I wonder this too about X: when I sundowned my Twitter account when I started seeing 80% "no question literal nazi-posting" by bluechecks on my feed, I unfollowed everyone and kept…

For 3D, the return of in-engine inverse kinematic nodes (SkeletonModifier3D descendants) has been a big deal for me. The old 3.x system was a mess, so it was dropped in 4.0. The co…

For contrast: Chrome, a piece of software which has a huge amount of attackable surface area, and lives in a spot with insane stakes if a vulnerability is found, checks for updates…

For people finding this thread via web search in the future: screen.studio is macOS screen recording software that checks for updates every five minutes. Somehow, that alone is NOT…

I don't know where you're from, but in the US, the average spot I'd be killing time in is surrounded by acres of parking lots and a busy stroad or two. A Tamagotchi or 1980s pocket…

MIT's Living Wage calculator is mentioned in the article. It's a great project. A while back, I toyed with a project which needed to propose/estimate hourly labor prices for a serv…

Yeah: Literally make it illegal for shops to possess the platinum or palladium without documentation of provenance. Unless you're cool with the thefts that are going on, or think a…

Your local cat thief does not have connections overseas. This market only exists because domestic purchasers aren't regulated.

Yeah: No one thinks it's mechanically difficult to remove identifiers. The point is to make such altered parts illegal to buy. Similar to VIN restrictions or handgun signifiers in …

Because COBOL has been replaced with better languages for most purposes. SQL is entrenched. I'd also pick SQL for a greenfield project, because... what else? This says nothing abou…

The SQL language design is more contemporary to COBOL than anything we'd choose to use today. That's not implying that large, successful projects cannot be built upon SQL. We see t…

Thanks for this project. I found SingleFile a year or two ago, and used it to take "HTML Screenshots" of third party sites I could embed in guided walkthroughs with modified/exampl…
