    the recommendation was what caused the norway problem. it now strongly recommends not to do this, and it says that a Yaml parser should use the core schema unless instructed otherw…

    I tried the playground and got a strange response. I asked for a regex pattern, and the model gave itself a little game-plan, then it wrote the pattern and started to write tests f…

    That new Rhombus language that was featured here recently has an interesting feature where you can use `_` in a function call to act as a "placeholder" for an argument. Essentially…

    ublock Origin already has a feature called "strict blocking" which does the same thing. In fact, the placeholder page that this extension takes you to looks almost exactly the same…

    A project's creator stepping down but having a successor is a strong good sign for the longevity of an open-source project. Whenever I see that transition happen, I think better ab…

    the website is just a blank black page for me no matter how long I wait. clearly that's not what it's supposed to be going by the other comments, so that's a bit disappointing.

    On the few sites I've seen using it so far, it's been a more pleasant (and cuter) experience for me than the captchas I'd probably get otherwise. good work!

    Well my first thought when I saw it was "oh that's a fun little mascot". From a quick look, it appears to be a hobby project, so I like that it's a little playful. I wish little fu…

    It's pretty for sure, but it breaks reader view which I use a lot, so I don't like it. also it requires a lot of unnecessary scrolling to read since the text is broken up so much

    The reason for the shut down is especially sad. it feels so common that the smaller players are disproportionately hurt by acts like this.

    The scariest part for me is that there's essentially no escape from microplastics. If it turns out that they're greatly harmful, what can you really do?

    Why do toothbrushes need to be able to make web connections in the first place? I get that it's for tracking brushing habits, but can't that be done with local connectivity only, l…

    The Wikipedia article listed on the website was deleted as "non-notable". Here's an archive of it though: https://web.archive.org/web/20170708075915/https://en.wikipe...
