radium3d··on WordPress Playground: A WordPress that runs entirely in the browser
Interesting, seems the dedicated worker in chrome task manager is utilizing 1,135,948k of memory
radium3d··on Nginx 1.25.0: experimental HTTP/3 support
I wholeheartedly agree with you, and I am so glad that wikimedia is pushing to stay truly open source.

Accepting these "sprinkles on top" licenses is highly foolish. I do hope that the true free and open source licensed software prevails in the server space. As many as possible must continue to hold out and push forward with new better and better scalable fully open source software.

radium3d··on Software firms across US facing tax bills that threaten survival
Sounds like something the same folks who think taxing unrealized gains is a good idea and won't instantly tank the entire world market would think up and then put into law.
radium3d··on What GPT-4 Does Is Less Like “Figuring Out” and More Like “Already Knowing”
The reason these GPT large language models stand out is, we "generate text" based on the "input text" we are trained on too. But these can train on orders of magnitude more text than we will ever ingest in our entire lifetimes.
radium3d··on The FBI now recommends using an ad blocker when searching the web
hehe makes sense to send all the pages you visit to the FBI/NSA, etc. If they have multiple sources (DNS and AdBlockers, VPNS, etc. They can verify the data on one or the other.
radium3d··on Linode rebranded as Akamai’s cloud computing services
I have been using a Linode VPS for years. I never talk about it because it always just works. Perhaps that's why? I had never heard of Akamai before they took over Linode. There are bubbles around the world we've never entered. I do hope they continue to upgrade my server for free very couple years just like Linode has always done. If they don't, then we know Linode's true innovation is dead and I may move on.
radium3d··on Another Russian spacecraft at ISS has a coolant leak
From what I've heard these leaks were caused by a micrometeor impact, but I am not up there checking myself...

radium3d··on Is this poison ivy?
I removed a poison oak plant from our yard last year and it splattered on my arms somehow from the stems. I had rashes on my arms for a month. Weird thing was it felt AMAZING to put scalding hot water on my arms after a few days, and after doing it the itch / pain would be gone for about 6 hours. I could then repeat the hot water method and it always felt amazing, I almost miss it. lol Hope that plant is gone for good!
radium3d··on ChatGPT won’t replace search engines any time soon
I agree, Google has gotten worse, I find more and more often lately I do not find what I am searching for. I try to change my question/wording and it just gets worse. I think their algorithm is failing. Did they lose their way? It used to supply useful information. I think they may need to reduce their reliance on website performance. Site performance does not equate good information. They are excluding the best information just because the site loads slightly slower. Sure, it's nice having a site load fast but that's not what I'm searching for. I want the best result slow or not. As a web developer I have had to spend a great deal of time optimizing sites and clients feel it's extremely important for SEO to have the fastest Google Page Speed score possible.
radium3d··on Ask HN: How have you been tracking your work each week?
I keep a google doc for the year and create a heading for each day where I write down a small sentence explaining each task along with the rough time (15 min increments or so) to be submitted by EOD and also track the time and write out detailed descriptions in our project management system (currently monday.com). Do not recommend. Minimum happiness levels will be quickly attained, and no one will ever look at all these notes more than once.
radium3d··on U.S. workers have gotten less productive – no one is sure why
I'm a web developer, and about 2 years ago my company implemented a new note taking policy that takes up a very large portion of my time, makes me feel like I'm untrusted and I just don't feel as happy as I did before. We are required to write a note of everything we do through the day with time spent and submit it by the end of the day. This is in addition to our project management system where we already track our time and write our detailed notes on what we do for each task. Prior to the policy I was able to finish work on time, now I dread the note portion of my day and I usually end up spending an hour or so at the end of the day to write up my "journal" of the day. I also have zero extra time which I used to use to learn new skills and techniques. It's an absolute waste of time and is destroying my urge to learn new skills that used to help improve the company's processes and efficiency.
radium3d··on California can't save every burned town
Sounds like something an insurance company that just wants to receive money but never pay out would say
radium3d··on Li-ion battery warehouse fire put out with Portland cement (2021)
Might be different for various lithium batteries but here is what Tesla's Emergency Response Guide recommends:

USE WATER TO FIGHT A HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FIRE. If the battery catches fire, is exposed to high heat, or is generating heat or gases, use large amounts of water to cool the battery. It can take between approximately 3,000-8,000 gallons (11,356-30,283 liters) of water, applied directly to the battery, to fully extinguish and cool down a battery fire; always establish or request additional water supply early. If water is not immediately available, use CO2, dry chemicals, or another typical fire-extinguishing agent to fight the fire until water is available.

