Sorry, but this sounds more like a myth, or at least heavily exaggerated. Similar to how Japan often gets romanticized. Organizing the entire chain geographically at the scale you described (inter-city) doesn't bring huge cost advantag

To me, a project's "hype-ness" is the ratio of how much attention it gets over how useful it actually is to users. As a browser, Ladybird usefulness is currently quite limited for obvious reasons. This is not meant to dismiss

I'd argue Ladybird itself is a "hype" project.

I don't get how it works. > Encoding: Files are chunked, encoded with fountain codes, and embedded into video frames Wouldn't YouTube just compress/re-encode your video and ruin your data (assuming you want bit-by-bit accu

I'm not well-versed in the terms, so I'm not sure which part is the so-called "audio aliasing." To me, the original has very obvious background noise which the enhanced version removes. But as the author has said, the en

What I don't get is how the author can't pin the year down to anything narrower than "between 1994 and 1997," especially considering he wrote the article in 2002: only a few years later. I'm not at all implying the

UX bug: I don't use dark mode. Every time I open this site, it firstly shows in dark mode and then switches to light mode after 0.x seconds.

Not sure whether such "criticism" is welcome here, since it is ultimately subjective, but I will just be blunt and say: I disagree. I like this style of writing as well, but I think this article overdoes it, to the point that it b

It's not, here is a good article about it: https://gist.github.com/valinet/d66733e5f1398856bb21bda466a2... (And a workaround). Unfortunately I cannot modify registry at work so I have to live with it.

Windows struggles even with native apps, as soon as you have monitors using different scaling settings. I'm currently using a laptop (1920x1200, 125%) + external monitor (1920x1080, 100%) at work. The task manager has blurry text when

I'm sure Markdown was already popular, but I agree with the OP that GitHub made it orders of magnitude more popular. Previously its popularity was somewhat similar to RST.

Your link is wrong. It must be lower case .json.

Is the article itself written by the manufacturer or a 3rd party? It keeps saying "we ..." but then also "[i]t seems that ...". Edit: apparently the site is translated from its original Japanese version, which explains t

Wow, thanks. I vaguely remembered reading something about this years ago on Zhihu, and I didn't even realize it was the same article!

I would like to read the original Chinese version as a native speaker. Is there any chance you post that (the article itself) too?

it's extremely slow and throws 502 from time to time, but not entirely unreachable here.

Then I agree with this. But still feel their size is irrelevant.

I won't "defend" Microsoft in this case, but I am always annoyed by phrases like "world's biggest billion-dollar businesses... bablah". Their size or past misbehaviors shouldn't be relevant to this discuss

The whole HDR scene still feels like a mess. I know how bad the support for HDR is on computers (particularly Windows and cheap monitors), so I avoid consuming HDR content on them. But I just purchased a new iPhone 17 Pro, and I was very su

I'm not too surprised. It's similar to the metric that "XX% of Internet is on IPv6" -- it's almost entirely driven by mobile devices, specifically phones. As soon as both mainstream Android and iPhones support it, t

A lot of 3rd party software handle space, or special characters wrong on Windows. The most common failure mode is to unnecessarily escape characters that don't need to be escaped. Chrome's Dev Tool (Network)'s "copy curl

Sorry I'm still confused. Do you have a reliable way to detect if a smart glass is recording or not? I never used smart-glasses regularly, but wouldn't it be "on" all the time if one is using it, so detecting the power-o

Snoopy or Peanuts in general is (was) very famous in my country (at least for my age) but I only read it in comic. So no idea what the song is about, unfortunately. I don't even know it has animation version.

Yeah, that's definitely a perk of living in the US / Americas. Hummingbirds were one of the most often mentioned birds in the pop-science books I read as a kid because of how unique and interesting they are, but since I grew up in
