I found that retyping from a programming book helped me truly incorporate what I was learning more than simply reading it, in the same way that copying a painting is a deeper study than just scrutinizing one. When you're forced to physically go slow it gives your brain extra cycles to really chew on what it's doing. The translation from physical paper to computer was somehow more helpful too. Whenever I cheated and used the enclosed CD that chapter wasn't as solid in my mind.

Flipping back through a book has never been fully replicated electronically either, I think because you can't associate some info's location with its physical thickness in your fingers. We aren't just visual creatures, our brains constantly weave associations with all kinds of sensory input, and physical objects offer more.

I don't miss the price of those books though. I could never afford all the books I was interested in, and in those days you were lucky if your library had anything computer related at all.

You can probably rig up something similar using firefox settings depending on what your needs are for convenience and granularity.

Yeah, you can manually whitelist domains (including expressions). I do this for sites where I don't mind keeping cookies around (like lemmy).

I use Cookie Autodelete. Doesn't matter what I choose, it's getting nuked when I close the tab. Handy to clear out IndexedDB and localStorage too, for sites that only let you read one or two pages before putting up a paywall.

Seems unfinished and lacking specifics. Gotta love the annotations.

"Trump fucking plastered us"

^^^^ SOURCE??!?!?

Just fantastic analysis here. Love the Redditisms and corporate nonsense language. There's some genuine nuggets of truth about how the party needs to actually represent the people and not just the rich that I'm sure they'll pretend they didn't see. This is the most milquetoast analysis of their failures and you can still feel their seething petulance to every page.

Edit: God damn this is just terrible. Why wouldn't you finish this before releasing it? Ken Martin and the DNC thinks the pressure will be off now? They look like total fucking idiots.

Even if the vehicle itself is possible nothing is taking the existing highway curves at that speed. Either they need to have a huge radius or be banked. It's just ridiculous. It's like reading the hyperloop propaganda all over again.

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants... Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Sorry is there an Adrian Zenz-like figure I can ask instead?

Seriously though I admire that, despite all we've done to them, he still responds with a dignity that we certainly don't deserve. Of course we're totally deaf to this as a people, but I respect the gesture.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."

Somebody here said something like, "Can't wait for libs to tell me I'm responsible for a Vance presidency because I refuse to vote for this ghoul." I think about that every time he opens his mouth. Can't wait for all the milquetoast liberal pushback against Newsom's despicable rhetoric to melt away into "Blue no matter who" the minute he is coronated by the plutocracy.

His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin

You paid for something and never got it. Initiate chargeback with your bank. Amazon may close your account for this, but fuck them.

Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.
