I wish they were true to the cause, and used black on white, the most brutalist anything could ever be.

Regarding communities, this was one of the strongest features from Orkut. I remember having lots of fun hunting niches/bizares communities (and not so much fun when I found out some communities I was part of got sold/traded, and t

That was my conclusion as well. I didn't get fancy about setting cronjobs. I just run a script every now and then, and it is enough for my case. I'm still looking for a good player that would behave somewhat like Youtube Kids (aut

If we could restrict the app to just play videos of a single playlist, life would be great. But today it is very easy for kids to exit playlist mode, thus defeating the purpose of curating a playlist.

NoScript does wonders. Some might say this isn't easy, as it will break some sites, but in my experience you can get pretty far with it.

Not self-hostable, but Google Vision API OCR was pretty good when I used last time. AWS also has a offering for that, but I haven't personally tested.

I know you are talking about Desktop OCR, but I had a very good experience with Google Vision API. On my previous gig we were trying to automate receipt scanning, and it gave very good results with no previous image manipulation whatsoever

It does work surprisingly well without Javascript, so you might want to try that. Not sure if the linked extension would work without JS, though.

Github projects are not as important as people might think. They are a plus, for sure, but not the meat -- unless you are a legendary open source contributor, but then you wouldn't have problems finding good work anyway. I'd say b

Not just that, but remember not everybody can afford health care in US, so it's not unfathomable to think some of those bad statistics is due to people not being able to afford proper care, not just that they don't live a healthy

Unless you are on H-1B visa and your spouse can't work. Now you don't have an option to share a bedroom and have to pay for the whole thing.

Disabling Javascript has singlehandedly fixed several annoyances I had, even with ad blocking. No more tabs draining my battery (ok, css animations are still a problem), no more things jumping around, no more page popups, no more Intercom c

It's surprisingly not that rare for a website to be usable without Javascript. I'd argue a text+images website does not need to be modern in any interpretation of modern.

That's completely true. I think the most revealing thing about being a first-time parent, is that all children are different. The art of being a parent is to learn from your child, and to adapt accordingly. It is also worth mentioning

It is so refreshing to see slim, fast websites. Only the minimal JS is used. Even though I don't have many repositories, I'll certainly consider supporting gitly. Please remain true to your current vision. Just a minor point: alth

I don't know in US, but at least where I live when somebody hits you from behind, it's his fault. The idea is that you are supposed to drive cautiously and therefore be prepared if the vehicle in front of you behave erratically --

I've been using this tool for a month and it's really great. A focused tool that does its job well. The only caveat I got, and this is completely due to my inexperience with Go, is to not use `daemon: go run foo.go`, but to `prep:
