I’ve never owned a flip phone that I couldn’t plug in and swap the battery with a new one without it turning off. If that wasn’t normal with your phones I’m not sure why, maybe different circuitry?

Regardless making devices easy to repair, and thus open and maintainable was what I was getting at.

Codeberg / Forgejo and Tangled are my favorite options. Tangled because while it is VC backed, the open source and federated model are well thought out. If you haven’t read the source code I highly recommend it, it’s genius.

Just make hot swapping batteries normal again like it used to be.

Ironically somehow AI is making disabling JS better nowadays, because text/markdown is becoming normalized, so receiving a pure text version of a page is a thing again.

The pain I felt when I cracked my 12” display still echoes in my mind.

I would use this for streaming games from a wired PC to a device that’s wireless. Not having to run a wire is magical.

It’s not common knowledge outside of dev circles tbh, your advice to blocks ads though is legit. You don’t deserve those downvotes

I wouldn’t call them different browsers, more like skins or “chrome”. All iOS browsers are built on Apple WebKit. This essentially makes all of them reskinned versions of Safari.

Sure they may have some clever UI, accessibility, or platform specific functionality. But they are nothing like any of those browsers on other operating systems.

And then someone posts your tiny hobby site to a popular forum and you get hugged to death. There are plenty of people who say they don’t like centralization (which is fair), and a lot who mention not using Cloudflare (which is fair), but there exists plenty of great reasons to use the tech whether you like it or not.

Instead we should be focused on what the alternatives are depending on your needs, recommending solutions to actual problems, rather than just yelling at the sky.

Those are just a few I’ve used in the past in enterprise settings, but there are a lot out there.

I tried Kagi, and hated its results so I cancelled. I don’t understand the love for it I see online. I enjoy self hosting searxng, where I can configure it for myself or family, for our needs. I also am a fan of marginalia, both which cost me nearly $0 a month, and work wonderfully. I’d rather invest in supporting them through time and money than a corporation like Kagi.

A source map is a file that maps minified code (such as ES5 or any Javascript) to the original source code (e.g. ES Modules, Typescript, etc). This makes it easier for developers to debug problems. Source maps aren’t unique to Frontend web development, but the scenario in the article is.

Imagine if I asked you to fix an English subtitle typo in a film that was subtitled in a language you’re unfamiliar with (maybe Mandarin). At first you wouldn’t understand anything in the film, other than the pretty pictures, and struggle to find the correct segment to fix. But later I provide you with an English subtitle file and timestamp for the movie, so you could go find the actual place to fix the issue. This is kind of what source maps are like, they allow us to map from compiled code to the original, making it easier for us to debug and context switch less, saving a lot of time. They also allow us to better understand the original intent, since it’s the actual source.

The source code is the original source at the time it was recorded for the Apple App Store on the web. But will quickly become out of date as changes are made frequently by Apple.

When I was younger someone deleted a save file of FFTA I had clocked over 400 hrs on (it was a genuine accident), and I was devastated.

I then proceeded to play again with over 1k hours. Might be one of my favorite games ever made.

Phat DS can play them too, don’t forget about my thicc boi

I took one of the broken ones from my office, repaired it, and now it allows my dnd campaign to see the DM and all the other players reactions when playing remotely.

While I don’t know this is the case, I can say from experience that in large enterprise organizations compliance departments will and do actively prevent the release of features and even commits if they don’t comply.

While that’s not an excuse for challenging them, I could definitely see a stressed out mid level just trying to make there manager happy and move on with life.

Do you remember what you guys were using to burn millions of CDs at the time? Genuinely curious how it was done at that scale, as I think it was one of the biggest CD campaigns.

Personal preference, but elixir just strikes a balance that doesn’t make me feel like I’m reading hieroglyphs so I’m actually happy to see it praised.

I was curious about this, so I tried to find out what the record for KSTAR was to date. In my research I found that it ran for 48 seconds in ‘24. The goal is to able to run it for 300 seconds by ‘26, but they have not attempted this.

Although for Plasma generation we’ve achieved much longer run times in both the east (1,066s) and west (1,337s)

If someone is interested in getting involved with meshtastic but doesn’t have soldering or any electronics background you can purchase ready made devices from many vendors.

What the tech is being marketed as and what it’s capable of are not the same, and likely never will be. In fact all things are very rarely marketed how they truly behave, intentionally.

Everyone is still trying to figure out what these Large Reasoning Models and Large Language Models are even capable of; Apple, one of the largest companies in the world just released a white paper this past week describing the “illusion of reasoning”. If it takes a scientific paper to understand what these models are and are not capable of, I assure you they’ll be selling snake oil for years after we fully understand every nuance of their capabilities.

TL;DR Rich folks want them to be everything, so they’ll be sold as capable of everything until we repeatedly refute they are able to do so.
