It is remarkable to me that you cannot directly copy-paste the text of an error message out of the Chrome web console. The advice I find about copying the "object" to a global variable and then stringifying, or variants of this, are insane. The web runs on text. The console is displaying text on my screen, which means the "object" was already converted to text. This is gratuitous bureaucracy. I have to fill out the appropriate form to access text I can see with eyes. Maybe I'll OCR it just to be like that? (This is not a request for advice; nor a pinboard for complaints about Google, Chrome, the web, or me; nor a place to opine about why such things might happen in complex pieces of software). #tech #dev #web

Les #IA vont-elles tuer les #hyperliens ces briques fondamentales du #Web ? https://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/article/2026/08/02/les-ia-vont-elles-tuer-les-liens-hypertextes-ces-briques-fondamentales-du-web_6737265_4408996.html Une étude de l’université Columbia démontre que des services comme #ChatGPT #Perplexity #DeepSeek #Grok #Gemini ont tendance à inventer des liens Et puis pourquoi le #chatbot a-t-il sélectionné ce lien plutôt qu’un autre ? C’est une synthèse dont on ignore exactement les sources mobilisées, et donc les biais. Il n’y a pas de traçabilité ou de transparence #valerie_schaefer

If, like me, you love 1990s Web sites, back when the internet wasn't enshittified by Big Tech yet, have a look at Wiby, a Web 1.0 search engine. Click on "Surprise me…" for random discoveries, often personal Web pages about obscure niche subjects, but sometimes you find a hidden gem… https://wiby.org #web #internet #online #RetroComputing #RetroTech #VintageComputing #retro #history #computing #IT #1990s #tech #technology #vintage #nostalgia #digital

Hey folks, can you help me out with a little something: trying to come up with a good number of files limit for a file scan (for Kitten so you don’t hit heap memory limits if you run it from the wrong directory by mistake) and I’d love some statistics from real JavaScript/TypeScript Node.js projects of the number of files in them (excluding .git and node_modules). Would you be kind enough to run the following command in Terminal in your largest projects and let me know what number your get (along with a short description of the project): find . \( -name "node_modules" -o -name ".git" \) -prune -o -print | wc -l Thank you :) #Kitten #SmallWeb #SmallTech #NodeJS #web #dev #stats #helpWanted
