I found this (super short) episode inspiring, on the same topic: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5n6BYw5VU7cLipoRKE1COU (The Poetic Internet, with Kristoffer Tjalve)

Paradoxes are beautiful!

Oh it's the guy from special.fish and html.energy. I love everything he's up to.

I was. It was a glorious time.

Just came here to say that I love this

Yeah like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UztCDH2xuQ

Was happy to find that the person behind it Sam Lavigne, one of the people behind Stupid Hackathon.

20 year old article? still fantastic content. wow.

I love the simplicity in this statement: "So average risk of death doubles in 8 years."

cheers, will check!

developer/organizer here. hi! arranging a stupid hackathon is almost too easy, and loads of fun. attendees are usually very forgiving and happy, and if something fails it is stupid and therefor on brand. i make them annually in sweden, and this was year no3. fantastic experience.

it just listens for silence and cues some audio files in the background. it works most of the time, but could definately be improved.

hai! developer here. uploaded it this weekend during a hackathon. the permissions are absurd, but my sleepy head couldn't figure out how limit the permissions yo youtube only.

i love this so much

we use the public keys from existing github accounts in our organisation. a little cronjob runs daily on all servers to fetch all keys. http://labs.earthpeople.se/2016/04/controlling-ssh-access-wi...

no idea how secure this is or what implications this could have but it's easy and works well for our use case.

hm it doesn't seem to pick up the wp installation if the WP_CONTENT_DIR is changed. should be an easy fix, se below.

this site is very much wordpress: https://www.berghs.se/ but wpdetective won't detect wordpress at all. it has a custom WP_CONTENT_DIR.

here's a similar but less polished version my team created some years ago: http://wppluginchecker.earthpeople.se/?wordpress-site=https%...

it tries a few common variables for WP_CONTENT_DIR, and runs completely in the browser, should you want to take a peek on how we detect WP.

hi, organizer of swedish stupidhackathon here. i sent an email to the people at stupidhackathon.com. they were super sweet and told us to go for it. so do it - go for it.

what's nice about organizing a stupid hackathon is that it's really easy. if someting doesn't work out you can just shrug your shoulders and say hey that's stupid. like our livestream for instance. i forgot to plug in the microphone so there was no sound. very stupid!

we bought the same horrible door bell to our office. couldn't stand the sound either. hooked it up to a wind chime and slack in a similar way. http://labs.earthpeople.se/2015/01/how-to-make-a-wind-chime-...

love the simplicity, replacing "youtube" in a url for "gifs". very clever.

a new api endpoint for this would be great. any word on that yet?

hi! some constructive criticism.

i love the idea, connecting developer tools via a plugin to the site is genius. this is a very creative way of doing this, and it's perfect.

the user interface on the site is pretty messy though. i've just tried to fetch my first data and it just got to messy to be worth it. it's currently (for me at least) less messy doing this sort of thing manually than clicking around in the interface, and that should give you a hint that the ux needs some work.

will check back in the future though, it looks very promising!

this is such a simple and brilliant idea. thanks for this!

sure! - what lunch is being served in the cafeteria - homework and due dates - private messages from teachers (not the full message, just a notification) - reminders like "bring ice skates"

there are loads of github repos for this, i just grabbed one and was on my way.

the apps support several teams, you're set to go

hi. article author here. the feed url is very long, and parents can disable it entirely. so i guess it's fine.

here's the result in progress: http://interpretthis.tumblr.com

important note: you are not hosting a wordpress blog on s3. you are hosting a static dump of files on s3. move along. nothing to see here.
