Keep in mind that a fairly significant section of the community (anything sex-positive, adult-adjacent, or associated with either) got swept out along with the porn, and a larger portion followed them ("community" bites both ways,

I've not used it myself, but have you looked into Matrix?

Yes (for both Chrome and Firefox), and it massively improves browsing experience, IMO. At least for Chrome you can even do site-specific exclusions.

The article lists "...according to local police, about 95 percent of petty crimes on Jeju are committed by Chinese", but that is less than useful without statistics on tourist demographics. It would be interesting to see a more co

Huh. I guess that makes sense, it's just quite unfamiliar to me.

The sad answer is that the great majority of voters are ignorant and/or apathetic about privacy - at least in comparison to things like taxes and health care. The population that is willing to vote against party lines for privacy is tr

Man, I'd forgotten how much the artstyle of Wasted Talent changed from the first few comics. I hope stuff's been going well for Jam since she ended the comic.

As evv brought up [1], it's rather concerning that the cornerstone of the JS ecosystem is a for-profit organization (especially one lacking in a source of aforementioned profit). I wonder if their bankruptcy might not be the worst thin

A union might not save NPM, but mistreating their employees is a surefire way to guarantee failure.

Especially since we don't have any practical experience digging tunnels in mars gravity - or even know exactly how it impacts geology. Would be a shame to lug a bunch of (extremely heavy) equipment out there and have the tunnels turn o

Also it's a lot easier to send people there one-way than it is to bring them back, and there'd likely be issues with atrophy if we were able to do so. There's really no reason to design for two-way trips for now, especially c

I imagine sensible website operators would limit signups to below the threshold, so they don't run the risk of legislation unexpectedly applying. Otherwise it also becomes an avenue for malicious actors.

While I disagree that this is the primary reason for Google pushing AMP (if it were, carousels would be page size and speed limited, possibly taking into consideration CDN availability, not (Google-)AMP-exclusive), it is definitely a face

IMO Minecraft is the big example of this nowadays - servers are self-hosted with their own rules and communities, and the nature of the game highly encourages social interaction. I've certainly played on servers that are closer to chat

MMO games still allow for this as you (generally) select one larger, persistent server at character creation, and remain on that server.

Anecdata: I fairly recently switched from vim to VSCode, and don't feel like there's any meaningful productivity difference. I've enjoyed using VSCode, but any difference in task overhead feels trivial - likely because I stil

True - it would be more accurate to say that both English and non-English TLDs are common.

That's a good point. I might have to try some experiments with side-scrolling columns, see how it works out for longform reading.

To be fair, due to the hierarchy of domains, it does make sense for api to be a subdomain rather than TLD. It would be a cool alternative to guarantee that example.tld owned example.tld.api though, as you could assume that any .api domain w

Note that Amazonia is one (of multiple) localization of Amazon - it's just as foreign. Note also that it is a well-established standard for TLDs to use English - e.g. .fi instead of .su.

Crucial difference here: the business chose to use the name of the extant location. The name of the region derives from that of the river, which was named by an external group, without input from the local populous (unless you count attacki

Columns don't really work well with scrolling, unfortunately. You can do multiple pages of multiple columns or one scrollable column for longer content - personally, I prefer the latter (and it's simpler technically), but either w

If there's no side effects of long-term usage, I wonder how much power this needs - could you make a hat of some sort to just constantly provide the jolts to offset the limited duration of the benefits? Perhaps the 90s dream of "s

I mean, the solution seems pretty obvious to me - if the codes are legally-binding, their development should be funded by the governments which use them.
