i have no skin in the game and honestly i am wondering how this idea contributes to enshittifying the web more?

this idea just seems like it provides the same content as visiting the site in a different view, like reader mode?

would you be able to elaborate on the, this isn't my field i would be interested to learn an alternative way to talk about all this.

legal tools and also rhetoric that are designed for dealing with this problem of "synthesising something that is identical to an existing thing"

If there is not a mapping to some sort of immutable handle, i imagine some sort of announcement in the timeline(example.com has changed their handle to example.xyz) and a history in their profile (handle = example.com 2017 to 2020-01-01. example.xyz 2020-01-01 to now) would cover it

I had not heard this before (not that i am super up on this kind of thing) is this a feature that was announced recently or before the change in ownership?

I wouldn't think Twitter was ever likely to adopt something that will allow it's users to move away and easily keep their followers.

i thought that as well on first watch, the bag seems to jump or suddenly change.

I think, after watching it frame by frame, the bad is being quickly grabbed by the "hands" and over (what looks like, to my untrained eye) 2 frames the bag gets squashed a little.

i think the hand motion is hidden by the arm, the bag is being held in a slightly weird way which makes it change shape unexpectedly and the hand closes very fast (hard?) making the shape change quickly.

it seems like this might be a goal, but i have been using WSL for ages for development and i can't imagine anyone would target user applications at WSL.

with my sample size of 1, if they added any extended functionality to WSL or WSA i wouldn't use it, i use that environment because it mimics the production environment I target, We wont be using WSL in production that would be Linux.

I don't see the use case for running Android on windows except for development and maybe a limited selection of apps. You wouldn't run WSA as a way to get the "locked down" benefits of Andoird on a desktop. Desktops also generally have far more limited sensors and other hardware features. I get Android on a phone because of the form factor, access to NFC, a flashlight, accelerometer sensors and so on Desktop can't have these.

Windows gets by business because of WSL, otherwise i would run Ubuntu or something, but windows is just less hassle for everything that isn't in the CLI (YRMV)

i only have a passing curiosity in these projects personally.

can someone in the field explain why this has exploded recently? there seems to be a lot of these tools released recently (text to image) was there a major breakthrough? a new idea that pushed everyone forward? a recent sharing of talent between groups?

edit: just another thought, are they just being posted to HN now, i don't see a date on the page for when it was released . I also don't know the general term to find a list of all of these to find all the release dates

This 100%, i often find alot of blogs and documentation really difficult to follow because they just show a snippet and no where in the doc does it cover the prerequisites to get to that point.

I get you don't want to clutter the point, but start with a link to working code or an article that explains the basics.

I would be happy if more articles/docs explained how this code is being called.

what is stopping domains registered in the last 30 days from showing?

The site times out for me as well in firefox, but also in curl. i think it is broken

When i first found 12 factor i was really impressed, it was/is a collection of guidelines that suit their defined purpose really well, easy to read and implement.

I always feel like there should be more parts of software/web dev with guidelines like this. An easily digestible format that is easy to discuss with colleagues

other examples i can think. - https://refactoring.guru/ - not exactly a list of guidelines but a nice digestible collection of common patterns, pro's cons and when to/not use them - to a lesser degree, agile manifesto. a nice list of guidelines, but not as implementable (mainly because it is more related to people/management)

but saying that i am not sure exactly what parts of the field i need this for. I didn't know i needed this for building/deploying web apps before i saw 12 factor.

maybe application folder structures, guidelines to mitigate/remove software rot?

I find the amount of polish on the homepage for this project interesting, while the page it self does not have a lot of info, you seem to be all in on the projects communications side.

* Is this a personal passion project? or something you plan to monetize? * Are you using the discord/sub reddit for motivation? or as a precursor to moving to a paid model, with patron as a way to test the waters on commercial interest?

Amazingly obvious concept, love it. I feel i could use this in my personal life.

Just wondering, i know it isn't the point, but does this exist as a service? For example is there a web service where my sales dept could add all the steps and it just goes through them one by one, but can include a start/completed webhooks.

I laughed at this, but this joke is probably out of date now.

In Australia, at least, every venue (restaurant, shop, indoor place you spend more then 5 minutes in) has a QR code that links to a form to add your name/email for contact tracing.

I guess the alternative is a book and pen and the front (which places have as backups) but it would be interesting to if all these QR codes everywhere have introduced many security issues or how much easier it actually made contact tracing vs the book.

why do you think that would have killed OSS from day 1? do you think people would only continue if the make some cash right away?

i feel like most smaller maintainers do it for fun/cool factor and if they get something from it then its a bonus.

i guess we could look at youTube as a model there, i think most creators start out doing something they love and only turn into a business when they see it can be sustainable, they have no shortage of creators

At work I use Bitbucket, i use GitHub for personal projects but not for any team based work or any projects at scale.

Just wondering what are the features that make GitHub/GitLab better?

what am i missing?
