> Dubai is comically ill-equipped to deal with rainfall.

Isn't that more scary?

Also ill-equipped to deal with human waste.

It's as scary as you'd expect from a castle in the sand

No not really. If rainfall events are rare enough. It is like snow. Being equipped is trivial and no challenge at all. Still many locations fail to do it.

I recently made something similar. I started with the same foundation you currently have (aim to make "neutral" and "de-sensationalized") but ultimately narrowed my focus exclusively to Developer news (since I couldn't achieve desired results). There were always something amiss.

I had worked on something similar around 11-12 years back ( no way close to perfect or of any use :) ) https://github.com/nautical/CBullet

Basically you can do something like this in c :

var value;

value = data(100);

// or

value = data(0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

Apple does not allow access to iCloud services through any automated script, scraper, or similar means [1]. Are you sure you're complying with these terms? As a customer, it's important to consider this (think of the Beeper case).

[1] https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/

>i. interfere with or disrupt the Service (including accessing the Service through any automated means, like scripts or web crawlers), or any servers or networks connected to the Service, or any policies, requirements or regulations of networks connected to the Service (including any unauthorized access to, use or monitoring of data or traffic thereon);

Right, thanks for sharing your concerns. Quotion didn't use scripts to scrape notes with iCloud API, although I did dig into that direction, but it's a dead end.

Looks like it! Even code quality has dropped 'significantly.' I used it once in a while to clean up the code after writing a POC. It used to do decent work before, but now I almost always can't use the code generated at first shot.

Brilliant ! If you could also add a "time" node , it would even allow for some basic animations. Lovely project overall.

That is a nice idea! The tricky part is going to be how to integrate animations without having to rebuild the entire mesh every frame... Though, I think it would be very easy to export a skeleton from the generator and then use that to animate the plant.

Yes even the original author of tweet acknowledges it https://twitter.com/vishnuhx/status/1727796397150224518

One good thing that has come out of this is that I have reduced my time on YouTube to nearly zero in the past two weeks.

Same. I personally end up enjoying those user-hostile changes when they happen because they almost always result in my own time spent on those platforms decreasing.

I've basically left Twitter after recent changes. Reddit is down to a fraction of what used to be a couple years ago (too aggressive on mobile, I just give up reading it).

YouTube was one thing that I used a lot, not always for productive or educational videos. I'll probably just watch a YouTube video from now on when it is really something interesting. Which is good.

Ever since Youtube killed Vanced a few months ago, I've pretty much reduced my time on that web site to NFL Sunday Ticket. If it becomes impossible to watch that without disabling an adblocker, I'll cancel it, save about $450 or so a year and find other ways to watch the Ravens in Philly like I used to do when Sunday Ticket was exclusive to DirecTV.

Maybe that's exactly what YT wants—get rid of users who won't pay to save costs. I know some banks also do this.

Another good thing is that they're getting even more people to use proper adblocking addons and browsers.

I would definitely take it with a grain of salt. The ruling party in Punjab is from AAP. The author seems to have written article without complete facts in hand.

And before that it was Congress. Bjp (modi's party) has not been in power in punjab since 2017, when it was the minor partner in a coalition govt with shiromani akali dal.

Not only this, but sometimes the RAM usage spikes if I open Youtube in Firefox with uBlock enabled. I have noticed this only for this combo "Youtube + FF + uBlock" on my Mac, specially in last week. Before that I rarely saw my FF freezing.
