    Exactly! Whenever I feel offended by someone, I remind myself of David Foster Wallace's message in "This is Water." It's become a positive reflex for me, one that safes me from a r…

    Hey thanks a lot, that should be the actual link behind the submission. Very interesting technique that boils down to encode a url with a ton of carefully shaped random numbers hid…

    DHH also famously describe why and how they are leaving the cloud https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud-654b47... I'm not a fan boy of DHH but I really like his cri…

    That is so beautiful. The underlying algorithm is perlin noise (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlin_noise ) and it's over 40 years old! It's such a fabulous tool as the genera…

    Hey, I didn't mean to sell another tool over yours! It's just an experience that popped into my mind and I wanted to share. I appreciate your work and contributing to the problem s…

    I used ngrok when it was the to-go answer for serving localhost (temporarily, not permanent) to the public, but the last time I searched for alternatives I stumbled upon the follow…

    I did not play this (yet!), but just by watching this video I see how it overlaps with the coding games on https://code.org/en-US (Hour of Code!) in terms of having a code + gaming…

    That gives me a quite literal flashback. Back in the Macromedia Flash 5 days (25 years ago!), Robert Penner popularized the easing concept. I can't imagine the void we had before t…

    I missed the "About" link in the footer but still found my way to the repo [1], where the project is briefly explained including a ton of great example images. Thanks for that! > T…

    Yeah there are some issues. PR is stuck at "Checking for the ability to merge automatically..." By accident I landed on https://us.githubstatus.com/ and everything was green. At fi…

    Content wise a nice idea, but I also like the conclusion about how AI made this possible in the first place. The author itself mentions this motivation. AI is undoubtedly perfect f…

    I relate absolutely zero with their reasoning around AI. It's so fabricated. > While staying true to Google’s iconic four colors, the brighter hues and gradient design symbolize th…

    That was as great reading, thank you. I've a related observation. In my experience the amount of hallucinated urls with structured output (think of a field `url` or `link`) is pret…

    Can you please give any sources? While it sounds plausible and interesting it's nothing more than a wild conspiracy theory without some background information.

    I truly wonder what people do when they want JS full stack both frontend an backend especially with a DB involved. ORM situation looks pretty fragmented or you write pure sql. And …

    I had the same experience, go to layers and there you'll find it under a new section "Explore". Select it to deactivate it.

    Great little story. Thanks! NV is kind of a sentinel value to signal "not visible" and to differentiate it from actual plates isn't it? Only that it comes from external (the office…
