That depends on whether you treat “limericks” as a trochee (long-short, i.e. “lim-ricks”) or a dactyl (long-short-short, i.e. “lim-er-icks”).

Sounds to me like lawyers got wind of it and were worried that NVIDIA might sue them because they paid to have it made. They would likely be concerned about this whether or not NVIDIA had a case.

I’m already on an independent git forge, so I have that covered.

I only read the protocol document and skimmed the guide, so I didn’t see the cryptocurrency angle of the funding company. Yeah, that’s a bit of a warning sign.

Um… It’s literally hosting itself, complete with issues and PRs (which they call patches). So to me it seems to replace a forge.

For private repos, it could be quite a good fit. No need for other contributors/users.

I was looking for something like this as a private alternative to GitHub/GitLab last month. Awesome to stumble across this.

In fact, Lord Rutherford said that “ALL models are wrong, but some are useful” 🙂

TIL about Rainmeter. This thread has done some good, beyond the obvious good of mocking Dev Home.

IIRC, most legal scholars believe that shrinking the court doesn’t get rid of existing justices as they are appointed for life. It simply prevents the appointment of new ones.

I tried to switch to Tidal, but I found their app not as good, their integration with Sonos lacking, and no parental controls, which is important to me. Music selection was pretty good. A lot of niche stuff isn’t there, sadly. For example I sometimes listen to college acapella groups, and there just isn’t as much there. All the popular music is there though.

IMO since the app is Louis’ project that is primarily being financed by donating his personal money to FUTO (AFAICT)

For clarity, FUTO is privately funded by an independently wealthy person, not Louis. Louis is an employee who believes in the mission.

I mean, you got my upvote already, but one big reason is that Robertson wanted to control all the manufacturing of the screws and the bits. Phillips licensed his patent out and let anyone make them just taking a tiny licensing fee. Made a fortune on volume. Robertson: good engineer, bad businessman.

I don’t fully agree with these, but these are the cases I’ve heard of:

• Deeper integration with webcams
• USB authentication devices like Yubikeys

I think these are better served with extensions or specific browser protocols that communicate with native apps in order to keep the crazy web world more isolated from the high-value computer world, but what do I know? My guess is that someone at Google went “You know, we’re creating a lot of these specific protocols to communicate with webcams, printers, and now we want to do authentication dongles. You know what? They all use USB? Why don’t we just create a general way to access USB?”

In the immortal words of Dr. Ian Malcolm:

There’s the topic of this conversation, WebUSB. I happen to believe that a missing feature here for Firefox is a good thing, mind you…
