Are we back!?

Back again.

How many of you type something out to post, but then decide it's best not to hit enter?
☝️ Jean-David Moisan
From time to time.

What programming language did you use? I replaced GoAccess with my own log parser: github.com/lucianm... - 4x faster.
☝️ Jean-David Moisan
I'm using C# with MonoGame. I'm pushing my code here: github.com/Apostol...

Another day goes by. What did you do?

I'm working on a tweening animation library: gfycat.com/shortte...

Firefox brand is weak, it's associated with IE era and it's dropping market share like crazy. Mozilla brand got a nice refresh, it's trusted, it's associated with privacy and they got new good products that need to carry Mozilla brand. It should be Mozilla Suite for a new internet age: Mozilla Browser, Mozilla VPN, Mozilla Monitor and so on. This way the browser will be their main product, it will have internal focus and probably gain back the market share.

That's really interesting! Though I don't really associate Firefox with those other products. Makes the browser seem bloated. I disable all the extras that I can.

Mozilla should rename Firefox back to Mozilla while it's not to late.
☝️ Jean-David Moisan
Why should it get renamed?

Should I believe GoAccess when it says that Subreply gets ~1500 daily unique visitors?
☝️ Jean-David Moisan
It's definitely hard to believe. I guess it's possible if most people lurk without any account. We have around ~50 active people otherwise. Might be bots browsing the site?

Let's do it. This weekend I will try to merge threads and replies in a single feed and do the same for profiles. Discover is the most visited page.

The other pages like trending don't really make sense to me since they barely change over the weeks.

That's really cool! Are you going to use it for something or is it just for fun? Also, can it go around both boxes at once?

I'm using it for my game, the controls are like StarCraft or League of Legends where you click somewhere to make your character move there. --- Here is how the algorithm looks when it's searching for a path. gfycat.com/wellgro... This all happens instantly.

I've been recoding my free space pathfinding algorithm. It's so cool! gfycat.com/unhappy...

I created lucianmarin.com/num in a few hours. It displays math expression result on the right for each line. You can assign expressions to variables. Should it be an Electron app?

Do you have a repo for it on GitHub?
😃 Javier
It will if you have a cow on a volatile. ;) quantamagazine.org...

I'm starting college in a few months. Does anyone here have advice for anything?
☝️ Jean-David Moisan
What are you going to study?

When I work with kids, I'm told that I have patience with them. I don't feel like I'm doing anything out of the ordinary, just treating a kid how they need to be treated. If people go out of their way to praise that quality, then it must be a rare quality. That's scary.
☝️ Jean-David Moisan
That's something I notice too in general.
🏒 Lucian Marin
You can bring back to life a thread from years ago.

Summer update: improved stability by upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, a compact layout for replies and a new algorithm for trending to bring active threads to surface.
☝️ Jean-David Moisan
How are new threads getting brought up? I don't think I can notice a difference.
