Barely related tangent - but the speed of how quickly this site populated the full list of all these UUIDs (it's likely static) made me remember this site https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html which seems to programmatically generate the page every single time (are there that many new emojis that this is needed) and as a result the page takes minutes to load (I've never let it finish).

I had an identical experience: in my area all of the comments were disparaging ethnic groups and having lived here my entire life the specific groups targeted were not even accurate.
To me it feels like a place to vent about an "other" you suspect may or may not be there.
Thanks - I actually used cactus and llama years ago when I got interested in playing diablo 2 again and it was really cool to try out the older versions of the game and to play around with the larger stash.
Curious - I remember thinking about this a few times after using it - I don't see the binaries in git anymore, was this done for performance reasons or did Blizzard reach out?
I have the Hayes 1200 external mint in box, if anyone wants to buy it, please email ne.
Too late. Just last month we had to get one off of eBay in order to replace a dead one attached to a computer that, for legal reasons, cannot be upgraded.†
† Not being upgradable is one of the reasons it's isolated behind a dialup modem and not connected to the company's network. Some day I'll have to write a blog post about how a group of local politicians can write a law that ends up having that effect.

I would love to read about this :)
The X Window System was basically the wrong bet on how GUIs and computer hardware would evolve. Its client/server architecture was the opposite of the highly integrated graphics processing model we ended up with.
Instead of cutting its losses early and dumping X11, both the Unix vendors and open source spent far too long trying to make lemonade out of a truckload of rotten lemons. And that’s why Linux GUIs are so far behind.
It’s notable how rapidly Apple was able to evolve their Unix GUI because they were not tied to X11 and instead embraced the integrated model, even designing their own GPUs nowadays.
Tangential - I just watched this and found it very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-N-fgKWYGU
Really bad UI. Clicking on the placeholder text in the textbox doesn't do anything. I thought it was broken until I just starting clicking randomly and found that clicking outside the placeholder text works.
I agree that clicking on what appears to be a placeholder but instead acts as a label should at the very least focus the input box so you're prompted to type in it. However the UI overall is pretty simple and clean.
This isn't much more than the original twitter post: https://nitter.net/SeanSafyre/status/1744138937239822685
The most astonishing thing to me is the destroyed charger cable.
Also a good reminder that it's a very good idea to have the screen lock after a set time — even if it's long.

It's wild to me especially with how important the device itself and email the device has access to can be that someone in 2024 did not have a screen lock enabled.

Seems like there's a bug in the implementation, mine has some boxes floating on top of each other with big gaps.
Neat idea though!
Yeah if you give it the dimensions of a standard gaylord (48x40) it tries to stack the boxes in a really strange way with smaller boxes occupying the space below larger boxes and causing some boxes to float. I wonder if additional metadata is needed such as (1) box weight (2) resistance to being crushed and (3) priority (not sure if this is relevant when shipping but it will decide which boxes don't "fit" on its own).
pixel 6 and 7 have severly weak fingerprint sensors, they overheat, and have basic telephone connectivity issues. its unfortunate not to see any of these basic table stakes addressed and instead just get a dog and pony show for the camera software and how it can produce fake photos
> and have basic telephone connectivity issues
This turned me off to Pixel phones indefinitely. I got the Pixel 6 Pro and it could not figure out what it should be connected to: WiFi, 5G, or 4G and of course rather than just choosing one it decided to not have any connection whatsoever unless I moved a few hundred feet to a different location or rebooted the phone. There was lots of discussion around this and youtubers even covered it but rather than fix the issue Google focused on releasing the next phone.
I am, thank you for asking.
It has been two years of hell but most of the heart stuff has largely gone away with time.
Good to hear. I was in the ER in March 2020 initially because I thought I was having a heart attack but ultimately with what I assume was COVID. It's been a journey but I am doing much better now too. For about 2 years I had bad palpitations too but they've mostly gone away and the fatigue is beginning to subside.
One thing I noticed which might have been completely anecdotal but I felt like my first vaccine jumpstarted my recovery. If you don't mind me asking: if you got the vaccine did you notice the same?
