I'm so glad they went back to the old design.

There was a point a few years back where someone did a site revamp with modern CSS and all that horrible jazz in clear attempts to monetize this incredible resource.

Happy to hear they reverted

It's only now hit me that Arducam and Arducopter/pilot are the same entity. What fantastic hardware and software (though their linux support for their mission planner raises a few eyebrows)

I bought a SynologyNAS and I have regretted already 3-4 times. Apart from the software made available from the community, there is very little one can do with this thing.

Using LE to apply SSL to services? Complicated. Non standard paths, custom distro, everything hidden (you can’t figure out where to place the ssl cert of how to restart the service, etc). Of course you will figure it out if you spent 50 hours… but why?

Don’t get me started with the old rsync version, lack of midnight commander and/or other utils.

I should have gone with something that runs proper Linux or BSD.

There are guides on how to mainline Synology NAS's to run up-to-date debian on them: https://forum.doozan.com/list.php

> If an animal is drowsy or bored, it will be less alert than when fully awake and less prepared to spring into action. "Contagious" yawning could be an instinctual signal between group members to stay alert.

> Anecdotal evidence suggests that yawning helps increase a person's alertness.

> Paratroopers have been noted to yawn during the moments before they exit their aircraft.

This is not and has never been safe.

Not ai but there was the 2017 assassination of Kim Jong-nam which was a similar situation and something which could have been organised by an ai.

Two women thought they were carrying out a harmless prank, but the substances they were instructed to use combined to form a nerve agent which killed the guy.

one even returned to scene of the crime wearing the exact same clothes she wore the day before, not understanding the implications

I'm mostly astounded that they got it to work on PS2 hardware in 2006.

Hitman:Blood Money's Mardi Gras level still stands up today

tetris11 commented on Anki ownership transferred to AnkiHub   forums.ankiweb.net/t/anki... · Posted by u/trms

I discovered Anki 12 years ago while living in Japan. I was trying my hardest and absolutely failing to remember any of the Japanese I was studying. Maybe I was due for a learning-style renaissance for myself and Anki was just the catalyst, but it really made a positive impact on my life. More than just memorizing kanji on AnkiDroid during my commute, I just started to believe I could learn anything. I was starting to take my coding hobby more seriously at the time and hacking on Anki was a big part of that too. Thanks for all the hard work Damien and David Allison. I'm so grateful for the software you've worked on.

Same for me. I was doing my PhD in another country and was just overwhelmed and disoriented at the sheer scale of information I suddenly had to remember and digest. Anki was on again/off again for me at first, but once I learned to edit and update the cards and add my own, I really began to understand how to boil concepts down into something I could remember, i.e. I could structure it to my own personal chaotic mode of thinking, and I've flourished with it since then
