Meta says they verify you with a government ID on that page, while X doesn't anymore (just a credit card, IIRC). That might make a big difference in the EU's eyes for a system meant to "prove" you are who you say you are

Although it wouldn't have helped in this case, I do love the irony of a good typo in a post calling spellcheck and autocorrect "crap".

Seems like a net positive change to me, assuming the tech doesn't succumb to some of the FUD takes here (and/or can be improved over time...). I've had family killed by speeders. I've had friends and family permanently m

Interestingly (ironically?) I've heard of some bloggers intentionally adding typos to their posts to ensure the post looks like it was written by a human and not AI.

It's been a while since I reinstalled Ubuntu, but the latest version (24.04 LTS) definitely includes Ruby (3.2) according to their docs [0]. [0] https://canonical.com/blog/canonical-releases-ubuntu-24-04-n... .

Ruby is an amazing language. I've seen some systems it's not already installed on and hop over to something like perl/python in those cases, but Ruby is by far my preferred hammer for small scripts. The code is beautiful. Sma

Heroku Postgres has always been priced on platform convenience with very high margins. It's been many years now so I don't remember the exact numbers, but I moved a few databases from Heroku to AWS and reduced my DB costs ~90% (ma

Given the opportunity, players will almost always optimize the fun out of any game they seemingly want to play.

Yeah, the humans I'm referring to don't need the hypothetical prefix, nor do they go out of their way to categorically dismiss everything they've said. That's the difference. But it's not a hill I want to die on, es

If I asked my partner to provide an argument for why earth is flat, she would do it. She doesn't think (or have to think) the earth is flat to make an argument. I'd expect an AI trained on human conversation to act the same and I&

The answer probably always differs, but for me I'm just one developer without any mobile dev experience and plenty of site features to keep working on -- so taking time away from the main product to work on a complex app equivalent (an

I think the "app" form-factor is preferrable to a "website" for a lot of people. Almost every website I've built over the past 10 years (summing to ~900k-ish users) has had constant streams of users always requestin

Anything that involves adding weight to the robot (e.g. carrying something from point A to point B) seems like something more suited for Spot than a camera drone.

Wait until you see how popular it is in the US! I can't remember the last time I saw someone use a manned checkout line; my local grocery store has 1 manned lane and 12 self checkout lanes, and the manned one is almost always empty.

There are lots of reasons someone might want to upscale something, not just "holding onto everything". I painted something on my iPad over the last few weeks. I'll be upscaling it so it's high enough resolution to do a l

You can turn on arrows that update as you move your mouse around (assumedly, signifying an origin). Not sure exactly what they do, but they do hint at potentially taking asymmetric distance into account.

IMO, storage is an implementation detail that should be handled up the chain (by your tool or third-party service), rather than by you. In the Upwork example, screenshots are already encrypted and only accessible behind authenticated flows

I used to use the Upwork tracker a lot which sends the screenshots to a third party (Upwork) where both parties could view (or remove) the screenshots. Having some kind of trusted third party or paper trail (if sending by e.g. email) seems

I intentionally use screenshotting time-tracking software because it's nice to not have to worry about trusting my clients: screenshots add one more layer of legal proof that I'm actually working if they ever try to stiff me on pa
