So private jets can no longer offer high speed internet to their customers. That’s so sad.
Re:I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has ignited a passion again on Saturday March 07, 2026 @06:57AM (#47286830)
Please think further than just the passion of code, mind implication of your projects and what you work on, in particular in regards to climate change and energy crisis. Coding, like any other form of engineering, cannot be done just for self interest and without ethics or conscience.

UberEats uses Tiktok ads to promote their product, this is used to track conversions.

I missed the part where this is shocking.

I wouldn't pay anything if I were this guy.

He has the advantage of holding the balance in his account, and this matter doesn't stick in front of any court. So good luck to QAW to see the color of this money.

Re:I Add 3-25 Seconds of Latency to Every Site I Visit on Thursday February 13, 2020 @03:12PM (#22321023)
I ran a website for youngsters several years ago. One of the duties to maintain it was to moderate discussion boards. Some kids were difficult to manage and would not accept to be banned (via email/IP/or whatever solution) and would keep recreating profiles.

Ultimately I dealt with those ppl by “greylisting” them. Added a sleep() prior each page rendering of 5 to 25 secs (actually it was more sophisticated and would stream chunks over TCP so the slowness feeling was even more real).

Worked like a charm. Few days after the recalcitrant would no longer come on the website.

I called this “moderation by degradation of user experience”, and was pretty effective like the solution described in your post.

Think about page load if you need to restrain visits.

We are developing an on-demand staffing platform, focussed on hospitality and delivery businesses (but virtually open to any markets). We basically connect workers and businesses on a temporary basis so they can take temp. jobs. We've been running our own operations for three years and successfully completed 10,000s of bookings for shifts in London.

We also have mobile applications offering a top notch UX on both sides, we built an internal community to engage our workers so they can connect with each other and share infos. We value flexibility and transparency. Business can book staff the same way they'd book a Uber. We handle payments, payouts, reporting, etc.

We aim to revolutionize the on-demand staffing industry, and we are now opening our platform and our tools to 3rd parties thanks to our experience in this sector, pivoting to a high-growth SaaS business model. Join us to hit this multi billion dollar market!

This is not even close to bretonne crêpes.

Either you use buckwheat floor and water, in which case you are making Galettes. Either you use plain white wheat floor, in which case it's crêpes you are doing.

Under no circumstances you can put sugar in it, it's only added at the end. And of course, it's missing the most important ingredient: butter. #notevenclose

"So we asked ourselves a crazy question: What if we were to implement an alternative ?"

As always with Google...

What if you humbly contribute to open source projects rather than creating new stuffs, labelled with your own brand, controlled by your own engineers, and with your own design choices, however good they may be ?
