This is neat! Commenting to see my own.

Tried "Create Room" to see what was up. Denied microphone permission because I just wanted to look around and it doesn't need it for that—there won't even be anyone else in the room, right? Even if there were, I wouldn't say anything. Tells me I can't get in without enabling microphone.

What's with the push to these virtual working spaces? I've had some exposure to earlier ones (which look basically identical to this new wave, looking over the very limited info on this landing page) and they're the worst. Awkward, and eat tons of system resources for no benefit over a text or video chat.
I was able to enter a room I created without allowing microphone access.

I created a simple Firefox extension to skip Google’s search result redirect.
I was motivated after the redirect page “hung” several times in one day, and I didn’t fully trust some of the existing extensions.

johnnyRose commented on Irish webapp to recreate pub atmosphere at home soundsofthepub.com/... · Posted by u/arazy
This is a lot of fun! Definitely makes me miss my favorite Irish pub (located in the Midwest).
Nit: I wish the traditional music cycled between a few different songs. What's provided is pretty repetitive, and is already stuck in my head.

Why not (assuming that every entry has a unique ID) add a “next_id” field, and treat it like a linked list?
I used this approach as part of a personal learning project. It ended up working very well because I was using Mongo, so I could just use $graphLookup with an index on the next ID.
It was definitely fast enough for my purposes, sorting about 30k items in 3 different linked lists in just a second or two. The function allows you to limit your depth or modify your starting location in the linked list (graph) which opens a lot of possibilities and/or performance improvements when only loading the first N records.
Hello! My team is currently creating microservices written in .NET Core. A lot of my teammates don't commit appsettings in their .NET Core microservices, opting instead to simply commit changes to our docker-compose file. This is fine until we need to debug something, and then it becomes painful to manually map the environment variables from the docker-compose file over to appsettings.development.json. I created this to make my life a little bit easier, and hopefully it helps some other folks too!
It's not perfect, and won't support every possible format for docker-compose environment variables (block scalars, for example), which seemed a little overkill for a weekend project.
I'm definitely open to feedback and suggestions! Thanks!
But what is the need for Tor outside of illegal activity?
Plenty of reasons. The most obvious use that comes to mind is to avert government censorship. Then there are whistleblowers. There are more reasons to desire anonymity than illegal activity.

Nice tool, I'd love to try it. Is your sign-up broken? It just comes back with an empty red alert.
