Cost vs. Amazon S3 (Filecoin vs Amazon S3 Standard, $0.276/GB/year) is quite the stat: 5772.13% costlier!

Surely I'm not the only one who needs some context for this meme: "Pink Wojak" https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pink-wojak and "Wojak" in general: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wojak

"used to represent those who invested heavily in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies that some believe will be facing an imminent crash in value"

"Man Weeping" or "Urination" are clearly the effects you want to get out of that meeting! "James, we'll have to drop you out of the call unfortunately, your crying is way too loud! Goodbye."

"Ultimately, NFTs prove that society respects artists." Or they prove that people will gamble with all kind of things?

I am personally a big fan of Corinna Baldauf's "Retromat" (https://retromat.org/) which contains a ton of exercises/games for gathering and dealing with feedback. Exercises are designed for retrospective meetings, but I feel they're applicable to all kinds of feedback/brainstorming sessions. It's organised by meeting phases, so there's a rubric for "gather data" activities.

I love the fact, that the example algorithm to reduce user-visible delay on dual-stack hosts is officially referred to as "Happy Eyeballs" in the RFC! I thought this was just the unofficial name and naming is hard.

Another one for the vanlife. It seems that fitness centres are paramount to this kind of living, providing hygiene basics. I wonder how long until we get some type of institution that focuses on the great showers and storage facilities over large amounts of diverse exercise equipment?

I would actually applaud the proposal to have the EU mandate that SaaS products must expose all my data in a "plug-and-play thing" (in a format queryable using SQL?). I can already download it on most services, but usually get some collection of JSON files...

I really wish the generated names had some connection to the CVE. Many of the CVEs on the NVD have a description that could be used/analyzed.

Neat, but who came up with the Google Form that inspired this (and is linked at the bottom of the page)? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRsfRHXPTuEXdNvUcI...

Interesting to see "Forgiveness" listed as one of the core Human Interface Principles:

"Forgiveness means that actions on the computer are generally reversible. People need to feel that they can try things without damaging the system; create safety nets for people so that they feel comfortable learning and using your product."

I feel that forgiveness/reversibility of actions is really helpful in exploring and learning the capabilities of applications.

Very refreshing to see this take on marketing text in "anxiety" mode (https://fibery.io/anxiety). "Normal" alternatives are at https://fibery.io/freedom or https://fibery.io/build.

So the train moved under its own power on the asphalt? The train cannot steer, right? So they had to get the direction just right when moving it onto the street from the train tracks... impressive!

This has been one of the first utilities I install on new Ubuntu machines for some time. Really recommended and a huge improvement on the default!

Neat tool, though many of these free hosting platforms seem like a real pain to use, with das that look like download buttons, waiting periods and constant CAPTCHA checks. Also, I could imagine this to be a maintenance nightmare, ensuring compatibility with all these services.

Genius! Thanks for sharing! "And comments are important, as long as they're maintained"

I'll try to sneak this video into one of our undergraduate software lectures

"Popular apps like Netflix, Hulu, Instagram, and others have opted not to make their iOS apps available on M1 Macs".

What are the reasons that app developers would choose to not allow this? It seems like a really good feature, some apps seem to work better than their website counterparts.

Interesting, according to Wikipedia: "In October 2020, the Hongguang Mini surpassed the Tesla Model 3 to become the bestselling EV in China" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuling_Hongguang_Mini_EV).

However, no airbags?!

Hmm... Slightly confusing name, I initially thought of privacy during Corona "lockdowns".

How is this tracking protection more trustworthy than that of Firefox Focus? However, their "VPN with Proof of Privacy" seems interesting: https://openlyoperated.org/report/confirmedvpn

Retroviruses and our coexistence with them is fascinating to me.

Fun fact: "About 8 percent of human DNA comes from viruses inserted into our genomes in the distant past, in many cases into the genomes of our pre-human ancestors millions of years ago." https://newsroom.uw.edu/news/genes-%E2%80%98fossil%E2%80%99-...

I think one of the main advantages of using data-test-id attributes is to remind myself that there is a test case connected to the code I'm currently editing. Also makes finding all the tests that are connected to this element easier.

I had to google for "Rip Its". Wikipedia says "Rip It drinks average about 160 mg of caffeine from all sources per 16 oz. serving according to product packaging (purchase date: 2020-11-24)". So about 2 espresso shots worth of caffeine.

I really enjoy projects inspired by XKCD comics! Always cool to see ideas materialized by the community.

Is anyone aware of an overview/list of XKCD-inspired projects?

1. What's wrong with a "basic" script?

2. who "likes to pay"? Having a free option is great, no matter whether you're "non-technical" or not...

3. It's hosted on GH Pages. I think they're pretty okay on the scaling front, what do you think?

4. Technically yes, as in "they could switch off GH Pages and the API". Not sure how likely that is. Also, the redirections are saved as GH issues

Thanks! Sharing is definitely no. 1 priority and would be a great feature.

Awesome! My initial thought was to use this for value-based requirements/story prioritization. There the axes would be business value and effort.

Any chance you'll allow customizing the axes and enable sharing of diagrams? (Maybe all info could be stored as part of the URL?)

Yeah! Now I can finally draw a bunch of ellipses and fill them with various colors on Linux too! Brings back childhood memories... Neat project!

Would love to visit Japan based solely on that country's apparent love of, and fascination with, vending machines (that I totally understand!)

Time to train a neural net to generate some Usenet posts (and tweet them out via a bot)?

First "United States Space Force", now a program called "Ghost Fleet Overlord". I'm looking forward to the next iteration... (May I suggest my project http://chrisma.github.io/badass-gamertags/)
