A Ruffle anecdote: I know websites ship Ruffle, but I've also had the Firefox extension installed for some old sites that do not. I recently had to disable it because it made Twitch claim that my browser is too old to use their website. I'm assuming they check for Flash support, and somehow that trumps everything else they use to identify the browser version. Pretty pathetic, honestly.

Reminds me of Blizzard embedding data inside World of Warcraft screenshots (link goes to a small write-up from 2012 in a forum focused on video game cheats; sorry, could not find a better source): https://www.ownedcore.com/forums/world-of-warcraft/world-of-...

Ahem. Clearly my math knowledge failing me here. Apologies, and thanks for clearing it up :)

Hm, perhaps, but I am confused now. In the article, you're comparing log_a x < log_b x, but now you're comparing log_a x > log_b x in your comment. To make it clear, I am running this code: https://bpa.st/ZCKA

Which prints, for LuaJIT: true true false

And for Lua 5.5: true false false

I've tested this with both LuaJIT and Lua 5.5. It appears to only affect LuaJIT. Worth mentioning in the article I'd say.

Firefox has added highlighting of search terms in the page's scroll bar quite a few versions ago, if you want to give it another spin for that.

Give it another try. I switched to Linux in 2022 and have been using fb2k via Wine all this time, and it runs perfectly.

The data URI you're using has no MIME type, and even then the data is still an invalid PNG image. Not sure why the Stack Overflow answer is suggesting that.

It feels like I am seeing more and more websites lately that have a favicon that is deliberately broken, and I'm not sure why this appears to be a thing that is somehow gaining traction.

I'm missing WezTerm from that comparison image/slide posted in the article. Been using WezTerm for almost two years now I think, and I could not be happier. Best terminal emulator hands down.

Oh heck, Miraheze spotted in the wild. Thank you for the work you do, it's invaluable.

Should not be too bad. The two are different enough that you can add some sort of context to your search terms, like searching for "tenno markdown".

Tenno is the name of the faction in the video game Warframe the player characters are comprised of. Just want to point that out.

I was indeed wondering. Thank you.

I really didn't expect anything Rust behind this title.

Could've called it Quokka.

The PDF comes with an English version, too. It's on pages 3 and 4 :)

A blog post about bad UX that has a video element with controls hidden and autoplay. With autoplay disabled, it can take a while to figure out this thing is a video that just isn't playing...

I have not yet tried Rye, but the installation guide shows me that it's yet another (seemingly new, too) tool that creates yet another folder in the user's home directory (as opposed to ~/.config or ~/.local/share). Why?

Probably not. These settings have been around for a long time already anyway, and they never get overwritten once set, at least in my experience.

My first thought upon reading Nuitka's name in the article was along the lines of "I hope they've contributed some of this to Nuitka". Not a very nice trend.

Does not appear to work properly in Firefox.

This is going to make text very large whenever somebody with an ultrawide monitor decides to maximize their browser window.

You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :)

My terminal emulator of choice, WezTerm, has this feature built in [1], so there's no need for using `reset`. Perhaps your terminal emulator has something like it, too?

I wasn't counting on finding anybody else who loves Born on HN, but here you are :)

Not just a system-wide key/value database, but one with a few optimizations on top, if memory serves me right. It's in-memory first, which I suppose makes it a tad faster and is also neat for reducing disk writes on anything that receives a lot of changes in a short amount of time.

I think the concept is not too shabby. Perhaps not the best execution or tooling, but on paper, it sounds quite useful.

I will be sharing that hill with you, if you don't mind.

I didn't expect to see Ventrilo anywhere ever again after they've torpedoed themselves off the market when they've stopped distributing their server binaries and people could not self-host anymore.

This is the first time I've heard about (Open)EXR, and it honestly sounds like a pretty neat format. But this article lacks context, and it sorely needs it. PNG has many good uses. Apparently not in the author's chosen domain, and yet they condemn PNG entirely.

Which makes this a highly opinionated piece. And why should I listen to the opinion of somebody who thinks it's necessary to disable context menus on their website?
