I hadn’t seen this until a few days ago. Amazing, horrifying film like nothing I’ve seen before. It is said to be the first film to deal directly and realistically with the idea of nuclear war and what it would mean.

Roger Ebert said this was “one of the most skillful documentary films ever made.”

I was excited to see it freely available (legally) on YouTube, so I wanted to share it with HN.

This is a cool idea and something perfect for Cloudflare. Looks like a setting you can turn on that limits the number of people who can access your Cloudflare proxyed app, and puts the other people in a Cloudflare-hosted “waiting room” queue.

Smart and much needed to shield these random city / hospital COVID vaccine reservation websites!

Wow, this seriously blew my mind. The tl;dr is that the area surrounding New Zealand (“Zelandia”) is arguably / was a continent. Fascinating!

If you like interactive guides like this, I just found this game to better learn flexbox. Surprisingly fun—
