Some creators do a better job and anyone is free to whitelist those creators. There are a few creators I have whitelisted, but to be honest, they don't run "better" ads than other creators. Sure, some make them more "dig

SponsorBlock is amazing. It tells you how much time you've saved. It adds up quick. I can't say I've met anyone who misses random two minute breaks about weird scam cooking services, etc.

I am trying to stay as recent with offerings from teams like LangGraph. The rate these frameworks, research, etc. is fast. Either way, if I've set aside some time to focus on a video about X it's very frustrating for me to first d

I don't care when YouTube does a buffer thing because blocking ads for me is about distractions and context switching. My cognitive load is already very high and it's extremely frustrating to have to filter out more garbage.

Apparently the IBM 360 and by an extension OS/360, which apparently was so "problematic" that it inspired the book The Mythical Man-Month. Neat.

It depends on the game and what the mod maker decided. I made the mod for the Divinity: Original Sin that changes a few bytes in the game XML files to allow for 4 players in game instead of just 2, since it was mostly supported but probably

As someone who has been using Steam since I had to put my WONID from my Half-Life CD, what's wrong with Steam?

by ddtaylor 1y ago
It does work with pirated games AFAIK. Steam as a platform is very open in many ways. Likely not intentional, just holes that never got plugged. Most of the pirated steam clients just lie and say you're always playing a free Steam game

Workshop has taken off a bit here and there, but it's worth remembering that basically when Steam Workshop was primed to take off was when Skyrim modding was becoming mainstream. I don't know the specifics of it, but I think the S

I am a newb at this too, but is it "normal" for the "Announced IP Address Space" section to have that large jump from addresses like that?

Smells like BGP since there are services people claim have nothing to do with GCP being affected. OpenRouter is down, Lovable is down, etc.

I also am using OpenRouter because OpenAI isn't a great fit for me. I also stopped using OpenAI because they expire your API credits even if you don't use them. Yeah, it's only $10, but I'm not spending another dime with

It's an example of how Brave will not respect the configurations given because it still attempts to use DoH.

I think `systemd-resolved` provides it out-of-the-box for most distros.

DoH is problematic in other ways too. Due to recent browser problems I was giving Brave a shot. It's an interesting browser, but it has DoH enabled in a way that seemingly cannot be entirely disabled. It can be frustrating to not be ab

There is a large market for people who need/use AI inference that have no interest in maintaining any of the infrastructure associated with it.

I was interested to see some AI providers support crypto as their payment. I think we are entering a future where AI regulation puts more people on the darknet.

I think we should look at one even earlier: COBOL. This was the response by non-developers to make it obsolete to need to spell out your business details to an expensive programmer who, we presume, will just change them anyhow and make up t

I remember discovering this trick nearly two decades ago. A co-worker and myself were a bit puzzled at the time and we kind of tossed the idea in the air that "doesn't this mean CSS is Turing Complete?" but we moved on to mak

The Tetris mark as a whole has an amazing history. It's a mark that was created from the ashes of a state that didn't allow trade and was involved in conflict and is kind of a marvel at the amount of cooperation that needs to happ

Is there anything similar to this for something like Tensorflow, Keras or Pytorch? I haven't used them super recently, but in the past I needed to do all of the things you just described in painful to debug ways.
