Mozilla acquiring an ad company is something of a bad sign though.

Yep, might be the only business savvy move Twitter has made since Musk took over.

Delicious in Dungeon (aka Dungeon Meshi), which is airing on Netflix right now. It’s an excellent show.

Only works if the liquidated assets are worth more than the money spent acquiring them, which usually is not the case.

Yes I’m aware, but the user interface doesn’t make it easy to understand A) why the canvas looks scrambled, and B) how to permit it on a per-site basis.

The technical implementation is fine, it’s just the user workflow that needs fixed.

Surely this is a user experience that could be improved, no? Awesome feature but confusing solution.

Okay what the fuck is wrong with browsers and having the stupidest hotkeys? NO, I would NOT like a shortcut for saving the webpage as html. Please disable ctrl-s by default!

Can’t agree with you more. I’m not a car guy but the stingray has amazing form.

I looked it up and apparently the walls have insulation between the sheets of metal. Still though, I think you have a point.

I’ve got a new idea on how to keep the big bad from being resurrected, just gotta give their corpse a cute little heart piercing! When all the flesh regrows around it, the piece of metal installed there will quickly re-kill them.

Got that cancerous growth removed? Yup, it’s back now!

“Moire” like the Jealiasings

I ran a game server with ~100k registered players and 99% of ban appeals I saw were blatant cheaters claiming that they did nothing wrong. It’s wild.

If you want gun control, the best thing you can do is encourage marginalized communities to get lots of guns. That has always driven gun reform in the past.

Awesome. Would be nice to remove some of those useless options. (Stop trying to make Pocket happen, please)

Delete your account using this one weird trick!

Definitely. Horror story time.

We had an outside contractor bring us some code once that was thousands of lines of Python to do a very simple job. I was perplexed. I dove in to figure out what the problem was, and somehow I was looking at the most Java-esque Python code I could imagine. What’s worse is that he implemented his own “Java style” property getters and setters for all the Python classes, which obviously aren’t needed because you can simply access properties directly. In the end I took an 80 line snippet of his code (which actually did the work we needed), swapped out all the getters and setters, and deleted all the rest.

On the flip side, open source AI (and other tools) make it possible for single indie artists to do more, faster, and (at least in the world of animation), compete with the bigger studios out there.

My pet peeve is when companies add extra complexity to their products for very little benefit, or like this, actually make it worse. In this case they could have done nothing and the product would have been better for it.
