If you don't already know, there was a project to extract all the illustrations from book scans in the Internet Archive and they were uploaded to and could be explored on Flickr. It was probably one of my favourite things on the intern

This resonates with me and my experience of memorisation in the context of botany. A few years back I started going on urban plant survey walks with my local natural history society. The process of learning and memorising the names of the d

You said you drew inspiration from arq. What was lacking with arq that made you want to write something new?

Does make me think about adding some level of redundancy to my site, failover at the DNS level perhaps. Does anyone have an approach they'd recommend? Cloundflare perhaps? All my media is served by cloudinary, so it should be easy to h

Currently exploring using arq, a successor to rq for my next project.

I've been mulling over using arq for a new project, a successor to rq written by the author of Pydantic. https://arq-docs.helpmanual.io/ Does anyone have any experience with it? I like the pessimistic execution concept

This is not the case when using modern wood burning stoves though right?

Seems like this was infact the case: "Our investigation has since found that some of these security alerts, which were sent to a limited subset of LastPass users, were likely triggered in error. As a result, we have adjusted our securi

Acrasia. We severely discount things, positive or negative, that may happen a way off into the future. We struggle to make a "later problem" into a "now problem". The difficulty is that many of life's challenges req

It still seems that the most likely answer might be that lastpass are incorrectly alerting that someone's correct passphrase had been used, and that the email is being triggered by a bug, or something like a login attempt using the wro

Are we sure that same email isn't sent out if someone tries to log into your account with the wrong password?

by johtso 5y ago
Oh! If the messaging is the same regardless of whether the right password is used then that changes everything!

At one point I was planning to make something using a glass table with a camera underneath it and ArUco markers on the bottom of the chess pieces. The problem with trying to make something that uses electronics is the number of squares on t

Makes me think of Magic the Gathering. People will tend to target the biggest threat at the table, so things end up balancing themselves out a bit.

Phone verification would be fine if discord had support for multiple accounts/identities. It's a fundamentally important feature of any online social service to be able to retain privacy and have different identities for different

This reminds me of my first time using a microscope. I was on a course on mushroom identification and we were looking at spores and other microscopic features. I was so surprised when I saw shapes in the viewfinder that didn't look org

I wouldn't write JSON schema definitions directly. Check out typebox. It lets you define a schema in memory and immediately have access to the types https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox Combined with ajv you ca

An anchor would usually refer to the collection of gear placements equalised together, not an individual placement. (Although rarely you might have a 1 piece anchor). The term anchor is more a description of the purpose than what it's

Is there an advantage compared to just putting `web.archive.org/web/` before the url?

Immutability is nice though.

Are there any tools to run an untrusted client side web application isolated from the internet?

Yeah definitely should be the focus! Would be excited to see some of the stats aimchess has implemented.. performance in various phases of the game.. tactics.. advantage capitalization etc. I also found that when clicking through to an open

I've been wishing someone would make something like this! Always frustrated me that tools like aimchess and openingtree only allow you to look at the two sources separately.. supposedly, at least in aimchess's case, the reason bei

Being so functional and playing so nicely with typescript was the main reason I swayed to react rather than vuejs. The whole ecosystem of state management does feel like a bit of a wild west.. but I guess that's often the feeling with

Well, the fact that you're "just using javascript" in jsx does also mean that you need to format things nicely to avoid having an unreadable mess. Using a code formatter like Prettier helps a lot. The "react blob" i
