oolongCat··on Google.com partially dangerous
Precisely!
oolongCat··on Google.com partially dangerous
I really really dislike this. Why does google get to decide which websites are good and which are not. Unless someone subscribes to this service google should do what it does best, search.

One day they decide everyone should be mobile friendly, the next day they decide which sites are bad and which are not, what more?

Every single day, google is giving me more reason to use alternative search engines.

If the whole world could get their s* together, we can perhaps have a worldwide grid.

He doesn't have one.
oolongCat··on Rendering React without browser JavaScript
Every time I see someone mention react and other frameworks are bad for SEO, I cant help but think, shouldn't search engines have to worry about this.

Google and other search engines have brilliant people working for them who can create systems which can guess what I want to search before I have entered the entire query, and you are telling me these same people can't do something about pages using the latest technology. Sigh.

Welcome to the internet, where people only read half the story and make up opinions :P

Any place where I could read a good introduction to IPFS ?
oolongCat··on Julie Rubicon
Sigh I did the same, sent her the link as I was reading the article halfway.

Once I finished, when they repeated the name Julie I scrolled up, came back here and boom, fiction. lol

Now that's terrifying. Glad it worked out for you.

My tifu is when I first started working for an actual client, I thought I was a genius running my own git server on my own computer. Also I had the ssh key for my server on the same computer.

When my hdd failed, I lost everything.

Now the funny thing was, while my server was running I had no way to gain access to the server, the customer had already started using it, and they had inserted around 400-500 records already.

Now there I was, locked out of my own server, no source code I was working on for around 3-4 months.

Lucky for me, someone online had mentioned about a way to gain access to an aws server if you lost the ssh key.

I created a new instance, and mapped the old storage to the new instance. Lucky for me this worked.

Also, 2 weeks(ish) before this blunder I had sent a copy of my code to a friend who was helping me with some issues I had.

So my email saved me.

Now I backup regularly, use github(recent projects gitlab) and I have my ssh keys on 3 separate pen-drives and this http://www.oakalleyit.com/node/4 ----------------

oolongCat··on Web Page Performance Death by a Thousand Tiny Cuts
Not if you love your work and you are lucky enough to work for a good company that you really want to contribute to.

I think its a bit rude for you to suggest someone who brings some work home has no life. Many developers are passionate about their job, they love learning and most importantly they love a good challenge. You don't stop thinking about a challenge at work as soon as the clock hits 5.

oolongCat··on Godot game engine reaches 2.0
This should answer your question, http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/reference/gdscript.htm...

As for my personal experience with GDScript, I used to experiment with Godot a while back, and honestly I never felt like GDScript was some sort of hindrance never felt it was in the way. It was really, really easy to pick up if you know another programming language already.

Well no one is stopping you from writing it in shell.
oolongCat··on 2015 “smashed” 2014’s global temperature record
Well, you should really try living here.

The thing is, you can really tell the difference when you have to deal with this heat everyday there are some days you just do not feel like going outside. The sun just burns, especially when you get down from your car you can feel your whole face burning up.

See the thing is, growing up we never had an A/C in our house, no one complained, once in a while yes it would get hot, but a common table fan would fix the problem.

But now, everyday we many families around where I live need to keep a table fan running at all times.

Its 4 AM in the morning, and its still warm outside. And Jan is supposed to be a relatively colder month in my country.

The funny thing is, just how many people over here notice this increase in temperature.

It's scary.

oolongCat··on 2015 “smashed” 2014’s global temperature record
I live in one of those "Record Warmest" boxes, it really was hot during the past year.

Its funny how people you would consider uneducated and poor in my country would understand that there is clearly something going wrong with the world around us, while some people with lots of money, influence and education choose to believe that this is all a conspiracy by a foreign government.

It's just nuts, really, something is terribly wrong with our world, and we need to fix it.

Please, if you have the time, please join a local group that helps conserve the environment, learn how you could help reduce your carbon footprint, even a little could go a long way.
