censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal
of European media elites deemed against their interests
Has he recently gone full conspiracy theorist? (Also what's that cringy chatgpt picture supposed to tell us?) Who is the shadowy cabal of EU elites? If anything EU is purely politicians obedient to USA interests. I'm guessing this is what happens in tech when the tide starts to shift, because tech doesn't have morals, it's all just about money. Start praising the new administration no matter what they do, until they're not popular and start praising the next thing. Looking forward to his back-to-woke pivot in 2 years.
It might not be a conspiracy theory. Europeans have serious media skeletons in there closet.
Consider La Liga in Spain. When football matches are on they have a blank check to block whatever they want wherever they want. Genuinely they take down all of cloudflare and all kinds of shit. I think they were even DNS banning everyone on .tv TLD. Its wild how much legal power they have.
This was brought up on hacker news often.
They also have their apps spy on users microphones and gps to detect where someone might be watching their streams to make sure you aren't doing it in bars. [1]
Italian media is trying to do similar stuff with their piracy shield stuff. [2]
AtomicDig219303 on Reddit when Italy blocked all of google drive.
> Wait, I don't think that your post describes how fucking idiotic this whole thing is. Piracy shield is a system implemented by AGCOM (which as OP said is a governing agency) and basically "gifted" to the fucking mafia that is Serie A (yes, the football/soccer league) to block access to pirated streams of football matches.
He is partially right. The Atlanticist faction in both the US and Europe has been working to get the internet under control since 2016. This project started as a backlash to the Trump election and moved into high gear with COVID and Ukraine. This faction has a sincere belief that the prior openness of the internet is a threat to the international order, as it prevents authorities from shaping civilian perceptions and behavior.
The battlefield has become more complex since 2016, as the old international order is pretty much dead now, so you have competing factions of Atlanticists (US rump admin/UK/FR/DE/Brussels) versus nationalists (US/Israel/Eastern Europe) who both want control of the internet, but through different means and for different reasons. You could also tack on BRICS nations who decided that the best path is to wall themselves off from the open internet.
Go ahead and downvote, you know I’m right which is why you won’t offer even a single comment in response.
Each of these factions trying to kill the open internet is doing it for selfish reasons and all are in the wrong for doing so. You’re strangling an international commons for your geopolitical games. Shame on all of you!
He contradicts himself in the span of a single sentence. How is it possible that this was done solely by Italy (with concerns from the rest of the EU) and yet this is the work of a cabal of European media elites? If this were true, why isn't the entire EU involved?
That's not really a self-contradiction; if we pretend the USA's copyright lobby had made California pass a similar law… well, that might not work, I have no idea if that would be unconstitutional inter-state trade restriction or something in the USA, but for the sake of showing why it's not a self-contradiction can we pretend?
If the US media elites had convinced California to do that, they'd be a "shadowy cabal of [US] media elites", even if there was opposition from the rest of the USA.
Again, don't read too much into if this would actually work in the USA, the EU is not the USA, this isn't that kind of comment.
US media elites got DMCA and YouTubes copyright strike introduced, I suppose they were powerful enough to sidestep the states and go after Congress instead.
The GitHub Pages article is intentionally minimal, but it’s not meant to be a generic LLM dump.
The examples come from real issues I’ve hit while working with Kubernetes manifests and CI pipelines —
especially duplicate keys, implicit type coercion, and indentation edge cases that silently break JSON conversion.
I’m actively expanding it with:
- concrete Kubernetes + API payload examples
- cases where YAML parses but produces invalid JSON
- notes on tooling differences (yq, js-yaml, browser-based parsers)
The online converter exists mainly as a reference implementation that runs fully client-side and exposes these edge cases clearly:

Happy to improve the guide based on feedback — appreciate the pushback.
I acknowledge "dark" is a judgemental term... but the mix of extreme poverty, extreme relative wealth, and the blind eye towards the sex trade is... dark.
Such misery is not unique to Thailand but you may find it more open, deeply rooted, in your face palpable, or covert-in-troubling-ways.
If you are doing serious dev work of a leveragable nature, I would also be6 thoughtful about how to protect one's innovations in a heavenly land adjacent to China, full of friendly Russian expat hackers post-Ukraine-sanctions, with my hinkiness detectors already overwhelmed by cross cultural signals of a new environment.
I could try to sell you on the merits of low cost of living for English-speaking software hackers in other places like Vietnam or the Phillipines but have to remind myself you aren't asking for that and all I really have is anecdotes and observations anyways and so much of our options and choices are shaped by circumstances and personal tradeoffs. I wouldn't do it but I am me, not you. Good luck!
The site says "No signup required!" but then requires signup to actually generate anything. ("Cost 1 credits 0 generations remaining today".) Probably not going to hand out my email for that.
Having been at G and also getting denied promo several times consecutively, it's almost always a manager's fault. They're either not bringing the committee feedback to you properly or not representing your work well in that room. Either way it's a sign that they're unable to do better, and you're better off not reporting to the long term.
Funny enough just got an error trying to reach to the blog
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request

Indeed. No disrespect to Justin (great person) or any of the engineers who were sacked but Corey's post here is basically "here's someone who was sacked, and here are several other layoff news". AWS is really big organization. Several orders of magnitude bigger than people who were remote/refused to RTO. Organizations like this survive these brain brains.
Internal documents reportedly say that Amazon suffers from 69 percent to 81 percent regretted attrition across all employment levels. In other words, "people quitting who we wish didn't."
I read that as "of 100 people who quit voluntarily, we wish 69-81 of them hadn't". But that number is meaningless without the context of how many people are quitting out of how many are there, not to mention onboarding processes and how fast new hires get up to speed.
> Organizations like this survive these brain brains.
True, that's the other thing. Even if it's true that brain drain directly caused/exacerbated this event, big companies have a lot of momentum. Money can paper over a terrifying range and magnitude of folly. Amazon won't die quickly.
Agreed, and my concern is not a "NSA is monitoring my activity" but more along the lines of whether they have enough funding to staff security research and response for this browser.
It's my common code review comment to the beginners to not embed structs. There's rarely anything to be gained by doing so. The only use case I found to be useful is to embed something like:
where I get to override only a part of a bigger interface at a time and have the embedding take care of the rest by saying panic("unimplemented") to satisfy the interface.
