Same here in Chrome and Firefox

Just a heads up that Firefox pops up a dialog asking whether I'd like to translate the page from Russian as soon as I open your site - you have lang="ru" on your <html> tag

Here's a quick and dirty attempt to even up the colours:

And the full-size original for comparison:

(I just overlaid the original on the left over the upscaled version on the right and set the blending mode to Colour in Photoshop)

I'd call these 'release notes'

Very nice! Reminds me of OpenBenches: https://openbenches.org/

You've missed one 'airports' in the footer: 'This page lists pianos that have been confirmed to be in airports around the world.'

Thought about branching out into train station organs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_station_organ?us...

You also say that you're not limited to just using them for that purpose

Something like this really needs a robust privacy policy answering questions like:

- is my photo visible to you, the developer?

- will my photo ever be shown to other users?

- will my photo be used to train your recommendation algorithm?

- how long will my photo be retained for?

Have you thought about adding a simplification algorithm such as Ramer-Doublas-Peucker [0] or Visvalingam–Whyatt [1]? I've used https://mapshaper.org/ to do GeoJSON path simplification before and those seem to work very well. For applications which want to maintain path accuracy while reducing the number of waypoints that may be more effective than truncating the decimal places

Tone.js is a framework to actually play audio/music. Tonal.js deals with music theory but not actually turning that into audio

Thanks for posting this! I've been experimenting with adding generative ambient music to my white noise app Ambiphone [0] using tone.js, but I've just been using manually written progressions and motifs, so I'm really excited to try this out.

Just a heads up that your example at https://observablehq.com/@ricardomatias/playa doesn't seem to be working at the moment because of browser autoplay restrictions - the console errors that look relevant are:

> An AudioContext was prevented from starting automatically. It must be created or resumed after a user gesture on the page.

> The AudioContext is "suspended". Invoke Tone.start() from a user action to start the audio.

The HN guidelines [0] say titles shouldn't be changed from the original source except in specific circumstances. The word 'Censorship' doesn't appear anywhere in the Guardian article.

How do you protect against the chatbot providing inaccurate or inappropriate answers to users, such as https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68025677 or https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20240222-air-canada-chatb...?

https://github.com/apps/silly-senior-dev says it's a private app, do you need to change the visibility?

It seems to think Hacker News is running on Wordpress?

Are you aware of Google's guidelines on link spam? https://developers.google.com/search/docs/essentials/spam-po...

Are these kinds of 'pledges' ever actually binding in any meaningful way or are they just a way to placate those who are unhappy with the takeover? I feel like I've seen similar promises reneged on a hundred times

So people with allergies shouldn't tell the people who will be preparing food for them about their allergies before the food is served?

Fantastic, let me know how you get on!

That's so cool, thank you for recommending it!

I'm building https://ambiph.one, an ambient music/white noise/soundscape web app. It's a free alternative to apps which have a monthly fee or are covered in ads. Lots of lovely feedback from people who've found it useful for sleep, tinnitus, focus, ADHD etc

Just launched a PWA and now working on more mixing features like spatial audio, reverb and high/low-pass filters to let you create even more immersive sound environments.

I went to cookiechimp.com in a fresh private browsing window to see what cookies it set by default

There are three Intercom cookies (prefixed intercom-device-id-, intercom-id- and intercom-session-) that aren't listed in 'Essential cookies' in the consent tool. Is the product not able to detect third-party cookies such as the Intercom ones?

The privacy policy at https://cookiechimp.com/cookie-policy also doesn't list these cookies, as well as others that are listed as essential in the consent tool (such as cc_cookie)

I think it would have been prudent to disclose in your comment that you're head of product for this tool, per your bio

Are you aware of Delphi, the programming language? You may end up having a trademark clash: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi

This part of the article matches my understanding of the difference:

> Switch versus checkbox

> Generally, we recommend using a switch when the end user understands the user interface element as a setting that is either “on” or “off”. A checkbox is well suited for when the end user would understand the element as something to be selected.

I'm not really sure what the advantage of this is over a normal <input type="checkbox">?

The SETI@Home screensaver [0] (the predecessor to BOINC) was the peak of nerd-cool when I was 11 or 12 years old. I had no idea what any of the graphs meant, and still don't, but I knew that I could help find _aliens_, and look like a hacker doing it

"Remote working" is a little misleading here. The engineer was on call remotely because it was a public holiday; an engineer would usually be on-site during the workday. Per the report [0]:

> NERL’s protocol for the availability of engineering support is based primarily upon the level of engineering work planned (particularly maintenance activities) and not on the level of demand for air traffic service provision. The NERL rostering arrangements for engineers provide for at least one Level 2 NERL engineer to be available on site during a “normal” working day. On public holidays, when maintenance is not routinely scheduled, it is common practice for staff to be available on standby at remote locations – typically at home. On these occasions, in the event of a system fault that requires Level 2 support, initial access would be via a remote connection. However, major operations, such as the full system restart required in this incident, cannot be performed remotely, and the engineer must be on site.

There is, of course, an argument that critical systems such as this should have engineers onsite at all times, but I think there's a distinction between remote working and remote on-call

How does a fixed monthly fee equate to...

> Only pay for the actual time spent developing your requested features. Not a single minute extra.

That just sounds like a standard time & materials contract?
