Tried to visit the first domain, baydailymedia, but doesn't seem to exist... I know its unsurprising and not against the rules or even spirit of showing off your new toy, but some humor in the aria tag "Video of user creating a protein maxing Skill" and then within the video, a fat "Video for illustrative purposes" "Results may vary" "check response for accuracy"
Second video seem's more real. And yeah, again not against the rules, but dropping onto website, no ads, prompting data out of it is very in the ethos of our current "lets just do an ai" to be relavent era.
For those out of the know, Nova Launcher is an Android home screen replacement... so hits home when the root of your phone existence gets shook piece by piece.
Crashes like a Windows ME screensaver. Jokes aside, it's very fun to see open firehose access like this. I seem to recall that Dorsey had said that twitter limiting their api access was a mistake, hope we can keep this going.
I've got maybe 4 extensions that are manifest V2 that just purely don't seem worth upgrading/fixing up (my largest with 5-10k installs) due to the time/5+ year old code that has been working fine on the old apis... Has chrome done some outreach to the popular extensions, or maybe just gone past a point where they're happy to kill off the old and move onto the new? Or is this purely about ublock etc?
As someone that works in media/advertising, the first thing I check when I see something like this is their ads.txt [1] -- It looks like they're managed by ezoic whom you forward your entire dns and they inject ads in the middle (AI is mentioned, naturally). Definitely ruining this whole site's experience.
One thing I'd love to know or see is common mistakes I make or the type of mistake/trap I fall into in the pivotal moments of games (some kind of fork/pin combo for me I suspect) ... and/or repeated mistakes I've made in the same position.
I'd noticed some strange changes at our veterinary office, where they'd usually give my dog a full round of shots once a year, suddenly they decided to break it up into multiple different rounds, meaning I'd pay 3 times instead of the one. After a little research I'd found that they'd been bought by a private equity firm, and on further inspection had found a lot (NYC) of practices had changed hands the last few years.
There's been some antitrust cases, but the FTC clearly can't block many. The changes are clearly costing everyone more money for no reason, but can anyone really block this?
https://tholman.com/ - Largely JS experiments dating back 10+ years. Sometimes I scroll right back to the start and can appreciate the long journey I've taken from scrappy student to now.
Have been on the feedly train ever since google axed reader, was able to transfer all feeds via import ++ will help you get some kinda feed (can break with big site redesigns but has been pretty solid) from sites without RSS. Haven't needed to shop around at all since 2013.
Am thinking that a few of the domains on the list expired and were snapped up by malware/scammer sites causing the spreadsheet to seem super sus to a machine scanning/checking urls.
As a wow amazed individual I had made this guess the wow to the movie game a couple of years back [1] ... this would have made that work a whole lot easier than the painstakingly slow sourcing I had done :D
Lots of people saying "You can improve costs here!" without factoring in the developer time/learning/upkeep dollars it would take to do that. Sometimes the best solution is the one you know that will be easiest for you.
Amazingly the source code for the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 expansions was lost for years, so they've not often been included in the HD ports. Someone has (apparently) dug it up on an old hard drive [1] though a few screenshots isn't a true proof.
Knowing that a huge organization has lost such a treasured codebase has insured that I backup almost every piece of code I ever write... after 10 years of development I dip back in every now and then and look at what younger me was working on, always brings a smile to my face.
