Awesome - do you offer a small widget for the lock screen?
How many of these pose asbestos hazards like the Libby mine?

Turning off soap opera setting on every single person I visit... and watching their reaction ... "dude...... I've been arguing with my wife about this and she thinks im crazy!!!"

Re:Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare If You Don't Need To on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @10:00AM (#45967081)
This is such an idiotic article. Quite literally the exact inverse is true.

If you are a small site, it means that on the rare occurrence that CF goes down, you will have hardly any exposure to upset users.

And... if you are a small site, it probably means you're not going to be constantly logging into your shitty small VPS trying to do security audits and updates, mitigate new zero days, keep every single piece of software in your stack up to date, and CF is an excellent security blanket.

Even on top of ALL of that, you literally are going to propose to change away from a piece of software with quite literally hundreds of convenience benefits (free CDN, workers that can act as reverse proxies, security layers, instant DNS, argo routing which anecdotally seems to help, blah blah blah), because of......... a few hours of downtime in a year? really?

I imagine it would be no different than current indexing strategies with a temporal aspect baked in... it would act almost like a different site, and maybe roll up the results after the fact by domain

No, I shall not "be worried." Unless you are some spineless blob of agencyless ooze... you should be able to parse reality in such a way that your day not need to be filled with worrying

Re:Typing 118 WPM Broke My Brain in the Right Ways on Monday June 02, 2025 @07:56PM (#44164686)
my record is 160 and it makes me mad that ~145-153 is my "wall". no matter how much i relax my hands and do technique I cannot move beyond it. if i google advice/videos, its all people trying to get above 110 or so. I'm with tumbleweeds ... man it would be sweet to type 200 though.
Re:WebGL Water on Friday May 09, 2025 @08:40PM (#43942297)
Here is a trick: pause the simulation and drag the ripples back and forth really fast, it will create a "mega" wave. Then unpause and it will create a massive tsunami

This is my most voted submission. This thing literally never gets old
As OSX user... if there is a nice pristine OSX app (like Postico) I will pay for it even if theres a free version (easily, hands down) if the UI/UX is nice, and pro version has extra features. So I'm definitely someone who would pay.
I remember when this link went around that this 1% column didn't really quite make sense. 1% makes it sound like it's well within the limit, even if you ate 10 in-n-out cheeseburgers a day.

I guess the question is, at what percent of the "tolerable daily intake" of DEHP do very bad side effects (like the heart issues in this post) start to occur?

How likely (perhaps as a percentage) do you think it is that your product will work as described? I'd be interested in taking it, assuming that's all it does is remove plasticizers and not a bunch of good things, and otherwise is mostly inert.

Ah... the memory of PC Gamer
Why do people really need to be told this? This is fundamentally obvious at the most extreme basic of levels. It's as obvious as a red cube being red.
When i type on iMessages, any time the message gets longer than ~8 sentences, ie... a mildly long message, it starts to lag extremely bad, where 1 keystroke has like a 250ms delay. it gets worse the more characters get added on

ive tried every single fix i can find, from turning off AI to predictive text. nothing fixes it. so many other people have this issue... it is absolutely insane a messaging app cannot message

Wow this is super cool. Is this pretty reliable for more advanced scenarios? Simple ones I wouldn't need to see this on, but the more complex things I'd be very interested in perusing code to make certain things click.

Also, which package did you use to build this UI in rust? this is absolutely incredible. I love the vibe of it...
