History feels like the only part of Firefox that is still stuck somewhere in the late noughties. They should just copy what Chrome and Safari have done and make it a webpage instead of a separate window.

Can affirm Art-net is supereasy to implement indeed. One thing you shouldn't skimp on is the DMX controller. I've used DMX to USB controllers in the past, but those have lots of driver issues. The better ones operate over Ethernet and you can just use UDP. I've been using a Showtec box, but i'm sure there are other alternatives as well.

Apparently some load balancers drop the body.

Yup, ElevenLabs stills rules pretty much in this space. Especially if you're looking for non-English models it's really hard to find anything good although the latest Chatterbox[1] now supports 23 languages.

Can't wait for all school essays promoting dubious crypto schemes of some sort.

Seeing the rates here for other countries at least it's a better deal: 50% for delays of 30-60m, and 100% for delays of an hour or longer.

Germany apparently is already warning trans and non-binary people when travelling to the US: https://www.advocate.com/news/germany-warns-transgender-trav...

The situation in Hungary in the best case, Russia in the worst.

Being good in selling stuff and running servers doesn't mean you are automatically great at producing movies and television series, even if you have a lot of money.

I didn't know that, thanks!

I've never heard of networkQuality, that's seems like quite a useful tool.

For a GUI version, Amphetamine is quite nice (and free). https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12

I made something similar eight(!) years ago called Valenski. It's a SASS library but it also only provides a couple of classes and some sane defaults: https://hay.github.io/valenski/

> Next time I get a chance to organise an online conference, I'll steal from Jamie's playbook and invert the model. Viz. ask for pre-recorded talks, distributed to attendees just prior to the conference, with curated live chat + demo sessions with the speaker(s) about the talk. Make the Hallway Track as big and boisterous and charming as possible.

Agreed. This is so much better than having to watch live talks of people stumbling with their camera setup causing the Q&A to be canceled because of that.

Mercury is also pretty sweet as a live coding environment: https://github.com/tmhglnd/mercury

I doubt many developers will get on a WP Engine fork of WordPress. Maybe if they funded an independent non-profit foundation that would take care of a fork that could work, but you still need the traction of the community to make it a success.

I think the only reasonable course of action for Automattic would be for Mullenweg to step down and for them to make a mea culpa, but i doubt that will happen. Given that half of the web runs on WordPress, i wonder how many people will actually move away from WP as a CMS. Maybe if there is a succesful community fork.

Yup. Think about what happened when the Internet Society almost sold the .org TLD to Ethos Capital and they were planning on raising the registration prices by a lot.

Piper seems very interesting, but unfortunately the last time i tried it on macOS it didn't seem to work (anymore).

iCloud works fine, and there are many alternatives as well, as mentioned in this thread.

Reminds me of this classic 'feature' from Lotus Notes (scroll all the way down on the page): https://web.archive.org/web/20120123085307/http://homepage.m...

That looks awful. Unfortunately you could probably write a very similair article about many other corporate or governmental websites. E.g, applying for an ESTA felt like registering for some kind of scam. Or the systems to let friends and family park for a reduced fee in many municipalities also seem to be designed by people who hate humanity in general.

...without the cruft and needless complexity of Angular 1 ;)

Link works fine for me.

Thanks!

Surprised to see a project i made twelve(!) years ago on the front page today. Just to make it clear: this was most definitely a joke, and not an AI at all. It's just random words thrown together, which was kind of the point i was trying to make about some Java developers naming their classes ;)

This seems like a nice release. It would be even nicer if they would summarize the major new features with some examples and short summaries instead of linking to PEP's and Github issues. I don't think many people have the time to read all of those to get a gist of the new features and changes.

I'm not sure how conflict resolution is done with Obsidian, but i have used both Dropbox and iCloud and with both i never had any sync issues in the last year that i've used Obsidian. Before Obsidian i used NvAlt which gave me sync issues all the time.

+1. It's pretty easy to setup your own syncing using iCloud, Dropbox or whatever you want.

I have tried Joplin a little bit and found the UI of Obsidian much friendlier, also the plugin ecosystem is very active. Another main difference is how Obsidian works using the 'bunch of Markdown files' vs. the database approach Joplin uses. Also see this earlier thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27808003.
