Hackbraten

Cool project!

I’d appreciate if the site didn’t hijack my scroll wheel though. It currently doesn’t let me scroll through the page at my own speed, which is super annoying, plus it hides any scroll bar (which would have served as my escape hatch for scrolling).

> Max out your 3D printing with FDM, and only if you can't achieve your goals, get a resin printer.

Not everyone has the luxury of affording space for multiple ecosystems. Not everyone owns a house. Some live in small urban apartments and have to count every m² of shelf space. Printers, supplies and spare parts all add up. So the decision may be between one printer or nothing, and I can see why one might choose to go SLA first if they know exactly what they want up front.

True. The point I was trying to make is, once you’re past that valley it can feel just as normal and convenient as FDM printing.

So “[y]ou don't want a resin printer” may be true for you, or for most users, but certainly not true for everyone. It’s a question of personal preference.

You’re absolutely correct, and I owe you a honest statement—it was a hack, and here’s the kicker: *I failed to catch it, and that’s on me.*

Here’s a complete rundown of what happened—load-bearing parts first:

Three different marketplaces have been mentioned in this discussion:

1. The Cursor Marketplace (never heard of this one, it’s possibly a custom marketplace hard-wired into Cursor, which is architecturally a VS Code fork?)

2. The Visual Studio marketplace, hard-wired into VS Code

3. Open VSX

If I understand this thread correctly, then #1 and #3 had compromised versions, and nobody has made a statement yet about the status of #2.

On the other hand, once you have everything in place, get used to the process, have made it a habit and stick to it rigorously, it can be extremely rewarding to do resin printing.

Each OS apparently comes with its own trade-offs, just look at the sheer amount of unhappiness expressed in this thread.

What market share proves is popularity. Which is important in an OS, but ridiculing other people's choices on grounds of market share doesn't seem very convincing to me.

Unlike a calculator or a digital watch, a phone is a general-purpose computing device with a screen, industry standard interfaces and peripherals.

Not GP, but I'm reading your comment on Firefox ESR on my daily driver, a Librem 5 running PureOS, another mobile Debian fork. The OS is maintained by paid contractors, funded by Purism hardware sales and donations from users.

What is your goalpost for a "serious OS"?

I liked Moldrise a lot. It's at most 3 hours though, maybe 4 if you want all the achievements.

Meanwhile in our inboxes: “We take the security and privacy of our users very seriously” and “We have no reason to believe that social security numbers in our user database were accessed.”

> preventing access to sites that distract employees and have zero business value (pornography, gambling, etc.)...

This is simplistic and almost certainly leads to overblocking.

Blocking a gambling domain sounds innocent on the surface but what if the gambling company publishes an article in their corporate blog to share how they solved a specific scaling problem or what money data modelling lessons they've learned?

It has happened to me more than once that I tried to read an article that was immediately relevant to my work but was denied access due to naive domain overblocking.

Please stop normalizing this shit.

> with downloads you can copy to any device.

I don’t see a download option. There used to be one, but they killed it two years ago or so.

And Amazon can still remove the book from your library anytime they want.

On the other hand, the browser built by that hapless, ineffectual competitor works decently enough for daily use imho.

One day, RAM prices will settle again, and the USA-China race will probably keep giving us fresh models to self-host (weights only, but still.)

That's not too far from owning it.

Joke’s on you, my phone always gets Turnstile’d

I think that in every imperative language that offers `map`, `filter`, `reduce`, or similar, the written contract of this API should state that any higher-order function handed to it as an argument must be free from side effects.

I think I’ve seen several language core APIs have this in their contract, e.g. `Stream#reduce` in Java [0] (emphasis mine):

> accumulator - an *associative, non-interfering, stateless* function for combining two values

The game is in very active development. The most recent alpha was published just four days ago. [0]

> it looks like it was just a demand letter? My impression is that demand letters are nearly meaningless. No judge has to approve them, and they cost an hour or two of lawyer time.

A solo indie developer who is busy building their debut title is no match for the legal team of a global multi-billion corporation. The developer would run out of money way before the parties could reach any kind of settlement.

Not necessarily, as evidenced by TFA, whose scraper still seems to work even after it visits each individual SERP entry to harvest the URLs.

But Kagi’s SERP API provider is going to have to adapt, I guess.

The only “other engine” that matters is really a thin paid SERP façade in front of a scraped Google result. In other words, Kagi pays for access to an API whose implementation is basically live scraping Google and throwing away the ads.

There are a few other indexes that Kagi’s aggregator mixes in (such as Bing Search) but those haven’t been contributing much in terms of meaningful results. The sheer size of Google’s index still dwarfs all the others, including Bing Search.

So yes, Kagi doesn’t scrape but they pay SERP providers who do.

IKEA bullied the developer of the indie game The Store is Closed into gutting the whole game. [0]

It’s a shame how people can even acknowledge, let alone applaud IKEA’s “funny” gaming-related ad after their successful meddling with SCP folklore, not to speak of the chilling effect their actions may have had on indie gaming.

Misleading title. The correct title is: Germany’s far-right AfD projected to win eastern state but unclear if it will be able to govern

Please fix.

Good luck enforcing the law against a company whose entire business model is to piggyback residential-proxy-as-a-service over the shitty FNQQOIIWKNURQB brand $60 projectors they flip on Amazon. You call them out, they’ll just say they stopped doing it and go on with business as usual.

What I find remarkable is that for at least a decade, i.e., long before LLM scrapers were a thing, GitHub engineers have been reaching out to popular package manager projects, asking them to do away with shallow clones [0] [1]. They basically used the same reasoning as your comment did.

All anti-bot measures are inherently flawed, and if you overdo it, your false positives cause real harm by excluding actual people from using your services.

Not as in “1 out of 1000 legit requests get blocked” but “you’re going to block 100% of some person’s requests.”
