When I got to the 1M LOC I involuntarily paused feeling like this must be satire.

Ok, I think it's time for me to finally build a controller PWA with websocket/webrtc so I can play games in the browser with my phone.
Intrigued to see what a website that doesn't support Chrome has to offer.
The amount of functionality an application provides should be the benchmark for the size rather than one's available disk space. I'm sitting on 20TB+ of available storage and anything over 1MB for a simple "Hello World" is excessive.
The low lag part is especially impressive. Here is Wes Bos taking a deeper dive into the intricacies of technologies used to accomplish this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ln-8QM8KhQ
The offering in its current form (https://i.imgur.com/zcmEOhr.png) does not feel truly communal.
What would the cost of allowing random landing page generation be? Alternatively, an examples/showcase page could be useful in presenting the value proposition before potential user commits.
One might say, OP is overREACTing.
It doesn't. Registering a dedicated .com domain is an overkill for this as well.
Whether or not you want to communicate "in the clearest way possible" is a choice.
This is far from "clearest way possible", it's not even in the middle. This choice impedes communication which makes is less useful, by your definition.
But only the author/designer can speak to whether the design was successful in it's aims
I find it difficult to believe that the author's aim was to share a story in such way that's unnecessarily harder to consume, by a large portion of people otherwise interested in their thoughts.
The limitations of this tool are obvious from the author's documentation. Plus, a door lock would prevent this from working, so if you're living in a recent house and have thick door and lock the door, you don't have to worry about this attack vector. It's strongly suggested to also hot glue your USB ports shut for added security.
Interesting read (from HN today) about crawling a quarter billion webpages in 40 hours, for $580, over 10 years ago.
Who owns the user-generated content? Would it be feasible to clone Reddit (the site) and populate it with content scraped directly from Reddit? One could potentially even claim the same username by verifying their ownership of it on Reddit. Of course it's not easy but a mass social migration might be more practical than mass segregation in hopes of something else to slowly gaining traction.
It's also possible to use Twilio with their GUI "studio" to create this entire flow. I've used it as call recording system for when I need to record outgoing calls and it's worked wonderfully (and was easy to set up).
I would hire a private investigator to get some dirt on the bullies' families and then have my kid ready with a response the next time he gets called out for NOT having the latest iPhone - "Well, I might NOT have an iPhone but at least my father doesn't have a second family in Tampa" or "You might think my Android is worse than your iPhone but at least my parents didn't need to remortgage the house two times to afford it" or "Maybe your sister can get me one then with all that OnlyFans money she's making?"
I am certain this would get the right kind of attention from the bully's parents the second little Johny makes dinner talk the most uncomfortable day in HIS family's life.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "happens only in different timezones?" It sounds like an interesting bug to identify.
Hey, you can shoot me an e-mail to cleancoder@416tech.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!
I'm working on a project around this but am a developer and not a business/sales person so I'm actively looking for a partner/co-founder. The NFT part is not at the core of it but exists as ownership and authenticity validation mechanism, which if you consider the actual app is a tremendously valid use case. How can I find a co-founder to help drive this to market?
Is the dark theme the only way to read this page? The contrast between white-background graphics and the surrounding (forced) dark theme makes it difficult to consume. I'm all for dark themes but in the absence of theme toggle controls it's fair to assume black text on white background is preferred as most browser extensions (i.e. DarkReader) will enable the option to view it in dark mode but they lack the inverse capabilities.
My initial thought to "self-organizing and self-assembling" was "so, reproduction?" Followed by a similar this-seems-obvious revelation!
I want to ask "does this really need its own domain" but can't figure out which of my multiple personalities is behind it.
Have you tried clicking on it?
If it required JS it would not be a bug in Windows HTML component.
I fully understand the way forks work - what I found troubling is that for somebody who is dying to do something interesting, for close to no pay, there seems to be little indication of them doing things out of pure passion/interest as is. For somebody expecting me to hand pick things that are super fun to work on there is not enough incentive/conviction for me to trust this person and/or invest any time into onboarding/managing them. That's literally why you get paid "the big bucks" - the employer can demand specific things without having to depend on your mood and attitude towards task A.
The only thing I can suggest to the author is what others have already said - go in to academia/research and volunteer your time to selected interests.
One scenario in which the author's attitude and desires could work is if he starts his own business and focuses on the fun things while paying others to do the boring stuff. But then again - building a successful business to achieve the luxury of total choice takes a lot of "boring" work beforehand.
I am most curious about the "no technical interview" part and "my work speaks for my skills" while OP's GitHub is just forks.
This all really reads in an uncomfortable way and I would never risk investing into somebody by guessing if whatever I need done, as a business, will be interesting enough for this person to put genuine effort into.
I feel like OP needs hobbies to get the fun/interesting itch scratched and then go back to being a "code monkey" like the rest of us, doing "boring" stuff to pay the bills.
I've been there myself before and the most valuable lesson I've learned is that motivation != discipline. Motivation comes and goes and if you base your productivity solely on that you will burn out. Being disciplined though allows to get the "boring" out of the way first, leaving lots of time to explore other interests.
The low contrast issue reminded me of an article on how the web became unreadable - I recommend the read.
During my University days I've found out that I feel rested when sleeping for a number of hours divisible by 1.5, or to put it simply, only multiples of 1.5h. So, if I had to take a nap or work super late a 3h "nap" would've left me fresh and ready to work while a 3.5h or 4h nap would turn me into a zombie. I haven't thought of this in a while since it became a habit for me but seeing the 7.5h you mention along with small time changes making big difference it all came back.
Liable for the account being compromised? Twitter. Liable for people sending money? People sending money.
I thought they always required a professionally taken photo? In Canada you need to go to a photographer (lots of malls and general stores have one) to take your photos and then stamp and sign them at the back making them eligible for passport submission.
They still exist and are as good as they used to be! The only caveat these days is downloading 60GB ISO is not as appealing.
