Could you 'vibecode' a website that tells us where to get the ingredients? I don't know where around here I'm going to find some werewolf-harvested honey... https://www.recipeninja.ai/recipe/r_XbZvrH

I remember that when it first came out. I get it’s a theoretical or fashion type thing, but the concept seemed flagrantly absurd to me. Block automated facial recognition in a way that in turn makes your face instantly recognisable in any c

PHP is still definitely a beginner-friendly language that is still very easy to get started with. Setup is as trivial as it always has been, copy a .php file onto a server and you’re good to go. No complicated frameworks or “deployment proc

Why are all the variables functions? They're just numbers. There's no need at all for them to be functions that just return numbers.

This is incredible. I'll be tinkering with this for a while, guaranteed. As the advantages of combining Lisp and Forth in this way are slowly revealed to me it's like unlocking parts of my brain to interact with each other that ne

Why would a fake bank phishing scam site have a brick wall UI? Surely they’d want to make it as easy to enter your bank details as possible.

It’s also exponentially more complicated, has addresses that are a mile long and impossible to memorise, and has enabled such marvels as a toaster that outright refuses to make you breakfast unless it’s connected to the internet with an act

I am very curious as to whether the money you save in energy bills from today’s more ‘energy-efficient’ appliances outdoes the money spent in replacing the things so much more frequently. Older appliances may cost more to run but it’s possi

Does it bring back the old, perfectly functional UI that everyone’s used for years? No? Hard pass. People don’t have the time to waste searching around for some button or menu item that the designers have moved somewhere else, buried in abo

Pretty much. Designers feel the need to justify their continued existence for the purpose of job security. So once in a while they'll convince corporate they absolutely HAVE to change everything up for no reason, and they'll spew

The appearing and disappearing ‘lobby’ entries above the analysis board cause the rest of the page to jump up and down at random. It makes the rules and all following content borderline unreadable.
