I share the same opinion that, just because someone is or wants to be an artist, doesn't mean they deserve to make a living wage out of it. But I'm not a capitalist, far from it. I actually think people shouldn't have to work at all if they don't want to, but we're just not at all there yet.

From experience, this seems to be a very unpopular opinion. Everyone see themselves as hard working, and hate lazy people. But since a few years ago, all of the sudden, and mostly in relation to AI, everyone thinks all artists deserve to make a living. I find this hypocritical.

If you're not providing enough value for others to give you money, that's just how things are, artist or not. Too bad the mediocre work of a machine is good enough. The day the system changes, and it will, will be for everyone, so no one is required to provide value to be able to feed themselves. Artists are not special just for declaring themselves an artist.

Pretty cool! This mission has me very excited, but it didn't even occur to me the I could keep track of all this data about it in real time, so thanks for sharing.

BTW, 90% of the comments being about whether this was made with AI or not (and personal opinions on it) is much MUCH worse than it being made with AI. The lack of downvotes for submissions is not an invitation to bring negativity to the comments; if the submission doesn't provide value to you, just move along. Make another post with your opinions on AI and see how many care to read it.

Pretty cool idea and execution. This is the first weather app I can see myself using instead of whatever my phone or google puts in front of me; but I often need more data, mostly humidity and wind speed and direction. Also rain seems to be a boolean, but precipitation percentages would be much more clear.

Having both the dial and the more common horizontal table / graph would make it the perfect weather app for me. Maybe those could be integrated into the dial, like wavy rings?

In any case, nicely done!

Laws should protect what's beautiful about life. And life is less beautiful when trillion dollar companies abuse the human nature to extract value, damaging society and individuals for the benefit of the very few.

Microsoft Copilot Series OS

Not recommended by whom? Win10 still works perfectly fine, has less bloatware, will be supported for a while, and probably won't get updates that just add useless AI and advertisements.

If someone wants/needs Windows, I would absolutely recommend windows 10 right now, it's probably the best time for using that version.

Safari is still the new IE. Well, not really "new", it has been IE all along. It's the only non-evergreen browser that remains, and I don't get why this isn't mentioned every time Safari is brought up. All of their spec implementations are meaningless when the only version that matters is the one forever stuck in whichever oldest iPhone n% of people still use.

Caniuse is pointless, their new "baseline" score is pointless; as long as enough people keep using their (perfectly fine and working) iPhones after official support stops and as long as they are not allowed to install a different browser (engine), that's the only data point you need to look at when choosing which browser features to use.

If you don't have a dice, you can mentally roll one. Think of a bunch of numbers and add them all together, then add every digit of that number, and so on until you end up with a single digit from 1 to 9. 1, 2 and 3 is rock, 4, 5 and 6 is paper and 7, 8 and 9 is scissors.

For example: 23+42 (or 2+3+4+2 if that's easier for you to do, the result will be the same) = 65 → 6+5 = 11 → 1+1 = 2, rock.

Great to fall asleep, given how boring the game must be. I use that dice system in bed but in a RPG game (1 = "No, and also..."; 2,3,4 = "No"; 5 = "Yes, but..."; 6,7,8 = "Yes"; 9 = "Yes, and also...").

I occasionally play Rust but I've never written a line of Rust, so almost everyday I do a double-take when reading HN. So its pretty amusing to see HN be the one getting mixed up for a change.

Stories of people giving grandma a Linux computer always surprise me.

Zorin in particular was the distro that made me stop using Linux a few years ago, the day I turned on my computer and all of the sudden everything was completely messed up. Took me a long time to recover the DE and get everything back to working condition. Immediately after I went back to Windows for the first time in years, which I don't love, but at least the OS is alway there when I turn the PC on.

How do people give their grandma a Linux pc and never hear from them again? Obviously a catastrophic failure like mine is not normal; and if you need 100% stability for a mission-critical system, I don't doubt you could accomplish it much better with Linux than Windows, but that's not by default. Do you disable automatic updates on grandma's PC?

I opened my HN client and saw multiple posts at the top of the home page about this datastar thing, with comments like yours either very aggressively defending it or praising it as the best thing since bread.

Did you forget one of those "full disclosure" thingies at the top of your comment?

In any case, I didn't see anything interesting about it, even less so after reading OP's useful comment on the pricing, but even if I did I would never intentionally use or give money to a company that does astroturfing campaigns.

I use feedly because it's where I landed after GReader; I don't love it, but it has worked continually without bothering me enough to think about it.

But one day I want to look into alternatives, and the number one thing in my wishlist is to be able to scrap sites that crop the full article in the feed. Going from the RSS client to the browser to the reader mode in the browser is such an absurd friction.

Edit: Well, after 12 years, that day ended up being today. I found a client called FeedMe that syncs with Feedly and can load the full article inside the client. It also has some other features that I was looking for, like filters. There might be more clients like that, but this is the first I found. I shouldn't have been so lazy all this time.

Not OP, but I use vertical tabs with Vivaldi.

Pretty happy with it; I tried basically all browsers out there, fully switching to them for some time even if I didn't even like them, and after all that time I found Vivaldi the best overall browser right now (for me).

Selecting a link's text is secondary to opening it, so it makes sense that it takes a less direct action to do it. At least on Windows, just hold the "ALT" key to select without a click registering; not so bad, although intuition tells me most people don't know about it.

Repeating the last line of dialogue is not just a way to indicate that there's no more dialog, it often also works as a remainder, giving you the most important kernel of information ("You should go to [place] and talk with [npc]"), in case you come some time later and forgot what you were supposed to do. You can indicate there's no more dialog in many ways, but you'd lose that secondary feature. Same thing if the NPC just keeps babbling generated drivel.

