I certainly don't want to confuse anyone, so I added captions to every image (and alt-text, while I was at it). Thanks for the heads-up.

It's not an advertisement for Claude. It's a screenshot from the relevant part of Qontour's website that I was referring to in my post.

This is definitely not something Neal would ever do. Can you share the URL you're talking about? There's no IQ test in his projects list at all. https://neal.fun/

They said they’re looking to “move out of China,” but that almost certainly doesn’t mean the U.S. Probably India or Vietnam, maybe Turkey or Malaysia.

The Web Monetization API was another recent effort to try to make this, the latest of many attempts. See previous HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39274455

My guess is that 1. there’s virtually no demand from potential supporters for a more convenient way to pay creators than existing payment/subscription apps, and 2. relatively few creators have direct control over their own internet presence anymore, so any solution that requires modifying a web page is dead in the water.

Any new attempt to pay creators that doesn’t factor these two realities in will likely fail, because it just makes things harder than existing solutions.

I ordered one yesterday as I wrapping up the post, and it was already shipped early this morning.

A semantic search engine for Steam games sounds like my jam. You should put a link to it in your HN profile!

I mentioned it in my post: in Image Capture, select the “Virtual Scanner II” device if it exists, and in the Details, set the Media to “Document” and Media DPI to “72 DPI.” You should see the preview of the first page of the Bitcoin paper. But that's only possible if the virtual device exists, and it's still unclear why it's hidden for some people but not others.

Others have confirmed to me that it wasn't in High Sierra (10.13) and shipped with Mojave in 10.14.0.

Hi, I wrote the post. This is patently false. There are plenty of articles about the clip, but none of the videos are still online and there’s no alternate angles, period. Please feel free to post links to prove otherwise.

Hi! I work on Skittish. There's a minimap (and spatial audio, chat, emotes, and a bunch of other settings/features) in the full Skittish app that didn't make it into the demo. Create a new event and try it out!

The Brothers Chaps will probably end up switching from Flash to Ruffle on their own site eventually, but until then, the Internet Archive has almost all the Strong Bad Emails archived here playable with Ruffle. https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_flash_strongbad
