This is a thing on private tracker websites, at least Gazelle based ones. You can give a custom URL to load CSS from. Not sure I've used any other websites that allow you to do this, though I wish there were more that did. I think t

Wow this is pretty amazing... I imagine your proxy bill must be pretty huge! I always wondered how companies like Clearview scraped Instagram etc at scale. Do you add user to a queue, get all of that users posts, then add everyone they fo

40 lines of C to control brightness on Linux in the way I like (Pressing brightness up key should make it go up more than pressing brightness down key makes it go down). It took 20 minutes to make. Used as a keyboard binding. TODO list pr

I don't think I'd have the stomach to spend a year writing something that I think is really good only for it to end up on libgen a couple days later.

I would've never used Linux and probably wouldn't have got into programming without https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723be (it took like five or six years to get mainlined). He's a hero.

Yeah I can do pretty much all of those. I'd prefer being able to do this sort of thing with images though :\

I, a random HN user, can personally attest to having never pictured anything and being a 5 in the sense of this image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/Aphantas... And apparently they

OK maybe I'm just jealous. I've only asked my siblings about this but none of them see anything either.

I don't see anything. I feel like we're talking past each other. I am skeptical that "visualize an apple" to some people gets them the mental equivalent of a Blender model where they get a 360 degree view of the image

Some users comment frequently and uniquely enough that they get their own cluster. I also like how there's "Deno vs Node" lol. It'd be cool if you could click on a comment and get the most similar ones by whatever dist

Tradle is too easy. I want a version where you have to guess by imports.

Everything is outsourced to the compositor. It's insane. Same reason there's no xbindkeys for Wayland - every compositor needs to implement their own version of it. Every compositor needs their own screen reader and accessibili

> So Alexander likely inherited a fully-formed invasion plan as well, though I suspect it only went as far as detaching western Asia Minor from the Achaemenids, not the whole empire. And upon rereading, the article says this as well whic

There's stuff like this littered throughout the article: > Alexander invents no new tactics and employs only one clever ruse in this whole set of battles. And ascribing a lot to Philip's people like Antipater. Which I dispute.

by costco 2y ago
OK I was wrong in some respects. Philip was undoubtedly very smart. I guess my broader point is that planning to do it and actually doing it are different things. Like Alexander sieged Tyre which was pretty much thought to be impossible.

I haven't read nearly as much as the author but having read the Peter Green book on Alexander a while ago, I agree with the general premise of the article but have a few reservations. Maybe I'm wrong, I read the parts of the book

I don't see any mention of GoDaddy being hacked with Ebury in the ESET report or the Ars article.

Reddit has by far the worst antibot protections of all the major social media sites. For starters you can register with an account using a mobile API endpoint with no email or captcha at all and the only reason this isn't widely used

It seems like Sicily is an experiment in what happens when you let a few thousand people intimidate the rest of society into letting them cut in line and cheat on a grand scale. I bet the average person's cost of living and taxes are

People are less motivated by these sorts of systems if they know the money will go to charity because giving to charity feels good. See https://blog.beeminder.com/anticharity

The artists themselves are usually coauthors with other people they collaborate with. I'm not aware of a modern day figure with an analogous role to one someone like Irving Berlin had at the time. The songs that chart today are lyric

It's because the singer and songwriter are no longer distinct. Pop used to mean a beautiful new rendition of an Irving Berlin or Cole Porter song. Or a hitherto underappreciated song like "Mack the Knife." Now everyone&#x2

Payola is illegal now, and it's funny that you even bring it up in this context because there was a time when payola was one of the only ways that independent labels could actually get music on air. It circumvented the overlords. The

Anyone have any idea what the code in the malicious liblzma_la-crc64-fast.o is actually doing? It's difficult to follow statically.

Congrats. Do you have any regrets about outsourcing lifting to the QEMU TCG or has it worked well?

Widevine has already been reverse engineered. You just need to extract a device private key and there are numerous methods for doing so. "Web Environment Integrity" will never work.