As I understand, this case is not about training but about illegitimately sourcing the books, so unless you sell your books at $3k per copy, I don't see how it is fair.

Which is great for beginners, and for anyone who couldn't care less about managing a server. You can get a shared hosting for literally less than peanuts and it will come with php support and a SQL database.

Back in the day I had one of those, even when I was broke, because the value was fantastic. There were tons of "self-hosted" type apps built with that stack (php+mysql), so you could have all sorts of apps running on there. I haven't checked in a while, but I guess nowadays that type of thing will be made for node, docker, etc.

In the endless framework wars where one day we are friends with server side rendering, the next with client side rendering and the next with eurasia, I keep seeing people reinventing what we already were doing with PHP long ago. I doubt it will happen, but I keep waiting for a PHP renaissance.

The idea that every illegitimate copy is a lost sale is old and tired. Most people wouldn't mind enjoying plenty of entertainment products that would otherwise never pay for (regardless of whether a free alternative exists or not).

Since you talk about game developers, just today was "Hollow Knight: Silksong" released, a game with no DRM (which means it will be on every pirate site the minute it releases, something that was known beforehand), and had just a few hours later over half a million concurrent players on Steam, one of the many storefronts where the game is available.

No industry has ever been killed by piracy, not even close, and the cases of musicians, authors, and game developers who have attributed piracy to their success keeps piling up. I really don't get why people who in other aspects of life try to look at the facts of things keep arguing so fervently about something proven to be, at best, a net positive and, at worst, a way for more people to enjoy arts and entertainment that they would never had otherwise.

If you don't get money for your works, you might be unlucky, or you might just not be good enough to make what people want [to pay for]. As a game developer myself, that's certainly my case. I hope to one day make something so many people care about, that they go out of their way to pirate it, because statistically that means I'd sell a lot of copies.

YouTube, very surprisingly, does offer RSS feeds (for now).

There's another "Jukebox" [1] that's been doing apparently the same thing for many years, in there a connection there, or just the same name (and function)?

Can't recommend "DeArrow" browser extension enough. YouTube is a miserable experience without it (and its sister extension SponsorBlock).

Very nice, I'm saving it! The red palette looks extremely pink on my screen though.

Btw, I miss reading the socii dev blog, I was working on something similar at the time and I found your posts super interesting. What happend with socii? Are you still working on it?

I'm sadly into the incremental game genre. Universal Paperclips is still my favourite, and I replay it often. A Dark Room is another really good one with some storytelling and an ending, which is not all that common in incremental games.

But if anyone wants to get deep into it, Dodecadragons is probably the best implementation of the incremental mechanics, but it's extremely addictive, so be careful with it.

Cool game. I'm very interested in making web games in vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, so I'll take a better look at it when I have some time.

BTW, you might be breaking the Geneva Convention by using the red cross for the medkits.

I don't think "early" really matters, but consistency has been the key for me.

I used to set an alarm every night in bed for 7-8 hours later, relative to whatever random time I was getting in bed. For years the only advice I ever heard in terms of sleep quality was "getting a good 7-8 hours", so this led to years of awful sleep.

Now, I set an alarm once and don't ever touch it again. It goes off every day of the week, weekends and all, everyday at the same time. And it's been one of the biggest and most directly noticeable changes I've ever done for my routine and wellbeing. Sure, sometimes I go to bed late and I don't get my 7-8 hours, but for the first time since I was a kid I feel sleepy at night and it doesn't take 1+ hours in bed to fall asleep.

If anyone reading is in the same situation I was, please try it. Even of you usually wake up late, even at noon or later, just wake up at the same "late" hour everyday. "Early" doesn't matter. But after a while you can make small 15-30 minute changes in the wake-up time every month to two months or so, if you wanna start waking up earlier. If you still have trouble falling asleep, even some light exercise like a light walk around the block, helps a lot, particularly if you spent the day sitting.

Maybe this is super obvious for most people, but it wasn't for me, so it might be helpful for someone else.

Positioning is already a huge part of the game, and every wall, corner and box to duck behind has a strategic purpose that one must be aware of, just not based on lighting but geometry and game strategy. So adding a whole other mechanic to it wouldn't be interesting.

Yes, but they have vowed to maintain manifest V2 support, at least until it becomes unfeasible. It also comes with its own ad blocker.

Then again, Brave is an advertisement company, same as Google. And the CEO is Brendan Eich, notorious for two very evil and despicable things: being homophobic and creating JavaScript.

I'm not the person you asked, but I could have written the exact same comment. For me, SSB and chromium's much better profile functionality are the biggest hurdles when trying to move to Firefox or a Firefox-based browser.

I also encounter way too many bugs and weird behaviours in Firefox web dev tools. I hate chromium dev tools too, but I find it a more consistent bad experience.

The closest I've been to fully switching has been Zen browser. The ability to completely hide the browser's UI so you only see it when hovering is almost good enough to forget all other issues I got with Firefox. That "focus mode", vertical tabs, and side-panels, are the best UI elements to come to browsers since tabs, and I hope and expect all browsers copy them soon enough.

Oh wow, I didn't know artifacts were shareable, and you can even take it to your own conversation to keep tinkering with it. I'm gonna have fun with this, thanks!

I didn't mind it, it inspired me. I've always wanted to play with doing something like that, but I've always found it difficult to work with sound and music; and even though I use AI for tons of stuff it never occurred to me that I could also use it to help me out with that. That said, +1 to sharing a link to cool things even if they are half broken, if you think it's cool chances are someone else also will.
