> It is worth noting that this law also applies to non-web applications where the service provider supposedly being secured against is also the client software distributor; thus, the “end-to-end encryption” offered by Whatsapp and Signal, amongst other proprietary services, is equally bogus. (Both Whatsapp and Signal ban use of third party clients, and enforce this policy.)

ImageMagick with `-dither` and `-remap` could also work. For remap you would need an image with your desired palette, and IIRC you could use ImageMagick to produce that image but I cannot recall the incantation required for that.

This isn't the same though. With EventTarget, if one of the callback throws, the later callbacks would still get called. With yours the later callbacks don't get called.
How does one follow a post in HN?
They do rely on convection, just forced convection rather than natural.
Have you heard of Blotch? How feasible is selling a device with a 13.3 inch e-ink screen under 200 USD?

It may be marketed as bespoke, but it does seem to take USI stylus (styli?), at least for basic inking purposes, https://youtu.be/4peCXY7duxI?t=486

and USI seems to be about interoperability https://universalstylus.org/ , at least within that ecosystem.

In Singapore there's a telco intending to launch 10 Gbps fiber for 30 SGD (~22.35 USD) per month. likely to be asymmetric though, since their 2.5 Gbps service at ~16.24 USD per month is advertised as 2.5 Gbps down and 1.25 Gbps up.
Re:A fourteen-day free trial ain’t gonna cut it on Monday May 06, 2024 @09:06PM (#40281225)
Why does it say 1 user limit for Pro plan and also that is for small teams? Or am I missing misunderstand the pricing page?
Is this the better pricing y'all are figuring out that's been dangled since the launch of Durable Objects + WebSocket on Workers?

Oh and somehow I missed the Hibernation API announcement. Paying for idle but connected time is what made me nope out of trying it out.

neovim and vim (since v8.1) come with a terminal mode, and the default key combinations to get out of terminal mode is a little cumbersome (<C-\><C-n>). It's not unthinkable that if someone already maps jj to get out insert mode that they would do the same for terminal mode.

Not great for me. Getting single digit fps/absymal scroll performance here on my M1 Pro MBP and iPhone.

"Lightning" in "lightning cable" is spelt "lightning" and not "lightening". Lightening is "to make lighter", and "pocket-lightening" likely refers to him/her not liking to spend money on lightning cables or that he/she thinks that they cost more than they are worth.
web0?

Edit: I have not heard of it before this suggestion, but it turns out that this is something that already exists.
