I find it incredible how this article has no mention of Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson, Second Life or Linden Labs.

Very useful info. Thanks!

Hi Jake! (I watch your videos ;)) Many times, the (Angular) ServiceWorker has given us CORS headaches on various requests to our APIs and AWS storage files. The only method we've found, after various AWS configs and ngsw-config.json attempts, was to add `ngsw-bypass=true` to all requests. I'll see if I can find the Github issue, where this has come up before.

Incidentally, while you're here, I'm planning on building something which will require use of SharedArrayBuffer. Will adding the (now) required Cross-Origin isolation COOP/COEP headers cause any issues to existing CORS setups?

:)

ServiceWorkers also don't play nice with CORS in my experience. We often need to bypass them in Angular when making certain requests.

You can catch the 'invalidity' of the input with the `oninvalid` JS event, then use that to `e.preventDefault()` and show a message as to why it it failed.

Here's the guy who wrote the original Windows Task Manager explaining this hack : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKQ1X_4JCn0

Doesn't the HTML input `pattern` attribute help solve this with a RegEx?

Here too. Just had the "We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry!" error.

Indeed. People seem to forget that when Facebook goes down, it's not just your feed of depressing posts, photos and messages that go away, but also the entire Oculus VR platform, since they demanded a FB account to use Quest headsets.

Recently I've seen an increase in recommended videos which already have a red line across the bottom of the thumbnail, to denote that I've already watched it.

Here's an interesting article on where and why they get commonly used in legal documents and contracts.

There are also theories out there about why our names appear in all-caps on government documents, relating to the concept of treating an individual as a 'corporation'.

Thank you. That's got some much better photos. I have to say, I wasn't that convinced by the one used in the Smithsonian article.

The walmart-corp.com email used in the 'press release' was registered last month at namecheap (who have now deactivated the account).

I'm still in the 'feels good' stage with meticulously modelling the types of data I use in Angular with Typescript.

Initially, I couldn't really see the point, but if anything I find it helps with catching errors and response expectations before build-time and also auto-completion/pseudo-documentation/hinting in VSCode.

Now, I love it.

Bingo.

At least this is up-front from the beginning, unlike what they did with the Oculus Quest. Though, I daresay many people won't realise this is the case until they get a pair and set them up.

Like they eventually did with thhe Oculus Quest, are these going to need a Facebook account to get any use from them?

Despite the current https certificate issue, this is also a great introduction to Haskell.

Ah I see.

I remember when YouTube had quite a short cap on length years ago (10-15 minutes iirc), which is why I started using vimeo at the time.

Wow. Thank you. I had no idea about that. I had assumed it would be much, much shorter.

Their recommendation algorithm is reportedly the envy of many other platforms. I heard that was pretty much what was being bid for at the time offers started floating around.

"YouTube still leads TikTok in overall time spent..."

What's the longest length video that TikTok supports? (I don't use it)

I came across this too. Really nice idea.

I think countries are more likely to eventually all have their own 'native' coin.

I build all the components and get them working with mostly 'vanilla' styling. Then he brands/styles any he needs to by simply editing the .html and .scss files.

He has no idea about how the TypeScript/JavaScript files work. He doesn't really have to touch them, unless to maybe see what extra data the component model contains if he wanted to dig deeper and display other things.

That's right. It only read from the pink ones.

This is exactly why I prefer Angular to React.

Our designer wouldn't have been able to deal with HTML markup within the JS files in React. Having the HTML and (S)CSS separated out made life much easier for him in Angular.

(edit: Naturally downvoted due to being slightly critical of React on HN. Which happens every time.)

The friend/colleague I built it for had been given it for some other unrelated job he had done. So, I asked for it ;)

Ours was called "Cybinky". After our old (late) cat "Binky".

I seem to recall there being some activity around creating certain 'dances' etc. for it to perform. Though I can't remember how "offical" or "open" it was. Knowing Sony's MO at the time, probably not that much.

Also, everything had to be stored on the Sony Memory Sticks. (And I seem to remember they too had to be a special type. Not 'Duo' though.)

I still have my ERS-220. Given it in lieu of payment for a website I did years ago.
