The internal culture was influenced by Steve Jobs. He was widely known for being an asshole who also happened to be an excellent salesman with a really good design sense.

That's Apple.

Ah. I should have made that part a little clearer. That's just a video file of a screen recording showing me cycling through display modes.

It sounds like you're describing some cross browser issues playing that mp4 file.

Thanks for the feedback though. I'll try to reword that section so it's more clear.

Not working after the resume() call? Are you getting an error message or just missing data?

Good point. I’m writing a bigger article on the whole WebRTC video chat project (which the audio visualizations are a part of). I’ll have some kind of demo ready for that one, although it’s a little awkward as everything was designed for one on one chats.

That’s such a cool project! I really like the imagery you were able to produce.

One of the next few things I want to work on is more interesting visualization options.

Just so you know, I got an error when trying to use the mic on mobile Safari when using your live demo. this.audioCtx was null when calling .createMediaStreamSource.

I created a slightly different kind of bot for my website (https://dwayne.xyz/utils/bot). It started as a bot for Twitch (Twitch bots usually only respond to a list of commands that start with !) and then I started to add it to other parts of my site. First, into my IRC server, then into the 1 on 1 (+1?) video/text chat rooms I added.

The base commands are things like !help, !about, !coin (simulates a coin toss), and then I added a little NLP on top to translate to one of those commands. I feel like that works a lot better than a general conversational bot that most likely isn't gonna respond in meaningful ways to most queries.

The "arbiter of truth" argument is weak. I want the people at Twitter and other platforms to be able to make decisions about whether something is a fact or misinformation.

If they get it wrong, fine. We can use other platforms if we don't like the decisions one makes. But I'm tired of the idea that they should NEVER be able to even try to recognize the difference between truth and lies.

You're talking about backing one side or the other, but are concepts like truth or fact a factor in this argument at all?

I created a decent reference for myself so I didn't have to do a web search whenever I forgot the name of one of the property values:

I'm a web (full stack) and app developer with over 15 years of professional experience. I'm currently freelancing (or open to direct full time contracts) and would love to hear about what you're working on and how I can help.

I don't think the argument is that society "needs" it, it's that it's a better system than the one we have now.

I don't know much about the current proposals. In my head, it's an adjustment of the current economic system. Pay everyone money, provide jobs for anyone who wants more money, collect more taxes, remove redundant social services, etc. It seems like it could work better than what we have now so it sounds worthy of serious consideration.

Says who?

It's pretty obvious that as a company gets larger and more powerful, their potential for abuse grows. This comment is funny considering it's about Microsoft of all companies.

Microsoft's telemetry practices SHOULD DEFINITELY be more heavily scrutinized than other companies.

Just a personal website: https://dwayne.xyz

I rented a server from Digital Ocean, installed nginx and Go, and wrote a web server. No frameworks on the front or backend, just HTML, CSS, and a couple of small scripts. And I wrote my own authentication and admin pages to manage everything from the browser.
