This is also why you should never keep a horse living alone. He can't rely on his peers to stand watch while he's sleeping.

I want stuff enhanced _locally_.

Would love to be able to stream 360p video and have 1080p equivalent quality, for when I'm just absently listening to what's happening.

But sending a picture to the cloud, to get a bigger picture in exchange, that sounds stupid.

Forget sending the pictures I view to MS, what about the pictures my customers view?

I work as a photographer half the time, and opted out of using lightroom and other cloud services because I don't want my images to land in the various clouds and AI bullshit.

But I guess now I don't have any control over that anymore, do I?

or you just ^F and search for the string you're looking for and enjoy a good laugh :)

I love python, but that's the reason I eventually decided to build my services in php instead.

Hosting is dirt cheap, fixed cost, and it's just an rsync away from being deployed.

And break every library there is, just for a minor inconvenience?

Damn, wait till you work with... Well, just about any language.

Oh, that would explain why some of my users suddenly can't access URLs that worked forever.

I send those URLs through facebook messenger, which add its 'fbclickid' nonsense to them.

I don't care for that tracking information, however it seems the URL becomes malformed after iOS "cleans" it, resulting in a redirect loop on my server.

When was iOS 17 released?

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, it's not released yet. Must be something else then... I blame facebook

Google used similar tactics to promote Chrome at the time.

Parsed easily? Sorry, have you tried parsing XML?

It's really hard, maybe impossible to come up to a new place and instantly take a good shot.

You need to stay there, move around, explore the space, the light, the interaction with the living.

Eventually you find a good way to tell the story of the place. You get lucky. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it isn't.

> Yakread uses machine learning to rank the articles in your feed: as you click on articles from a particular RSS/newsletter subscription, other articles from that subscription will tend to be ranked higher in the future (via a bandit algorithm). Yakread also uses ML to recommend articles that other users have read, so your feed will have articles in it even before you sign up and add your own subscriptions.

I feel like you didn't need ML to do that.

Yes, please be that guy. Or I'll do it.

Vanilla Javascript refers indeed to "javascript without a framework". So creating a framework and calling it "vanilla javascript" is... wrong?

I must say, I never quite liked PHP as much as other environments, but I keep using it because it just gets the job done.

Over at 30-something? Damn, it's time I started enjoying retirement!

When I was a kid, my parents hated that I was passionate about "cheap mindless video games".

Guess who's become a successful software engineer and happy human as a result?

Don't dismiss what your kids are into because you don't understand it. Their peers will, and their peers will give them money for it.

I'd argue that you shouldn't turn a passion into your bread-winner.

Because doing so will force you to degrade your passionate goals to mere everyday tasks, and that'll ultimately ruin your passion.

So basically we still understand nothing about nutrition.

Not like that's new...

Only let the GET and HEAD requests through, probably. I'd say about a day fiddling with the load balancer, at most.

What kind of usage do you do with your pointer? I find that with code editing, it's annoying to pick up / put down the stylus all the time.

Have you tried a vertical mouse? That is the best for me: comfortable, yet mouse-y :)

Oh, I had no idea! How long does a tennis ball live, typically?

Nah, the sign language really is different.

Python syntax is predictable, readable and concise. What else do you need?

I wouldn't waste a second writing about it if it happened only once.

That's not the answer I got on their IRC a few years back.

Lol, that's the default response when people complain about other people being rude and not having paid something.

Look, I was just trying OpenBSD with an open mind, and I met people who were unhelpful.

Even in the street if I asked someone for the time and he said "get a watch", it would be rude.

I understand that they don't want to help. But do they need to be rude about it?

Wanna bet?

"As is in most cases"

And then there are the other cases. Then you ask the community. And again, not welcoming etc.

No, and apparently it's for a good reason, but don't ask why.

Again, not saying it's a bad choice. Just saying the community is not welcoming.

Yes. And then when you ask why the X11 server is bundled by default, even on a headless install, that's not in the FAQ, and they get very defensive about it...

What I'm saying is: it's probably a great OS with great documentation, but the community isn't welcoming at all.
