Did you actively decide against applying independent per-column scrolling? If yes, what was your train of thought?

I would take a look at other places that run their own search - https://www.marginalia.nu/marginalia-search/

How the payments industry thinks of gift cards is a relevant article by our member patio11 - [More than you want to know about gift cards](https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/more-than-you-want-to...)

While I don't have a use case for this right now, it hits a nice spot that I used to have trouble finding the right sized tool for. Your readme is also very good!

If someone comes from the `voyager` ecosystem, a similiar way easy-launching it can be achieved with [r0hitsharma/voyager-cli: Launch Voyager data exploration tool against a local data source.](https://github.com/r0hitsharma/voyager-cli)

I guess there is no way of estimating how much revenue was actually lost on people who typed in the wrong url and then didn't try again?

Without that piece of data I'm not sure if one can claim that there was a return on this investment - my assumption being that motivated buyers would still try to find the correct url.

Hi, the page doesn't load in a webkit based browser

Has anyone seen any standardized self-reported disclosure formats to indicate if any content has been autogenerated?

The parallels to organic and fair-trade certificates seem obvious here, but the direction is opposite. Such admission would indicate to the audience that a portion of what they consume has been autogenerated - which I guess is a negative or at least neutral indicator.

Reading the lead, from an European perspective, strikes me as tasteless and way too far-fetched.

> Alexis Ohanian’s ancestors perished during the Armenian genocide and had their assets seized. That generational trauma is a big reason why he’s betting heavily on NFTs and future social networks, despite crypto’s chilly winter storm.

Begs the questions why the narravites need to reach so far to make a plausible case.

I'm not a comic reader, but if anyone's interesting in the related media-theory, these two popular books should prove relevant:

- [scottmccloud.com - Understanding Comics](https://scottmccloud.com/2-print/1-uc/)

- [Ways of Seeing - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ways_of_Seeing)

I'd look into any hardware connected and try swapping it one-by-one. I wouldn't have suggested this if it wasn't for the article below:

[Corsair keyboard bug makes it type on its own, no malware involved](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/corsair-keybo...)

Do any of you share the impression that the threshold for what is passing for articles and opinion pieces barely warrants being written down? The proliferation of blogging, posting and social media seems to have left me with a feeling with slight resentment towards most written content (as it's just noise).

That's okay as I can filter that out, but I found that if I have a message to put out to the world I'm faced with an internal critic suggesting that I'm only adding to the noise, and there's not enough substance in what I'm saying. It's all just opinions, churned out way too fast.

Makes it difficult to do b2b marketing and sales.

Can anyone relate?

For linux users there's a approximation of this idea - speedcrunch

This is very clever, I haven't seen such modal conventions for translation/substitution.

I think it's quite original to have the starting point of "I'm almost good enough to write on my own" in stead of starting in the usual spot of full-auto translation pipe dream.

I occasionally use deepl to write messages in languages which I'm rusty, but the-back-and-forth between editing my final output and selecting suggestions in not smooth.

Perhaps [qarmin/czkawka: Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.](https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) and it's alternatives mentioned in the readme?

Same here, this kind of "go-getter, overachiever" tone of voice in marketing seems a bit odd to the European audience.

Before I saw this comment by the parent, my impression was that the action-packed verbs (such as crushing) indicate that the subject mater is challenging and involves hardship. This attitude seems to come from a very stress-prone perspective, which, again, is a bit alien over here.

I like jitsi, want to switch our whole organisation over.

Why did you decide to have it deployed on your own instead of using https://meet.jit.si?

I haven't been in this situation, but I observed these situations where I worked at.

Make sure there are no clauses in your contract stipulating what they can hold you accountable for, if in doubt, consult somebody with a legal background. Consider that the relationship with the old company might be tarnished no matter how well you handle this.

In general, I would:

- Ask the client company directly, not by applying via posting, but by approaching somebody high-up who knows that you're consulting for them

- Disregard any HR rules or promises, the only things that bind you are the contract (where enforceable) and law (can't comment here)

- Make sure that the fact that you were a consultant (implied temporary relationship), doesn't put you to a bad start with the new company (ie. "we don't need this guy full time, he's only taking responsibility over something small")

- Carefully plan how and when are you quitting

I found that this has been the case with all companies I worked where the founders where still high up on the totem pole but not big enough to have an external board or hire experienced managers.

I have a few pet theories

1. Survivor ship bias - only control-freaks last long enough to grow this size (let's say 10+ people working for you)

2. Once you have enough on your plate that you can't keep track of all areas of your company, you grow wary and feel the need to butt-in

3. This is cultural - low trust cultures foster control freaks
