I want to thank my father for giving in and purchasing Fable for me when it hit the shelves. Fable II was my favourite, a fantastic game.

You namedrop three(?) artists and insinuate something about two legal frameworks - but provides no arguments or context why they should've been a natural inclusion in the article or how your critique relates to it.

Is that.. yes, a low value comment.

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /

It can be argued that if you are a server operator, you always know which User-agents are making requests to your resources.

"You're likely to stay in the social class you were born into" - is basically what the predictor means.

It's where I'm from as well, and as a young kid, me and friends would visit the houses in the village at the date mentioned, and receive candy (or else!). It's very similar to the trick or treat tradition during Halloween.

Spotify will only repeat a song during shuffle if you also activate repeat. It will also repeat a song if you actually added the song twice or more to said playlist. You can try it out by shuffling a playlist+deactivate repeat then check which songs have been queued from start to finish.

Smart Shuffle -despite the name- is more a playlist function than a shuffle function. It's like the Radio playlists but with the songs interspersed temporarily in your own playlist. Note that these songs were not already in your playlist - so they do not repeat unless you activate repeat.

In my opinion, it's consideration as unsafe isn't intended literally. It has more to do with:

- The human error aspect of understanding and tightly implementing CSP,

- Separating style and JS into their own files provides some security as is (and allows ignorance of CSP to continue even though it has it's use case here as well).

Now, if your company takes this pretty seriously, they likely require that CSP should be part of your security process already. If that's the case, any use of unsafe inline in your markup will be blocked by default until concrete steps are taken to have nonce or hash in place.

Edit: I did not intend to sound harsh - just wanted to chip in about the nuances about the possibilites we are provided :)

I named my project panopticon inspired by the original idea.

On the other hand, I don't think it's application on humans is ethical nor effective, but for devices, maybe.

IIRC we displayed our office calendar on it, among other things.

On the other hand, the screens in the article seems to have made away completely with the glass, leading to completely opaque, black rectangles if they are not running. What a mess.

I have a few dreams that are like a long running TV show, suddenly I'm in this certain universe and the plot continues, even though it's been a few years. In a single sleeping session it's often the rule that dreams continue even if I wake up in the middle. It's so consistent that waking up from a nice dream doesn't mean it's lost but gives me something to look forward to.

Lucid dreaming in my experience is very much an Inception-like (the film) experience. Once you have "woken", there's a fine line between controlling the dream, and the dream noticing what you're up to, eventually booting you from the matrix.

For something more on topic and for anyone that will be experiencing a lucid dream in the future: Take a moment to really appreciate the extreme level of graphics, and other senses the mind can render.

If you've ever had a dream with vivid first person eyesight (like most people during dreams) then it's easy to see that we should be very capable of producing high quality visuals without external stimuli.

I've been practicing on this kind of thing as it's a technique for dropping into a lucid dream. In my case, I manage to find some kind of repeat pattern in the visual random noise of my closed eyes. Slowly and consciously I manage to see clouds or waves on an open sea, maybe add color. Then I can try something more advanced. If going to sleep, these images get more vivid and might classify for something called hypnagogic hallucinations[0], but then it's not quite the same level of conscious involvement steering what to see. In any case, it's nowhere near what I'd imagine as useful for an on-site photo session, more like a high effort meditation.

What's fun though is that 'farbror' can also be used (in Swedish) for any neutral/kindly spirited or acquainted old man, so maybe we're not too practical after all.
