You can join a Google Meet meeting without a Google account if the meeting creator enables the “Anyone with the link can join” setting, or if they accept you when you click the lin…

Yes. https://chromestatus.com/feature/4592567062626304 links to the implementation bug at crbug.com/1026287 which had been closed as a duplicate of crbug.com/1333988 which has been…

I'm unconvinced. The author seems to be stating that because llms have generated "interesting" statements that all of Chomsky's approaches are invalidated. This seems to assume tha…

How much is "surprisingly inexpensive"?

Font sizes get scaled in the browser. So when you ask for a 9px font, the browser treats that as 9px in virtual pixels, then maps it into 18px physical pixels. It mostly works, but…

Thanks for posting the bug links. Also wanted to point out that the user feedback in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249645 is not the way we should treat browser developer…

It sounds like they've taken the existing Type-1 cgm plus self-adjusting pump and used it on type-2 diabetics. Solid medical study. Hardly a breakthrough, IMO.

Origin predates computer RPG's. It's from tabletop role playing games, and stands for "non player characters". NPCs are the characters that the Dungeon Master (DM) creates to guide…

Don't forget a music company... no wait, different Apple.

The linked article doesn't give a lot of detail on the specific complaints or what you would need to do to make those sites accessible. Do you have any information on that?

I'm curious here and would love to hear thoughts on: A) Youtube's terms of service clearly state "not for kids under 13"[1] B) Youtube has produced a product for the younger age ma…

Democracy has some intentional opacity though. Consider the impact of making your personal voting choice public. AFAIK, nobody has ever tried that because of the dangers of vote bu…

As others have suggested, it's difficult to assess an organizations values against your own. That being said, it's well worth investing your time/energy/creativity into an effort t…

Yes, there is "still plenty of coal production" in Australia. Some references: Coal accounts for about 75 per cent of Australia’s electricity generation, followed by gas (16 per ce…

Sorry to hear about hat - it must have added a huge amount of stress. I had a similar experience thirty years ago, after being hospitalized for ketoacidosis. (Fun fact: As a DKA pa…

I'm a T1D for 45 years, and since my first diagnosis there has always been a cure that would be available "within the decade". This is the way. That being said, every decade has se…

To put it more directly, the same document states (on page 36): In the last week from 08 January 2022 to 14 January 2022, in an age-standardised population, the COVID-19 related de…

Perhaps because of the web's deployment model? Quickly getting from "interested in" to "running the game" might be a game-changer. (apologies for the unintentional pun)

Love it! If the author's here, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the upcoming scroll-linked animation api[1] [1] https://drafts.csswg.org/scroll-animations-1/EXPLAINER.md

Glad to see more folks supporting efforts like this. I've been using a similar DIY approach[1] to manage my diabetes for four+ years, and it's been surprisingly effective and impac…

This is on my "SW Dev songlist" ever since my CS professors (Robin Dawes and James Cordy) ran a singalong event in CISC 200/210. Others include "Under the wings of a transistor"[1]…

There's debate on the left-brain/right-brain model, which I think has been somewhat debunked[1][2] That being said, brains are weird and if you find you can multitask then go for i…
