Not encrypting the URLs is just such a baffling choice, i honestly don't understand how that ever happened. Also, as far as i can tell with some very basic maths based on running hashcat on my 3070, if you have a big long password on y

Does anyone else feel that gtk4 adwaita looks significantly worse than gtk3? they seem to have simply removed the gradients and it just looks half baked with only flat colours

Wind powered craft are generally powered by deflecting the wind at an angle, rather than using the wind behind them to travel forwards. It's the same reason that sailboats can move into the wind. It's very hard for me to explain w

i really like vite, my biggest complaint with it previously was that it used the incredibly slow babel in development. i'm very happy to see it's moving to swc, this will hopefully make large sveltekit projects not use all of my b

obviously this isn't a solution to the issue of scrollbars being too small, but middle click scrolling is actually pretty good if you want to scroll quickly without dragging the scrollbar

remix comes with the main caveat that if your API is slow or very far away you will end up with a slow frontend, whereas next.js prerenders pages meaning they're always going to be fast. obviously this doesn't matter that much if

running a local resolver that validates DNSSEC is all well and good for the HN crowd, but for the 99.9% of people that do not know what DNS is, let alone what a "stub resolver" is, DNSSEC would be more of a hinderance than help. a

frankly i don’t think it matters. obviously this is entirely subjective, but i can only really tell the difference between 256kbps mp3 vs flax if i directly a/b. 320kbps AAC is pretty much transparent to human ears, not only can i not

There's another option which in my case is much cheaper (and subjectively easier): buy a mazda2 for dirt cheap and only use it when you can't use public transport. Not only does it work out to be cheaper, it's also (in my o

i'd like to see how this would be achieved, putting a rail in the ground would be very expensive and overhead catenary would be hilarious (just imagine a formula 1 car with a pantograph) but equally impractical.

I'm going to be another person to recommend Fly.io. It's phenomenal: The pricing is good, the UX is good, everything just works. The GitHub action is a bit simplistic but it's more than easy enough to just make your own actio

Thought i'd like to share a quick userscript i made that does pretty much what the title says. It's a simple regex that replaces usernames prefixed with an "@" character (for example, @byhemechi) with a link to that user
