Some of the items in your document seem more like non-functional requirements that I would expect to find in a specification, not a design document,e.g., security, privacy, legal.

This is great. I've been riding along with the air attack plane on the Timber Fire near Big Sur, CA. It would be cool to see the fire perimeter overlay (like in app.watchduty.org).

I'm stuck. Does that mean I chose the wrong word earlier and used up an essential letter? Does the sequence of word guesses matter? Is there an Undo feature so I can back up and try a different order of guesses? Can I get a hint? Is

Personally, all the animations of stick figures moving and jumping is slightly annoying and offers little valuable information. I might enjoy something like showing a person's national flag (for where they are logged in from), or a tim

The article seems to equate QA with testing, which is a short-sighted view. QA also includes things like standards, and importantly, design and code reviews, which are actually the best way to improve quality.

I wonder if you might be relying on a stereotype of victims. Here's some recent data: "The 2024 FTC Consumer Sentinel Network reported that 44% of all 20-somethings claimed losses in 2023". More data here: https:/&#x2F

Cool, thanks for this. It seems this data comes from OpenStreeMap and has some phones not listed in Payphone-Go. Curious about the discrepancy.

This is a fun idea. It occurs to me that I would enjoy seeing unvisited phones on the map in a different color. [Edit: Oh, now I see green dots for visited phones. Was this always there and I just hadn't noticed?]

I know of a working payphone that is not on the Payphone Go map. Photo: https://i.postimg.cc/Dw4sCDpJ/payphone.jpg The fact that I know of one makes me wonder, are there are others? Is the list the author obtained fr

Geez, how is this comment so far down the list? Reading Dario's list of all the bad things AI could do, I kept asking myself "who would be so stupid as to give AI control of said instruments of destruction?" Dario writes as

I'm guessing it doesn't handle images because you'd have to upload the image, right? I tried one in this format: ![title](P1090910.JPG) with no luck. (Update: it works with URL links)

Perhaps off-topic, but: "Testing doesn't show the absence of errors, it shows the presence of errors" Willison says we need to submit code we have proven to work but then argues for empirical testing, not actual correctness p

As an old-timer who learned programming with punched cards, this visualization blows my mind. I want to turn it into my desktop screen saver.

That sounds simple, but wouldn't the ebook you "pulled off" the Kindle still be in Amazon's format with DRM? I don't think this solves the original problem.

Digression ... you must be using "wilderness" in it's colloquial form, because technically, if he's in a cabin he can't be in wilderness. Federally designated wilderness areas don't allow permanent human habita

I like what EndlessOS is trying to do but it prioritizes the ability to be a complete OS that doesn't need an internet connection, whereas the article wants a browser-first OS (and assumes an internet connection). So aren't those

Misread the title as "I made my VM think it WAS a CPU fan" and was a bit disappointed to find the actual article was not about a VM with an identity crisis.

Does anyone think it would be really fun to see an animation that replays the steps in which the puzzle is solved? When the puzzle is complete have the display replay the clues and answers in the order they were guessed. Here's a proto

Good job! I like the idea, seems similar to Google News, but with summaries in addition to the headline. Personally, I would prefer no pictures, they seldom add anything meaningful to the summary. I would enjoy seeing the items grouped by
