They have a shiny file system abstraction, but ever since they introduced that, they have allowed downloading arbitrary files into it AFAIK.

Disclosure: I wrote this. I don't think I've ever posted on HN. I looked through the FAQ. Hopefully this isn't breaking any rules!

Any possibility this is user-submitted panoramas, and maybe they don't charge for those?

The Pudding is one of the best things on the internet today.

`position-area` syntax feels a little tough to remember, but I'm glad top/right/bottom/left is still available.

That's fine for a lot of stuff. It becomes tricky to do certain other things. CSS-only tooltips are notoriously limited in scope.

Are you logged in? They’re only blocking suspicious bot like traffic on VPN. Logged in accounts can still use it over VPN.

Old versions of Reddit (in Python IIRC) were open source. They just stopped updating it.

Just type “no” in search and it should be one of the top options.

It’s not uncommon for VP to be a lower level exec title at massive companies like Apple.

They’re not low tier by any stretch compared to most employees. They’re still high level leaders.

Antrikshy — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 02:24:34 +0000

I’ve never understood what everyone’s issue with PDF is.

It’s like digital, printed paper. Part of the reason is pretty much ubiquitous compatibility.

If it needs to be edited, just don’t print it on digital paper. Does the format have other issues?

New comment by Antrikshy in "Netlify just sent me a $104k bill for a simple static site"

Antrikshy — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 20:20:09 +0000

There's good discussion on this here, and on Reddit.

In addition to all of that, the real moral of the story is to not use anything with dynamic billing for personal projects, even if there is a free tier. Always ensure that the free tier does not automatically turn into a paid tier.

That said, I've never used Netlify, so I don't know how they present this service at the time of signing up.

GitHub Pages is great for static sites, and included Jekyll build support is a bonus.

TIL! Fortunately, my state (Washington) is on the list. Unclear when it will be ready for use. Anyone know? I just signed up for their newsletter.

Would be perfect with a brief explanation of what this is and how to use the generated profile.

People who need profiles probably have better dedicated tools for the job. This website could be a nice educational resource for people who are unfamiliar but curious; it's just missing an explainer.

They'd either have been hired as a remote employee, or with an expectation to come to the office at some point. If that wasn't communicated, something went wrong at the time of hiring.

Pretty sure Amazon has always had virtual employees, and you should be able to request to switch, possibly with impact on your pay.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I'd like to see movies use HFR like some movies use the IMAX aspect ratio.

Imagine Spider-Man: Far From Home in 24 fps, except it transitions to 48 fps in the Mysterio illusion scenes. Granted, this would spoil some moments in the movie, so it's not the perfect example.

I wish Avatar: TWoW was entirely 48 fps, OR it handled transitions better, like keeping it consistent across entire scenes.

I haven't seen this movie, but I could see that. There are definitely some movies that use this quality as a part of their setting. See: Gunpowder Milkshake.

It may just be confirmation bias, but I've been noticing this with some scenes set in the outdoors shot in front of LED walls. They have almost too beautifully perfect, almost colorful lighting conditions.

Examples that come to mind right now:

1. Scene in The Batman where Bruce and Selina have a moment in the under construction tower at golden hour. Maybe some other scenes in that movie too. 2. The entire opening sequence in Thor: Love and Thunder.
