It's hard to get that point because you're conflating two different stories.

Folks around here are generally uneasy about tracking in general too, but remove big brother monitoring from Safe Browsing and this story could still be the same: whole domain blacklisted by Google, only due to manual reporting instead.

"Oh, but a human reviewer would've known `*.statichost.eu` isn't managed by us"—not in a lot of cases, not really.

How are you measuring this? I'm surprised the Web Audio API scheduling system has that much insight into the hardware latency.

How does one move with the mouse? I could only find gestures for rotation and zoom; for movement I had to resort to manually entering coordinates in the settings.

This only happens in "proper" tables. When you add a formula to a table column, Excel will automatically convert it into a "calculated column," so overridden values will have a green mark denoting an "inconsistent formula."

It's still a pretty minor warning and it only requires two clicks to ignore.

From the submission (the repo's readme):

> We got a takedown request by openai's legal team...

Did Github take a separate action somewhere?

It shouldn't matter if it's a fast desktop or slow mobile (unless it's not keeping up, which is unlikely in these examples); what matters is the display rate on these devices. The demos feel very fast in a 250Hz monitor when compared to a 60Hz one.

A feature that deserves its own bullet imo: Wifi sync. I suppose it's akin to Keepass+Syncthing but integrated into all clients.

I used Google Drive/OneDrive in the past but a few times vaults would get into a broken state where they couldn't connect to the provider anymore and I had to manually re-connect. It was always able to smoothly recover and sync, but I had no confidence I was synced at any given moment.

I jumped on Wifi Sync as soon as they launched it and haven't looked back—as long as I'm on the same network once in a while, everything is in sync.

Sometimes I get an itch to try the open-source/Keepass route again, especially since it seems to be much improved, but Enpass is convenient for now.

The right operator for unit conversions is "in." "to" is used for ranges, so it's doing 100 euros _goes to_ 1 us dollar and giving you back the answer in dollars.

But it seems the parser is breaking when trying to do the inverse, anyway: "100 usd in eur" seems to do "e*ur" and gives "Values must be converted to units."

Did you consider Deno as misleading?

The fact it states it's powered by JSC before even mentioning Zig makes it pretty clear, imo.

I don't think 1.0 releases deserve the same treatment as 1.3.2 Beta 1.

The SNI here is that Tauri has hit stable, an information that does change how a lot of people would approach it.

I might need an even longer explanation, though, because I don't get it still. There are projects like Blender which were allowed to the front page like 5+ times in the past year, exclusively with posts about new releases. The discussions always hit the same notes. Why is that any different?
