That was later. Initially, you could post to Twitter by sending an SMS message. No scripts to load, no tracking of what you were doing.

I clicked on All Collections, searched for an icon and found a few, but then I wanted to view other icons in it's collection. I don't see a way to do that, or even figure out that icon's source. Also, the "Search Icons" box is cleared when I move between collections. No (obvious?) way to sort the collections by the number of icons.

Just an reminder: ChatGPT does a great job of rephrasing things to make them unique.

I’ve got to ask, which other Wi-Fi mapping provider requires a SSID suffix to opt out? Is it one of the big boys or is it someone like wigle.net or openwifimap.net?

Hey! I own a copy of that, although I’m not sure where it is. A great fun read. I think I’ll download and read it again.

Have you heard of Wik? https://wik.netlify.app/#Home I just discovered it a couple of months ago and have been using it every day since. It stores everything in your web browser’s LocalStorage. The downside is that every web browser you use has independent data. This also means that backing up your data is entirely on you. However, it is fairly simple to download the entire database and back it up some place. I keep meaning to write a script to merge different instances, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Needs tags! For example, names of people and TV shows, indoor/outdoor, skyline/landscape, etc.

I just keep my car unlocked 24 seven and don’t leave anything in it that I would resent having to replace.

Do you know about curl/wget? Each one does pretty much the same thing as the other, but you can start a religious war by suggesting that one is preferable.

Anyway, either of them will let you mirror a website so you never have to worry about it going down.

Visited the site, dismissed the pop-up, scrolled to the bottom, saw that every book had just one mention. Wound up spending more time reading comments and looking at the list, don't think I'll return as the biggest problems do not seem fixable. You are using Amazon links as a substitute for actual linguistic processing to parse out book names. It may be possible to use the links to prime the pump by creating a list of titles, then re-scanning all comments for closer approximations of those titles but I don't know the fesability of that.

Given the way that people like to pull quotes out of context, writing something as a series of tweets forces you to look at each piece and see if it can stand alone.

The TL;DR was TL;DR. Ho, seriously. About halfway through, the buzzwords and jargon got to be too much for me. Let me know if there's anything interesting Wining.

1) I really like this! 2) How to make it better: Design your own quick-and-dirty logo. 2a) Upload a photo. 2b) Apply a filter. 2c) Overlay a simple icon. 2d) Bonus: combine filter and icon to create a favicon!

Rats! When I read the headline, I thought the article would be about a proposal to encrypt the statistics generated by web servers.

Think that it is fine just the way it is. A "programming language for musicians" could just as easily be BASIC or something, while a "music programming language" could be aimed exclusively at computer scientists.

I have to agree with pavlov and say that while I sympathize with your situation, I can't say I'm surprised. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: You have decided to rewrite everything from scratch. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html

I'm changing the world everyday. I've got a stable job that allows my wife to homeschool our three kids.

Please sign my petition to prosecute James R. Clapper Jr., director of national intelligence, for perjury in his denial of spying on Americans. http://wh.gov/l3gRA

I only played it a bit, but it seems interesting enough that I may return to it this weekend. Even with the "hint" in the other comment about the movement, it was still confusing the first time i saw it.

One more instance of The Law Of The Too Solid Goof: In any collection of data, the figures that are obviously correct beyond all need of checking contain the errors. Corollary 1: No one you ask for help will see the error either. Corollary 2: Any nagging intruder, who stops by with unsought advice, will spot it immediately.

I signed, and posted on Facebook the following reason to do so: "Go sign this, if you haven't already. The description fits a lot of prosecutors, but this seems as good a place as any to start cleaning up." The job of a prosecutor is to prosecute, and if they aren't careful, they fall victim to the Iron Law of Bureaucracy (http://www.google.com/search?q=Iron+Law+of+Bureaucracy). Max Weber (1864–1920), a believer in the efficiency of bureaucracies, would also have a agreed with Pournelle; Wikipedia phrases it thusly: "Weber also saw it as a threat to individual freedoms, and the ongoing bureaucratization as leading to a "polar night of icy darkness", in which increasing rationalization of human life traps individuals in the aforementioned "iron cage" of bureaucratic, rule-based, rational control. In order to counteract bureaucrats, the system needs entrepreneurs and politicians." That's what this petition is all about. It's a warning to the politicians that the prosecutorial bureaucracy has gone too far.

I love this! The only missing is a mini-player theme, like this Chrome app mock-up: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9196433/news.ycombinator.com/ghostl... Clicking on the album cover would pop-up all of the album specific stuff, clicking on the (i) would give you all the "static" stuff.

I love white on black when I'd actually using a product, but I really prefer black on white when I'm taking a screenshot (such as the illustration in the article). I think the issue is the non-linear response of the human eye to illumination. Screenshots tend to get rescaled to make them fit on a page, and this generally causes white-on-black to become (to the eye) dark-gray-on-black. Black-on-white, when rescaled, becomes (to the eye) dark-gray-on-white, which has better contrast.

In summary, I want it super-easy for me to reverse or otherwise change my theme when I'm taking a screenshot, perhaps even embedding it into the application.

I like Perl's other version:

  perl -p file.txt

Why, oh why, is the most important text obfuscated in an image? I wanted to pass this on to a friend who's just had a baby, copying the "How it works" paragraph into the email. But there's no text, it's a JPEG! There's not even any ALT text, which means that my visually impaired friend won't be able to use her screen reader on your main page. Don't use JPEGs for text!
