You think Reddit is surprised? For all we know, this is going better than they expected.

Did they wait to sue until after you had your data ready? Or were they gonna sue regardless?

In my experience, web push notifications on Android do not show immediately (i.e. with high priority). They only show when your phone wakes. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

I've had no issue with Firebase on a personal project just pushing to my android. The big caveat is that the push doesn't wake the phone. So all notifications drop in when I click the screen on.

The more specific the source you draw joy from is, the more precarious you have always been in life. This is not a judgement.

You won't fire off a quick email nor warn others because there's no bug bounty?

You don't need a Shields Up button to have a little self control on the internet. Seth is energized after a day on the internet. This blog post is about "we" being exhausted aka "you". Not Seth. If you are reading t

My thoughts and experience as well. Seth does not suffer or get exhausted online. He's had his list of what to avoid internalized for a long time. As do I. Believe it or not, you have some agency when using the internet. Even in the fa

It wasn't a prisoner's dilemma. Cooperating gets you almost nothing while defecting gives you benefit. It was nearly the opposite of the prisoner's dilemma. Couldn't another school of thought "blame" those who

Fwiw, your rant did not convince me. I estimate that astronomers need to know about tradeoffs on a telescopes' settings for the data they are looking at. But I'm unconvinced that they necessarily need to know how to operate it (wo

My university had Dijkstra's quote "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes". They made us aware of tools and we were free to use them as little or as much as possible to do the science.

Was the documentation a failure? Or did the US save untold amounts of money because of the mothballing->documentation? The failure of the 20M attempt doesn't mean the overall strategy was bad nor that the documentation was net negat

Maybe some test mode is getting activated on accident. And those are the sounds a developer recorded long ago and didn't remove.

I was confused for a few sentences when the giver/taker terms were used without explicit definition. I assumed they were used to denote information givers/takers but the definition is more like spotlight giver/takers

One time I made a "Hitler finds out"* meme and uploaded it to youtube. My video immediately got 2 copyright claims on it. One was for the video and was probably by the film rights holders. The other was for the audio and it was th

The author is correct about centralized NFTs not being what you expect them to be. They are wrong that NFTs are debunked. A true web3 game will never have the servers shut down. Everyone collectively pays for the server costs. Every time yo

Yeah I'm a little surprised he regrets it. I guess he assumes that a freelancer would have done the same work since his takeaway says so. He may have indeed gotten "service normally reserved for large companies despite my limited

Web3 games will never be shut down (if properly decentralized). The "game server" is effectively pay-as-you-go. NFTs grafted on to web2 games is a start of player owned gaming, but true web3 games will be wholly player owned. Thes

Imo most people who spend time resisting things like AI and Blockchain will spin their wheels before being lumped in with the Luddites. Make sure tech is used correctly because you aren't stopping it. Even if you "stop" a giv

"He's making a video game that you can sell used like at GameStop. Or rent like at Blockbuster." This is the line I tell non-gamers so they can repeat it. Usually people end up reminiscing about Blockbuster .

This is true for so many other aspects of life as well. Things are the way they are for a reason. Not understanding the deep and complex factors that got the system to where it is dooms you to repeat the mistakes of the past. This is why I
