A Chrome browser error page displays the familiar “Aw, Snap!” message, indicating that something went wrong while loading a webpage. A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right
behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

2/2 p.s. there's a thing in music industry called the #GearAcquisitionSyndrome. It's when musicians are piling up all the tools, bells, whistles, instruments, synths, pedals, whatnot; and then waste all the creative time in gluing all of these to work together - instead of making music.

A "split" keyboard sitting on a desk. The base of the keyboard is an attractive dark-brown wood, and the keys are black, with deep curved divots on top. The keyboard is split into two pieces -- the left-hand part of the QWERTY key layout on the left, and the right-hand part on the right. There is also a trackball mouse, cup of coffee, and set of headphones next to it. Overall it looks like a pretty sweet, de luxe and ergonomic workstation!
The folks at keyboard.io make high-end ergonomic keyboards
they just wrote an open letter about how the tariffs could crush their business
"Making keyboards is intrinsically a cross-border activity" -- china makes the keyswitches, and they ship wood to china

Elon Musk is running Tesla into the ground
His far-right politics aren’t the automaker’s only problem
Tesla is in big trouble. Sales are plummeting and consumers are boycotting the brand as Elon Musk champions far-right politics.
But the CEO’s reputation isn’t the only problem. He’s also made a series of bad business decisions that are coming back to haunt the automaker.

You need to take into account that both podcasts and audiobooks have started to muddle the long-form content pie. In short, I don't buy that people are ingesting less of long-forms; it's just that the medium and form is now more puzzling

Oh ok, so these are "obfuscated identity devs"; not fake devs per se. My first thought that these were just to waste time to HR; but I see your point now.

I'm puzzled here. What's the endgame for these fake dev candidates?
