   Also Microsoft's "Internet Explorer" at the time became so popular due to the word 'Internet' compared to a 'Netscape'. So many non-technical people just thought that was the 'way in' when they b

   That's the latest WordPress 'twentytwenty' theme I think.

   I was going to mention Shadow. I see quite a few people who want to play PCVR games using it if they don't have a PC up to the job. Also with VR, many people use 'VirtualDesktop' to link between a PC and the Oculus Quest wire

   I'd never heard of Daily.co before. Looks great! Nice work. I'm about to start building out an idea I've had based on WebRTC/MediaSoup/nginx-RTMP and ffmpeg. (But not for 'live' video calls though). And ha

   I'd say it's more like they're getting search data from Google. eg: I search on some medical condition (which I might or might not have) and the next thing I know, all Taboola 'chumbox' blocks are littered with &#x2

   The company behind "Geo" (which doesn't seem to show up in Companies House searches) is called 'Tactus Ltd. / Tactus Group'.

   About six years ago, I built a similar app for an old long-distance (many timezones away) girlfriend and I to send voice messages to eachother. (called 'duovox' - not released to public). It created recordings and other metadata&

    True. The build times are slow. But the recent versions (and updating is also a breeze - mostly) should be faster. And particularly if you drop support for ES5 browsers.

    AngularJS was indeed a bit of a pain when we switched to Angular 2+ and beyond, but it was so worth it. I chose it because of the skillset that our current (small) team has. There's no way our 'designer' (more an HTML/CS

    I've always been amazed that Apple did the camera bulge. I'm quite sure that an iPhone not being able to lay flat on a table without wobbling would have caused Steve Jobs to throw it at whoever designed it.

    It's quite common the UK, I'd say. Though personally, I spoke to my cat.

    Have you tried different WiFi channels? I had a similar experience to this years ago while working at my mother's kitchen table for while. The network would keep going dead and I had no idea what was causing it. Eventually, I discovere

    Surprised to see no support for playlists. I would have thought .m3u would have been relatively easy to add playback support for. Though, that would present a further UI/UX hurdle.

    The issue with kids is a constant topic on the FB Quest groups. I agree, it really can ruin most multi-player games. Second Life used to have a similar issue iirc, until they created dedicated world for them. The groups are also littered wi

    My Mid-2015 Macbook Pro is the last best machine they made. They were like hen's teeth when I bought mine second-hand. Daily workhorse.

    Probably too many pricing options. And they could do with more explanation about what the options contain. And the last 'tab' of the pricing options reveals the $10k and upwards cost of 'unlocking'. Maybe be a bit more u

    I'd forgotten he did Source Code. Moon was great. And particularly when you think about Space Oddity's "Major Tom" (and "The Man Who Fell To Earth").

    Ah I see now, having read more of the history. Calling it that seems pretty misleading/odd. (We use GitLab and Mattermost (integration) where I work. I've been 'remote / WFH' for the past 7 years.)

    My thoughts exactly. (HN is slow here too, from the UK)

    My point was really that it's GitLab's own product. "GitLab Mattermost" [ https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/gitlab-mattermost/ ] I'm amazed they use Slack at all. Let alone as a fallback.

    I'm quite surprised that you don't use Mattermost as a 'Slack fallback' at GitLab.

    I did that for a while with a short domain I used to own (urlb.at). Then ended up regretting it and shutting it down. I eventually decided that URL shorteners were a terrible idea for the web and that I wanted the 'actual' URLs ou
