I run a non source code service and I also get these, also getting hit by literally millions of residential IPs being cycled after 1 - 2 hits. Ingesting thousands of copies of near identical pages. The bots seem to be programmed in an extre

I don't even really expect them to save to webp necessarily, but they should at least be able to open it. No matter what tool you use, opening an image you copied from the internet has got to be a common use case.

I guess even with the physical buttons you had to just learn that triangle means play and twin towers means pause

I've seen an SD card icon used for a save icon before. I think conveniently the shape is similar enough to a floppy that you find it while scanning for it as well

two thirds of graphics software doesn't even support webp yet. it doesn't look good

the shift managers are the ones under pressure, who are front line employees, they do the same work as the regular employees plus a bit extra and earn maybe $17 an hour instead of 15.

I think you are right that it's all gambling. Kalshi seems more predatory in how it targets people. Perhaps advertising gambling in any way should be outlawed.

Like I said, I also prefer the old.reddit UI, I was more speaking about the general case that user feedback isn't always a good indicator depending on what you're trying to do (especially early in a platforms life, when you'l

My point is that it's not an objective measure of design quality, i.e. how well does a person who hasn't used the software before use it, or how quickly do they learn it. Whether that matters more than your existing users is up to

by asddubs 2mo ago
While I do use old.reddit and genuinely think it's better UI-wise, in the general case users tend to be resistant to any UI change because it breaks their habits and muscle memory. This is valid but applies even if the new design is ea

That's reductive, how many other models had a mecha hitler incident? Or a "let's talk about white genocide in south africa" incident? There is some truth to what you say, but most model providers I would say are engaged

One caveat is that the pico isn't so old that micro usb wasn't a weird choice even when it came out

You can at least buy USB-C boards from other vendors since they sell the rp2040/rp2350 separately. If you want wifi it gets a little more complicated unfortunately.

It's a bad thing if you want your language to be truly portable and be able to work on anything

It's surprisingly rare that it becomes a problem, but I've definitely been bit by it before when getting array keys, expecting them to be strings and doing === comparisons.

you do develop a tolerance to spiciness

Why is Lua 5.1 the most popular version?

It kind of sound to me like you're surrounded by a lot of people who will tell you stories about kids, but only the ones who are having problems. Either because there's a selection that happened before they even encountered the ki

wow, this repo seems to get something like 100 commits an hour based on just scrolling through the recent ones.

I think contextually here what is meant isn't that liquid glass will exist for the next 1000 years, but that they are not going to do a rollback to the previous UI.

Yeah, sports betting is also bad. I guess polymarket casts a wider net, and the fact that everything is fair game means you cannot avoid hearing about it

everything in this world will be turned into gambling. this stuff is a cancer on society

yes, this was my point, thank you for articulating it much better than me

I'm honestly not even sure if civil political discourse is desirable in times of radical actions being taken by the government. I almost think that's worse than no political discourse. e: To clarify my point, e.g. you can't c
