The lack of proper adblocker on iOS is what convinced me to use the Brave browser instead of Firefox or Safari. An adblocker is included by default.

And as a bonus : possibility to keep music videos playing while changing app. (A parameter has to be switched for that though)

FAQ about this waterhole, the camera, animals etc. https://gondwana-collection.com/waterhole-camera/faq

Also : avoid using IT terms in examples (or "self-reference"), it can be confusing. In examples choose a very different field : animals, cars or anything, so that there is a very clear difference between language keywords (what needs to be learned) and the dummy data treated (what can be forgotten after reading).

An example not to follow : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_compone...

Here we are trying to explain templates and slots, with "slot" as an html attribute and the dummy data is... "slot". This kind of confusion is useless and makes it more difficult. Almost as if the goal was to be difficult.

The flying saucer is also there too :)

I am curious about other mechanics. Can you tell us more about what kind ? Could you point us towards some resource on this ?

The most important lesson I got from 5 years of Engineer School was the Pareto principle a.k.a. The 80-20 rule

I browse in landscape mode on my mobile : on this website 75% of the screen is occupied by the top banner (25%) + sticky "recommended videos" banner (50%). Amazing how they managed to get me to quit their website so quickly.

There is a very weird display bug on this site : when I access it in lanscape horizontal position, with my iPhone 8 on Brave or Safari : all the text is trembling, unable to settle on a size. Trapped in a resizing loop. If I rotate the phone verically it settles properly and then also horizontally. But if I reload the page (horizontally) it goes nuts again :)

I believe some people might find Zjs Components interesting for this matter :

Paper abstract :

ZjsComponent: A Pragmatic Approach to Modular, Reusable UI Fragments for Web Development

    In this paper, I present ZjsComponent, a lightweight and framework-agnostic web component designed for creating modular, reusable UI elements with minimal developer overhead. ZjsComponent is an example implementation of an approach to creating components and object instances that can be used purely from HTML. Unlike traditional approaches to components, the approach implemented by ZjsComponent does not require build-steps, transpiling, pre-compilation, any specific ecosystem or any other dependency. All that is required is that the browser can load and execute Javascript as needed by Web Components. ZjsComponent allows dynamic loading and isolation of HTML+JS fragments, offering developers a simple way to build reusable interfaces with ease. This approach is dependency-free, provides significant DOM and code isolation, and supports simple lifecycle hooks as well as traditional methods expected of an instance of a class.

Maybe they offer alternatives to webp for those 5% ?

The band Garbage became popular around 1995. Would be interesting to look for any correlation.

I believe it might be this one : https://overcast.fm/+L-hr-xp6c

A website about color scheme that does not respect my darkmode browser preference and burns my eyes on my large screen in the middle of the night with its white background. It also prevents my dark reader extension from doing its job (in all 4 modes!)

This little visual flashy aggression triggers a little angriness reaction.

I ended up escaping without reading what it was about.

If you love the internet, please respect dark mode.

"The Running man" by Stephen King was published in 1982, the movie starring Schwarzenegger was released in 1987 (another adaptation will be released this year in 2025)

The story is similar to a Robert Sheckley's short story from 1952,"The Prize of Peril" adapted into a movie in Germany in 1970 "Das Millionenspiel" and in France in 1982 "Le prix du danger" (same year as King's Running Man novel)

I would say "The Prize of Peril" is the grandfather of these books, movies and series, as far as I know. Battle Royale is the start of another branch, though : it's not one vs many anymore, it's many vs many.

Yes that is why I specified it was non-existent. But the idea behind it is in the same vein somehow. Maybe what Sloot envisioned was something similar to LLMs.

LLMs, and now this, make me think of the (non-existant) "Sloot Digital Coding System" that could be viewed as a form of "compression".

For some reason the result page keeps reloading indefinitely, and it renders the site unusable on Brave/iOS :(

Add your browser data directory to your backup folders list, and restore that folder in case of a localStorage loss, that should do it.

Misleading title. This is true about 5-10% of the human life. For 90-95% of the human life, the exact opposite is happening.

More honest title : "The risk of Cancer Fades Over 80 Years Old, and We May Know Why."

I am on Brave on iOS and I have no idea how to start the game.

It's been my situation, I have had my Brother laser printer for... more than 8 years and I still run on the toner that was delivered with the printer ! Yellow ran low a few years ago, and the printer wouldn't print anymore, so I select "print black & white", and the printer happily keeps working using the black toner only :)

I wonder what limits sends to 2.5GB ?

What about some sort of shadowbanning ? Or "shadowsegregating" : I mean if you detect and group cheaters so that they play with other cheaters ? Leaving normal players alone ? (I am not a player, I don't know how these multiplayer games work, I'm just wondering)

I was wondering exactly the same : did the flight attendant consent to being in a video on the internet while doing her job ?
