After reading the headline I thought this was about 'enhancing' slot machines and online casino games with AI to increase player retention/spending. But the article lists rather mundane usages of AI like providing additional

That is _literally_ the exception listed in the asterisk text ("all*") one line below the text you quoted ("intercity express" is abbreviated ICE).

This is really one of the worst patterns in the SAAS market. I don't want to provide my data to multiple services just to be able to compare their prices and find out which one I'm actually gonna use. At first this will lead to co

I miss that page so much. Honestly I kind of forgot about the buyout for a while and didn't notice the sudden lack of well-written articles about cool new CSS stuff – but one day I realized that nothing relevant has been in my RSS feed

You seem to imply that the founders of Bluesky were the ones pushing for those algorithm changes at Twitter? Do you have any more information on this? I find it hard to believe that this is a decision made by developers.

Even though it's really spelled out in big letters on the webpage, I've made the same mistake. Just wasn't expecting mobile plans to have prices per day. Was wondering how it can be that cheap, literally too good to be true s

When HTML is rendered, multiple normal white space characters collapse into one, e.g. if you write "<p>Hello it's me</p>" it will be displayed in a browser as "Hello it's me". The source cod

Could you elaborate? I didn't find anything in the change log that made this obvious to me.

Thank you for mentioning Manna. I did not know about that short story and I very much enjoyed it in the past ~90 minutes. A lot of food for thought and absolutely astonishing that it was apparently published 21 years ago!

I know nothing about the specific issues here, but as you mentioned do-ocracy: Would it be viable to fork carto and merge the good stuff that has been originally rejected, then asking openstreetmap.org to change their map renderer to the fo

Sadly most major browsers go the opposite direction, removing more and more "advanced" functionality and information from the address bar (e.g. stripping the protocol, ' https:// ', from the URL)

curlconverter.com looks amazing, instant bookmark – thanks! I also use the browser's 'copy as curl' function quite frequently as it's so convenient, having all auth and encoding headers set to _definitely_ work (instead

There was too much demand, so it's no problem that it's closed now? Can't really follow that logic to be honest.

I think it's a great concept and can be a valuable resource, but I really despise the "spammy" look of the website itself. The relevant content is jammed between boxes and lists of "popular devices", "latest vi

Not much to read really, it's not even an "article". But I agree, there is not really much point to minification for small or medium websites. Transport compression takes care of file sizes.
