I can absolutely make a native version that's considerably less efficient than this one. And yes, a more efficient browser version is possible (and possibly simpler). People like to fixate on platforms, but it's all about implem

This kind of "code study" is underrated. Turns out I was also influenced by studying code by the same author, but on another of his projects: https://github.com/LingDong-/Hermit (video demo: https:/&#x2

OK, I didn't realize how much detail was put into guns in Ghost in the Shell SAC: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_Stand_Alone_Com... I didn't even feel like it had much of a focus on gun fights,

Interesting, I would have made the opposite assumption ("the satellite is moving so much faster than everything else, we can estimate the interval from the satellite's speed alone). It seems both speeds might have a similar impact

Love my infrared thermometer for steeping tea at exact temperatures. These things are terrible for medical purposes since they only measure surface temperature, but they're perfect for diagnosing industrial machinery and tea. Also more

Indeed, I know some hacks were being held back until end-of-life. For example the author of SoundHax (one of the most important tools in 3DS hacking) said he was holding something off: https://twitter.com/nedwilliamson/

It's obviously not supposed to be a disclaimer of any legal value, judging from the sentence immediately after your quote: "I might take down these tracks or add more depending on the number of lawsuits I get slapped with". I

Yes, ever since Windows Vista thumbnails are in a central per-user directory. Old thumbnails are removed automatically. Definitely an improvement over previous behavior, at this point I would say it just needs easier configurability.

I've only smelled animal musk because a roadside salesman handed us a sampling box while we were stuck in traffic above Manali (this was only a few years ago). Quite a nice scent, actually, although I think dilution is key. The fact th

I also experienced this, the footer was missing as well. I tried from different devices and there was only one comment. I'm not sure how long it lasted but at least a few minutes, seems back to normal now.

Dark web marketplaces are not exactly "a system where nobody trusts anyone". They are pseudonymous, as opposed to completely anonymous, and sellers absolutely build reputation and some degree of trust. Otherwise nothing would work

Are you sure it wasn't just a plain old website? There was one posted here a few years ago (and I thought the site went down but it's actually still going): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13272112

This is really well done. I find the default "free form" mode is by far the most interesting, and it's more complex than a lot of the comments are implying here. It cycles between different patterns, and the pattern is change

The main problem with that decision is that every discussion having anything to do with Lua always devolves into repetitive bikeshedding about the 1-indexing.

I'm surprised someone on HN since 2012 would learn about the demoscene today! Then again, it's true that the demoscene "keeps to itself", it's always been quite the bubble. I'm not sure how that community could

You're right, too late to edit but the "easily" was wrong. More like "theoretically".

The command line version actually allows you to "not trust the server". But thinking it through I agree that the in-browser version could get served a different JS that grabs the hash and sends it to the server. This would be easi

This is neat and has potential. But I was somewhat arrested by this feature: " all pastes are cleared daily at 1:30am EST, so you have 12 hrs on average for your paste " So, 12 hours on average... zero seconds if you're unluc

The article repeatedly states that it's not about Lighthouse and that there's nothing wrong with Lighthouse. The point is that your website can be completely inaccessible and no amount of automated testing will detect it. You need

Wow, CSS system color keywords seem like a massive privacy leak. I just tested setting the property: background: Background; on an element, and then changing my Windows desktop background. The element immediately changes color to mat

Don't limit your search to the US. The "dictionary word" problem is reduced in worldwide search, which shows a more convincing trend for flutter. Though I wouldn't say it has a large or clear-cut lead on React Native. h

Looking at the screenshot in full size [1], it looks really cool but the text is visibly blurry (look at the = signs for example). Text rendering is hard, and especially for a text editor it's a good idea to just use the current platfo

One of Emacs' strongest points is its ability to nicely integrate things other than "just editing code" into your workflow. As the half-joke goes, it already has a mode for everything. So in that sense, your question kind of

On the contrary, there are rare but real phenomena that have no good videos. Meteors aren't that rare, try ball lightning instead. The only videos we have are blurry unclear blobs of pixels, totally unconvincing. Here's the "
