Bit unrelated, but I recall an old webpage that had a grid of 10 or so YouTube videos embedded, each with a different instrument playing (they didn’t auto play). This was pre-mobile, so it was expected that you could play multiple videos at

I don’t disagree but sometimes single player rational behavior can be eclipsed when weighing in complicit factors. I used to (and still do) think it would be absurd to buy a house in a neighborhood you’re not first-hand familiar with. Idea

These same areas have also seen increasingly warmer summers in recent times, right? While it may be hard to speculate short and long term regional changes, does anyone have a recommendations for interactive tools to explore, say, monthly te

In Haiti there’s over 150 varieties of mango. I’ve eaten maybe ten distinct kinds[0]. Not only are they visually distinct but, as you’d imagine, unique in taste as well. Made me feel like my sense of “mango” to that point in my life was no

Curious about some of the would be logistics here. This would’ve just been for web browsers pointing directly to facebook’s website, right? Not necessarily other Facebook-owned companies? What about Facebook ads/tracking on the pages o

Probably doesn’t quite count as retro, but I recently purchased a mini PC pretty much exclusively to play Diablo 2 single player. Prices were quite low so I wanted to make sure the specs were adequate. Looking into it, I got a laugh that t

Indeed. Folks were hungry - there was minimal waste. Unless, by waste, you count eating the contents of another animal’s digestive tract.

I recently caved and watched the latest season of Alone, which takes place in the Canadian Arctic, on Netflix. It basically matches the non-canine related aspects of this article. Contestants were sent home months-in, despite having excess

> React requires no compilation. (JSX requires compilation, but you can use React without JSX.) While true I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a non-didactic codebase that uses react but not jsx. Can anyone point to any recognizable project

On the other hand, Away luggage raised $100 million relatively recently. I have an Away carry-on and it’s nice, but no technical wonder. Surely Roblox’ platform’s sophistication, reach, and financial potential are orders of magnitude higher

Would you consider something like @username mentions as excessive in scope for what would have been Slack's MVP? (I know bits of their "origin story" but am in no way familiar with their early product or whether that feature

Thanks so much for your reply - I will definitely reach out via Next Episode to continue the conversation. Any and all feedback would be much appreciated.

Are you able to do this full time to support yourself? Do you feel like you’re competing with the many other app options out there with larger teams? I’m currently building something in a similar space. I’d like to be able to devote myself

There really is something eerily beautiful, as the author states, about simple layouts that convey the immediate information sought as well as the intuition behind the abstraction. Another I'd throw out there are the charts for latitud

This is great, thanks for sharing! Similarly, you might appreciate The Satyricon by Petronius. Civility of yore my ass! (Staying in theme)

Interesting, I hadn't seen that reasoning before - that each vertical within the general-purpose RTS gameplay eventually split out into its own genre, if you will. I suppose it makes sense, but makes me a bit sad as I feel reconciling

Wow, most of that is new to me. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Thanks. So Open Library implemented that because there's no interoperable, universal concept for literary "works"? And then each of Goodreads, Amazon Retail, Ingram, et al. would likely have their own internal system for isb

What’s a good way to group isbns for various versions of the same title? For example, searching Old Man and the Sea on isbndb returns (as you’d expect) many isbns: https://isbndb.com/search/books/Old%2Bman%2Band%2B

Folks project that gaming streamer Cr1tikal makes somewhere in the realm of $300,000/month. He goes into a slice of his (just Twitch) financials here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s_7SfrU3OY&ab_channel=pengu...

Yes! It’s the complete opposite of, and significantly more user friendly than, how zoom recordings synchronize meeting subtitles with audio/video playback. In their case they only show the current line in a text message-like sidebar.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this is very cool, but is there a way to opt out aside from making a repo private? Do OSS licenses distinguish between corporate usage of repository source as code vs as data.

I commend the service provider for aggregating the data and making a business - hope that person is able to make a living from it. It’s an interesting service that I would be very interested in using in providing a service of my own. And I
