I am not sure how this is going (this blog post is the only info I can find on it) but they have plans to make a new UI library for Qt that is backed by the platform's native widgets, like AppKit on macOS:

Because the visibility of the Arc Welder extension (the one that lets you use Android apps on desktop chrome) is set to hidden, which hides it from both Web Store and Google Searches, there are malicious extensions that take advantage of this and will become the top search result for Arc Welder. And if you don't know where to look, it can be very hard to find the real link for Arc Welder. So as a result, these malicious Arc Welders often get many thousands of installs before being taken down. Very frustrating because even if you report them immediately after they are added, it takes a few days to take them down.

This is a pretty minor thing, but with the open sourcing of WinUI, I wonder if there's enough open-sourced that people could try and figure out how to support Dark Mode themes in non-UWP applications?

They are opening it up now: https://get.dev/

Really excited to see what possibilities for number handling native BigInt in JavaScript will bring

OpenMCT comes to mind

His love of trek has been life long - he even made a fanfilm as a teenager! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn_Sgcxg5PQ

Also similar in name to "Pyxl", like React JSX for Python

This is tangentially related, but one of my favourite little spectral analysis factoids is that because of it Helium was discovered on the Sun before any samples of it were found on Earth. There's an explanation of the process in this link:

And if you want to make a domain name that makes use of that suffix in a crude way, you won't be allowed to:

> Domains considered profane will not be considered on any level, and the application will be dissolved with the applicant being notified, and future requests for the same domain name will be ignored. '.ck' domains are monitored on the web, on a regular basis for profanity on the Internet if it is found to be doing so, or if the site is deemed inappropriate, the domain will be terminated without notification or refund.

If they were that worried about the crude name possibilities, I wonder why they didn't go with ".com.ck" like some other gTLDs did?

I think that if you were to make something like platinum group metals more easily accessible/cheaper, then there would be a lot more uses for them discovered as well. So while you would reduce the price for them massively, I think you could potentially create more demand for them.

Will the ability to make synchronous JS calls allow for something like preventDefault() on events?

Is there any of this new architecture on the master branch yet? I am currently working on a React Native renderer and would like to try and make sure it will be compatible with this re-architecture.

Firefox has a tribute to Mihai Șucan (who without the console api wouldn't be nearly as great as it is today) that you can call from the js console:

    console.mihai()

Which prints a link to this: http://incompleteness.me/blog/2015/02/09/console-dot-mihai/

Kallithea is a fork of RhodeCode too:

I wonder if google would want to buy Atlassian some time in the future?

Layman question: I know that this is not the use case for these and would be way overkill, but what would happen if you tried to run a game on one of these things? Do they still have the ability to render things, or are they just for cuda core/tensor core computing?

That doesn't solve the issue of clickjacking attempts on pages meant to be in iframes (FB like buttons are in iframes)

My mind went to password managers too - something like tis would be great for KeePass/MacPass because its favicon grabber is hit or miss

A while ago I has a MiniDP->DVI adapter on my macbook air that would cause the wifi card to lose all signal. I wonder if this is why?

I think with proxies, you might be able to recreate the magical "sh" library [1] from Python for node.js (wouldn't be surprised if someone already managed this!)

There was a school called "J. Edgar Hoover School", which changed so it was named after Herbert Hoover

That looks pretty good!

Does anyone know if there are any Android apps that interface with Newsblur like BeyondPod can with Feedly?

I've been using Feedly since Google Reader died. Curious if there are any other good ones - I miss GReader's ability to have subcategories for example, and am curious if there's a service that supports this

> If someone has a high-quality way to use asyncio or Twisted with the Qt event loop, I'd probably bump Python a bit higher

I've experimented around with Quamash[1] a bit with Asyncio and it seems to work nicely! Looking at CI it seems to have some rough edges (at least on Windows) though.

Tesla was going to have something like that, but they ended up dropping the idea for a while. Looks like they might be considering it again, though

I wonder if "BitPay Card" will end up supporting BCH?

Another good one: https://github.com/philipl/pifs

Would be sweet if it was compatible with the original cassette/floppy drives!

Ron Howard was working on one, but put it on hold to work on the Star Wars Han Solo movie