NOTE: Tesla does not recommend the use of foam on electric vehicles.

Apply water directly to the battery. If safety permits, lift or tilt the vehicle for more direct access to the battery (see chapter 2). Water may be applied from a safe distance ONLY if a natural opening (such as a vent or opening from a collision) already exists. Do not open the battery for the purpose of cooling it.

Tesla does not recommend placing the vehicle in a large container full of water. The use of a Thermal Imagery Camera or Infrared (TIC or IR) is recommended to monitor battery temperatures during the cooling process. Continue to use water until the battery has reached ambient temperatures or below, indicated by the thermal imagery camera. When utilizing a thermal imaging camera, allow enough time, once the application of water has stopped, to allow for heat within the battery to transfer to the battery enclosure.

radium3d··on Debian's Chromium changes default search engine to DDG
Drop the default search engine and show us a list of search engines with the option to add our own instead of setting it for us on first run.
radium3d··on A near 100% renewables grid is well within reach, and with little storage
As a homeowner (1750 sqft, 100% electric with one EV [no gas appliances or fireplace]) in a dry (9-10 inches of rain per year) climate with a small 8.4kW solar installation with one 13.4kW battery, I can tell you that if we had 5-10kW more battery storage our home would be 100% off grid. As it stands now we're 71% self-powered with a current energy offset of 106%.
radium3d··on EV shipping is set to blow internal combustion engines out of the water
Maybe we need smaller hydrofoil container ships
radium3d··on Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade
I've had good luck once I get a system going with arch. Only rarely are there manual interventions required for updates, I just run pacman -Syyu every few days. I just try to install very few packages, only what I need for the server.
radium3d··on Flutter 3
If done properly your customers won’t even know.
radium3d··on WordPress’ market share is shrinking
The glitchy / beta (alpha?) level performance testing tools introduced by Google in the last two years have also been contributing to the lower scores and the constant changing of the scoring metrics has not helped developers such as myself get a strong hold on what Google wants. We are just now within the last 6 months really getting a strong foothold on things like CLS when using page builder plugins such as SiteOrigin Page Builder. They added a features in October last year that really knocks the CLS to zero and we've seen mobile scores way up in the 90-100 range now. WordPress can perform well with a well implemented caching system such as the one WPEngine setup on Google Cloud.
radium3d··on Flutter 3
I came here to say this too. Build your app as a website, then just use a simple browser window of an app that loads your site. Then you only develop in one place, and have nothing to compile or build. Hardly ever have to update your "app" builds even. This won't replace every app of course depending on what you're trying to do and if it requires specific hardware features, but I'd say about 99% of apps don't need to be native.
radium3d··on Vimeo: “We are a B2B solution, not the indie version of YouTube.”
Is there a reason YouTube/Alphabet have not entered into the URL-Locked video embed business? Seems like a simple thing they could easily implement in a few weeks.

radium3d··on Samsung plans $17B chip plant in Taylor, Texas
Nice, so they can be powered by Tesla's megapack / solar and ship chips directly to Tesla Terafactory via Boring tunnel! Cybertruck manufacturing is looking green
radium3d··on Rufus: Reliable USB Formatting Utility
Rufus has been my go-to for maybe decades now? It's one of those software that I keep a copy of in cold storage for the apocalypse.

VW, if you read this please do change the name, I like it!
radium3d··on Volkswagen will not change name of U.S. operations: sources
I like Voltswagen, it's cool, but zero loss if they don't rename too.

radium3d··on Google Cloud vs. AWS Onboarding Comparison
I'm curious, has anyone gone with Linode VPS or similar instead of the big two? How was that experience?
