Speaking of eyes, Veritasium's occasional collaborator Dianna Cowern (Physics Girl) is doing much better after complications from long covid left her bedridden for two years. It's good to see her up and at 'em.

Her latest video, showing her out of bed and going for short walks, is here: https://youtu.be/vqeIeIcDHD0?si=WoxpqZOuRTWD2XYd

I'm guessing they mean React Server Components, but yeah, it annoyed me too that not only do they not define the acronym, but it appears only once on the page -- the title -- so that it's harder to infer it from context.

"Properly" or properly? Quotes imply some sort of caveat, like it actually doesn't do it properly.

From now on, the FDIC will insure 100% of deposits because of what they did in the Silicon Valley Bank bailout. From now on, the customers of every bank that fails, along with members of Congress, etc., will pressure the FDIC because of the precedent that was created a week ago. Some argue that it’s a dangerous precedent, and they’re not wrong.

If they’re talking about the Jewish observance of the sabbath, it’s my understanding that they’re not allowed to turn on an electronic (or mechanical?) device nor turn one off during the sabbath itself.

Obvious exceptions are made for such things as life-saving situations, the practice of medicine, etc.

chrome://settings/performance -- you can add sites that should remain active

I don't know how to mass administer this across an enterprise, but presumably it would leverage existing tools.

Thanks for posting that comparison. I really wanted to like Liberation Mono, as I'm a big fan of the whole LibreOffice project in general, but I find that, when compared side by side, I actually prefer Jetbrains Mono over the other three.
