Captive wifi is basically dead already, anyone who thinks they are providing a service by running it is mistaken. It's been busted due to https for years now. It's also almost always some sort of pointless CYA wifi license agreeme

Not everyone is subject to compromise via news feed. One of the interesting things about the Cambridge Analytica story was the idea that they got good at finding people vulnerable to radicalization via news feed. As for the reason for the h

What's wrong with offering the user a file to "download" (actually creating a file on the fly) or "upload" (actually loads it into the local web app?) Edit: Here's the stack overflow copypasta I used to achieve

All the reasons you listed are why I didn't use flash during its heydey. What do I have to show for shunning flash? Well, a bunch of projects that never got out of the idea stages, that's what. And a Pygame game that won't ru

You could slap a midi interface snd and knobs onto a few SID chips and sell it for way more than this.

What would bees use fire for? Same thing they use everything for: education. Specifically teaching all other animals not to mess with bees.

Very cool. I really think that prolog's future hinges on its interop with sql.

I was thinking of doing this. I even started a bit, but I didn't end up getting very far. I'm torn between trying to run it as a service and running ads or whatever, or trying to run it as a wiki with contributors writing ETLs for

By demanding transparent pricing (and other aggressive policy, like say not being able to bill patients without them seeing a price and agreeing) might we force the system to replace itself? Because these companies are very good at complyin

People where still working in offices and going to school then. Heck, I was at Pax East just before that went down. We where concerned about Corona, talked about it, but we still went along with tons of others.

So a correct formulation would be ci * e = co where e is efficiency. This article is arguing that there are many possible values for e and you can influence e with your calorie sources. My point is that most of why CICO matters is that e is

Absolutely hyperbolic title. Sure, "A calorie cannot exceed a calorie" is more correct, but it's less punchy so nobody uses it. The point is that you can't get free energy from nowhere. It's very well illustrated by

Same argument against letting the general public administer care of their choice-Health Insurance does not want to pay for mistakes. Doctors are entrusted with making these decisions.

I love the old school memes (seven proxies, cowsay, nine thousand, the whole thing being a txt file.) Some early aughts charm right there.
