Exuma

Do you think humor and intrigue was invented in 2023? The lighthouse is irrelevant. The message in the bottle is relevant. "The world they live in" assuredly had creativity, humor, that could be tapped.

"Nevertheless..." so you basically agree its extremely unexciting? That's the point.

Would you click this post if it said "list creators of lighthouse found on piece of paper inside lighthouse"?

The point of a message in the bottle is that it's to make something legitimately interesting for the person reading (assuming it's not attempting to save a persons life stranded on an island)... Presumably the people doing this entire exercise were aware of that. When you take part in some activity, there is an expected amount of context which you are expected to have awareness of, similar to how when you make a movie, while you CAN kill off the main character in a cliffhanger unsatisfying way, you also have to expect people are going to hate your movie.

The fact that a bunch of engineers thought this was "most interesting" is, in itself not surprising I guess. But people lamenting that they could have done a lot better, is 100% valid.

> You want their world to conform to your idea of what it must feel like to be on a lighthouse for other "lighthouse people"

False. I literally want to read something interesting if I'm pulling a piece of paper out of a 100 year old bottle. There is an entire universe of topics besides a laundry list of names that could be done. They didn't because they thought this was what people 100 years in the future should see. Therefore, the entire experiment of "message in a bottle" is about as boring as it could possibly be. You literally couldn't make it more boring if you tried. Maybe a blank sheet of paper? The fact these names were meaningful to them, and the fact that this is an extremely boring outcome and leave people wanting more, can exist simultaneously.

I will mention the one saving grace is that it was left in the lighthouse

As an analogy, if I found 100 year old bottle in the floorboards of my house, a list of names could be made more interesting with... a photo, what their occupations are... what their favorite hobby or cherished item is, what used to be on the land before our house, what crops used to grow there, how the land was found, what kind of deed purchase it was, where they immigrated from. Literally 1000s of ideas to add detail.

Overreaction to a definitely arguably true statement. You can tell the bitterest basement dwellers when they self-identify by using the word vapid. It's the dead giveaway word.

Yes it is. That is, after all, the entire point of a message in a bottle (unless you're trapped on an island, that is). A fun, whimsical idea so people in some other region or time can get a glimpse of the world you're in. A list of names is extremely unexciting.

The way I do it:

1. make contact@ do several filters: to:*@example.com, mark as read, never mark as spam, forward to teammember1@example.com 2. repeat filter for all people

now, your contact inbox will get all the mail, mark as read. when people reply with their personal email (or leave things unread as a 'todo') it wont interfere with anyone else

Better luck next time Jack!

Yes, you're right lol. Equally as bad. I actually thought it might be that but couldn't quite remember. Imagine trying to ask people for the use case of why they need joins...

Prisma is an absolute joke. I remember hearing so much about it with the hype train, and I looked into it, and it's an absolute catastrophe with a very beautiful homepage. There are GitHub issues where the creator is arguing with people about not supporting foreign key constraints or something, and he didnt understand the use case (cant remember specifics right now, but this is where I immediately noped right out)

Is chrome going to block uBO im never up to date on the latest. I do know theyre allowing 3rd party cookies now... so maybe theres a chance

Make the editor embedded in another app. so I can just parameterize the "builder." I want to have the HTML on my own though so i can actually host the page myself. really I just want some fancy editor that outputs a JSON schema.

I literally almost built this myself twice, and just never got around to it.

Dude. PLEASE MAKE IT EMBEDDED!!!

I need to integrate a "site builder" for a landing page service. I cant use things like the other options out there because they require actually going to the site. It makes it useless where i want a fully self contained "builder" for a number (bunch) of different landing page domains.

Ah I found one helpful URL: https://anthonyhobday.com/sideprojects/saferules/

Looking for more like this. Just extremely practical, not verbose and stupid filler

I like painting, and have always liked emerald green: https://www.winsornewton.com/na/articles/colours/spotlight-o...

I really love the design of this blog

Immediately closed when you require me to connect to github to just run a query without the use of AI.

Im with ya. The OP link is so painfully predictable and 1 dimensional. Its like people are unoriginal, which isn't so bad, but simultaneously dont possess the awareness to realize theyre unoriginal..... so to those who are not unoriginal its all so very tiresome. Oh wow you used swearing to make your point... I wonder how long it took for you to come up with that. I myself love the very much alive-and-dynamic interwebz. I love the creativity. I love the weird. I love javascript. I love the 9000 ways to do things because it always works out in the end and sorts itself out. There's ebbs and flows just like every other thing in life, where things evolve in phases

damn thats really freaking cool

for one i work with GB large files and vd instantly opens them. SCIM it took a lot of painful seconds to open 14mb file

What’s a real world thing or two that this could solve vs writing code

Is that protein isolate different than my isolated whey protein workout shake

I got an amazing one only to find out Zalgo is not supported EXỦMÂ :[

I forgot to mention if you get the griddle (Sorry, i kept calling it a skillet before, i meant this one: https://fieldcompany.com/collections/cast-iron-griddles/prod...)

If anyone gets that.... cook some smash burgers in it and it gets the best seasoning ive ever seen, very quickly.

Hmm i very strongly disagree. It was immediately apparent to me even on the first cook how vastly superior the surface was to any standard Lodge or whatever. Nothing wrong with Lodge, I have those too, but I was very surprised. TBH i wasnt really expecting much, my expectations were very low when I got it on a whim as I kept hearing people rave about it.

The seasoning over time is also vastly superior because of these tiny grooves. I buy the skillet one as a gift for people and its pretty much unanimous that it's their favorite.

Not trying to hype, its just legitimately one of my favorite pans

Small plug of company I love (not paid or anything). Field skillet is literally the best cast iron I’ve ever used. Their skillet size is truly sublime for breakfast stuff and smash burgers

While I agree it’s painful, I’ve seen examples of ai reproducing exact bastardized versions of famous instagram digital artists. You can clearly see where it learned from it and it’s extremely obvious, not in the sense of one who could say “oh yes I was inspired by this” but a literal 1:1 copy that has the drunken haze of melted ai nonsense over top. In this respect I was like damn … that may piss me off.

I tried this in a raytracter today while learning rust and it made the scene render all white. Lol

I love this landing page, excellent work. Steps me through lots of examples with clean and efficient writing. Nice work!

Edit: i just bought it

Or neovim … cellular automaton

Damn... that makes Kagi way less exciting. I thought they had some secret sauce. It's just a paid wrapper WTF

Hmm... really? They don't do their own crawling and indexing? How does one simply repurpose google's index... just technically or business speaking?

How would they crush kagi
