Man, the negativity in here is unreal! I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for writing this, and I feel seen. It describes my daily feelings to a T. I see open source projects with their great test coverage and their principled refacto

It doesn’t make sounds on my mobile Chrome either (iOS) but I’ve noticed other sites don’t either. I’m guessing there’s a setting somewhere that I denied once long ago and now it can’t play sounds :/ If anyone knows what that might be

Oh man! Thank you for posting this. I saw this here on HN years ago and loved it, and then could never find it again. Judging by the YouTube videos linked from the page, it looks like 8 years ago?! I got chills playing through it. Awesome

They sure have done a job at positioning themselves at the intersection of maximum control over the web.

Seeing this all go down, it feels like this is exactly Google’s master plan. 1. Roll out stuff they brand as “privacy respecting” that actually collects data for their own use. 2. Brand anything that would give competitors access to that da

Apologies if you’d already seen this and were only trying to make a point, but you might like this article from a week or 2 ago that talks about how to run Llama 2 “uncensored” locally, and it seems to do a decent job of mitigating the serm

> In practice this will just mean "no Firefox, no Linux, no adblockers" And no curl, no yt-dlp or youtube-dl, no alternative YouTube frontends, no scraping the web to build an alternative search engine.

by dceddia 3y ago
Yeah, exactly this, and on top of that, it also conveniently for Google makes it impossible or wildly expensive to build an index of the web if most of it is behind this attestation stuff.

Do you happen to know if the WKWebView always uses the latest Safari that's been installed? That's been the thing I'm uncertain about, where I think I've run into situations where the installed Safari should support so

Thanks! It's Svelte, TypeScript, WebGL (for the timeline) and Tailwind on the UI side, and Rust for the backend that calls out to the libav libraries for the audio/video encoding/decoding. And there's a little Swift in t

by dceddia 3y ago
That's one place for sure, yeah. Video decoding is just resource intensive, especially if it's being done in software. Switching to hardware decoding is a big thing that's still on my todo list. Beyond that, drawing the timel

Sort of! On Windows, it's WebView2, which is more or less Chromium. On Mac it's the system's Safari, which I'm pretty sure is frozen at the OS release (or maybe gets updated with OS updates). So I'm less worried t

I haven’t seen anyone talking about how this supports Tauri yet, so I’ll start: that’s pretty great! For anyone who hasn’t heard of it yet, Tauri is a really nice Electron-like alternative that uses the system webview instead of shipping an

I do this a lot in lazygit, or at least something that sounds similar: I’ve got some changes, I stage them by pressing spacebar (or hitting enter and adding lines in a more granular way), and then switch to the Commits tab, arrow down to th

Hopefully someone with some benchmarks on this specific kind of thing can chime in, but to me it seemed like 8-10% conversion from notification to install was not too terrible. Don’t get me wrong, it sucks that it turned out this way! I’m j

This seems great, and it's open source, too: https://github.com/yattee/yattee And there's a native Mac app! And tvOS! Maybe I'm just getting old, but as I was reading through the list of features this do

I agree with the OP that the best way to learn it is to work through a real project, but I wouldn’t necessarily equate that with “picking it up and just getting stuff done”. At least, that’s not how it went for me, anyway! I hit all the rea

Adding to the others here, yeah - it has to loop over the whole array, and it allocates a new one. The allocation itself costs something and it also creates work for the garbage collector (freeing the old one). So it’s a lot of work compa

Tokio seems oddly good compared to the others. Is that because it’s using a thread pool instead of creating something new for every task? I wonder how it would fare if the tasks were more intense, and how the time-to-completion compares bet

Lately I’m seeing a lot of this baked-in assumption that ChatGPT writes good/idiomatic/performant code, as if the code it generates is ~The Answer~ . I guess it’s the modern version of copy/pasting from Stack Overflow. The c

This coupled with their device attestation stuff scares the hell out of me. Once enough of the internet is shielded by Cloudflare, and they only allow access to authorized (read: uniquely identifiable) devices (or else you have to answer a

I’ve noticed this too sometimes and I think it’s like a “meta” conversation on HN. It happens pretty often and I think people see an article about X, which reminds them of some other good article about X, and then they both end up on the fr

It always seemed a little weird to me that Discord decided to call them “servers” and let people believe things like this (that it’s yours, that it’s truly private even from the company’s eyes) when it’s really more akin to an invite-only F

I saw the Janet language mentioned a few times on HN recently and it looks like a nice flavor of lisp that’s also embeddable. Maybe that would be useful for EWW? I haven’t used Janet much other than going through the beginning of this book
