Monetization is the easy part, a plugin that adds advertisements, paid subscriptions, or some other form of monetization could easily be made if there was a demand for it.

The real barrier issue is that of network effect. There's simply (almost) no audience, which means there are (almost) no creators, which means there is (almost) no audience.

I've been publishing my videos on my own peertube instance for a while and I really do appreciate it as a platform, but I don't think that the technical aspects of it alone will ever be the key to its potential success.

Even if one thinks we need to bail out the _companies_ to prevent more severe economic collapse, we could still arrest plenty of those who were in charge of these organizations.

At least queryquinton is still around:

At least queryquinton.com is still alive.

If your plumber was doing regular work for you that brought you significant, expensive-to-replace value then you _should_ pay him more.

Rather than outright disabling it, I wish it was a permission the site would have to request.

That way trusted sites that used it responsibly could be given permission, but it could not be used by any random site.

I could definitely see value in filters for "has RSS" and "has recent posts"—maybe even as the default view—but I absolutely agree that this is much less interesting to me without the wider world of interesting, small sites.

I'm pretty sure that NobodyNada knows this, but for pedants out there using Bb instead of A# is specifically a classical European music notation thing.

There's nothing wrong with using A# and plenty of other notations do. For a modern, hacker-y example, tracker notation only uses sharps).

Okay, semantics aside, companies will not make things more repairable if they aren't required to do so.

Corporations will do anything they can get away with. Without consumer-friendly regulation I don't really see why all corporations _wouldn't_ eventually do this type of thing in markets like this.

Ideally build it in away from your house, as others have said, but in terms of actual safety systems:

-get a high quality BMS from a reputable source, it should supports current limits and thermal probes - configure current limits with as much overhead as possible, the less you drive them, the cooler they'll stay - make sure you have sufficient thermal probes inside key points in the pack(s) and that they're configured in the BMS to cut draw - add thermal fuses as well, knowing where to put these is important, too - house the packs so to minimize fire risk and cascading issues, especially if space is not a concern

In the language learning world there are some great tools already for adding content-awareness.

AnkiMorphs[1] will analyze the morphemes in your sentences and, taking into account the interval of each card as a sign of how well you know each one, will re-order your new cards to, ideally, present you with cards that have only one unknown word.

It doesn't do anything to affect the FSRS directly—it only changes the order of new, unlearned cards—but in my experience it's so effective at shrinking the time from new card to stable/mature that I'm not sure how much more it would help to have the FSRS intervals being adjusted in this particular domain.

If you really want to allow for another browser to authenticate a login request, you can at least limit it to sessions coming from the same IP.

That would let you authenticate your desktop browser from an email you opened on your phone if you're on your home network, but without becoming widely exploitable by phishers.

That paper doesn't disprove my point. It indicates ~7% home vacancy, which means the total number of vacant homes is higher than the number of people without homes.

Most expensive homes yes, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of livable homes and apartments that are _empty_ at any given time. Canada has a lot of vacant houses.

They replied to a comment about the bimetalic switch in this cooker with "I thought the circuit that powers the cooking was …".

While both you and they are correct that more modern devices work that way, that's not how this one works.

It's possible that they didn't miss that fact, but their comment reads as being a direct response to the discussion of the control circuit of the first rice cooker.

I'm getting multiple downvotes here. Am I wrong? What am I missing?

I wouldn't have downvoted you for it, but it sounds like you missed this from the article:

While the rice cooked in the inset pot, a bimetallic switch measured the temperature in the external pot.

While more modern rice cookers may use curie point magnetic switches, that's not what the original rice cooker used.

How about a clock?

How would the rice cooker know when to start the clock? It needs to be started only after the water reaches a boil.

I only knew of them because the top-level comment specifically references the financial updates and some of the numbers from them.

I'm not sure if you actually read their previous financial reports, but their expenses were somewhere around $50,000-60,000, that doesn't indicate an inflated dev budget.

If you add up server costs, the cheapest possible accounting and legal services, and any other miscellaneous business costs, it doesn't really leave much of a budget for development.

It's an OS or API emulator, not a computer system emulator. It's a different scope, but still fits the definition of an emulator.

I work for an on-prem cloud provider and while AI is part of the reason we're seeing growing adoption, it's as part of a wider move to data and compute sovereignty.

No, it's like saying "why take a cab where you have to provide the driver so much guidance on driving as to be equal or greater than the effort of driving yourself."

It seems the race is also long-term optimised for humans to win. There are a lot more human competitors (> 10:1 ratio). The prize fund increased by 1000 pounds per year until a human won, no doubt attracting faster and faster athletes in increasing numbers.

I suppose so, but that only gets you so far. If you did a human vs F1 race it wouldn't really matter how many humans were competing or how big the prize pool was, the car would still win every time. :p

You can just use normal markdown format.

For example, if you have your screenshots in a directory in the repo called `docs/images` you can include it with:


They're already available in the Debian repos and probably elsewhere as well.

Have you checked out 8bitbubsy's extremely accurate modern clone of FT2 (and one of Protracker as well)?

Why have hobbies when someone else can do it better?

I don't believe you're correct. It seems like the option that Debian decided on _will_ remove those features for users who are upgrading a package.

Users who already have the keypassxc package will need to explicitly switch packages if they want the full one. That's not the same behaviour as described in my quote comment.

That does allow you to change the default for users installing the packages and while ensuring that users who already have it installed don't lose functionality during an upgrade.
