  1. It’s the name of the accordion and matches how radio buttons work. If you want to distinguish them, you’ll give them different ids.
  2. From the FAQ in the "about" section of the website:

    - You can try to find Wally (Waldo), as in the well-known game Where's Wally. He is partially visible, but if you click on him, he will appear in full and wave at you.

    - Quest #1 - Mafia Treasures. To start the quest, go to the room where the Mafia is holding the annual meeting and click on the suitcase.

    - Quest #2 - Subspace Tuner: To start this quest, click on the large advertising screen that says 'Bad Signal' next to the pirate ship.

    - Payphone - you can call different subscribers on the 796th floor. Subscriber numbers are constantly being added and can be found in various places on the floor.

    - In the Police Station click on the big screen to see the project statistics: current online, visits by country, number on interactions with all elements on the floor, etc.

    - One of the arcade machines has a real game - Racer796.

    - In the park zone there is Change My Mind guy. Click on him to add your own phrase to the rotation.

    - You can compose a 10-second melody and add it to rotation by clicking on the guy in the hospital with the pink synthesizer.

    - You can draw small pixel animation and add it to rotation by clicking on the Fun Drawing Screen near the Police Station.

    - Click on the Chunk Norris in the park zone.

    - Click on the JAWS 19 ad screen in the block with Back to the Future references.

    - Click on Naruto near the pirate ship.

    - There is Free Ads Board next to the pirate ship. You can draw your own advertising screen and specify which URL it links to.

    - There are also many small interactive elements on the floor, clicking on which will show an additional picture, play a sound or cause some action to occur.

  3. My guess would be it’s to have accounts with some comment history that can be used for spam. Otherwise you’ll always be spamming from accounts with green names.
  4. “the game” is No One Lives Forever, not Doom
  5. You’re either severely overestimating the size of the mines or underestimating the size of Christmas Island. On satellite images[0]you can see where there has been phosphate mining, but it’s also very clear that it hasn’t replaced the habitat of the shrew.

  6. It has a Mediatek soc, custom roms for these chips are scarce. If you look at the supported devices on the Lineage wiki, you’ll see only 2 out of 550 devices have a Mediatek soc[0], most of them are Qualcomm.

    And iirc from the xda forums, even for Xiaomi phones with a Qualcomm soc it isn’t certain anyone will try to make a custom rom. Xiaomi just releases too many devices to have support for all of them.

  7. Really old version of Angular as well. The article uses Angular 11, the latest version is 20 (Angular has a new major version every 6 months).
  8. Ah yeah, in those cases it is possible to just use the defaults. Come to think of it, I have worked with Deno, which comes with a formatter (and linter and testing library) and I’m a fan. Saves a couple of dependencies, some config files and a bit of mental overhead when creating a new project.
  9. Which defaults? The programming languages I’ve worked with don’t have defaults for everything related to formatting. Editor defaults don’t work, since not everybody uses the same editor. So you have to make a choice somewhere.
  10. In The Netherlands you can buy prepaid sims without any kind of identification.
  11. It doesn’t. The comment you’re replying to is referring to tsx, the package that lets you execute ts files, not to running files with the tsx extension.

  12. > Nobody thinks twice in Europe about eating any raw vegetable, fruit, eggs, heck even raw fish or beef in carpaccio.

    This is one of the weirder “everybody/nobody in Europe does x” claims I’ve seen. There’s no way you know what the fast majority of Europeans think and I know many Europeans who absolutely do avoid eating raw eggs.

  13. Pointing out that WhatsApp was used to spread misinformation before Brazilian elections under the header “Ethical issues with WhatsApp” seems weird to me.

    According to the Guardian article[0] this article uses as a source, WhatsApp has had updates to limit the number of times messages can be forwarded. But there’s obviously a limit to what can be done because the chats are e2e encrypted.

    What does the author want from WhatsApp? Reading messages and blocking them if they don’t pass Meta’s moral guidelines is the opposite of want you’d want from your private chats and I don’t see any other way to effectively combat spreading misinformation.

    And is there any indication that Signal would prevent situations like this if it gets more widely used?

  14. I would be happy with that. After years of using iOS with the current design it still takes me a few moments before I’ve found the Photos app with its meaningless icon that looks way too much like some other icons.
  15. > This is either not the cost price or relies on people not using their subscription, otherwise you could never recoup R&D costs. It seems pretty save to assume that the average user will search less than 300 times when 300 is the limit. It’s of course possible for users to search exactly 300 each month before they stop searching or use an other provider, but my guess is that most people who regularly hit that limit will either stop using Kagi or move to a more expensive plan.

    And that €54/$54 is the price when you pay per year, if you pay per month you’re paying more per search (although at least part of that extra money will go towards handling the payments)

  16. But the same can be achieved by using css. Then there's still nothing to install, and it's still something you can change by just opening a text editor. Plus it would be easy to update in the sense your parent poster meant. And with css you're using the right tools to style your website, so you won't have people complaining the website isn't working well on mobile, although you thought it would be.

    I'm all for using simple tools and web standards, but this website with its layout build with tables is a terrible example.

  17. That logical check only makes sense if you assume that the users of Google analytics are people visiting websites. But that’s obviously not the case here Google Analytics is added a website by whoever runs that website, and they very much did enable it.
  18. If I search on that page for “Ancôoidions” or “convunced” I don’t get any results.
  19. I haven’t really used the iPad’s calculator app, but it looks exactly like a larger version of the iPhone app. So I don’t think there are any technical reasons why it took so long for the iPad to get that app.
  20. The plural version is still available. Might be worth it to buy that one.
  21. > If I make 0 searches, why do I need to pay? Do you ever have months in which you don’t use a search engine at all? If so you might just not be the target audience.
  22. The GitHub release seems to have the final notes. It has at least the placeholder texts replaced:

    > It is the result of 11 months of development since the last feature release and is the work of 212 contributors spread over 1078 pull requests

    instead of:

    > It is the result of X months of development since the last feature release by Y contributors

  23. I don’t think John Carmack will gain much knowledge by studying a game engine.
  24. That’s fast :) Do you get notified when someone mentions your product, or are you _that_ active?
  25. Yemen has been in the news lately, because of its location. Ships have been avoiding the Red Sea because people in Yemen were firing rockets at them.
  26. Wait for the browser to become open source I assume, which is supposed to happen sometime in the future.

    > Is Orion open-source?

    > We’re working on it! We’ve begun with some of our components and intend to open more in the future.
