Why a PDF? The PDF is just pictures of things that link to an external site (Thingverse, various blogs, etc) where you find the actual instructions. The PDF itself doesn't contain instructions at all - just an index/catalog, really.

> didn't sell out while achieving stratospheric success.

Their Keurig "partnership" might suggest otherwise. And it's not just because they've partnered with a huge corporation. But mainly because their coffee company - "Punk Bunny Coffee" - puts a huge emphasis on "sustainability". And while Keurig says sustainability is important, their actions suggest the exact opposite.

They are making this increasingly difficult, though. I bought a Vizio TV years ago that came with a physical remote. At some point the firmware was updated in a way that the physical remote could only perform limited function, and to do anything slightly advanced (changing the input, brightness, things like that) you had to use their app. Which, of course, required connecting to the internet. Obviously this could have been avoided if I hadn't connected it to the internet in the first place and upgraded the firmware. But I didn't have that hindsight at the time. And I think some newer models don't even come with a physical remote. But, lesson learned: I will never even consider buying a Vizio ever again.

Pretty sure that the site itself (the documentation that is linked to) is built with it.

> If a developer has multiple browser apps, only the most downloaded app will be eligible

Then that would imply that only the Safari Technology Preview should be eligible.

> You want to set the language or currency of your app based on the region.

I agree, but the article isn't suggesting that you SHOULD do this, though. It's simply giving it as a possibly use-case that would require location-based logic.

The thing I like about markdown is that it's very readable as just a raw format. With the bonus that it's easily converted to HTML. But it doesn't need to be converted to HTML.

I guess this sort of falls under the "But I hate the syntax" section of the article, but I don't think it quite gets the point. I can look at a Markdown file and read or write it without even really thinking. Which is not really the case with rST (or even HTML, for that matter).

That's looking purely at the headline and a single quote that they chose for it. There is a lot more if you read the actual article.

They make a case that Altman signed documents where it's quite clear the intention is to be able to claw back vested equity. And that quote in the headline isn't meant to try and attribute it directly to Altman -- but to show just how well-known the policy was.

Agreed. And ideally that shouldn't matter. But in the real world there are other consequences and side effects. Maybe I don't want to make them uncomfortable. Maybe I just don't want to deal with the nagging, "busting my chops", or the questions about why I'm not drinking. Maybe I want to avoid some preconceived notions certain people may have about people who don't drink. So even if it's on them, there are still personal reasons I may want to avoid the situation.

There's many occasions where I don't want to drink, but not doing so can make things uncomfortable. It's unfortunate, but there's lots of occasions where abstaining can make other people uncomfortable, or cause them to give you a hard time, or any number of other things. I would love to be able to take something that allows me drink but with none of the side effects, just to avoid potential uncomfortable situations. Again, I'm not condoning the behavior and it's unfortunate that this is how society is sometimes. But it would be nice to have this option.

There's also people who have difficulty controlling their drinking once they start. This would certainly help in those scenarios.

Another example is a situation where a woman may be pregnant so doesn't want to drink, but may not be far enough along that she wants people to know. Not drinking would get people wondering, but drinking could harm the fetus. I don't know if this gel would make drinking safe in that scenario - but if it does, that would be a great situation to use it in.

OP says of nano-web:

> you can inject configuration variables into it at runtime and access them from within your frontend code

Is there a way to do that with BusyBox httpd or the others?

He's spoken up publicly about this. He was called to testify before Congress. He started a non-profit -- The Foundation for Aviation Safety -- to raise awareness about the issue. So it's not like this guy is keeping this to himself. He's actively trying to raise awareness.

Thanks so much, I appreciate that!

I built a site like this for running (https://dressmyrun.com). I've gotten a few requests to make a similar site for cycling. I don't ride much myself so it's a little more difficult for me to judge how it should work. But I keep meaning to at least take a stab at it.

This doesn't seem correct. I checked a few flights I have coming up and it identified a United flight as not being a MAX, when United itself tells me it is. And it identifies a Southwest flight as being a MAX when it isn't.

I'm skeptical that hashtags are really a good way to measure these things. They seem rather arbitrary in some cases (particularly that second link). It seems like it would be pretty easy to selectively choose specific hashtags to give any impression you want.

This site links to Wordnik, which is a great site, but lately I've been using WordHippo to find similar words or narrow in on a word that better fits what I'm describing. The way it groups by meaning is much more convenient. Rhymezone (which does more than rhymes) was my favorite prior to finding WordHippo.

The difference is that you can easily sell Joe Bob's Cola at many other retailers and still reach a huge amount of customers. Your streaming service can use Azure, GCP, or any number of other options. But if you want to distribute your mobile app you are essentially forced to use Google Play and App Store, and you must give Google and Apple their 30% (or whatever percentage it is now) cut.

We can argue that you can distribute your app other ways (at least on Android), but that's not even comparable because of the artificial barriers that are put in place to make that difficult.

You can acknowledge and treat it without "using it as an excuse". And there's certainly no need to define yourself by it. Imagine having that same mindset with other treatable disorders. Cataracts. Eczema. Addison’s disease. Cavities. There's a million examples where most folks wouldn't even consider ignoring - let alone embracing any "quirkiness".

Except that's not quite what's happening here. RealPage sets the price that they "suggest" landlords should pay. The landlords had to accept these prices, or ask for approval if they wanted to charge differently. I don't know how often these requests were approved or even requested, though.

> The research out there found no meaningful difference between both styles (unless there's newer research I haven't seen?) and people keep taunting around how their preferred side is undoubtedly the right one.

Does it, though? I'm not sure the research shows any strong evidence one way or the other. There's a decent review of various studies here, for example: https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/, that seem to indicate no real conclusion.

I actually prefer a web-based tool. I've been using pgweb - and I add it to my Docker Compose for development work so it provides a great, simple, lightweight way to interact with the database while working on a project.

I'd definitely prefer something with a few more features, and have also been surprised there's not a lot of options. Desktop clients definitely have their use, but I like using a web-based tool that I can spin up alongside my project very easily with no config/setup.

That is much more technical and assumes some underlying knowledge about a lot of color terminology. Whereas the article here is geared more toward the "layman", or at least someone that doesn't have a lot of background in color spaces, etc:

> I quickly learned that there’s no way to understand Oklch without at least a working understanding of the difference between gamuts and color spaces.

It doesn't actually have to be lifetime to be well worth it, though. For services with recurring fees there's obviously a break-even point that's simple to calculate. And often you can expect that recurring fee will increase at some point, so that break-even point will often come sooner than expected.

I bought an Emby Premier subscription 8 years ago for $120. You can also pay yearly at $55 dollars. So even if it's not _actually_ a "lifetime" it's been well worth it and pays for itself in a little over two years.

I threw together a quick docker-compose.yml to try this out. For anyone else that wants to spin this up and give it a try locally: https://gist.github.com/joekrill/cc503e21e14f95fefa91acc5f86...

(Though I'm seeing crashes on my Mac M1, which I think is being caused by Prisma)

I've been playing with Kratos for some time now and it's been really great. So glad to see they've finally reached the v1 milestone!

Did Postgres give them permission to use the name? IANAL but seems this would be a violation of their trademark policy, no? https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/trademarks/

Not on iOS, which I believe OP is referring to. On Android you can swipe back. But I just tried this on my iPad and it does not work. For the longest time I never even _noticed_ that "<back" link in the upper-left corner!

OK so it will be _possible_, but will Google, Apple, Microsoft, et al actually implement this functionality? There's really no guarantee of that. I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

If they are so easily verifiable can you provide some citations?
