Please stop this.

How did we collectively accept that it's ok that a private company can forever change how our sky looks like (especially at night) for the generations to come?

This is so dystopian but it seems nobody cares. The most important thing is to have fast internet to watch cool AI-generated videos.

So depressing.

In a webring, do you usually always have the same fixed webring neighbours?

Back in the days, how did it usually work about this : If your neighbour has only 7 visitor/day but you do have 100/day, can you ask to change and have this other 10000 visitor/day-site as neighbour?

As a webring admin, how do you manage these member requests?

You can use this small Python script to display an histogram of `reasoning_output_tokens` in your past Codex sessions. I do see a spike at 516 indeed.

  import os, glob, re
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  vals = []
  for f in glob.glob(os.path.expanduser(r"~\.codex") + r"\**\*", recursive=True):
      if os.path.isfile(f):
          try:
              s = open(f, "r", encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore").read()
              vals += [int(x) for x in re.findall(r'"reasoning_output_tokens"\s*:\s*(\d+)', s)]
          except Exception:
              pass
  plt.hist(vals, bins=200, range=(0, 5000), weights=[100 / len(vals)] * len(vals))
  plt.xlabel("reasoning_output_tokens")
  plt.ylabel("%")
  plt.show()

This gives a 77 MB folder, not containing the browser (we're now using the OS' webview).

I wouldn't call this "Small by default".

I used this main.ts file: `Deno.serve(() => new Response("<h1>Hello, desktop</h1>", { headers: { "content-type": "text/html" }, }));`

and `deno desktop --backend webview main.ts`.

Unfortunately, launching `deno-test.bat` opens an empty white window, freezed (with waiting cursor...) on my Windows 10.

IIRC Electron hello world is ~ 100-150 MB because it bundles a browser/Chromium runtime.

So I hoped we could have a <= 20 MB solution by reusing the OS webview or similar. Having more than 400 MB is a bit deceptive for me. (Again: maybe I just did something wrong in the config: should I do something else than `deno desktop test.ts`?)

I just tried `deno desktop helloworld.ts` and the result is 442 MB. So it's not any lighter than Electron (see my toplevel comment)

> deno desktop is opinionated about those tradeoffs:

> Small by default, full Node compatibility

I tried `deno desktop index.ts` with the 5-line Hello world in the article.

Result (Windows 10): 442 MB. Ouch.

I thought it would be smaller than an Electron build, but it's far worse. Did I do something wrong?

(libcef.dll: 247 MB) (deno-test.dll: 78 MB <- contains the hello world)

Nice project, always interesting to see HTMX-inspired frameworks.

If you want something even more minimalistic, I did Swap.js: 100 lines of code, handles AJAX navigation, browser history, custom listeners when parts of DOM are swapped, etc.

https://github.com/josephernest/Swap.js

Using it for a few production products and it works quite well!

Let's say I want to compile a helloworld.cpp with no build tools installed yet.

What is the minimal winget command to get everything installed, ready for : cl main.cpp ?

Ps: I mean a winget command which does not ask anything, neither in command line, nor GUI ? Totally unattenfed.

In France (and probably everywhere) there is currently massive deployment of FTTH (fiber to the home) and removal of copper lines, since a decade.

Does this mean we could have kept the good old copper lines from 60 years ago and still enjoy 1 Gbit internet in residential areas?

Out of curiosity, any other example without redirect, in which the URL stays https://<ip> in the browser?

Do I understand correctly: would someone have a concrete example of URL which is both an IP address and HTTPS, widely accessible from global internet? e.g. https://<ipv4-address>/ ?

Thanks.

1. It is part of a bigger web-browser dashboard/control interface and this camera display is just one component among many others.

2. Some of the (USB) cameras can have proprietary interfaces such as https://www.ximea.com/support/wiki/apis/python

How would you do in this situation, to have the video stream in the browser, with as low CPU usage as possible?

3. Not for this project but for a future project, feel free to put a link to your portfolio or contact page (even if you remove the comment later)

Related: for some hardware project, I have a backend server (either C++ or python) receiving frames from an industrial camera, uncompressed.

And I need these frames displayed in a web browser client but on the same computer (instead of network trip like in this article).

How would you do this ?

I eventually did more or less like OP with uncompressed frames.

My goal is to minimize CPU usage on the computer. Would h264 compression be a good thing here given source and destination are the same machine?

Other ideas?

NB: this camera cannot be directly accessed by the browser.

Why would it be limited to ~ 100 connections on a 1-4 GB RAM server? Out of curiosity if we fork() httpd and exec() the cgi handler, it doesn't take the same RAM as the parent process and it could just take a few KB or MB, is that right? So I guess 1000+ concurrent connections even on a small server is possible.

Playing devil's advocate, could it be that they require a temporary access to a customized Windows driver (and thus they fake a trusted root certificate) to make Ventoy work? If that's the case, they should have documented it properly in the source...

Or do you think it's 100% malicious?

Up to now, I confirm I can reproduce the following steps:

- download of official "iventoy-1.0.20-win64-free.zip"

- extraction of "iventoy.dat"

- conversion back to "iventoy.dat.xz" thanks to @ppatpat's Python code

- confirm that "wintool.tar.xz" is recognized by VirusTotal as something that injects fake root certificates

The next steps are scary, given the popularity of Ventoy/iVentoy :

> Analyzing "iventoy.dat.xz\iventoy.dat.\win\vtoypxe64.exe" we see it includes a self signed certificate named "EV" certificate "JemmyLoveJenny EV Root CA0" at offset=0x0002C840 length=0x70E. > vtoypxe64.exe programmatically installs this certificate in the registry as a "trusted root certificate"

(I am not the person who found it, but I reproduced and I confirm his finding)

I still use Office 2007 on my computer. Super super snappy, I think Word or Excel starts and finishes loading in 0.5 second after clicking the icon. It has 99% of the features I need compared to the newest Office version.

No it is not.

You can hear many MP3 examples here: https://www.jeuxdorgues.com/jeux-d-orgues-4-lachaisedieu/

All are played with the virtual organ, what do you think?

I'll do a post soon with more stories about this project itself (that I started long ago)!

Oh something in my niche ! I produce French pipe organ sample sets for a living : https://www.jeuxdorgues.com

It's an extroardinary journey to record an organ, process the thousands of WAV files and design a virtual organ model.

I've done a similar tool a few years ago, with "contenteditable". It's great. Especially for non-tech people who want to quickly edit articles on a website. (that was an experiment).

The problem I had: when people copy/paste HTML from external sources, after a few edits, a few months later, you see that the HTML is just a horrible mix of various mixed up tags, the structure is lost, you have

    <div><div><div><div><p><div>

everywhere and it's impossible to clean it in WYSIWYG.

OP, did you find a satisfying solution to this problem? A good compromise for sanitizing of copy/paste content? TL;DR: not remove the images, but clean the

    <table class="cf gJ" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr class="acZ"><td class="gF gK"><table class="cf ix" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="c2"><h3 class="iw gFxsud"><span class="qu" role="gridcell" tabindex="-1">

stuff when copy/pasting?

(Curious about HN readers' views about this!)

Open source is not trademarked by FSF or OSI. I think it is ok to call it open source since the source is open.

But here the source is open!

Why should we restrict the meaning of Opel Source, a societal mouvement since decades, to a list of criteria that FSF or OSI decided?

Open source is not a trade mark by FSF or OSI.

OP did not say it is free/libre software, but just open source, which it is.

We don't need "source available", just open source is correct.

PS: can you define the open source body in your previous comment?
