While this is indeed amazing I think it suffers from not being a PWA.

Being able to stuff it on its own little instance with no "back" to go to would allow people getting a cursory look at it to divert attention from the whole usability etiquette and concentrate on the thing itself, plus there might be some interesting gains in doing so too.

One other thing I'd love to have is an interactive tutorial, I'd love to be able to follow some steps to understand the thing better.

I mean, really.

For a statement noone thought to make until black people started asking to stop being wantonly murdered by cops and which only the sickest people would think to abuse into a "response" to such cries against what is in effect ethnic cleansing it does sure attract a lot of controversy.

Good for him. I'd just have made it a PWA so Apple can't stick their grubby paws on my stuff any more.

Apple needs to be made to stop; clearly not just for this random crab app lol but their absolutely heinous business practices need to be put to an end.

There's a TON of power generation alternatives that look much better both from the "trying to not give you a lot of cancer" standpoint and the "efficiency is something we care about" standpoint. Most RTGs make about 3 to 6% efficiency, while a random Amazon 100w solar panel will give you 15/22% without most of the risks.

The main reason this are used vs (or sometimes along!) other technologies is that they function rather happily in super crappy conditions we don't -unless some world-ending event happens soonish- usually have on Earth.

Either fill: currentColor or fill: var(--iconColor, currentColor) should do the trick. I prefer the 2nd one because it lets me change iconColor whenever I find it appropiate

Does this let me bundle signed snapshots so random miscreants can't tamper with my app? I couldn't find it, and it's the one thing I'm desperately looking for in this kind of platforms

Not saying the Linux analogy isn't good, but this is more like if entering the flags for `tar` in the wrong order could send you and your immediate family into irreversible ruin forever.

It simply should not be possible, this is about literal tons of money, they shouldn't rely on something this banal.

Simple safeguards can be put in place to prevent this. They don't even need to be very fancy:

Fairly sure a simple trained-human-readable description of what was about to happen (think: this money will go to this acct, this money here and this other money over there) would have saved this people a whole lot of grief.

It's not like the alt attribute stopped existing or anything. This simply lets you make what amounts to pretty screencaps of your code

"Banning" language features that are only "banned" when a linter is placed as a roadblock between the developer and the versioning system have to be the dumbest thing us developers have inflicted upon.

How is this preventing me from recreating my own shit `random()` when it's entirely too late in the evening, deadlines are looming and the garbage office politics preclude me from disabling this asinine thing?

I used to regularly trip on this damned reified rituals where we're only supposed to use a single type of quotes, or maybe using short vars like `i,j,k` on for loops and other garbage "rules" that might have sounded great when originally put in place but are horrible on a day-to-day basis.

There's also the behavioral cost, I've noticed more and more people simply don't the code in code reviews anymore. Most feedback I get these days is stuff like "that's not supposed to be snake_case" or "a single space should be put between methods", and sometimes a glaring logic bug will crop up after 3 or 4 people who "approved" the review will gladly and openly admit _they_ _did_ _not_ _read_ _the_ _code_, and I think this is related to us overstressing the importance of all this tiny "form" misshaps and disregarding the "function" bits because it's harder to write a roadblock that checks for them.

Hi! Sorry if I'm missing something. I do not understand how to pay you? Clicked around the site for a bit and couldn't find some self evident thing I can do to send you any given amount of money; my employers might find the idea of this being a paid service a bit more easy if I try to push this to them for use on some of our microsites

How long until this is strategically murdered?

I refuse to use Google products for critical infrastructure until they prove they won't kill the product as soon as they lose interest to chase the next shiny trinket or maybe build their 78th chat app

Hi! Sorry, not an american.

Exactly how is it legal to forego your right to a fair trial on an "agreement" between two parties who for any intents and purposes do not know each other?

The fact that some of the crap spouts are slower doesn't mean the pool isn't filling.

You can think of it like this: There is an very large pool about 2/3 full of human crap, being filled by a number of spouts. Some of the spouts kinda stop ocasionally, but not for long.

There is a sinkhole, but it's not big enough, so it keeps filling.

When it fills up, you and everyone you love included, along with all of humanity, will have to drink from that pool forever as their sole form of sustenance, possibly dying of it. It's taking the plants and kelp with it, too, so eventually there will be nothing we can recognize as good.

The only way out is to make the sinkhole bigger or close every spout and try to make it _very_ clear what happened so future generations don't mess with it. Every other path leads to everyone and everything dying a horrible death.

Right, so what's your solution then?

Contracts by definition cannot bind people into illegal conditions, and there's degrees of neglect that can be considered illegal. The entire point of an ombudsman is to keep actors within "this is not illegal" lines; I'm guessing you could do this on small claims court too, but with the plague and everything it can take a lot longer

Wouldn't this be a matter of simply getting it to an useful starting position?

Sure, but there's also a lot of uh mitten in this case, getting progressively denser as more stuff gets trapped in it. I don't think there's that many ways to trap all the tons of hyperfast shrapnel we've up up there, unless we can get starlink to just sporadically throw small nets around in hopes of catching enough junk on any given throw?

Suppose you put a largeish amount of polyurethane foam in orbit, possibly around some scaffold to take up even more space, had it inflate when up there and had it absorb any wandering garbage for a while. How long would it take for the giant garbage mound to deorbit and burn?

If algorithms they own are operating on a list they maintain and they are making you lose profit, exactly why can you not sue them for that lost profis? What's the legal theory here? A product they own and is entirely disconnected from you is banning you. This is not and should not be OK, nor should you be required to do any special dances and magic gestures to try and mitigate the problem.

Systems (normally) model organizational processes, so companies with garbage processes usually have garbage systems in place too. This highly specific case reeks of fraud, and you should be able to report them to some kind of ombudsman so you could get your couple days' worth of fees back.
