We've been waiting what, 15 years for this to happen?

Last year, I started building a similar desktop tool in Flutter: https://github.com/PolyglotNetwork/devtoolbox

I wanted to include offline CyberChef within this app in a webview but it turned out, Flutter still doesn't support WebViews on non-mobile platforms. I wonder if that has changed.

https://OpenLibrary.org is Internet Archive's initiative to solve this once and for all. Plus it lets you borrow e-books.

Why not switch to Mojo lang for this? It's Python-compatible with Golang like performance from what I hear.

They're transferring the user's assets, the domains, and killing the product (Google Domains).

I'm reminded of Sachin Tendulkar being able to recall every single dismissal in his 20+ yrs of cricket career: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRofNOkZg0M

No relation with this particular condition though.

FF is my primary browser too, but with the user base down to 3%, it's not exactly relevant any more.

I ran into the same problem while building https://learnawesome.org/ . Forget the broad class of "learning resources", even the "books" category doesn't have a usable unique ID. Not everything gets an ISBN for example. There's also the ambiguity between a "work" and an "edition" of a work.

This is probably why OpenLibrary supports mapping of books with 40+ identifiers: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/blob/master/o...

But technology can empower individuals to change the balance of political power. See printing press, cryptography/encryption, social media etc.

Not sure if that's a good idea. It shrinks the set of genuine readers and overweights the set of professional spammers.

There's https://github.com/nat/openplayground and https://github.com/ztjhz/BetterChatGPT among others.

There's an extension for this: https://github.com/darold/pgtt

I built this puppeteer-based agent to do online tasks in browser, described in natural language: https://github.com/aicombinator/bot

Snap language by SAP (snap.berkeley.edu) would be a better stepping stone rather than directly going to industrial languages. It's got first-class functions, first-class lists, object-oriented programming, APL-style vector operations which are very handy for media processing, machine learning etc, continuations, ability to make HTTP calls etc - while keeping the same playful environment as scratch.

Features like this enable serious study of computer science possible with Snap: https://emu-online.de/ComputerScienceWithSnap_2.pdf

There's even a variation for 3D geometries: beetleblocks.com

Scratch is immensely popular but with lack of reporter blocks and lack of first-class lists, it encourages many bad programming habits (global state, no datas tructures like stack/queue/tree/graph etc. The one advantage it has over SnapLang is that it has better performance for building intensive games etc.

More like the death of APIs. If bots can handle UI designed for humans, there's no reason to build and deploy APIs.

Another great interactive explanation.

I wish physics teachers start using geometric product of vectors, instead of the cross product. This allows forces and torques to be combined into a single concept "Forque". Really, translations are just rotations around infinity and rotations are just composition of two reflections. If we allow the algebra to take care of rotations, physics becomes a lot simpler.

I actually implemented it recently in one of my open-source apps. It's 6 lines of Javascript: Create an <a> element, set the data in its href with:

element.setAttribute("href","data:text/plain;charset=utf-8," +encodeURIComponent(content))

and element.click() followed by document.body.removeChild(element);

This works perfectly fine for saving single files. FileSystem access API is useful when entire directory needs to be stored and perhaps without the standard SaveAs.. UI.

Saving a file is easily implementable without a Filesystem access API. See https://draw.io/ as an example.

They don't need to do extra due diligence. Just buy insurance for the excess amount above the FDIC limit. After all, they do benefit from the upside like cheaper mortgages for execs.

Every bank account holder was made to pay insurance premium for those with more than $250K in a couple of banks. And this was done AFTER the risky event the insurance covers has already happened. This absolutely is socialization of losses, while privatization of profits goes on as usual. Good reason to be upset, IMHO.

"KYB" now means "Know Your Bank". :-D

More seriously, you don't need to do extra due diligence. Just buy insurance for your funds above $250K. Or use standard treasury methods like using institutional insured liquid deposits or sweep accounts.

It would be great to be able to navigate the page to a certain scroll location or a specific state if it's a single page app and THEN take a screenshot. I don't know how you would achieve that though. Easier for the user to upload an image.
