Bruce Schneier [1] thinks it’s a good idea [2] too.

Challenging US dominance by implementing your European payment platform on AWS? Weird take…

Mozilla employees up until recently (2024), and research literature, seem to be calling them throbbers as well.

Anecdotally, I’ve only ever heard non-frontend developers call them “spinners”.

Maybe starting a discussion on the articles’ talk page could elicit some change? Language evolves, after all.

That is how language works.

Ask your favorite LLM to write an overlay for whichever package you need patches applied for before they hit Nixpkgs.

Those aren’t spinners (also called numeric updowns, see [1]). Those are throbbers (also called loading icons, see [2]).

Nope! Claude is even able to understand AsciiDoc just fine (which is a blessing). But it will always insist on the Markdown extension.

There are plenty of programs on Git forges which aim at not using dependencies. We do not need to wait centuries for it to happen.

In this instance, the system worked as designed. Phone got wiped after too many incorrect PIN inputs.

I use Hetzner and Bunny too. What does Coolify do in this instance?

Not disclosing a vulnerability you found to the manufacturer (while the product can still hopefully be patched) is “not responsible”. I think that’s what the person is trying to say.

New comment by Diti in "I changed my license"

Diti — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 08:02:01 +0000

How is it “the best”? It’s inapplicable in any jurisdiction which guarantees authors cannot give away their moral rights. So literally any other license which requires attribution is better than CC-0 in that case, for instance.

This gets posted literally moments before I was about to pay them after ditching Claude. Thank you! I hate data collection in paid products.

I think I will be using Kagi Ultimate for the inference UI, so the data is somewhat anonymized before being collected.

This exact issue is why I have been paying for my e-mails for the last 5 years.

“SUCCÈS” and “ERREUR” work too.

I also wonder why it’s the 2012 version of the language which gets all the hate, instead of the hate being directed at Google, who doesn’t care about putting resources towards updating the main offender, Kubernetes’ YAML 1.1 parser. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/34146#issuec...

It is vibe-coded. Consider it is public domain. If it isn’t, ask your favorite LLM to launder this project so it is licensed under your own terms.

I got similar results, with just memory disabled in profile.
