I was having roughly the same thought. I thought to myself, this is something my son would produce, and I'd be super proud, and see through the 90's/Yahoo-ish style.

Then I saw the date of the last update: http://www.hawaiihighways.com/what's-new.htm So comprehensive!


I like this solution better, no bash running a string command.

Could easily prefix eventually_succeeds with timeout.


A bit of a nostalgic read, I bet everyone remembers the first time they tried ChatGPT-4, and the conversations about it at gatherings/BBQs.

But I don't feel like it's gotten any better, if anything I feel like it's been "dumbed-down" a bit (possibly from added safeguards/censorship).

AI coding assistants (e.g. Co-Pilot) has made me a more productive developer, but only in the sense that I type less boiler plate (or ceremony code).

No, and no. Never tried it. Nobody in my circles does.

The AI hype bubble illustrated.

People who keep telling me I will be left behind keep not producing all this amazing, flawless, refined software that AI was supposed to build.


> allow for the formulation of better sources of protein

I don't think the "National Cattleman’s Beef Association" wants that, just to know that beef>Soy is enough.


I wonder if using mouthwash that kills "99%" bacteria make this product useless over time?

Also, does using mouthwash daily negate the need for this product?


Brushing, flossing, and mouthwash doesn't kill all of the bacteria in your mouth. Your entire mouth is coated with a biofilm... and after cleaning, your mouth gets recolonized by bacteria from between your teeth, beneath the gums, plaque, and other small crevices in your mouth.


In their application instructions they mention that rinses such as chlorhexidine might eliminate the new bacteria:

Probably, but the difference I see is that single application of this product is enough (as opposed to buying mouthwash and other stuff that's often discussed here like toothpaste with Novamin for the rest of your life).


I mean, weren't you going to buy mouthwash anyway...?


I'd hope not. I mean, what would be the point? Get your mouth colonized by this "harmless" bacteria and then kill it?


Fix my bad-smelling breath, which I am guessing this stuff doesn't fix.



Thanks - interesting talk


Just like that time my taxi driver was telling me about "investing" in Bitcoin


Thanks for the links. PCjs is amazing!


According to their Status page it's all resolved: https://status.flyio.net/


According to the Status page, there was never an issue to begin with


Sounds like a good idea.

I wonder how easy it would be to write your own App for it, as it is missing a few I can't live without (Signal and WhatsApp)
