You are on my short-list of people I look up to. Thank you!
IMHO AI-generated images are not the problem; The low effort people put in to generating them and selecting which image to go with is the problem. Spend some time on it. Find your own style.
I tried it, it started a scan but stopped after hitting the rate-limit of my account. It gave up after just a minute of retrying (rate limits are tokens per minute, so... :P). It said "Partial output was kept at <...>",…
Simple for you is not simple for me, and vice versa. 10 users with simple needs = complex software.
I'm not a jealous person. I dont want his money. But his collection of space things? Oh, I'm green with envy!
Compared to Lars, Jon was hands on, and connected with the staff and products. I think I can count on one hand the times I saw Lars eating in the canteen. The company changed a lot after that, and not necessarily for…
A good read, Martin. Hope you are doing well!
I had the pleasure of working with the people from Fastmail while they where owned by Opera Software. I had a lot of respect for how they operated their systems back then, and I'm sure it's even better today. I miss all…
During the first larger round of layoffs that happened in the "original" Opera Software, the Head of HR stood in front of the employees and managed to say something like "We are not 'downsizing', we are just…
At home, when accessing my gw, I always use "ssh foo@10.1" to access 10.0.0.1.
Personally, I think it is because search is a important revenue stream for the browsers. It makes little sense to put too much effort in to a feature that will limit the usage of the thing that earns them the most. At…
As a person "self-diagnosed" with aphantasia, I feel cheated knowing that other people have a built in cheat-sheet. No wonder why I was struggling with memorizing things like the multiplication table in school.
That page was often used at Opera Software as a example and benchmark for weird and wonderful things "web designers" throw against rendering engines :D
The Opera product you are thinking of is Opera Mini. Opera Mobile is a browser running mostly on your device (except for "turbo" which optimized media trough a proxy setup, but did not, afaik, execute any of the…
The truth is that most services will have a set of devops with access to personal information. And some times, we need to look at private data to solve issues like this. My first instinct back then was that some smart…
I worked on Opera Link, the first built-in synchronization between different installations of the Opera browser, both desktop, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile (+ a web view). Favicons got included in the data from day one,…
I'm not a chemist nor physicist nor biologist, but.. What do you mean with "inert"? I'm pretty sure most radioactive elements are quite happy to react with other chemicals, like salt water. Some of the new compounds…
Trolling, the fishing method. For me, a internet troll is a person that says something provocation hoping that someone will "bite" and waste time arguing.
The link below is to an interview where the Norwegian King is trolling(phun intended) the queen when talking about this airport/science station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXw9jGTdBy0 It's worth noting that the…
Your comment is a good example of a strawman.
I guess it depends on how strictly you define a ballistic missile. I would think most warheads have some sort of terminal guidance. The only difference is that Falcon use the engines mainly to shed speed so that it does…
We have private companies softlanding (almost) inert ICBMs on barges in the middle of the sea. I dont think this military capacity comes as a surprise to anyone... ;-)
Or maybe more fitting for this thread, listen to Joan herself; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivxkd98mDvc
If you dont mind listening to Richard himself, you can watch this pre-historic 4:3 videos on youtube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga_7j72CVlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjm8JeDKvdc
Awesome woman, and a fascinating family! I'm no expert, so excuse my ignorance: Wasn't the "origin" of auroras know long before her time? I recall reading about Kristian Birkeland's terrella experiment where he…
