I have used namecheap as my first and only registrar since I made my first website in 2013. Those free .me domains in the GitHub student pack paid off for you guys in my case.

Always had great service, including quick resolution when I tried to register .id shortly after they allowed international registration (and encountered a few speedbumps).

Thanks for the good work!

This is cool!

I created another page that is more UNIX terminal-like over at https://jetholt.com/terminal/ that you might like too. It's a lot more like the framework that you created.

There's a preponderance of Tech people who create terminal-like projects, so I think that we replicate it purely because we see it so much every day, and to relive the feelings that we had when we first started seeing the power and beauty in these things.

From my personal experience, people are more likely to read and share threads for a number of reasons:

* They don't have to go off platform.

* the base tweet can be much more eye catching that a link, even with social cards set up

* People may be desensitised to links that lead off-platform, because that's how Ads generally appear on Twitter

Then there are other advantages, like the fact that it tends to encourage you to write in a concise and direct way, with each tweet in the thread being like a bullet point. I often see people retweeting and engaging with a specific tweet from the thread; it's harder (relative term) to do that with a section from a blog post.

Presumably because with the current Pandemic, a lot of people don't know when they will travel next, so can't really pick a date to book.

The intent here seems to be to ensure that your favourite family-owned chalet can weather the pandemic without you necessariliy going there any time soon.

A very interesting article, and it highlights an attack vector that I wasn't aware of. So, thanks for publishing!

One thing the article lacks - it talks about (and even recommends) being able to pick a different passphrase, but offers no guidance for how someone might go about doing that.

I looked, but couldn't see anything. Not in Chrome, not in passwords.google.com, not in Android.

Whilst the work you're doing is commendable, it feels like the complete opposite of the whimsical website.

The whimsical website club aims to "showcase how a more personal web could look", and highlights the weird, unique, and non-traditional things about these creative's websites. The whole idea is about moving away from corporate boringness.

Waveguide, meanwhile, seems to be covering very 'corporate' UX patterns that could (and should?) be used in the business world.

Those things seem completely different and at odds with each other, so I'm not really sure why you think waveguide is related (other than wanting to self-promote for it's own sake?).

It's convenient right up to the point where I need to get back into an account but forgot if I used it or not - which is exactly the point of the parent.

I too have struggled to remember which third party sign-on I used (or if I used a native sign in), so now I avoid them every time, too.

They're literally only convenient if I want to have an account that I'm happy to 'throw away' or, to accidentally create duplicate accounts for the service.

For anything where I'm actually paying, they're a nightmare. Oh, did I sign into this with one of my google accounts? Was I crazy enough to use facebook? Or which of my emails did I use?

The trick is because the shade of grey DOES have chroma. You can't just apply any autochrome panel to the image (unlike what the OP is trying to do with Rainbow), instead, the negative is generated using the chrominance filter

Imagine that each grain is blocking a 'pixel' of the negative. For simplicity of this explanation, I'll pretend the grains are red, green, and blue. If there's a blue grain, only blue light can get through, and thus the luminance is baked in specific to the amount of blue in that region. The same is true for the red, and the green.

Thus, each 'pixel' of the negative isn't determining a monochromatic luminosity (ie black and white), but instead telling the luminosity of a single channel of red, green, or blue.

When the grain filter and the developed negative are combined, we get natural colour. The same filter is used for generation and display.

Another way to think of it is like this: Each pixel on our screen is actually 3 subpixels, each defining red, green, and blue, and we format our image to alternate between telling the red, green, and blue channels how bright to be. This is doing the same, but the subpixels are distributed randomly because that's much easier to make.

EDIT:

If you organise the grains in a geometric pattern, you get Dufaycolor[1].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dufaycolor

Very neat, the outcome probably isn't what you were hoping for, but it has a beautiful and ethereal quality to it. It's like an art piece.

From the photos and video, only a small section of the screen has colour. Does that change as you move around, or is the coloured section static?

Off topic, but the visual effect seen here is a lot like how my memories and dreams feel; only the thing I'm currently focussing on has any colour or detail, whilst everything else is muted and fuzzy.

Hence why I said house/space. I currently live in a single (small) room, too.

Every room has four walls.

My room is dedicated like this:

Northern wall: Desk with laptop. Go here for work/creativity.

Southern wall: My bed is here. Sleep only.

Eastern wall: My worktop is here for cooking.

Western wall: I drag my chair over here when I want to read or watch something.

Floor in the middle: Exercises.

You don't need to have a lot of space to make dedicated spaces. It's more of a mental thing.

I'm doing well. Ironically I think I'm doing better now than I would have been if the pandemic didn't happen; but still not in a particularly good position. Optimistic, though!

If you're struggling, it's probably because the systems that you put in place at the start of the pandemic have broken down. (Kinda like how we eventually forget/give up on New Years Resolutions...)

I'd recommend these[1] two[2] videos from CGP Grey to help. The first talks about the kind of things that you might be doing that are making you miserable, and the second about specific ways in which we can cope with the pandemic (and specifically a lockdown, if you are still in one).

Brief notes:

Avoid doing any of these things:

* Staying still, avoiding exercise

* Having an irregular sleep schedule

* Maximizing screen time; going to sleep looking at your phone, and using it as soon as you wake up

* Encouraging negative emotions, eg: by looking at the news

* Setting unmeasurable or unachievable goals. Waiting for motivation to strike.

* Obsessing over trying to be happy.

* Following your self-destructive impulses

Partition your house/space into the following spaces, and try to obey these rules about the spaces:

* A space for exercise. If you don't have equipment, you can do body weight exercises. If you have access to safe outdoor spaces, make sure to use that too. Make sure you set a minimum amount of time, and stick to it.

* A space for sleep. Do not use your phone here. Do not eat here. Do not linger here. It's just for sleep. If you're failing to sleep, leave and try again later. Setting an alarm to wake up is important to maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. It doesn't matter when you wake up - so long as the time is consistent.

* A recreation zone. Go here to do activities that you actually enjoy. Only do these activities if you intend to give them your full attention. Keep an eye on the quality of the recreation, and make sure you set a maximum time limit.

* A creation zone. Somewhere to work, study, or develop skills. Crafts, coding, cooking. Make sure this space is dedicated; so do not consume entertainment here, do not eat here.
