It doesn’t seem to like spaces that much, the code for [QR coded] is broken for me on safari ios. When the space is removed it’s a working qrcode again

This doesn’t read to me as someone who is sincerely impressed or rather surprised what ai is capable off.

This reads like someone is trying to convince me, that ai is just this good, and that the author is telling me to use more ai.

To me this sounds like: Trust me, it’s really bad, i know what I’m talking about. Just lean into it, or change profession.

Why does your last sentence sound like something yoda would say?

The same with brightness. I have a shortcut to lower the white point because the lowest brightness level is still far to bright in complete darkness.

If one needs to work with pdf in a JS environment one will sooner or later cross paths with pdf-lib. I noticed the last release was almost 5 years ago and the maintainers git contributions stopped at the same time. There is a second github account under the same name but the last contribution was in 2024.

Also his personal homepage (https://andrewjdillon.com/) seems to be no longer under his control, the certificate has a different CN and the websites domain is listed under the SAN (with a multitude of other domains).

Beats me. Same computer, same browser. Don’t know whether it’s the exact same address though. Cleared cookies already. Still only working in incognito.

I have the exact same problem. It’s saying something about not being able to confirm my identity? I took a look at the dev tools and it’s apparently making a request to a server which returns an error.

It only works in incognito because it’s using a different ip address there…

Yeah, as an iOS dev, the grass is not greener on this side of the fence…

What a coincidence. My company just upgraded their AS400/IBM i and nobody wanted to buy the old one, so it’s just sitting there. I think it’s a Power 8 Processor…

But is it really hacking if they just give you the key?

Am i breaking into your home when you leave the door wide open? /s

Did not expect that: I got rid of a small screen i can carry around by putting a lot of small screen all over my house.

I put that in the same bin as all the “Stop doomscrolling” apps. You can’t prevent doomscrolling by adding another app on your phone. Get rid of the phone (and all other screens), one does not need to be able to look up everything in a moments notice. Write it down on a paper and do it later.

As soon as i read the author used grok as an ai assistant, i was somehow less interested to keep on reading. Not because of the usage of ai, but the chosen provider. (I don’t know whether grok is just the best choice for this kind of work.)

Is it wrong to judge people for their choice of ai providers?

Rebble sounds pretty much like a non profit to me

Clicked on the link because I don’t know what a “BEAM” is, was not disappointed

For what it’s worth, i didn’t know about this and in the last 7 years my eyesight didn’t get any worse. I have -1/-1.5

And i work 8 hours in front of a computer

They couldn’t be more different. One is doing it in secrecy and for a “reason”, to spy on someone. The other one will do it in public because he can and doesn’t like your name.

> You shouldn’t, though! Seriously, just don’t fuck with focus order.

And here i am, wishing some would do just this. Especially creators of log in forms which make the “reveal password” button the next focus point instead of the “submit” button

Of course it is. You just have to reimplement UIKit in ASM, no big deal…
