Will someone think of the deals politicians are making? Opinion  You might think, since I write about tech all the time, my degrees are in computer science. Nope. I'm a bona fide, degreed historian, which is why I can say with confidence that the UK's recently passed Online Safety Act is doomed to fail.…

Electricity transmission costs across the UK, note they are negative in the south of England, most expensive the north of Scotland. Yet zonal electricity, which might redress some of this, has been rejected. This is holding Scottish industry back, and consumers will ultimately be paying for this.

Just learned that in Vi you can use 'zz' to scroll the editor view so that the cursor is centered. So i immediately remapped {,},n,N to always center the cursor after a 'jump'. Feels great! I'd be happy to hear about your favorite vimrc configs! #vi #vim #vimrc
shows a snippet from a .vimrc file with the following instructions:
" Center the view after jumping to the previous/next paragraph
nnoremap { {zz
nnoremap } }zz

" Center the view after jumping to the next/previous search result
nnoremap n nzz
nnoremap N Nzz

this remaps the {,},n and N actions in normal mode to just also execute zz

'The current energy pricing system doesn’t work, and zonal pricing is the only option on the table that would fix it. There is no other plan - as can be seen by them scrabbling around now to try to cobble one together.' via Common Weal www.commonweal.scot/...

The failure of the UK Government to adopt zonal pricing plays politics with power — Common Weal
Ed Miliband is reported to have ruled out switching the UK’s energy transmission and distribution network (“the Grid”) to a system of “zonal pricing”, according to the Guardian . If this is your first time hearing about this, the current grid system is largely based on reliance on coal and gas. It

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

The real problem with AI art is it is all one specific genre. Theoretically it's a really broad concept: art that's created by an artificial intelligence rather than an organic one. In practice, it's oversaturated pictures of people with freckles who look like they've been dipped in cum.

i think it’s Good for a person to occasionally scroll feverishly on one of the Attention Apps for multiple hours, ideally until they’re dehydrated and their eyelids and teeth ache. it replenishes the spirit, the Salt of a man. our bodies and minds were designed, nay: honed, for just such a purpose

Great post by Andy here. Designing in the browser forces you to consider state. Recently I've seen things like cart buttons with no design for what happens when you click it. Does it open a modal? Navigate away? Prototypes in the browser bring this to the fore. piccalil.li/blog/the-tim...
