Now I have to try it. Thanks for both links!

Please tell us more! What do you mean by correctly?
Re:Global warming will exceed 1.5-degree limit, UN says on Saturday September 05, 2026 @12:09PM (#49577926)
Since land warms much faster than water, and Earth's surface is mostly water, then 1.5C average means how much land warming itself? Isn't talking in averages a way to feel better about all this?
Re:VMs won't contain cyber-capable agents on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @02:02PM (#49453279)
Not using agents seems like a solution to me.

Are we gonna see "we work those unusual hours because that's when LLMs are cheap"?
Official "insider-knowledge-as-a-service". No surprise who the first clients are.

A lot of us is avoiding more by choosing not to fly.
Side note - the moment I upvoted the original submission it vanished, so readding it.

USA is such a weird place these days. Is there a way back to sanity once this administration ends?
Re:Mel Brooks is 100 today on Monday June 29, 2026 @08:44AM (#48718552)
Growing up we watched Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Silent Movie almost every week. Happy birthday Mel, thanks for all laughs and grotesque which shaped us.
Tell me you don't see the value in the tax as a way of discouraging people from ordering a pair of socks from the other side of the globe, while they can buy them locally?
Re:Leaving Mozilla on Saturday June 13, 2026 @04:44AM (#48514984)
First of all thanks for posting what's on your mind and everything you did at Mozilla. Sorry to hear you are burnt out, hope you get better with time.

I've been a loyal Firefox user since forever - reading, writing, web dev I do is always in Firefox. It's a first app I always install. I'm grateful Firefox exists, and the world (at least mine) would be much worse if it wasn't around.

I don't like Mozilla is taking money from Google - I'd prefer if it was all community driven, to the point of a community owned co-operative, but I'm probably delusional.

Yet, I'm hopeful for the future.

In a parallel universe - UK never left EU as Scotland, Northern Ireland, and City of London kicked out England and Wales out of UK, and saved everyone years of turmoil.

I thought you were joking so I went to check it myself and... unfortunately you were not. That is insane.
Re:Helix: A post-modern text editor on Saturday March 07, 2026 @02:25AM (#47285337)
My default editor for the past couple years. Love the simplicity, speed, and the fact I can navigate comfortably with just the keyboard. Plus Elixir LSP integration is a cherry on top.

Same. I clicked the link expecting a story about actual honey.

This will be another upgrade for my dev machine running NixOS since 17.something times. Thanks to all maintaines and release managers over the years for such solid work!

Super interesting, thanks!

Never heard of it, please tell me more about using it in plant breeding!
Re:GitLab discovers widespread NPM supply chain attack on Friday November 28, 2025 @06:47AM (#46077798)
Same story from a month ago. The moment I saw the sheer number of dependencies artillery wanted to pull I gave up.
Re:Helping Valve to power up Steam devices on Saturday November 22, 2025 @02:53AM (#46012995)
Came here to write exactly this. IMO it is the big reason what Valve is as a company.
Re:Red Alert 2 in web browser on Thursday November 20, 2025 @06:09PM (#45999143)
Couldn't agree more. To me 3D environment in games is frustrating to control / move around while 2D is straightforward. And I truly don't care about camera movement. Games are meant to be fun, not a chore with adjusting camera all the time.
Re:Local First Htmx on Saturday November 08, 2025 @04:04AM (#45855298)
Big fan of htmx here, so thanks for opening my eyes to a new way of using it with service workers.

But man, 10MB Go WASM download? That's a no go. It's not only about downloading it but executing on a clients machine over and over again. But I guess you can handle those requests perfectly fine just in service worker using pure JavaScript.

Will give it a go. Thanks!
