    This I didn't know, thank you for that! "Build a selfhosted codecrafters" might be a fun meta "build an X"

    > If publishing the most papers is the goal why do we even need journals? For discoverability. Someone's trivial finding may be someone else's key to a major breakthrough, but litt…

    Grapheneos is, to my understanding, a dedicated development effort that specifically targets pixels. Lineageos on the otherhand, provides scaffolding that volunteers can use to sup…

    Ha, yeah. Sailed right over my head. It's really too bad. Both about the what the platform has become and the missed setup.

    It's not the end of the world, it's a minor convenience and better than busy waiting. There are plenty of cases where you want to manipulate an object but it's not guaranteed that …

    Like? It's hard to do anything when the executive, legislative, and judicial branches are all controlled by the same party. Until midterms, there's not much that can be done at the…

    Probably because the tsa isn't able/allowed to hand out access willy nilly. It's kinda like how the police need warrants to request cellphone data, but cellphone companies could se…

    Yes, they build off other open source projects and list them in the README. I actually do run moonlight + sunshine myself, and have for more than a year. It's not too difficult to …

    Yeah, it doesn't really elaborate on why openworld might be more fun than standard tracks/cups. Sure, I can drive around in it and look at it, but what makes than fun? This article…

    Well, I'd understand why it's difficult to extend to nationwide or even statewide just because of all the variations in road/driving conditions. So I can get how FSD never got cert…

    Genuine question, can you provide multiple explicit examples of such bias? I heard a lot of people railing against bias in Wikipedia, but no one provides any blatant examples of it…

    Seems like using a sledge hammer to pound a nail. Why not just use an ad blocker like ublock origin?

    Emphasis on "Github flavored", which supports additional extensions to the markdown spec that a TUI can't properly preview. You need some kind of GUI (preferably a browser since it…

    You're already 99% of the way there, you're just have the order of operations wrong. What you're doing is sRGB -> linear perceived luminance space -> sRGB (greyscale, where R=G=B) …

    I agree, today's challenge was really easy. But I did enjoy the other days, I played all of them! What I'd like is an option to show the answers after failing (not by default, so y…
