Nice. Off topic, but does anyone know of any good IINA alternatives for Linux? I have not found anything that beats it in terms of polish. VLC is nice, but IINA does one thing really well, and is based on MPV, with all of its powerful confi

I've been keeping an eye on the pion/ion ecosystem, since I like the idea of an independent WebRTC stack that doesn't essentially bundle Chrome's implementation, and I've toyed with the idea of self-hosting a confer

The README mentions a BigBlueButton , Inc. Haven't really looked into it though.

I've been using ZeroTier for a small collection of two devices plus two servers. Honestly, the main pain points I have are UX: Android and Dashboard. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Out of curiosity, why support references, like YAML?

I'm partial to Sufficient Velocity[1], which is focused on SF and Creative Works. It's a niche space, but it's a niche space I enjoy, for all of its faults. [1]: https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com

I can't wait until I can uninstall University-mandated AV. I'm still waiting for Jumpshot to respond to my CCPA inquiry.

I too use (Mac)Vim. In my experience, most CS majors at UCSD that I've met complain about the course. On the other hand, DSC doesn't have an equivalent, which I find disappointing but understandable. Maybe it'll get one in th

You're also assuming that Midway would have fallen. Japanese amphibious doctrine frankly wasn't up to the task of taking a properly fortified Midway.

Yup. I'm a regular member of two relatively large forums focusing on SF and writing. This may be controversial, but I like the constraints of a non-branching discussion. In my opinion, unlike HN and Reddit's branching comments, li

ZeroTier is cool. With it on, I can just grab a file / test something on my laptop without needing to expose it publicly and either setup dyndns or grab my laptop's assigned IP address. I can just keep one bookmark for each serv

That may be so, but its active usage in one social group does not justify the discourtesy of its usage, especially in a professional setting.

What inspired you to make Armored Commander? I remember playing this way back when, after finding it when looking around for fun open source games. I still think I have a portable copy in my Google Drive somewhere.

If Mac, you can install them through Homebrew (Cask). Otherwise, the files are online at the Google Fonts GitHub.

I'd actually implement it as a transparent venv and use pinned versions in a requirements.txt – with hashes, of course.

If I remember correctly, the 737 either doesn't have the space for longer landing gear, or there's an issue with the longer landing gear, or both. Citation needed, of course, as this is off of memory.

This is wonderful. Hopefully, I won't need to engage in as many of the obligatory endless internship applications. Here's a some papercuts I found: some of the longer input field labels flow into the input text on my Moto G5 (&quo

Based on the email I got last week, they have a contractual obligation for old content. As for the new issues: I believe there's a standing recommendation to look for preprints or ask the authors for a copy.

I'm inclined to believe that it's the story and tradition, less the coin itself. Incidentally, Howard Tayler's Unofficial Anecdotal History of Challenge Coins is excellent. https://www.schlockmercenary.com/ass

Do power/technical users care more about branding or about features? HN users are not the majority of Firefox's users. We are not the entire target audience.

Passwords are generally stored in the system keyring, or in some system-provided secure storage. I am 95% sure Firefox just reads this. (It's also possible to CSV export from Chrome's password manager. I used this to import everyt

Honestly, at this point, I don't even use Gmail web: I just use the macOS built-in Mail app (Thunderbird unfortunately doesn't have a friendly UI). If more people switch to Firefox, this might be an additional effect: a rise in th

This is exactly why I went for a 2015 MBP instead of a newer one last year. Having a better keyboard and physical escape/function keys (plus the significantly lower price) outweighed the lack of USB C/Thunderbolt 3. This may have

I'm probably going to go to Migadu, since Lavabit support is proving to be annoyingly silent. I requested a custom domain a week ago, set up SPF/DKIM according to instructions, but have heard nothing since.

Using ytdl is easy: `youtube-dl $url` grabs the video at the highest quality. Playlists can be downloaded this way too.
