Better link: https://opennoodle.de/ The submitted title’s framing “alternative to Google Photos and Immich” is dodgy because this is a soft fork of Immich, adding certain features, described in https://opennoodle

A lot of the ads on the field and perimeter are themselves inpainted. And becoming more and more offensive over time, with animation and flashing and such as technical capabilities improve and viewers become accustomed and don’t revolt.

The Designers Republic one arguably avoids it. Only one of its five is an icon: three are zero-padded numbers and one is a smudge where someone forgot to stamp the icon.

Printing is a good constraint against getting too long, both the physical and cost constraints. Though the Harry Potter series in full still managed to reach a million words. For another comparison, the Bible is around three quarters of a m

I see no connection whatsoever with the CSS Zen Garden dream. CSS Zen Garden was about applying radically different styles to the same markup. This is about newer CSS features like Custom Properties, Flex and Grid making maintenance of a si

Genuine question: why wouldn’t they have been doing this already? It feels like obvious low-hanging fruit on a critical path, so I presume there’s something more to it than I’m imagining.

Not much is actually UCS-2; almost all things like that are rather unvalidated UTF-16, also known as sequences of UTF-16 code units.

by chrismorgan 23d ago
Approximately nothing that uses UTF-16 validates it (I can’t think of a single thing that does), so surrogates will work fine. At least until a UTF-8 system touches it, because they normally do validate (Go is an uncommon exception in not

I’ve never used any of these tools. Please tell me that this is a grossly exaggerated parody, and that the tools don’t write like this, or do so many ridiculous things. For my sanity. (I am genuinely uncertain, though I presume it’s at le

I have seen people click on ads before—by accident, due to a terrible close button or UI shift.

If it only took 59 minutes to process millions of records, it was nowhere near as bad as it could have been. At around one millisecond per record, it sounds like you probably don’t even have any accidental quadratic time complexity on t

Not particularly well-considered opinion I’ve mulled over for a few years: Git on macOS should ignore .DS_Store and ._* by default. Would this cause any problems?

I want to hear you justify, with perfect gravity, “N/A.” being the exact same length as “None.” Pictures of handwriting or specific fonts accepted. :D

I think you’re misreading it: there are two parts to the question, “No.” answers the first part, and because of that the second part is “Not applicable.” They should have just written “No.”

I think the “not applicable” is to the elided second sentence of the question: > 3.6. Have you communicated with any of the entities whose products or services might be affected by the introduction of your proposed service? [→ No.] If s

No, it’s loading the font in JS for some reason (rather than a regular @font-face) and going out of its way to break the page if that fails, rather than ignoring it as it should. `font-family: dg` is fine, it’ll fall back to the user’s defa

Fortunately it’s easy to collapse the tree. And the mods do often override trees like this to default to collapsed.

From the code, it looks like it’s only broken if you have a browser more than about two and a half years old, JavaScript disabled, or fonts disabled. Even on HN, I would expect that to be under 5% of viewers, surely under 10%, and people
