lately—maybe even due to Zen's competition, who knows.


These days you can choose between different UIs, some of which will have the "ribbon" style. I do agree though that it feels a bit dated if you're used to MS' office, but you get used to it quite quickly.


Regarding your last sentence, I don't know the answer. If you really want to find out I would make an educated guess that it is one of the more feature-rich modern terminal applications (like kitty, wezterm, alacritty, ghostty)


There is fennel which compiles into lua. I know there are some people who use fennel almost exclusively, and have some sort of system set up that watches and auto-compiles and sources. I only ever used emac as a basic text editor in the terminal (years ago), so I can't say if this will be sufficient compared to the "real" experience in emacs. Just letting you know in case it is helpful.

edit: I forgot to mention the most important thing, I am talking about using neovim
