noeatnosleep··on Retro Boy: simple Game Boy emulator written in Rust, can be played on the web
Avid millennial gamer here. Wasn't raised with games. Can someone recommend a good classic game to try?
noeatnosleep··on Cloudflare employee posts layoff call with HR and goes viral [video]
That's above and beyond what most companies do to get you up to speed.

I feel like you meant for this to be a bad thing, but you're literally telling us that CF is better than a lot of other places.

Lots of places just have a google drive folder (or whatever, at scale) and you're expected to show up to meetings and pretend you're not confused.

noeatnosleep··on Reddit plans to ask users to vote out protesting mods
There's a bunch of them that aren't. They'll be the new guard when the protestors are booted, plus Reddit has a core of paid moderators that they call on occasionally for events and special programs.

dLinks lets you build a decentralized profile on Web 3.0 in seconds.

Built using Handshake and Sia: Handshake names are decentralized domains that no one can block access to. Skynet offers decentralized backend hosting that cannot be taken down.

This is exactly why I quit playing as well.
noeatnosleep··on Apple's Round Pizza Box
Theoretically expensive because when you ship a pallet of pizza boxes to a pizza joint, they come in a very compact completely flat stack.
noeatnosleep··on Apple's Round Pizza Box
Why is this interesting? I suppose because it's Apple, and they patented it?

I'm sure they're expensive to produce/store/transport, which is why we've been using flatpack pizza boxes forever.

Shocking!
noeatnosleep··on Top domains by aggregate score on HN from the past year
This is actually much more useful than the OP's list, at least for me. OP's list has a lot of high volume, low score stuff taken into account.

LOL

Until the spammers find out that google values those results and supply you with an endless stream of drivel and trash to wade through.

noeatnosleep··on Gab.com goes down after GoDaddy threatens to pull domain
Do you really believe the reason they're being smeared is that they've cooperated with law enforcement?

I love this statement.

IRCCloud solves everything you just mentioned.

The key is in the clients, not the protocol.

What was the offer?

>What's the down low on IRCv3?

Well, it is, but it's slow. IRCCloud and KiwiIRC both use it, and IRC.com will support it as well. There are some exciting new plans surrounding encrypted voice and video on the Kiwi side, for example.

>doesn't really solve the problems that Discord solves

What specifically? Hard to address that one without more granular discussion points.

>it also doesn't feel like we're making progress towards it

It could be argued that IRC.com is going to be a major step toward more rapid progress, between the foundation funding development, and the likelihood that it will be an enormous network that's V3 compatible.

You should try irccloud. Or one of the many clients that do this.

Huh, I'll have to drop in. I didn't realize efnet had an active #motorcycles channel. I'm in one on freenode and one on snoonet, though.

Heyo, I'm the head of snoonet. LTM provides servers for us, with no asks or meddling.

Andrew is passionate about IRC and has been for a very long time. This is just another outflowing of his vision and gratitude, not some kind of cash grab.

Re: University: It's a 'University' ON IRC, not ABOUT IRC. There will be partnered educators and developers teaching classes about many topics, likely a good portion development focused.

Re: Ventures: This isn't ventures FOR IRC, it's an incubator. The communication, application, and interaction will be centered on IRC, but the ventures will be varied.

The team working on irc.com has extensive experience of IRC communities and networks and will be opening the door to collaborations with others within the IRC environments, whether network operators or ircd developers and seeks to work closely with the wider community on these endeavors.

I know most of the people involved personally, feel free to ask questions if you want!
