I've been trialling Marginalia Search a little and one thing that's struck me is the latency. The only other site I use with similar latency is HN; Marginalia seems even lower despite being dynamic (HN has a much easier caching st

Another notable deviation that may affect the aesthetic is that it's been slightly seriffed (fIijl) for some reason.

Apart from being free, the differences seem to be: - Comic Code is more heavily serifed - Comic Mono is "semi-serif" (a balanced blend between serif mono fonts & the sans-serif Comic Sans). Not sure why they both didn't g

It can do screen capture. That doesn't make it a screen capture utility. In the same way as Visual Studio is not a note-taking app, blender3d is not a video editor and Excel is not an IDE.

Sorry I should've been clearer: it can certainly be used to capture your screen. It's just an extremely ancillary subfeature.

I haven't used ShareX so I may be missing something here, but the website seems to indicate it's a screen capture utility. Does it do more? OBS is not a screen capture utility.

I'm not sure how you read my comment but just to clarify, I was referring to the public transport system being substandard. I wasn't implying in any way that this is your fault (nor that of any commuter), the criticism is purely b

Dublin may be improving but I still find it extremely poor; I'm curious which capitals you're comparing it to. One extra issues with Dublin is that it's not as simple as absense of bike lanes, there's a lot of very dange

I came to the comments precisely to post this exact link so delighted to see someone beat me to it. Opera were always so good at giving a window into the world of compatibility testing & challenges - @hallvord in particular had a great

You're using the term "OS" but you're not talking about OSes you're talking about kernels. The OS is what comes with the computer or gets installed in the default setup if you're installing yourself. Most of it

The fediverse is federated (it's in the name). This is distributed (P2P). They're fundamentally different concepts in the underlying protocol so compatibility is a bit odd to think about here. There are certainly overlaps in the t

There was a recent thread on HN about generating HTML using string templates, arguing that if users keep on doing something for years despite constant recommendations against it, the recommendations must be wrong. I didn't agree with i

Security is far from the only reason, but it's a good starting point to understand the downsides of string templates so we can start by looking at it purely through the lens of security: From a security perspective, when it comes to HT
