I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:

Dem @FreifunkC wurde die Gemeinnützigkeit aberkannt. Das halte ich für vollkommen ungerecht. Die Unterstützer sind jetzt gefragt und auch die Presse. https://www.chemnitz.freifunk.net/ungemein-nuetzlich-ungemeinnuetzig/

#Amazon treats its warehouse workers badly, pays very little tax and tracks its users. Its #Kindle platform will delete books that people have already bought.

What's the fastest & most ethical way to do site analytics?

I removed GA from my site a year or so back but I am missing being able to see the stats.

Friends, be gentle today.

And every day.

If you struggle, know we're here for you.

If you don't struggle, understand that hearing about other people losing their battle is hard, very hard.

Even if we didn't know the person directly, we know that fight very well.

Yes! This has been a familiar scenario in past orgs I've worked in:

Marketing runs campaign --> little to no warning to engineering teams ---> engineering teams unprepared --> unhappy customers/loss of potential customers(!) --> campaign money lost --> bad look for the business https://twitter.com/gwenshap/status/1002022863480668161

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

We've been betrayed by advertising surveillance networks for so long!

The faster our hardware and connections became, the more trackers they've implemented vaccumed up. Wholly negating any societal benefit.

Hacknet Deluxe is free on the Humble Store. It looks cool.

In dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel burnout setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective. ~ Dalai Lama

Like a Kinect but with a standard webcam - impressive! Hope I can try this out for some AR demos soon 😎

So the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (formerly Spring Creators Update) is now being released, which means Progressive Web App desktop goodness! Good to see PWAs getting recognised as a top new feature by e.g. The Verge too (https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2018/4/30/17301142/microsoft-windows-10-april-2018-update-features-review)

Any hackers regardless of hat colour or team flag want to help me solve a geocache puzzle?

if yes then:
IP addr: 208.114.112.186
Key excerpt from View Source of "404 Not Found" page
<p>The requested URL <? echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?> was not found on this server.</p>
<hr><!-- warmer -->
<address>Apache/2.2.17 (Fedora) Server at 404.obarshay.com Port 80</address>
The <!-- warmer --> comment hints that this is step 1 of a possible path to "very hot."

How next to proceed to get there?
