I think it's interesting that most of these were cancelled ages ago. The most recent cancellations seem to be in 2012.

ah I thought it was a reference to "Irish need not apply" phrase from job postings that would discriminate against Irish applicants. This is a less off-putting reference.

They're known for asking odd questions like "how did you perform in math in high school" and "please justify your performance in math in high school". It was actually my guess as well before I read the post.

This would be really cool. With the process of allowing fediverse logins it would be nice to also be able to use lemmy accounts since right now those don't seem to work. (That might be related to the HN hug though I'm not sure).

I can't speak to other fediverse software but I tried a few lemmy servers to no avail. My mastodon instance is under maintenance so I guess I'll have to wait until that's done to sign up.

This is similar to my experience doing a research project for a fellowship. I had a barebones LaTeX file but I pushed doing the proper formatting for when I was finished writing and then had a hell of a time trying to get it all working properly right before the submission date haha.

This project and especially one of the closing notes[1] reminds me of a more mature DIY project to make a mesh node using a simple solar lamp[2]. I love the creativity on display here and I especially appreciate all the links to the other blogs and sites that helped you along the way.

If just using all the same pieces verbatim is a liability then "cobalt vault" would be at risk since after a quick playthrough I haven't run into anything but the original shapes.

My understanding is that the people working on ladybird are compensated for their full time positions, so I would also expect any future positions to be similar.

If we could started teaching Morse Code in standard curriculum then in about 18 years or so we could finally subsidize smart lightbulbs with blinking ads for products and then we could stop selling pesky "dumb" bulbs.

I wasn't aware he was behind the oldest view. That makes me more excited to see this movie because that was really good on what couldn't have been much of a budget to begin with.

Yeah the appeal to me would be the ability to have my desktop experience spread throughout an established home built in minecraft. I think in reality the added friction in a setup like that would be enormous but it's a pleasant thought.

Yep this is how I use HN as well. /new is definitely interesting when I do open it (usually after submitting) but because of the lack of existing discussion I don't usually seek it out day to day. It can definitely be rewarding though to be able to start the discussion on a new submission when it relates to an area of your own expertise though.

I think this would be an okay place to ask about the vouching process since it seems like a big part of the /new sifting system. When I'm browsing on /new as well as on /active (which I browse much more frequently) I'll see dead links that seem like valid posts and that I would enjoy discussing, but I'm a little worried about "over-vouching" so I tend to play it very cautious. Am I overthinking that process? Outside of running it against the guidelines/faq is there a way to see why a post was flagged?

I like the ability to map out the constellations and see how they connect from different angles. I don't think I've seen something like that before.

I guess thats better than being enshittified

I wonder how this would pair with a VR mod. It doesn't seem like Vivecraft supports the version this was posted for at the moment, but if they had the ability to play nice that seems like it would would be a fun way to experience software.

I think it's interesting that this map shows the Sahrawi Republic, that's not a very common feature.

Same here. I also think having multiple front-ends is a good way to demonstrate the flexibility of the engine.

I'm not an expert in this department but I wonder if battery life is a factor here. My Ti-84+ has not fully died once since I was in middle school (as a college graduate now). It can survive an entire year out of use and would still have a usable charge when I would pick it back up for a new math class.

I was one of those requests. I have used 2in1s since college because I like the flexibility in positioning that 2in1s provide that regular laptops rarely or never do. The ability to open them to nearly 180 degrees when I'm using them on a surface that is low relative to me, I also like to hook up a second portable monitor and keyboard/mouse and fold it into a tent shape to provide more room. I use "tablet mode" for reading due to the smaller footprint (this is especially useful on public transit), but with the right desktop (Fedora Gnome for me) the rest of the laptop is relatively comfortable to use in tablet mode as well. When the Framework 12 was announced I immediately snatched one up and it has been excellent so far at all of these.

I will concede, though, that for a regular laptop without 2in1 functionality, I am a little confused at the value proposal. Maybe someone wants a comfortable pinch and zoom experience?

To be clear this doesn't seem to include the actual game, just data surrounding it and the marketing as well.

Just adding for posterity that the RSS feed appears to be functional now

Gmail used to have a lightweight fallback but they shut it down relatively recently (couple of years I think).

This was an incredible read! Especially for what looks like the first post to this blog too? I wanted to subscribe to the RSS feed but unfortunately it gives a 404 error.

I tried to install a quick VM to answer this exact question but I had some difficult getting it running in Gnome Boxes.

Only if you turn it on for the whole screen at all times, and you are still getting a privacy screen out of it so its not a loss with no benefits.

Under the hood, the foundations for web filtering support has also been added — a backend service that can enforce content filters for child accounts once the user interface is completed in future updates, allowing age‑appropriate web restrictions without breaking web security or relying on curated lists.

I wonder if this is specific to Epiphany or if it's across the board for the user. If it's just for epiphany I think it's interesting that it would be one of the first "advantages" to using it over firefox or some other browser, at least for your children. Until now as far as I'm aware it has just been a pretty, though unfortunately rough performance-wise, browser with limited extension support.

Edit: Also this might play into the looming age verification laws spreading around the world

This is the first I've heard about this! I have always slightly missed the authority Control-Alt-Delete seemed to have on windows and this does seem to be a good (maybe better) alternative.
