Would be two lists for me. One for “best”, as in they were great, gave me joy or strong emotional responses, but their replay value is not great:
“Best” as in can’t get enough of it and would take to a remote island:
Ansible is one way to “code local, push to remote(s)”. Can define so-called playbooks, which is basically just a script, to do reoccuring tasks like e.g. updates.
OK, following scenario: you forgot to drink the verification can for your heater, but you’re on vacation. So the house gets cold and your goldfish are about to die of cold.
You dial in your Smart Fish Feeder™ to increase their rations, so that they can build up some fat. But then they’re unhealthy, and your Smart Fish Feeder™ dropped its Wifi connection anyway.
Instead you dial in your Smart Fridge™ and lower its temperature, so that it functions as a space heater now. Your fish are safe now.
But now your Smart Lock™ opens for safety reasons, as it misinterprets the sudden rise in temperature as a house fire.
When you come home your goldfish left to buy some cigarettes but never came home.
So, a very crucial feature, I’d say.
Stickerbrush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2 is still goosebumps territory.
And so many awesome remixes etc.
to get users we need stuff, and for stuff we need creators, and for creators we need users
Don’t know. When YouTube started, there were creators, but no users and no way to monetize. Problem is, we are so used to the high production value on YouTube, where people can (and more often than not hope to) make money, so we don’t give the poor production value videos a chance anymore. But we watched that 140p video back then, because there was nothing else and it was interesting.
I never get this take. Like, back in the day it also wasn’t my job to pack the groceries into a cart and haul them to the cashier. You entered a store, like a lot of pharmacies still work today, there was a clerk behind a desk and you told them “I’d like three ounces of flour, 4 eggs and a litre of milk”, they fetched it for you. So, where are the complaints that walking through a big store “is not my job”?
Everybody is like “no, a store is juuust right, when it works like in my childhood. Everything else is against the order of the world!”
I completely understand all the other, technical, cultural, issues one can have with a self-checkout, but this “not my job” attitude weirds me out, somehow.
