And many people ceed control of their flying to an airplane.

Do you think the people using a seeing-eye-dog do this voluntarily over using their own eyes?


Airplanes are not a species, and it’s facetious to compare boarding a flight (which requires thousands of human hours to make sure you arrive safely) to humans who walk where their dog guides them.

The statement I quoted said “zero examples of intelligent species” doing something. It took me 2 seconds to think of a counterexample. At the very least it was poorly phrased, if not altogether wrong. Moreover, whether or not people are doing it voluntarily is orthogonal to the statement.

I agree with the gist of the article, but having such a *BOLD:* _False Statement_ does not do it any favors.


Not mine, just very useful


Otus Analytics. An EU based (and full EU stack) Google Analytics/Adobe Analytics/etc. alternative. It integrates with Mistral so that you can chat about your website traffic as if you are talking to a web analyst. It also does automated weekly reports. You can go full cookieless (plausible style) or enable cookies if they you need return visitor insights (more conventional analytics style).

Having a higher price is an incentive to using the phone you have a bit longer by replacing the battery. It’s certainly better than having them be guaranteed e-waste.


We already knew marketplaces were being overrun by automated dropshippers, but it now has become blatantly obvious.

Seems even worse on the Dutch equivalent of Amazon. If you search for:

site:bol.com "hier is een verbeterde versie van"

You'll find even more examples.


I’ve built a website which will show you a random object from the massive Rijksmuseum collection. Always nice to find something you’ve never seen before!

I got tired of all the pop-up’s, long stories and accounts needed on cooking sites so I’m building a web app that helps you organize all your favorite online recipes in one place.

It also helps you discover new recipes that other users have saved.

Nice! I love using high quality images of art for some of my personal projects. Might built something similar with these like I did for the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam[1].

Very cool. How are you extracting the colors from the image? Trying to do something similar but without yielding anything I'm happy with


Thanks! Some of the artworks have the colors as part of their metadata, so I directly use those.

For a different project I’m looking in into using k-means to determine the dominant colors.


Yeah, I have a similar-ish project that I should see about about adding these images to.[1] Will have to see if they have a nice API.

Never thought I would see the release of v0.5. Congrats to all the maintainers!

Can’t wait to play with this!


Looks fun! And always nice to be able to grab the handle you want when you are one of the first to join
