This point stands to be underlined! Even the least possible friction is more than people at large are willing to deal with, it's only if the system changes are pushed from the top (rumblings in the EU block at the mo) that we'll s

How far are we from having ffmpeg make automatic rotoscope versions of our videos?!

It always had worked like that and it has always been a 100% nonintuitive and peculiar way to deal with this operation

But surely the point is that the proxy key is for your local network, it ain't got no value on the interwebz.

I abandoned MacOS back in 2018 since I found it too quirky and poweruser-unfriendly (the main thing that comes to mind is neatly indicated by todays other MacOS related frontpage article on resizing). Now we can add overt instability to the

Confusing mg and IU units up front really do NOT inspire confidence on the topic and conclusion as a whole.

I use another distro but totally appreciate the effort to keep different branches of potential futures alive. Humans have a tendency, in tech and most other domains afaict, to put a lot of eggs in one basket because it's easier/al

Never read the Foundation series, the concept of psychohistory makes me want to though!

The title actually cringes me out a bit, it reads like early report titles in academia where young students (myself no doubt incl back when) try their hardest at making a title sound clever but in actuality only achieve obscuration of their

Yeah.. this is exactly the overall reality of the ecosystem isn't it? That being said I do hope uv succeeds in their unification effort, there's nothing worse than relying on a smattering of diff package managers and built streams

Talking about Python "somewhere in the middle" - I had a demo of a simple webview gtk app I wanted to run on vanilla Debian setup last night.. so I did the canonical-thing-of-the-month and used uv to instantiate a venv and pull th

Yup, but 5 to 15% faster year on year is real progress and that's ultimately what the big user base of Python are counting on at this point.. and they seem to be getting it! Full disclaimer: I'm not a heavy Python user exactly due

Anything out there for reference or would you be implementing from theory/ideas here? God speed to you in terms of the project overall, it's exciting to see the beginnings of a rust-like-lang without the headaches!

Any tentative ideas yet as to how you will manage the memory management? Sounds like a sort of magic 3rd way might be in the making/baking!

Yeah: thanks, that's a clear patent on not having me as a customer then

Sensible take, thank you. When HN get these "our project: from x to y language" frontpage stories I am always thinking that it would be far more exciting with "our project: 38.2% smaller code base by optimizing our dependency

Use the Brave browser and look at the inbuilt filtering (search for "Content Filters" in settings), it allows explicit removal of shorts via enabling of "YouTube Anti-Shorts" filter list. Does the job beautifully.

... but we will know from this link, thanks! edit: to think that such short-form drivel is locked behind a paywall is just sad.

Basic-to-great rationality or skill may not be what is being rewarded here (although the baseline of course needs to be met) - it could well be compliance capability. Hence the string of arbitrary memorization exercises.

I don't know, does Cursor offer anything substantial beyond an extension like kilocode? (I've only used vanilla VSCodium branch with various extensions but they all seem to integrate everything from tab-completion to complete UI a

Once the UI soup around AI dev use has settled (and it's getting closer) I bet you we will see native apps with c/c++/zig/rust backends that render so much faster on all the junctions that aren't roundtrip limited (

1. There was no point, having thought about it a bit; a lot of the patches (in essence it was at most a handful) revolved around disabling features which in turn could never have been upstreamed. An example was, as mentioned elsewhere in th

Having at some point maintained a soft fork / patch-set for Nextcloud.. yes, there is so much performance left on the table. With a few basic patches the file manager, for example, sped up by magnitudes in terms of render speed. The is

Think this looks beautiful, any idea as to the performance penalty vs say the new wg.Go(func({doSomething()}) sugared syntax in Go 1.25?
