This looks cool but it's missing a clear legend on the default view to help the viewer understand what they're looking at. It's not immediately clear if it's just absolute temperatures or relative temperatures or what. Y

I appreciate having a receipt. There are plenty of times when I’ve had to look up info about a past purchase. When did I buy it? How much did it cost last time? Which model did I end up choosing? Certainly not for every product but enough t

I assume the different angles are different cameras mounted at different parts of the rover and used for different images? It would be nice to be able to select a particular camera and just follow the view from that, say.

Please create an option to automatically move forward through time so you can see an animated version of the journey. And please get rid of the fade-in/fade-out transition when you switch images, it makes it harder to see the differen

The author is acting like this is some big game changer though, are they just blowing it out of proportion?

I was waiting for the article to address this. IR tracking is not a new idea. Surely the designers of the F-35 were aware of this. Why is this practical now and not earlier?

I think I was unclear. I’m not saying now is better. What I meant is there was a short period, perhaps late 90s to early 2010s, when electronic devices became sophisticated and reliable enough to “just work” in perpetuity, but before every

I agree, I think the idea of products being done is a temporary illusion. Older analog technology needed a lot more maintenance over time. I doubt someone in the 1970s would agree with this; most things then needed to be regularly mended, f

Its owner sounds like a dick. Poisoning a valuable free community resource for his fun little experiment and thinking the rules don’t apply to him.

A small plea to authors - if you absolutely must use scroll-linked animations and fade-ins, please at least make sure all the text is fully readable within 25% of the scroll height. It is so frustrating not being able to read things until

I think that providing a large corpus of example programs for training will become practically mandatory for any new language or framework in the future. At least that way you can help “jump-start” LLMs before it gets adopted widely enough

What's amusing is that I've tried to do this nowadays, where I make plans with someone a few weeks in advance and then just show up. Only to have them not be there, and when I ask what happened, they said, "oh, I didn't

It’s confusing because it’s meant to be confusing. Bigger numbers are more impressive.

Time banks were fairly common. For those with slower modems, it was sometimes the only way you would be able to download an entire program. File downloads were not always resumable back then, depending on the transfer protocols supported by

This is great but confused me at first because it's slightly misusing the term "civic tech". It's generally used pretty broadly to include all government and gov-adjacent technology. Public monitoring and engagement too

Oh, I see - double clicking only works when you have already marked the correct number of adjacent mines. I didn't remember that's how it worked in the original. I also never knew it was called "chording", that's w

"Mines only spawn on water" is a bit confusing; there are no clickable tiles that are fully on land, but tiles that touch land can also have mines. So I'm not sure what that is telling me.

Double clicking on a tile doesn't seem to do anything different than a single click (Firefox on macOS)

That seems like a reductive way to consider it. What percent of music was created by Led Zeppelin? What percent of art was painted by Monet? What percent of films by Alfred Hitchcock? It may be a small percentage objectively but they are hu
