I get paid a lot of money for it, so yes.

Remember StumbleUpon?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

This is awesome, I like it.
Definitely some level of human curation... that's what made del.icio.us so good IMHO. You knew the links posted had a level of (probably nerdy) oversight.
Is there a place/system for discovering or aggregating personal websites like this? Remember old school "directory" sites and tools like del.icio.us? There were awesome compared to being at the mercy of google.
Re:Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake on Friday June 30, 2023 @08:53AM (#36533976)
The iPad (pro in particular) is an incredible platform for music production and lots of other "pro" tasks. People mostly use them in conjunction with other machines.
Re:Omicron at 100% Prevalence, Colorado on Thursday January 06, 2022 @06:48AM (#29822422)
I didn't know that. Is that because of access to PCR testing services or a "head in the sand" attitude?

We're in a situation now where our PCR test system has pretty much fallen apart.

Everyone knows everyone in Ireland. It's a blessing and a curse.
Re:Omicron at 100% Prevalence, Colorado on Thursday January 06, 2022 @04:59AM (#29821518)
I live in Ireland and I know at least 100 people who have had covid, including my wife, father, mother and 2 sisters.

Omicron is prevalent here right now.

The placecard generator is brilliant. Well done you.
This post is terrible.
Re:The Evolution of Jamstack on Tuesday May 04, 2021 @10:46AM (#27038160)
You're talking about *Jamstack* like it's some kind of proprietary framework or platform.

It's a methodology for building websites in a particular way using an enormously diverse set of tools and platforms. Comparing it to GWT is not correct.

I actually worked in one of the most expensive hotels in London. If people were assholes to the staff or broke any of the hotel rules (which were extremely lax WRT prostitution etc.), they would be marked in the system as a "5 star guest". Any time in the future they tried to book a room, the hotel would simply tell them they had no availability.

Based on traffic to the site over a period of time, like pretty much every other 'Most Popular' algo.
You can completely use a linear ratio. Google any world class chef's recommendations, they will all recommend a fixed ratio e.g.:

https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-cook-the-perfect...

Rice cooker instructions also use a liner ratio.

Cooking rice isn't rocket science.

Water to rice ratio = 1 rice to 1.5 water.

Re:Some Indian Twitter users are leaving for Mastodon on Monday November 18, 2019 @12:24PM (#21566131)
Have you actually used Twitter since 2016?
Not everyone understands what is unacceptable behavior?

I mean, if you go to a restaurant, a movie theatre, or a supermarket, do you know how NOT to be an asshole? It's not hard. Most people can manage it on a day-to-day basis.

I don't know where you're veering off to in your last sentence either. Weird.

They're not gatekeepers, they present facts. It's up to you whether or not to believe them.
The universal user rule should be "Don't be a dick!".
Re:Some Indian Twitter users are leaving for Mastodon on Friday November 08, 2019 @05:34AM (#21481145)
Twitter's problem is that it won't do anything about users with handles like @magapatriot2130945785 who have turned the site into trash.

It's not that they CAN'T do anything about it, the problem is that they WON'T.

Re:The boy behind the biggest coin-op conversion of the 80s on Tuesday October 15, 2019 @07:19AM (#21257374)
I loved that era of VW Scirocco but they were awful apparently. The Renault 5 GT was THE car to have around my parts.
Re:The boy behind the biggest coin-op conversion of the 80s on Monday October 14, 2019 @05:33AM (#21246438)
The Orion was a bit shit but the Mini Cooper and the XR2 Fiesta were great at the time.

Hah, this brings back memories of buying weed in the 90's off a lad with a purple Orion.

It's all about the experience. Same as all early Apple "i" products... the same tech was already out there, Apple just polished it way better than everybody else.
Irish person here.

It's not normal.

Re:OP-Z Synthesizer on Friday May 24, 2019 @05:26AM (#19999865)
TE products (particularly the OP1) are used by artists like Radiohead, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Nine Inch Nails, CHVRCHES, Animal Collective, MGMT.
Re:OP-Z Synthesizer on Friday May 24, 2019 @05:19AM (#19999821)
> Wow, it’s quite expensive, especially in comparison with recent gen of affordable synths.

Are you comparing the OP-Z to a Korg Volca?
