Congrats! A friend of mine did the exact same thing and built namesilike.com. Looks very similar in fact but uses a machine learning model to help rank the names.

Indeed, and if you've ever used a machine in China with that crap installed you know how well that went. Speaking of China, it has always been strange how well ExpressVPN worked there even during high pressure moments where all other v

I think that is an interesting coincidence. iSeek was a tool released by InfoSeek (a search engine). Seems like they came to a similar branding outcome as far as I can tell.

The matrices for clustered dot halftoning should not be too hard to generate. I think it boils down to which approach take to generate the thresholds matrix: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/127719.122727?ca

You're right. I just looked up the time frame: in 2017, I did the same thing. It was widely known about and FB took way too long to fix it.

Other fun things I've seen (e.g. when double-blind reviewing): - Someone makes the background color black in Word and saves as PDF. Text is still selectable - Someone draws a black rectangle over the text in Word, text is still searcha

It's a pity you got downvoted (due to an immediate first reply -- happens more and more), but my first reaction was exactly the same as yours. Amazon got richer during COVID19. Bezos got way richer. To be honest, I am not actually conv

Fantastic read! As a long term fan of RF, a lot of things immediately clicked and made sense. It's also a great new direction compared to SHAP-style explanations which most of the industry is using at the moment. I'm excited to pl

It is, but also note my other points: 1 - security-safe and type-safe from the beginning 2 - none of the additional programming paradigms. PHP wants to be everything in one language. I know you can still use PHP "basics" like that

Agreed. 10 years ago, I could still pretend I'd be able to come close to his productivity if I "just set my mind to it." Today (being older, slower, and having a family), I can only be humble.

I totally agree. What I'd actually welcome these days is a web "glue language" which adheres to what PHP wanted to be in the beginning (easy HTML output, one file per page, easy database querying, easy CGI interfacing), but w
