That is how I imagined it. It felt there must have been some human element. I appreciate your effort.

Initially I thought I would feel cheated and the solution must require knowledge of some obscure scrabble player only words. I was pleased the solutions felt honest. For that reason I don't think you should offer an option to give up and reveal the answers.

How is the puzzle generation? can you fully automate generating good puzzles or do you tune them by hand?

I really enjoyed this, and hope to continue doing so.

I with the Underhanded C Contest would come back, it was far more interesting to me. No disrespect intended to the Obfuscated C competitors.

With 250k weekly downloads. That is no joke.

It's not government mandated. It's a defacto requirement as all commercial broadcasters require it but that their commercial choice not government.

What's actually illegal in law to broadcast is very different from what you practically cant due to the theoretically voluntary codes. Even that guidance is broad but hard to argue with "Advertisements must contain nothing that could cause physical, mental, moral or social harm to persons under the age of 18." No reasonable person would argue you should be allowed to do that.

Is this just to lock out the cheap clones?

China has also just launched a megawatt scale wind generator a the helium-lifted balloon, the S2000 , they have active thorium rector the TMSR-LF1 and GW/h Vandium flow battery. The scale , speed and breadth of what they are doing is incredible and I think missed my people

In that case it like someone controlling the DNS records for a banned site could cause some mischief

How is a company like mintlify getting so many big name customers for what appears to be a static site generator + hosting? Is there some secret sauce I'm missing, what is the value proposition?

It's not clear if you need it on both ends to get an advantage?

There's a whole industry of people selling solutions to WordPress's failings, all of whom have strong incentives for it not be properly improved.

A bit like psDooM

I always assumed high end CCTV cameras already did something like this?

web search too is off by default

H100's can be $2 and hour, so $192 an hour for the full cluster. They report 22k tokens per second, so ~ 80 million an hour, thats $16 an hour at $0.2 per million. Maybe a bit more for input tokens, but it seems a long way off.

What is obnoxious is that certificate transparency logs mean that you now have to effectively centrally register any new domain you put online. That means you instantly see a whole load of traffic to your domain from bots, scrapers, beg bounty scanners etc. Any new site has to be designed to handle that baseline of traffic.

I understand the point of CTL's and it's necessary given that every browser and device is configured to trust CA's that you wouldn't actually trust. It's had awful side effects for people who want to host low traffic sites, or fly under the radar for whatever reason.

Two problem with offering usage limits is the real limit you could offer if all users hit it, is low. The users with usage far below the limits feel they are getting a bad deal, compared to if they can't see the limits and they don't hit them, they feel they have "unlimited!".

Are they going to be able to maintain the volunteer team who curate the catalogue? Currently a fair amount of work goes into making sure that hosted packages do not contain malware and also add value in that they don't replicate the features of existing packages. This workload has increased recently with AI generated submissions.

From their statement "Our engineering teams have been working on and testing a fix for number of weeks". Can you image if a database was knowingly left unsecured for that long with data that sensitive and seemingly without telling anyone. It will be interesting to see how the ICO deal with this.

sqlite provide the sqlite3_rsync command to safely copy databases https://sqlite.org/rsync.html

I've been using sway daily since before it was really stable and recently tried Niri but maybe couldn't get over the muscle memory from sway. I use sway mostly in tabbed mode anyway which gives a similar feel to a scrolling WM but with flexibility to break out to tiles in a different workspace if needed.

What has massively improved my workflow recently is vertical tabs in Firefox. I now have browser tabs I can cycle up and down through on side of my screen, and application tabs I can cycle through left and right at the top. I love it.

<raises hand> .. It really was grim

The middle ground is to rent a GPU VPS as needed. You can get an H100 for $2/h. Not quite the same privacy as fully local offline, but better than a SASS API and good enough for me. Hopefully in a year or three it will truly be cost effective to run something useful locally and then I can switch.

A much better model would be that Spotify split the monthly revenue from each user amongst the artists they listened to that month.

Exactly the same for me. I now just use and old android phone with a broken screen and run scrcpy

It's not mutually exclusive. I work for a web host and there's no way we'd host the kind of stuff NFS host, but dont think that makes me in any way against free speech.

I wonder how it works that they are banned from "routing internet traffic to IP addresses of all services present on the “Piracy Shield”. With a naive approach anyone who controlled the DNS records for a site present on the privacy shield could cause some serious mischief.

What I really want form a bike route planner is a map style that shows smaller roads as you zoom out. When planning a cycling I'm interested in tiny back back roads but they are hidden as soon as I zoom out on any map enough to be useful for route planning.
