KPGv2
There wasn't any bump in Tumblr creation timed to when Ao3 went down, and today the new season premiered, which triggers a huge bump on its own.
IIRC everyone involved in restoring this is a volunteer doing this in a few free minutes here and there. I don't think they have any paid IT staff. In the first three months of 2026, the entire org (which is more than just Ao3) spent around $50K total for all costs, most of which is colocation/hardware expenses.
Point is that you can't extrapolate recovery times from the commercial sector to Ao3 recovery times.
In fact, it was 18th century schoolteachers who invented the "rule" that it wasn't acceptable usage.
These same losers also invented the "rules" that you can't end a sentence with a preposition, you can't split an infinitive, and you can't start a sentence with a conjunction.
These are all fake rules that were just poorly obfuscated attempts to make English follow Latin grammar (bc Latin was allegedly a "perfect" language)
Jigo lays a trap that sacrifices hundreds of his own men in order to kill a god.
I'd put both of them in the villain category. Before the battle, I wouldn't put either of them in that category, but the climax really makes them out to be awful people. Eboshi in particular hides behind smiles and buying up the contracts of prostitutes (to make them her slaves) and helping lepers until the climax when she completely abandons them, throwing them to the wolves in service of money.
now I have kids, so they get my teaching attention instead. And I don't touch Twitter.
It goes to your trash can/recycle bin for a while. That's literally what it's for: to guard against accidental deletes. Very few people accidentally delete files from their computer's drive anymore. The only time people do this in 2026 is accidentally formatting an SD card that had their camera's pictures on it or something.
i thought it was richard matthew stallman
I get that this is hn and we're paranoid about everything, but come on, what CVE is a threat to joe sixpack here where he should drop $2K on a new machine to protect against it?
file sync is backup against the things most people have to deal with (hardware breaking, theft, house fire, residential lightning strike)
authorized repair shop says 4 days to fix it and it's my only laptop, so i go without :(
State agency resources are finite. I know my small town had to jack up property rates like crazy this year just to make its slim budget (it's the largest source of revenue, and the 2d is sales tax, which is unfortunately in the toilet thanks to several ruinous federal policies causing people to spend less and fewer people to come as tourists).
If we got FOIA requests, lol, it would take years to respond and would be so expensive. We don't even have a city attorney position. It's contracted out to a law firm because it's cheaper.
Some big FOIA request would cost us an insane amount of money through no fault of our own. Our voters don't want to pay higher taxes, so that's the state of things.
Yes, and having been the counsel that does the review, it can be painstakingly laborious.
Also they didn't get access to part 1/n. They got access to part 1/?. And then 2/?. And then 3/?.
You might think they're sandbagging you, but you aren't the center of the university. There are likely several pests who send hella requests for stupid stuff, cackling about how they're punishing bureaucrats for being bureaucrats. Plus all the legitimate requests that you don't even know about.
Like what are you requesting that is so voluminous, and why do you think you're so special that no one else is doing the same thing at the same time?
The death of apprenticeships is because you are training your own competition. It worked in the past because you trained your kid for a trade that was arcane and took a couple decades to master, but now you'd be training someone with no loyalty to you in a field that can be speed run in a year or so with YouTube assistance.
In the case of calculus as an example, there should be nothing from the class you didn't have time to practice sufficiently. A full academic year is more than enough time to learn integrals, derivatives, sequences, and series with the small collection of tricks for solving difficult problems (telescoping series, trig sub, etc.) There's a couple dozen rules you learn that are straightforward to apply, and for the times they aren't obvious, there's like a dozen total tricks (trig sub, etc.).
I took these classes. I remember how most people just phoned in the entire thing and complained at the exam review sessions how hard everything was.
It's the simplest of memorization.
Give homework, have TAs go over it with students, have a final, which is the only thing graded.
Classes are for bringing you toward mastery, isn't it? You should pass based on mastery, not effort. I don't give a shit if my pilot tries really hard to fly. I care if he successfully flies.
Sure. We would also consider it impossible to achieve in reality, and so the art is in the trying, and gridification removes the art. Hell, it removes the artist.
But this is a digression. Language changes. It always has. What's the big deal? That it's not your generation controlling it this time?
You control the browser, you control the ad experience, the use data, etc.
It's unclear to me what an App Store has to do with anything. (Microsoft does have an app store, by the way. https://apps.microsoft.com/home?hl=en-US&gl=US )
I commend him for trying to learn new skills. no one needs to know this shit. It's not instagram.
The assertion is that the major browser owners (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla) don't want competition, so they keep CSS complicated.
All four of these companies are members of the CSS Working Group. So the ability to do this is within their power.
